The Greenwall Foundation is inviting Letters of Intent for its Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics, a career-development award designed 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, and creates a community that enhances future bioethics research by Greenwall scholars and alumni/ae.
Each year, the foundation selects approximately three Greenwall Faculty Scholars to receive 50 percent salary support for three years to enable them to develop their research program.
Scholars 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 the mentoring of younger scholars.
To be eligible, applicants must be junior faculty member at a university or nonprofit research institute that has tax-exempt status in the United States. Applicants also must hold 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 or an equivalent promotion; whose research will have an impact on public policy, biomedical research, or clinical practice; and who will make important contributions to the field of bioethics over their careers.
LOIs must be received by October 1. Selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application online by January 11, 2019.
