Greenwall Foundation to Fund Grants in Bioethics and Patient Care
The Greenwall Foundation has announced a new initiative, The Kornfeld Program in Bioethics and Patient Care. The program will focus on ethical issues affecting the lives of patients on an individual level. Priority will be given to practical projects (rather than the theoretical) with anticipated outcomes available at the patients' bedside. It is anticipated that four to six grants will be awarded annually and multi-year initiatives will be considered. Junior investigators are encouraged to apply, as well as researchers seeking support for pilot projects. Inquiries should be directed to the Greenwall Foundation admin@greenwall.org or www.greenwall.org.
The Greenwall Foundation was established in 1949 by Frank K Greenwall and his wife, Anna Alexander Greenwall. Begun as a family foundation with an initial capital of $13,500, Greenwall is today an independent foundation awarding approximately $3 million annually and recognized nationally for its interdisciplinary program in bioethics and for supporting innovative artistic work in New York City.
Johns Hopkins University already hosts The Greenwall Fellowship Program in Bioethics and Health Policy, in collaboration with Georgetown University. At JHU, Greenwall Fellows work with faculty of the Berman Institute of Bioethics and the Philosophy Department, as well as the faculty of the School of Medicine, and of the Bloomberg School of Public Health. The Berman Institute of Bioethics website gives further information on the Greenwall Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program as well as application details.
