The Greenwall Fellowship in Bioethics is a competitive two-year program administered by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) and supported by the Greenwall Foundation. It is designed for early-career academic professionals focused on bioethics in clinical care, biomedical research, public health, or public policy. Fellows are assigned to a board within the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, where they actively participate in evidence-based healthcare and public health studies, policy discussions, and committee work. The experience includes mentorship from NAM members, engagement with national experts and policymakers, and opportunities to contribute to influential reports and policy recommendations. The fellowship aims to cultivate future leaders in bioethics who can bridge research, policy, and practice.
