The Hastings Center mission Founded in 1969 The Hastings Center is the longest-serving independent, nonpartisan bioethics research institute in the world. The Hastings Center's mission is to address fundamental ethical issues in health, health care, life sciences research and the environment that affect individuals, communities, and societies. We serve the bioethics community and the public at large. Hastings does original research, publishes two journals -- Hastings Center Report and Ethics & Human Research -- and Hastings Bioethics Forum blog, has a visiting scholar program, and offers public lectures and seminars. Scholarship Scholarship focuses on five program areas where national and global communities face serious challenges and where bioethics can help. Children and Families Aging, Chronic Conditions, and End of Life Health and Health Care Science and the Self Humans and Nature Unique process Hastings uses a research process allows for informed dialogue among intentionally diverse views. A classic Hastings Center project addresses important, unanswered questions and purposely convenes people who are likely to hold diverse views on that question. Hastings staff are expert in facilitating frank conversations. Our approach is fairly well-specified, yet at the same time, it is a free-flowing process that our scholars adapt for each project. Revenue Research grants, income from a modest reserve fund and generous donations support the Hastings' work. Location The Hastings Center is housed at "Woodlawn," a mid-19th century estate house on the Hudson River in Garrison, New York.
