Brief Description:

Description:

The Greenwall Foundation Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics provides support for assistant or associate faculty members holding at least a 60% appointment at a university or non profit research institute in the U.S. and whose research has the potential to impact public policy, biomedical research, or clinical practice in the field of bioethics.
The award supports 50% of a Scholar’s salary plus benefits for three years, up to the NIH salary cap, with 10% institutional costs for the salary and benefits. In addition, the Greenwall Foundation provide $5000 each year for limited project support and travel (no indirect costs are provided for these items).

Application Information:

Applicants are asked to submit
(this information will appear again should the applicant select "Apply" above)

A research proposal of not more than three (3) pages emphasizing the significance of the work proposed, how the research will be carried out and how likely it is to have an impact on public policy, biomedical research, or clinical care. Any associated graphics and/or references may be placed on blank pages after the written work

A letter from the applicant's Department Chair acknowledging that if successfully awarded a Greenwall Faculty scholar is to devote 50% of their time to their proposed project

A current CV (no preferred format)

Eligibility Criteria:

Applicants must be junior faculty members holding at least a 60% appointment in a tenure series or its equivalent at a university or non-profit research institute in the United States. Priority will be given to applicants who have not yet been considered for tenure, who have not received a comparable career development award, and whose work will have an impact on public policy, biomedical research, or clinical practice
Faculty Scholars will be selected on the basis of their achievements, the strength of their research project, their commitment to the field of bioethics, and support from their home institution, including after the end of this award. While the amount and quality of an applicant's research in bioethics will count favorably towards his/her application, outstanding candidates with less direct experience in bioethics will also be considered.
Within this group, priority will be given to applicants whose research addresses innovative and emerging topics. Lower priority will be given to applicants who are primarily carrying out institutional change, educational reform, or theoretical bioethics research.
Please note: Up to two applicants from a university will be considered in each application cycle. Institutions are requested to have an internal screening and selection process. No more than one award per institution will be made in each Faculty Scholars grant cycle. The unit of award will be the overseeing university, thus if a university with a law school, medical school, several teaching hospitals, and a faculty of arts and sciences, nominates two applicants in a cycle, only one may be chosen.
