PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This initiative seeks to develop and implement a new Master of Research Ethics Studies (MORES) program at the University of Malaya (UM) in Kuala Lumpur. As the first bioethics-related Master's program in Malaysia, MORES will be developed and sustained by leveraging the collective strengths of Johns Hopkins University, Berman Institute of Bioethics (JHU) and UM program faculty who are national and international experts in bioethics, medicine, public health, law, science and education. The MORES program is directly responsive to significant increases in the conduct of international health research, including collaborative clinical trials, in Malaysia and the region. These research trends in part reflect the fact that Malaysia – a middle-income country of more than 30 million people – is facing a “triple burden” of non-communicable diseases, communicable diseases and injuries. Being a multicultural, multilingual and multi-religious (majority Islamic) country, additional layers of ethical complexity for research and researchers are ever-present and in need of concerted attention. The JHU-UM collaboration will lead to the development of a regional hub for research ethics training and capacity development at a premier public university that is responsive to these needs as well as the significant gaps in both researcher and Institutional Review Board research ethics oversight capacity in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Specifically, over a period of five years we will: 1) engage with diverse stakeholders at UM, nationally and regionally in developing the MORES program to support a regional network for research ethics, 2) increase UM faculty capacity for high quality research ethics education and scholarship through JHU-UM faculty partnerships and focused faculty professional development, 3) establish and sustain a robust 12-month Master of Research Ethics Studies degree program at UM and provide funded research ethics Master's training under the program for 40 emerging leaders from Malaysia and the region, and 4) create and curate several shareable, durable resources that enhance research ethics training regionally and globally. MORES trainees will be able to engage thoughtfully and skillfully with a wide range of ethics challenges in international biomedical and social science research, and contribute to the enhancement of ethics policies, training programs and practices in Malaysia and the region. They will be equipped to lead and improve IRBs, help raise national and institutional research ethics standards and awareness, and teach others within their home institutions and beyond. MORES will also help to encourage growth of scholarship amongst faculty and trainees on diverse topics in research ethics to address longstanding and emerging research ethics challenges. In sum, we propose to create a model curriculum and regional hub for research ethics capacity development in Malaysia and Southeast Asia that embraces locally tailored content, collaboration and resource sharing, as well as knowledge and skills development for faculty and trainees who will become part of the next generation of leaders in research ethics.

项目总结/摘要 该计划旨在开发和实施一个新的研究伦理学硕士课程（MORES） 在吉隆坡的马来亚大学（UM）。作为马来西亚第一个与生物伦理学相关的硕士课程， MORES将通过利用约翰霍普金斯大学的集体优势来发展和维持， 伯曼生物伦理学研究所（JHU）和UM计划教师谁是国家和国际专家， 生物伦理学、医学、公共卫生、法律、科学和教育。MORES计划直接响应 国际卫生研究，包括合作临床试验， 马来西亚和该地区。这些研究趋势在一定程度上反映了这样一个事实，即马来西亚-一个中等收入国家 超过3000万人-正面临着非传染性疾病，传染性疾病， 疾病和伤害。作为一个多文化、多语言和多宗教（多数为伊斯兰教）的国家， 研究和研究人员的伦理复杂性始终存在，需要协调一致的关注。 JHU-UM合作将促进研究道德培训区域中心的发展， 在一所一流的公立大学进行能力建设，以满足这些需求， 马来西亚研究人员和机构审查委员会研究伦理监督能力的差距， 东南亚具体而言，在五年内，我们将：1）与UM的不同利益相关者接触， 在国家和地区范围内制定MORES计划，以支持研究伦理的区域网络， 2)通过JHU-UM提高UM教师的高质量研究伦理教育和奖学金能力 教师伙伴关系和重点教师专业发展，3）建立和维持一个强大的12个月 研究伦理学硕士学位课程在UM和提供资助的研究伦理硕士 根据该计划为来自马来西亚和该地区的40名新兴领导人提供培训，以及4）创建和策划 一些可共享的、持久的资源，加强区域和全球的研究伦理培训。习俗 学员将能够深思熟虑，熟练地参与国际上广泛的道德挑战。 生物医学和社会科学研究，并有助于加强道德政策，培训 在马来西亚和该地区的计划和做法。他们将有能力领导和改善IRB，帮助提高 国家和机构的研究伦理标准和意识，并在家中教授他人 机构及以外。MORES还将有助于鼓励教师之间的奖学金增长， 研究伦理学的各种主题，以解决长期和新兴的研究伦理学 挑战总之，我们建议创建一个示范课程和区域中心，以提高研究伦理能力 在马来西亚和东南亚的发展，包括当地定制的内容，合作和资源 分享，以及知识和技能发展的教师和学员谁将成为下一个 研究伦理的领导者。
