The Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics is a
career development award to enable early-career faculty members to carry out
innovative bioethics research. It supports research that goes beyond current
work in bioethics to help resolve pressing ethical issues in clinical,
biomedical, and public health decision-making, policy, and practice, and
creates a community that enhances future bioethics research by Scholars and
Alums.

Who May Apply?

Applicants must be early-career faculty members at a
university or non-profit research institute that has tax-exempt status in
the United States. Applicants must hold a faculty appointment (or other
long-term research position outside a university) that allows at least 50
percent of their effort to perform research (often this is a faculty position
with at least a 60 percent appointment in a tenure-track position or its
equivalent). Priority will be given to applicants who have not yet been considered
for tenure or an equivalent promotion; whose research will have an impact on
clinical, biomedical, and public health decision-making, policy, and practice;
and who will make important contributions to the field of bioethics over their
careers.

Faculty Scholars will be selected on the basis of the
strength of their research project, their commitment to the field of bioethics,
their achievements, their potential for growth as a bioethics scholar, and
support from their home institution, including after the end of this award.

Funding:

The award supports 50 percent of a Scholar’s salary plus
benefits for three years, up to the NIH
salary cap, with 10 percent institutional costs for the salary and
benefits. This funding is intended to ensure that at least 50 percent of the
Scholar’s time is devoted to bioethics research. In addition, the Foundation
provides $5,000 each year for limited project support and travel (no indirect
costs are provided for these items).
