OSCAR M RUEBHAUSEN VISITING PROFESSORSHIP
Oscar M Ruebhausen, elected a Member and Director of The Foundation in 1950, was entrusted by Frank Greenwall in 1984 with the responsibility of overseeing the transition from a family foundation to an independent philanthropy. Mr. Ruebhausen served as Chairman from 1983 to 1991, and as Chair Emeritus until his death in 2004, after which the Visiting Professorship was established in his memory.
The program enables one of the nation's academic bioethics centers to host a visiting professor for three days during which the honoree is expected to deliver a major address and to meet with undergraduate and graduate students, fellows and other trainees, and faculty.
The Foundation expects host institutions (applicants for the grant) to select individuals willing to address an issue on which they have not previously written or spoken. A grant of $25,000 provides for an honorarium adequate to justify the preparation time for such an effort and covers all of the associated administrative expenses: travel (domestic or international), lodging, promotion, and staff support.
