Endowment for a Senior Humanities Research Scholar and travel costs for visiting scholars as part of The Hastings Center Humanities Research Initiative.

We seek $500,000 from the NEH, to be matched by $1.5 million from private sources, to launch The Hastings Center Humanities Research Initiative. This $2 million initiative will underwrite the endowment of a Senior Humanities Research Scholar Chair who will (1) pursue research in bioethics and the humanities, (2) advance the humanities work of fellow scholars at Hastings, and (3) create and direct a Humanities Scholar-in-Residence Program. The aim of the Humanities Research Initiative is to enlarge and deepen the Center’s core commitment to humanities-based scholarship in bioethics and to nurturing leadership in this area.
