The Future of Bioethics

This project seeks to explore how shifting federal priorities are reshaping bioethics. Through document analysis, surveys, and interviews, it aims to examine these changes and their actual and anticipated impacts on the field. Prof. Lee and colleagues aim to produce a map of defunded or deprioritized domains and offer empirically grounded insights into areas of vulnerability and adaptation for ensuring ethical oversight, scholarship, and training. Through workshops with bioethics leaders, practitioners, scholars, and trainees, the research team seeks to co-create strategies to fortify bioethics in a context of significant change.
