The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Global Bioethics Mentorship Program is a one-year remote opportunity for project-focused mentorship for early-career bioethics researchers in low and middle income countries and territories (LMICs). 

The SNF Global Bioethics Mentorship Program pairs early-career researchers from LMICs with mentors who will be selected from the Hastings Center Fellows for focused work on a project to advance the researcher’s professional goals. Examples of the types of projects that are feasible within this one-year opportunity include: 

• Development of a manuscript and publication strategy for one or more articles based on the early-career researcher’s scholarship or findings 

• Planning and drafting of a research plan for a funding proposal 

• Development of a bioethics curriculum, digital product, or other educational or public program or resource

The SNF Global Bioethics Mentorship Program will also include activities to foster peer learning and community-building among early-career researchers and mentors.  All activities and mentoring sessions will be conducted in English. Early-career researchers will commit to monthly meetings with mentors concerning their projects, plus monthly sessions with peers and program staff. 

The Hastings Center for Bioethics will invite seven applicants to join the program in 2025-26.
