(FOA)-Limited Submission – The Greenwall Foundation – Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program (2019-2020); September 23, 2019

 

Purpose: The Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics is a career development award to enable junior faculty members to carry out innovative bioethics research. The program supports research that goes beyond current work in bioethics to help resolve pressing ethical issues in clinical care, biomedical research, and public policy. Proposed projects must address an important bioethics issue in an innovative way that will significantly advance the field. Applicants must have a demonstrated ability to carry out innovative bioethics research.

Scholars and Alumni/ae attend twice-yearly meetings, where they present their works in progress, receive feedback and mentoring from the Faculty Scholars Program Committee and other Scholars and Alumni/ae, and have the opportunity to develop collaborations with other researchers. The ongoing involvement of Alumni/ae with the Program provides them ongoing opportunities for professional development and feedback, and engages them in mentoring of younger Scholars.

 

Eligibility: Applicants must be junior faculty members holding a faculty appointment 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.

 

Funding Amount/ Project Period: 50 percent salary support and $5,000 for project support per year for three years
