Greenwall Foundation Faculty Scholars Program
Greenwall Foundation Faculty ScholarsTo: Chairs, Departments in the Biological Sciences and Social Sciences
From: Heather Daniels, Graduate School
Date: September 5, 2008
Subject: Greenwall Foundation Faculty Scholars Program
Deadlines:
Applications are due for internal review at 4:30 pm, Friday, October 10.
Project Description:
The Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program is a career development program that enables junior faculty members to carry out original research on policy and moral dilemmas at the intersection of ethics and the life sciences. To maximize Scholars' development, three years of support are provided, requiring a 50% time commitment (carefully monitored) in each of the three years.
Priority will be given to applicants who are below the rank of Associate Professor, who have not received a comparable career development award, and whose work will have an impact on public policy or clinical practice. Within this group, priority will be given to applicants whose research addresses innovative and emerging topics. Lower priority will be given to applicants who are working on institutional change, educational reform, or primarily theoretical research. Applicants who propose to carry out a conceptual or theoretical analysis should specify how such work will lead to changes in public policy or clinical practice.
Eligibility:
UW-Madison may submit one proposal. The Graduate School will convene an ad hoc review committee to review the proposals internally and select the project to be forwarded.
• Junior faculty members holding at least a 60% appointment
