虽然大量的文献详细说明了如何解决伦理问题并为传统的研究设计提供监督，但目前研究人员在进行超出这些明确界限的研究时，如何应对独特和新颖的挑战的指导很少。一个这样的例子是南北（南北）团队为基础的全球人口健康（GPH）研究。本文提出了一个伦理关系网络（NER）模型，可以让GPH研究人员更好地理解和解决出现在南北合作研究工作中的伦理问题。NER模型阐明了GPH研究中涉及的一些核心关系，并揭示了它所嵌入的道德，制度，社会和法律的过程的复杂环境。NER模型的效用是通过审查14个GPH研究团队，更详细地看两个关系-研究人员伦理委员会，和研究人员Funder的关系。本文认为，在正式的道德规则和程序的应用中，改善对话和灵活性可以导致以更符合道德的方式进行研究，因为它可以更好地解释影响研究人员选择和行动的众多声音和观点。
Although a substantial body of literature exists that details how to address ethical issues and provide oversight for traditional research study designs, there currently is very little guidance available to researchers on how to deal with the unique and novel challenges that arise when conducting research that goes outside of these well-defined boundaries. One such example is North-South (N-S) team-based global population health (GPH) research. This paper presents a Network of Ethical Relationships (NER) model which can allow GPH researchers better understand and resolve ethical issues that arise in N-S collaborative research efforts. The NER model elucidates some of the core relationships involved in GPH research and sheds light on the complex milieu of moral, institutional, societal and legal processes in which it is embedded. The utility of the NER model is examined by reviewing 14 GPH research teams, looking at two relationships in more detail - Researcher-Ethics Board, and Researcher-Funder relationships. The paper argues that improved dialogue and flexibility in the application of formal ethical rules and procedures can lead to research being conducted in a more ethical manner since it better accounts for the multitude of voices and perspectives influencing researchers' choices and actions.
