The Greenwall Foundation
Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics

Who may apply?
Applicants must be junior faculty members holding at least a 60% appointment at a university or non-profit research institute in the U.S.

Priority will be given to applicants who are below the rank of Associate Professor, who have not received a comparable career development award, and whose work will have an impact on public policy or clinical practice. 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 working on institutional change, educational reform, or primarily theoretical research. Applicants who propose to carry out a conceptual or theoretical analysis should specify how such work will lead to changes in public policy 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. While the amount of an applicant's original work in bioethics will count favorably towards his/her application, outstanding candidates with less direct experience in bioethics will also be considered.

Only one applicant from an institution will be considered; institutions are requested to have an internal screening and selection process. At a university with a law school, medical school, and school of arts and sciences, for example, only one candidate may submit a preliminary application.

How to apply
A preliminary application will be due on 21 November, 2008. Applicants must write a three-page letter of intent that includes (1) a description of their research proposal, particularly its significance, how it will be carried out, and how it is likely to have an impact on public policy or clinical practice; and (2) a personal statement describing their goals in the field of bioethics. This letter should be double-spaced and in type no smaller than 12-point. The applicant should also submit a curriculum vitae, no longer than 5 single-spaced pages and a cover page including the project title and applicant's contact information.

Preliminary applications should be submitted electronically. They should be sent as file attachments to greenwall@medicine.ucsf.edu. The subject line of the email should contain the applicant's full name. Files should be sent as PDF (.pdf) files. PDF files are necessary to ensure that application formatting is not lost.

Program Guidelines

Through its interdisciplinary program in bioethics, The Foundation provides funding for physicians, lawyers, philosophers, theologians and other professionals to address micro and macro issues in bioethics, providing guidance for those engaged in decision-making at the bedside as well as those responsible for shaping institutional and public policy.

The Foundation is especially interested in the work of junior investigators and pilot projects that may lead to NIH support, and it is prepared to address issues regarded by some as sensitive or potentially controversial.

The Foundation is not normally interested in proposals to support equipment purchase, facility construction or renovation, or general operating expenses, and will not normally consider grants to private foundations, endowment funds, or individual applicants.

Grant making in bioethics is focused on five programs: (1) research and project grants; (2) The Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program; (3) The Greenwall Fellowship Program in Bioethics and Health Policy; (4) The Oscar M Ruebhausen Visiting Professorship; and (5) The Kornfeld Program in Bioethics and Patient Care.
Proposals should be submitted electronically in a single PDF document to admin@greenwall.org. In addition, three copies of the proposal should be mailed to The Greenwall Foundation, 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2500, New York, New York 10170. Requests for support should include:

* Cover page, with applicant's name, institution, and contact information (mailing address, telephone number, facsimile number, and email address), project title, project grant period, and amount requested
* Executive Summary (one-page)
* Statement (not to exceed 8 pages single spaced) of (1) objectives and specific aims, (2) background and significance, (3) preliminary data, (4) research design -- methods and data analysis, and (5) plans for dissemination and future work
* References
* Appendices, including survey instruments, letters of support, and unpublished articles especially relevant to the work at hand.
* NIH-type curriculum vitae (not to exceed 4 pages) with statement of principal investigator's other financial support
* Summary budget (expense and income) specifying the amount requested from The Greenwall Foundation for this project - please download and use this form
* 501(c)3 tax exemption letter

The application should be in Times New Roman 12 point font. (Please note that this is larger than the NIH minimum.)

Proposal deadlines are:

* February 1 for the spring grant cycle
* August 1 for the autumn grant cycle

Proposals, both electronic and hard copies, must be received at The Foundation's offices by close of business (5:00 pm EST) on these dates or, should these dates fall on a weekend, on the next business day.

Applicants are encouraged to telephone The Foundation's President regarding their proposals well in advance of the application deadlines.

Applicants whose proposals are declined are customarily requested to wait a full year before submitting another proposal for consideration by The Foundation's Board.
