Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Global Bioethics Program Pilot
Principal Investigator: Vardit Ravitsky
Funder: Stravros Niarchos Foundation (SNF)
Start date: January 2025
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Global Bioethics Program is a two-year pilot initiative connecting Hastings Center Fellows as mentors with early-career bioethicists from low-resource regions around the world.
A committee of Fellows will co-lead the effort to competitively select both the early-career bioethicists and their prospective mentors. To ensure that mentors embrace their roles with cultural humility and care and recognize opportunities to learn from mentees, Hastings research scholars and Fellows with extensive expertise in mentorship will develop and deliver customized mentorship training to the competitively selected mentors.
A long-term goal of the program is to refine the customized mentorship training curriculum into a “gold standard” to be shared broadly in the bioethics community, filling a global gap in the field.
