The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded The Hastings Center a challenge grant to support an endowment for a major new humanities research program. The $425,000 grant, to be matched by at least $1.275 million raised from private sources, will begin The Hastings Center Humanities Research Initiative, which aims to expand the Center’s core commitment to humanities-based scholarship in bioethics and to provide leadership in this area. This initiative will provide financing of a Senior Humanities Research Scholar Chair who will pursue research in bioethics and the humanities and advance the humanities work of fellow people at Hastings. The Chair will also create and direct a Humanities Scholar-in-Residence Program.
Do you think its right for a research program to get this much money, than feeding the poor and hungry, or donating it to food banks?
