July 21, 2025 (Full Proposal)

Up to $50,000 per project; priority for smaller budgets and shorter timelines.

Supports projects that bridge the gap between bioethics research findings and policymaking through innovative translation mechanisms.

--- ## Description This grant initiative from the Greenwall Foundation funds projects that develop, adapt, or improve mechanisms to connect completed bioethics research with policymaking at the federal, state, or local level. Rather than supporting new bioethics research, the program focuses on translating existing research findings into actionable policy impact. The initiative encourages creative approaches to making bioethics research accessible and useful to policymakers and welcomes proposals from a wide range of stakeholders, including those outside academia. Projects may include, but are not limited to, efforts such as: - Synthesizing bioethics research into accessible formats for policymakers - Scaling up evidence-based policy solutions rooted in bioethics findings - Developing tools, briefings, or other mechanisms to inform policy decisions Lobbying activities (i.e., attempts to influence specific legislation) are not eligible for funding. The Foundation encourages applications from or in partnership with policymakers and stakeholders beyond the traditional academic community. --- ## Due Dates - Full proposals are due by **July 21, 2025, 11:59 pm ET**. - Project start dates must be on or after October 1, 2025, but no later than January 1, 2026. - Applicants will be notified of decisions by late August or early September 2025. --- ## Funding Amount - Maximum award: **$50,000 per project** - Projects with smaller budgets and shorter timelines will be prioritized. - Funding is provided as a one-time grant for the proposed project period. --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be affiliated with institutions that have tax-exempt status in the United States. - Proposals are welcome from: - Bioethics researchers - Policymakers - Other stakeholders positioned to translate bioethics research to policy (including those outside academia) - Teams may include expertise in policy, communications, media, data visualization, or related fields. - There is **no limit** on the number of applications from a single institution per cycle. - Proposed projects must not include direct or grassroots lobbying. --- ## Application Process All applications must be submitted through the Greenwall Foundation’s [online grant portal](https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=greenwall): **Required materials:** - Brief (75–100 word) lay abstract of the project - Three-page narrative (12-point font, 1-inch margins; references excluded from page limit) including: - Explanation of the relevant bioethics research findings - Discussion of the policy gap/challenge and potential impact - Description of the proposed mechanism, audience, and methods - Rationale for the mechanism’s promise - Team experience in effecting policy change - Measures of success - Publication or summary (e.g., abstract) of the bioethics research to be translated (≤20 pages) - CVs for the project lead and up to two team members (≤5 pages each) - Proposed budget (use [this template](https://greenwall.org/assets/pdf/greenwall-bbrp-budget-form.xlsx)) and a narrative budget justification (≤2 pages) - Optional: Up to 5 pages of supplemental materials (e.g., letters of support) **Additional notes:** - Applications must be submitted from the project lead’s account. - An institution’s EIN is required to create an account. - Late applications due to technical issues will not be accepted; applicants are advised to start early.
