Description
The Greenwall Foundation launched Bridging Bioethics Research & Policymaking in 2022 to strengthen connections between bioethics scholarship and policy decisions. The initiative supports bioethics researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders in developing new mechanisms—or adapting existing ones—to bring completed research into policymaking. It does not fund bioethics research itself.
The program welcomes varied research methodologies and creative, practical approaches targeting federal, state, or local policy. Examples include presenting actionable findings in accessible formats or scaling an evidence-based policy solution. Proposals should explain the relevance of the underlying scholarship and why the proposed mechanism can affect policy. Education and nonpartisan analyses are appropriate; direct or grassroots lobbying is not funded. Publishing in an academic journal alone is unlikely to be a supported mechanism.
