在他们的文章中，Fabi和Goldberg(2022)讨论了对种族不公正和基于种族伦理研究资金分配的人继续被排除的担忧，以及这如何影响知识生产以及解决美国人口健康优先事项的努力。虽然我们欢迎他们的及时分析，但我们希望提请注意针对低收入和中等收入国家(LMIC)的伦理研究资金的类似模式。例如，美国的几个大型资助机构，包括美国国立卫生研究院和陈·扎克伯格基金会等慈善组织，为LMIC的伦理研究提供资金。他们要么直接通过针对伦理的拨款，要么间接通过资助较大的科学研究拨款中的伦理部分来做到这一点。然而，这样的资金一次又一次地发放给研究所在国以外的国家的主要研究人员或研究团队。在非洲的卫生研究领域，这导致人们一再提醒人们殖民主义的持久影响(Sengupta 2021)。我们认为，在非洲大陆进行的生物伦理研究普遍存在类似的问题，存在三个相互关联的挑战。
In their article, Fabi and Goldberg (2022) discuss concerns of racial injustice and the continued exclusion of people—based on race—in ethics research funding allocation, and how that impacts knowledge production as well as efforts to address population health priorities in the United States. Whilst we welcome their timely analysis, we would like to draw attention to a similar pattern in ethics research funding targeting low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Several large funding bodies in the United States, including, for instance, the National Institutes of Health and philanthropic organizations such as the Chan Zuckerberg Foundation, fund ethics research in LMICs. They do this either directly through ethicsspecific grants or indirectly through funding ethics components of larger scientific research grants. Yet time and again, such funding is awarded to primary investigators or research teams in countries other than where the research is conducted. In the health research domain in Africa, this has led to repeated reminders of the enduring impact of coloniality (Sengupta 2021). We suggest that a similar problem prevails for bioethics research conducted on the African continent and that there are three interrelated challenges.
