University of Minnesota Libraries' EthicShare Project

EthicShare (www.ethicshare.org) is a discovery, research, and collaboration website designed to help you do research, share, collaborate, and participate in the field of ethics. It was originally conceptualized and developed at the University of Minnesota by the University of Minnesota Libraries, UMN Center for Bioethics, and UMN Computer Science Department. EthicShare is currently maintained at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and the Welch Medical Library as a free service to the community. Generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, EthicShare was launched as both a resource for scholars and an experimental environment to enable interdisciplinary scholarship and collaboration. It was developed over three grant cycles from 2006 - 2011. As of 2014, EthicShare had over 7600 registered users from around the globe and was transferred to Johns Hopkins in 2016. The documents in this collection are the proposals and final reports generated for each grant cycle.
