Please let us know if you have any questions!

NEW-Young Scholars Award in Perinatal Bioethics


In collaboration with the ASBH, the March of Dimes is pleased to announce
the creation of an annual Young Scholars Award in Perinatal Bioethics. To
be eligible for this award, applicants must be early in their career
development, including those who are actively enrolled in graduate school,
post-doctoral programs or no higher in their career achievement than the
assistant professorship level.


Applicants are invited to submit proposals on the topic of perinatal ethics
in any of the submission categories offered in the ASBH Call for Proposals.
Proposals about pregnancy, birth, lactation, prenatal causes of disability,
neonatal decision-making, etc. on perinatal issues will be considered.
Proposals must be submitted in the ASBH Call for Proposals on the ASBH Web
site no later than March 2, 2009. From those submitted abstracts, a select
group of applicants will then be invited to submit a full paper for review
by the March of Dimes/ASBH review committee. The award will be presented at
the ASBH Annual Meeting in October to the applicant whose paper was
selected to be of the highest quality and intellectual rigor among the
submitted papers.


The award winner will be invited to present his/her paper at a plenary
session at the ASBH Annual Meeting, which will feature an invited lecture
by a distinguished scholar from the field of perinatal ethics. For further
information concerning this award, please contact Alison Saylor at
