Each year, the Notre Dame-IBM Tech Ethics Lab releases a Call for Proposals (CFP) for the purpose of funding practical and applied interdisciplinary research in tech ethics.

The focus of the 2022-23 CFP is “Auditing AI.” Potential areas for research and scholarship include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Scope of AI audits
  • Regulatory frameworks for AI audits
  • Methodologies for AI audits
  • Skills for future AI auditors
  • Teaching methodologies for AI audits
  • How AI audits may impact various sectors and industries
  • Suggested best practices for AI audits
  • Adoption and deployment of AI audits

Successful applications will propose a defined deliverable (such as, but not limited to, research papers, draft policy, model legislation, teaching materials, and impact assessments) that address the above challenges to be completed between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023. Applicants may apply for up to $60,000 USD in funding.
