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.
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.
Effective January 1, 2012, The Foundation's grantmaking will focus on building and enriching the Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics. The final application cycle for the program (as presently constituted) will be spring 2011 with an application deadline of February 1, 2011.
For more informations and to discuss the implications of these changes, please contact William C. Stubing, President of The Foundation.
