以发展为导向的资助计划，如英国全球挑战研究基金（GCRF），为中低收入国家（LMIC）和高收入国家（HIC）研究人员之间的合作开辟了机会。特别是，用于医疗技术研究的资金已经在以前代表性不足的学科（如物理学和工程学）中有所增加。这些合作在促进中低收入国家的医疗保健方面具有相当大的潜力，但也可能给开展这些合作的研究人员带来挑战。主要挑战包括参与部门缺乏HIC/LMIC合作的传统，缺乏发展议程的经验，设计适合背景的技术和确保研究成果的长期可行性。本文利用作者在开放实验室仪器（OLI）项目中的经验作为聚焦透镜，反思了这些关键挑战。该项目是由GCRF资助的英国物理学家和坦桑尼亚工程师之间的合作，旨在开发一种开源的3D打印全自动实验室显微镜。该文件强调了学到的关键道德教训。
Development‐oriented funding schemes such as the UK Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) have opened up opportunities for collaborations between low‐middle income countries (LMICs) and high‐income country (HIC) researchers. In particular, funding for medical technology research has seen a rise in previously under‐represented disciplines such as physics and engineering. These collaborations have considerable potential to advance healthcare in LMICs, yet can pose challenges experienced to researchers undertaking these collaborations. Key challenges include a lack of tradition of HIC/LMIC collaborations within participating departments, lack of experience with development agendas, designing contextually‐appropriate technologies and ensuring long‐term viability of research outputs. This paper reflects on these key challenges, using the experiences of the authors on the Open Laboratory Instrumentation (OLI) project as a focalizing lens. This project was a GCRF‐funded collaboration between physicists in the UK and engineers in Tanzania to develop an open‐source, 3D‐printed, fully‐automated laboratory microscope. The paper highlights key ethics lessons learnt.
