Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics (2026-2027)

About this program

The Greenwall Foundation’s Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics is a competitive career‑development award that supports early‑career faculty to conduct innovative bioethics research; each year roughly three Scholars receive 50% salary support (up to the NIH cap) and benefits for three years, plus $5,000/year for project expenses and participation in mentored seminars and meetings. Selection prioritizes original projects that address pressing clinical, biomedical, or public‑health ethics problems with strong conceptual and methodological rigor and clear potential to influence policy, practice, or scholarship. Applicants must be early‑career faculty at U.S. tax‑exempt universities or nonprofit research institutes with an appointment allowing at least 50% effort for research (priority to pre‑tenure candidates); only one nominee per parent institution may apply, and LOIs must include a 3‑page single‑spaced project letter, a ≤5‑page CV, and a one‑page institutional confirmation. LOIs are due Sept 9, 2026 (11:59 pm ET) with invited full applications due Jan 4, 2027; the Foundation does not fund projects focused primarily on education, institutional QI, basic science without a clear bioethics link, or advocacy‑only work.
