Developing values-driven, effective leaders, and advancing institutional integrity through intentional professional development
The National Center for Principled Leadership & Research Ethics (NCPRE) researches, develops, and delivers intentional professional development programming for academic environments. Our core idea is promoting Cultures of Excellence in these settings: high performing and productive teams that are also guided by values of respect and inclusion.
We create tools and resources to inspire, support, and evaluate them all.
Pilot our Programs
Build the skills no one ever warned you’d need by piloting the program individually or with your lab group.
