Program Summary Biomedical research has been increasing exponentially in the last few decades, requiring a parallel growth in research ethics capacity. Low Middle Income Countries [LMIC] face striking health care issues due to socioeconomic, cultural, religious, and political turmoil, and need better research to find solutions for those issues. Pakistan, the fifth largest country of the world by population, is trying to increase research capacity for health care issues affecting local populations mandating a supporting effort to build research ethics resources. The proposed program is one such effort. Enabling Ethical Research (EnablER): A Capacity Building Program in Pakistan, the planned project, will have three main aims; 1) Develop a curriculum for two-year advanced level Master of Bioethics program with special emphasis on Research Ethics, 2) Deliver a two- year advanced level Master of Bioethics program, and 3) Conduct a needs-assessment of Research Ethics and Bioethics in leading academic centres of Pakistan through a mixed method approach. This advanced level Master program is for mid-career professionals from different disciplines enabling them to become leaders in the field capable of spearheading similar programs in their own institutions and carrying out high-quality research on the contextual ethical issues. The successful implementation of this program is expected to translate into improving the overall quality/standards of Bioethics in the four domains namely; research ethics, clinical ethics, public health ethics, and organizational ethics, with research being integrated in each domain. The program will be offered on a part-time basis to health professionals, researchers, pharmacists, physiotherapists, hospital administrators, in addition to health ministry officials and policy makers, lawyers, medical journalists, social scientists, philosophers among others, residing in Pakistan. Additionally, the proposal includes a country- wide mapping exercise of research ethics-related capacity in the country. This is expected to provide information on the manpower needs, and ethics infrastructure of institutions, which may be helpful for policy making, resource allocation, and planning of similar training programs. 1

计划概要 过去几十年来，生物医学研究呈指数级增长，需要 研究伦理能力的平行增长。中低收入国家 [LMIC] 面临打击 由于社会经济、文化、宗教和政治动荡而导致的医疗保健问题和需求 更好的研究来找到这些问题的解决方案。巴基斯坦，世界第五大国 按人口计算，正在努力提高影响当地的医疗保健问题的研究能力 人们要求支持努力建立研究伦理资源。拟议的 计划就是这样的努力之一。 促进伦理研究（EnablER）：巴基斯坦的一项能力建设计划， 计划的项目将有三个主要目标； 1）制定两年高级课程 生物伦理学硕士课程，特别强调研究伦理学，2）提供两个- 年高级生物伦理学硕士课程，以及 3) 进行需求评估 通过混合的方式在巴基斯坦领先的学术中心研究伦理学和生物伦理学 方法方法。 这个高级硕士课程适合来自不同国家的职业中期专业人士 学科使他们能够成为该领域的领导者，能够带头开展类似的工作 在自己的机构中开展项目，并就背景进行高质量的研究 道德问题。该计划的成功实施预计将转化为 提高四个领域的生物伦理学整体质量/标准：研究 伦理学、临床伦理学、公共卫生伦理学和组织伦理学，研究正在 融入各个领域。该计划将以非全日制方式提供，以促进健康 专业人士、研究人员、药剂师、物理治疗师、医院管理人员，此外 卫生部官员和政策制定者、律师、医学记者、社会科学家， 居住在巴基斯坦的哲学家等。此外，该提案还包括一个国家—— 对该国研究伦理相关能力进行广泛摸底。预计这将 提供有关人力需求和机构道德基础设施的信息， 可能有助于政策制定、资源分配和类似培训的规划 程序。 1
