Myanmar emerges from decades of isolation with much hope and support from the global and regional communities and as such, funds for health-related research is increasing to enhance the health status of the population. Ethical behavior and the review of healthcare-related research remains a worldwide concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Accordingly, our proposal holds an overall GOAL of enhancing sustainable research ethics capacity in Myanmar to meet the emerging research and health system evaluation demands of societies undergoing rapid transition. As such, our OBJECTIVES include: 1) enhance the professional development of a critical mass of individuals for them to become research ethics leaders; 2) the establishment of a sustainable diploma and master’s degree programs focused in research ethics at a degree- granting institution in Myanmar; and 3) the development of educational activities that strengthen local capacity in clinical and public health research ethics among scientists, health professionals and academics. To achieve these objectives we propose the following Specific Aims: 1) provide training to Myanmar academics with a 2- year blended training program that consists of onsite activities (2-week program at the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) and a 2-week program in at the University Medicine-1 (UM-1) in Myanmar) and enrollment in an online Masters of Science in Health Science Degree (30 credits) with a concentration in research ethics. We will also provide innovation training for the development of critical skills in communications and leadership, pedagogy, research design and statistics, manuscript and grant writing, and analysis of health systems. Training will also include opportunities for practicum experiences, such as development of research ethics courses, research on culturally-driven ethical practices, and participation in ethical review committees. Our second specific aim will involve a professional development program that will consist of 1) a structured Individual Development Plan; 2) an innovative mentoring experience that consists of a paired mentoring approach with core faculty members from the participating institutions from Myanmar, the US, and Australia, and 3) post-training activities that includes opportunities to teach in our intramural training programs and our online programs. To ensure institutional sustainability, our next Specific Aim calls for us to collaborate with the faculty at the University Medicine-1(UM-1) institution in Myanmar to develop blended diploma and master’s degree programs in research ethics. We will pursue an innovative approach to curricular design that will 1) draw upon several sources to include the learners, the subject matter specialists, and the values of society, and 2) use a continuous improvement model for curriculum change and improvement. Sustainability will be ensured by continuous collaboration between the institutions involved in this process and the potential offering of joint degree programs by UM-1 and UMB.

缅甸从数十年的孤立中走出来，带着来自全球和地区的许多希望和支持 因此，用于与健康相关的研究的资金正在增加，以改善 人口。道德行为和医疗保健相关研究的审查仍然是一个世界性的问题， 特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。因此，我们的提案的总体目标是加强 缅甸满足新兴研究和卫生系统评估的可持续研究伦理能力 正在快速转型的社会的需求。因此，我们的目标包括：1)加强 为他们成为研究道德带头人提供专业发展；2) 建立可持续的文凭和硕士学位课程，重点是研究伦理-学位- 缅甸的赠款机构；以及3)开展加强当地能力的教育活动 在科学家、卫生专业人员和学者中开展临床和公共卫生研究道德方面的培训。要实现 这些目标我们提出了以下具体目标：1)为缅甸学者提供培训2- 包括现场活动的年度混合培训计划(马里兰大学为期2周的计划 巴尔的摩大学(UMB)和缅甸医学大学(UM-1)为期两周的课程)，并在 在线健康科学硕士学位(30学分)，专注于研究伦理。 我们还将提供创新培训，以发展沟通和领导的关键技能， 教育学、研究设计和统计、手稿和补助金撰写，以及卫生系统分析。 培训还将包括实践经验的机会，如研究道德的发展 课程，对文化驱动的道德实践的研究，以及参与道德审查委员会。我们的 第二个具体目标将涉及职业发展计划，该计划将包括1)结构化的 个人发展计划；2)由结对辅导组成的创新辅导体验 与来自缅甸、美国和澳大利亚的参与机构的核心教员进行接触， 3)培训后活动，包括在我们的内部培训计划和我们的 在线节目。为了确保机构的可持续性，我们的下一个具体目标要求我们与 缅甸大学医学院(UM-1)的教员将开发混合文凭和硕士学位 研究伦理学学位课程。我们将推行一种创新的课程设计方法，以实现1) 利用几个来源，包括学习者、主题专家和社会价值观， 2)采用持续改进模式进行课程变革和改进。可持续性将是 通过参与此流程的机构与潜在产品之间的持续协作来确保 由UM-1和UMB联合提供的学位课程。
