Description
The Greenwall Foundation’s Making a Difference Grants program funds original research that addresses urgent and unresolved bioethics issues in clinical care, biomedical research, or public health policy and practice. The program seeks projects with tangible, practical impact that advance bioethics as integral to decision-making in healthcare, policy, and research. Proposals may be empirical, conceptual, or normative, but must go beyond mere analysis to offer actionable recommendations or interventions. The Foundation encourages broad, inclusive bioethics scholarship and values projects that engage diverse perspectives and stakeholders, including those outside academia. Research teams often include both bioethics scholars and individuals with direct experience of the ethical dilemma.
