Grants Available for Biomedical Ethics Research
Posted 9/29/2005
The Donaghue Initiative in Biomedical and Behavioral Research Ethics at Yale University invites grant applications for research projects exploring the ethics of research on human subjects.
The Initiative was established within the Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics in 2003 to promote such scholarship and to disseminate new and useful knowledge for the enhancement of policy and practice.
Grants of up to $10,000 are available for investigators to study a specific ethical problem in the conduct of research on human subjects or the institutional review of human subject research proposals. These grants are available to fund entire projects, or they can be used to add an ethical analysis component to an existing biomedical or behavioral research study.
Interested applicants should send a CV and a statement of interest, not exceeding two pages, which includes:
Preference will be given to proposals that emphasize analytical methodology, as well as to those that relate to the work of any of the working research groups at the Center for Bioethics, descriptions of which can be found at www.yale.edu/bioethics. Preference will be given to projects that are relevant to research conducted in Connecticut, research conducted by Connecticut-based researchers, or research reviewed by Connecticut IRBs.
There will be two deadlines for completed research proposals. For full feedback on your initial project description, please send it at least three weeks in advance of deadlines.
Deadline 1: November 15, 2005
Deadline 2: February 1, 2006
Electronic communication is preferred. Please send application materials and any questions to:

Interested applicants should send a CV and a statement of interest, not exceeding two pages, which includes:
- brief background about the relevance of the proposal to the protection of human subjects,
- a clear statement of the research question(s) you are posing,
- a description of the methodology you will use, both to conduct the study and to provide an ethical analysis of the results of the study. To help with this last item, you should consider working in consultation with a bioethicist. The Yale program will be willing to assist you in finding someone qualified.
