Three Commitments for Responsible M-CELS Research and Corresponding Strategies

1. Facilitate inclusive deliberation on moral considerability	2. Choose and develop responsible applications	3. Develop institutional mechanisms to address ethical and societal challenges
At the laboratory level, maintain a sensitivity to questions regarding moral considerability and a focus on actual (rather than merely assumed) societal needs.		Foster ethical deliberation skills throughout the M-CELS training pipeline (i.e. high school - post-doc), with concrete learning objectives and in collaboration with humanities and social science departments.
Continuously seek to identify alternative M-CELS design choices and trade-offs, and openly discuss the values underlying these choices and trade-offs.		Allocate time and resources for faculty and students to work on societal and ethical issues by establishing norms and structures that recognize and reward such work. Incentivize the integration of “ethics and society” reflections in M-CELS publications and grant applications.
Organize events and initiatives that facilitate two-way communication between M-CELS researchers and publics about moral considerability and responsible applications.		Recruit partners with experience interacting with the public (e.g. at science museums, libraries, local government, places of worship, hospitals). Develop and share public engagement strategies and open access educational material.
Build on existing expertise from other disciplines (esp. social sciences and humanities), ethical review boards, and other publics. Comply with existing norms in research ethics, while also encouraging public and stakeholder discussion of how these norms should evolve with M-CELS research.		Fund research collaborations, conferences, and networks between M-CELS researchers and social scientists, ethicists and other experts and stakeholder groups.
Proactively seek out ethical perspectives and values that are likely to differ from those of the researchers.		Encourage and fund initiatives and interventions aimed at increasing diversity (in all forms) within the M-CELS research community.
