The Greenwall Foundation invites proposals for The Kornfeld Program in Bioethics and Patient Care.
The program focuses on ethical issues affecting the lives of patients on an individual level. Priority will be given to projects practical (rather than theoretical) with anticipated outcomes applicable at the patients’ bedside.
Junior investigators are encouraged to apply as well as researchers seeking support for pilot projects. It is anticipated four to six grants will be awarded each year and multi-year initiatives will be considered.
The Kornfeld Program in Bioethics and Patient Care is administered by The Greenwall Foundation within the parameters of Greenwall’s interdisciplinary program in bioethics, that is, with the same application procedures and deadlines and the same rigorous standards of review.
A five-year commitment of $1,000,000 will underwrite $200,000 per year of grant making.
All inquiries should be directed to The Greenwall Foundation.
For further information, call, write or email William C. Stubing, President.
