Form 990, Part III, Line 4d In 2021, the suspension of our residential visiting scholar program continued due to Covid-19. We launched two important virtual programs. The Sadler Scholars are a select group of early-career scholars with research interests in bioethics who are from racial or ethnic groups underrepresented in disciplines relevant to bioethics. Admission is by application. In 2021, we invited the inaugural cohort of six Sadler Scholars. Five were doctoral students and one was a surgical resident. Activities supporting professional development and peer networking included work-in-progress sessions, workshops, one on one consultations, and invitations to special events. This program continues in 2022. We also created a work-in-progress speaker series for invited speakers, which started in September 2021 and continued into 2022. We also began internal discussions of different approaches to residential visiting scholar opportunities once The Hastings Center was able to safely reopen and host visitors.
