List of bioethics centers and institutes

Bioethics research, education, and service provision have, since the 1970s, been focused in research centers or Research institutes. While the founding centers of bioethics scholarship are North American, notably The Hastings Center and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics in the US, over subsequent decades many others such centers have emerged globally. Note that some of these centers have also been involved in hosting scholarly and professional journals (List of bioethics journals) and participating in bioethics education (List of masters programs in bioethics, List of doctoral programs in bioethics).
