The Greenwall Foundation is requesting proposals for the Spring 2022 cycle of its bioethics grants program, Making a Difference in Real-World Bioethics Dilemmas.
Donor Name: The Greenwall Foundation
Country: United States
States: All States
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 01/04/2022
Details:
The Making a Difference program supports research to help resolve an important emerging or unanswered bioethics problem in clinical, biomedical, or public health decision-making, policy, or practice.
Priority Topics
While the foundation welcome all innovative proposals that will have a real-world impact, they are particularly interested in proposals that address the ethical and policy issues raised by the following priority topics:
- The COVID-19 pandemic and other public health crises, including their impact on mental health;
- Bias and discrimination against patients or clinicians, which may be based on a broad range of characteristics and which may involve institutional and systemic contributors to bias and racism as well as health disparities or social determinants of health;
- Trust in science, medicine, and public health;
- Developments in artificial intelligence;
- Responses to the opioid epidemic;
- Healthcare access, costs, and resource allocation.
What will not be funded under this program?
Projects with the following characteristics will not be funded under this program:
- Projects for which bioethics is not the main focus.
- Projects that simply describe or analyze bioethics issues or provide a conceptual framework, without making practical recommendations for resolving the issues.
- Projects that implement or make incremental improvements in established approaches to bioethics problems, build institutional infrastructure, or provide bioethics education, training, or coursework.
- Projects that have predetermined conclusions or advocate for predetermined positions.
- Projects whose main goal is to convene or enhance a meeting, unless there is a well-developed plan to produce a major peer-reviewed publication with consensus recommendations, guidelines, or best practices that have a strong likelihood of real-world implementation. The applicant must have a strong record in convening similar successful impactful meetings.
- Projects to support or extend ongoing or core activities of an organization.
- Projects with a principal investigator who does not have a PhD, JD, MD, or an equivalent doctoral-level degree.
The Greenwall Foundation only makes awards to affiliated individuals at institutions with tax-exempt status in the United States. In addition, an individual cannot simultaneously receive Making a Difference and Faculty Scholars Program funding from The Greenwall Foundation.
