Deadline: 22 July 2024
The Greenwall Foundation is requesting proposals for the Bridging Bioethics Research & Policymaking grant initiative, which supports the innovative and practical integration of bioethics into policy.
This initiative does not fund bioethics research but, rather, supports bioethics researchers, policymakers, and others to take the next step and bridge the divide between research results and policymaking.
Rapid developments in healthcare, science, and technology raise exciting possibilities to advance their health and well-being, but also raise complex ethical dilemmas. Strengthening the relationship between bioethics and policy can help decision-makers navigate conflicting points of view and find the best way forward.
Funding Information
- Grants under this initiative will be capped at $50,000. Projects with smaller budgets and shorter timelines will receive priority.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Greenwall Foundation only makes awards to affiliated individuals at institutions with tax-exempt status in the United States.
- Relevant policymaking under this initiative can occur at the federal, state, or local level. The Foundation intentionally is not prescribing the mechanisms it will fund through this initiative and welcomes creative ideas and applications. For illustrative purposes only, such mechanisms might include making actionable bioethics research readily available to policymakers in digestible and accessible formats or scaling up an evidence-based policy solution. They are unlikely to include publishing in an academic journal.
- Consistent with its status as a 501(c)(3) private foundation, the Foundation will not fund direct or grassroots lobbying (i.e., attempts to influence specific legislation) under this initiative, but education, nonpartisan analyses/reports, and other similar efforts are appropriate.
- They understand that proposed projects might benefit from varied professional expertise on the project team, for example, expertise in policy, communications and media relations, data visualization, or other fields. Therefore, applications from or partnerships with policymakers and others outside of academia are encouraged.
- In addition, the Foundation is committed to building a broad and inclusive bioethics that welcomes everyone, elevates many perspectives, asks a wide range of questions, and learns from diverse voices.
