PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The revised South African Research Ethics Training Initiative IV (SARETI IV) Masters in Social Science (Health Research Ethics) program, based at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, will foster advanced African capacity for the ethics review and implementation of health research, with a special focus on strengthening legal capacity on research ethics committees (RECs). Health research on the continent has increased exponentially alongside a complex and evolving legal framework. However, curricula in Africa have not focused on the core legal framework governing health research ethics nor related ancillary and novel legal issues. Ethics guidelines in several African countries require a legal member on RECs – yet few are capacitated to meet the expansive demands of this role. These gaps will be addressed in SARETI IV through focused law modules within a multi-disciplinary Masters degree with funding for 20–25 students over the 5-year period. Additional self-funded students will enroll for modules or degrees. This holistic training program comprises: (1) face-to-face modular coursework; (2) practical work with local RECs, and leading NIH-funded organizations (the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa (CAPRISA) and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC)); (3) an expanded research project on a health research ethics topic relevant to the student's home institution or country, leading to publication of a peer- reviewed paper and supported through the program’s expanded social sciences and empirical bioethics offerings; (4) participation in skills development workshops focused on critical analysis, writing and presentation skills; and (5) structured mentoring support through individual coaching, a virtual mentorship community and peer support. Students will complete an annual capstone assessment to evaluate their assimilation of practical and theoretical knowledge through a ‘mock’ REC activity. As a leadership incentive, the top student from every academic year will (1) receive a scholarship to attend the FIC/NIH SARETI PhD-hosted Africa-wide Health Research Ethics Symposium (AHRES); (2) be appointed as an honorary REC member for a year to advance their review capacity; and (3) receive additional career coaching. The SARETI graduates and faculty will contribute to the ethical conduct of appropriate health research and development in Africa by building REC capacity, training legal REC members, developing social science expertise for research ethics questions, and by promoting the global development and profile of African research ethics scholarship.

项目总结/摘要 修订后的南非研究伦理培训倡议四（SARETI四）硕士社会科学（健康） 夸祖鲁-纳塔尔大学的研究伦理）项目将培养非洲先进的能力， 卫生研究的伦理审查和实施，特别注重加强以下方面的法律的能力： 研究伦理委员会（RECs）。非洲大陆的健康研究呈指数级增长， 复杂和不断演变的法律的框架。然而，非洲的课程并没有侧重于核心法律的框架 管理健康研究伦理或相关的辅助和新的法律的问题。几个非洲国家的道德准则 一些国家要求在区域经济共同体中有一个法律的成员，但很少有国家有能力满足这一广泛的要求 作用这些差距将在SARETI IV中通过多学科硕士课程中的重点法律模块来解决 在5年期间为20-25名学生提供资助。额外的自费学生将报名参加 模块或学位。 这一整体培训方案包括：（1）面对面的模块课程;（2）与当地区域经济共同体的实际工作， 和主要的NIH资助组织（南非艾滋病研究计划中心 （CAPRISA）和人类科学研究理事会（HSRC））;（3）一个关于健康的扩大研究项目 与学生的家乡机构或国家相关的研究伦理主题，导致同行发表- 审查文件，并通过该计划的扩大社会科学和经验生物伦理学的支持 （4）参加侧重于批判性分析、写作和演讲的技能发展讲习班 技能;以及（5）通过个人辅导、虚拟辅导社区和 同伴支持 学生将完成年度顶点评估，以评估他们的实际和理论的同化 通过“模拟”REC活动获得知识。作为一种领导激励，每学年的尖子生 将（1）获得奖学金参加FIC/NIH SARETI博士主办的非洲范围内的健康研究伦理 （2）被任命为区域环境委员会荣誉成员，任期一年，以提高其审查能力; （3）接受额外的职业指导。 SARETI的毕业生和教师将有助于适当的健康研究的道德行为， 通过建设区域经济共同体的能力、培训区域经济共同体的法律的成员、发展社会科学 研究伦理问题的专门知识，并促进非洲研究的全球发展和形象， 伦理学奖学金
