The University Center for Human Values aims to support ethical inquiry in many disciplines by making explicit what is sometimes an implicit interest, and by furthering interdisciplinary evaluations of both individual decisions and institutional practices.

Through the teaching and research it sponsors, the University Center encourages the systematic study of the sources, interpretations, implications, modes of transmission, and significance of ethical values as well as reflection on the various approaches suitable to this task. Through all of its programs and activities, the University Center fosters far-ranging examination of the ethical meaning of various human activities.

Each year the University Center awards Graduate Prize Fellowships to doctoral students who are working on interdisciplinary dissertations in the area of ethics and human values. Fellowships are open to enrolled graduate students from any department at Princeton who have passed their general examination and are working on their dissertation.
