The Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership, a new program of the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, is offering the Johnson Award for Best Papers in Ethics and Accountability in Public Service.

A total of six cash prizes will be awarded – two $2,500 established scholar prizes to university faculty, scholars and researchers and four $1,000 emerging scholar prizes to master’s and PhD students – for papers that stimulate disciplined reflection and address issues of ethics and accountability in the public, international and nonprofit sectors.

Acceptable submissions include papers delivered at conferences or published in journals, professional reports, student theses and book chapters. The institute also encourages submitting papers under consideration for presentation at conferences or inclusion in journals.

For more information on submission guidelines, visit www.ethics.pitt.edu or call 412/648-1336. Deadline for the Johnson Award is September 17.
