Limiting Language:

Only one applicant from a university or non-profit research institute will be considered in each application cycle. Institutions are expected to conduct an internal review and selection process, as the Foundation will not consider multiple letters of intent from a single institution. For purposes of this policy, the Foundation considers the parent university to be the relevant institution. Accordingly, a university with a law school, medical school, several teaching hospitals, and a faculty of arts and sciences may only submit one letter of intent in total. If a university system, such as a state-wide university system, comprises several universities, each university within the system may nominate one applicant.

Program Overview
The Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics is a career development award to enable early-career faculty members to carry out innovative bioethics research. The program is designed to support projects that address a significant bioethics problem and extend beyond current work in bioethics, while fostering a community of Scholars and Alums committed to advancing the field.

Each year, the Foundation selects approximately three Greenwall Faculty Scholars to receive 50 percent salary support for three years to pursue a defined research project and further develop their research program.

Scholars and Alums attend twice-yearly meetings, where they present their works in progress, receive feedback and mentoring from the Faculty Scholars Program Committee and other Scholars and Alums, and have an opportunity to cultivate collaborative relationships across institutions and disciplines. Third-year Scholars are expected to help plan these meetings. Program Alums remain actively engaged, providing mentorship to newer Scholars and creating a sustained network for professional development, collaboration, and scholarly exchange. In addition, all first-year Scholars participate in a philosophical bioethics seminar series, and other professional development opportunities may be offered through the Program.

The Program Committee oversees the Faculty Scholars Program, selects Scholars and recommends them for funding, and plays an active role in mentorship and professional development activities.

Summary 
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports strengthening country systems to detect, notify, and respond to outbreaks by applying time-bound, evidence-based frameworks, such as the 7-1-7 target, which aims to detect outbreaks within 7 days, notify within 1 day, and respond within 7 days. This target was selected to promote rapid containment and minimize health and economic impacts. 

Activities under this award will be conducted outside the United States and its territories. Building on previous outbreak experience and other international health emergencies, this NOFO advances American interests by reinforcing systems that protect both the United States and recipient nations. 

Activities focus on improving early detection of biological threats, timely notification across sectors and borders, and effective response to contain outbreaks before they spread, consistent with the Detect, Notify, Respond (D- N-R) framework. Efforts include strengthening surveillance, expanding laboratory readiness, enhancing information flows, and improving response operations to reduce economic effects and improve health. These activities emphasize burden sharing, accountability, and efficiency to ensure benefits to Americans at home and abroad, while helping recipient nations achieve long-term self-reliance and stability.

Summary 
This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) will enhance capacity to contain outbreaks through partnerships with Ministries of Health (MOHs), external stakeholders, and other governmental institutions. This NOFO prioritizes durable Global Health Security (GHS) programs to keep Americans safer, stronger, and more prosperous by improving public health globally. It applies lessons learned from recent significant public health events, including outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF), highly pathogenic strains of influenza, and the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As global leaders in strengthening GHS systems, the U.S. government (USG) will use updated frameworks to advance disease detection, notification, and response strategies. This NOFO’s main outcomes are:

• Use time-bound evidence based frameworks, such as the 7-1-7 framework, to detect and respond to outbreaks more quickly for diseases that threaten global health security and the health of Americans at home and abroad. 
• Support regional and country public health institutions to independently lead preparedness efforts and create resilient, durable, and locally owned health systems. 
• Enhance data systems, lab capacity, and local field epidemiology workforce to effectively combat disease threats of international significance.
