The Bioethics Bowl is an intercollegiate, academic competition among undergraduate students at accredited four-year institutions of higher education.
In late January or early February, the competing teams, judges, and moderators receive 15 case studies which represent controversial bioethical issues.
By 2017, the burden of supporting NUBC as a conference organized by undergraduates grew too much, when the Bioethics Bowl also almost collapsed.
In 2017, to keep something going, Richard Greene and Rachel Robinson of Weber State University in Ogden, UT, agreed to keep the Bioethics Bowl alone going.
In 2019, the Prindle Institute for Ethics in Greencastle, IN became an official sponsor of the Bioethics Bowl, hosting its web site, registration and other administrative details.
