Established in 1998 by the University of Alabama Trustees, the center is unique in that it focuses on broad value questions in the sciences in general, not just bioethics. The Center seeks to be a focal point both on campus and nationally for discussion of value issues in science. The main activities of the Center are a yearly national conference and ongoing research ethics training at UAB.
