The Director must involve experts on the social effects of science and technology. The Director must set up ways for the public to give input on ethics and society. This applies to choosing challenges, awarding money, and every stage of funded projects.

The Director must, as appropriate, engage experts in the social dimensions of science and technology, and must set up formal avenues for public input, as appropriate. The goal is to make sure ethical, legal, and societal considerations shape the Directorate's priorities and activities — including the selection of the challenges and key technology focus areas under section 19107, the process of making awards, and all stages of supported projects.
