Description
This grant initiative from the Greenwall Foundation is designed to bridge the gap between completed bioethics research and real-world policymaking. Rather than funding new research, it supports the development, adaptation, or improvement of mechanisms that translate existing bioethics findings into policy impact at the federal, state, or local level. The goal is to help decision-makers navigate complex ethical challenges in health care, science, and technology by making bioethics insights more accessible and actionable.
Projects might include creating digestible summaries of bioethics research for policymakers, scaling up evidence-based policy solutions, or other innovative approaches (excluding academic journal publications). The Foundation encourages partnerships with policymakers and non-academic stakeholders and values proposals from diverse teams with relevant expertise.
