The COVID-19 crisis demands that policy-makers, researchers, health and social care workers, and members of the public address unprecedented ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. Resolving these is hard, and it is risky. The complexity and speed of ethical challenges are leading to harms-some inevitable, some avoidable-on a significant scale. The main aim of the Ethics Accelerator (EA) is to harness and mobilise existing UK ethics research expertise to bear on these multiple, ongoing ethical challenges. The EA will rapidly provide evidence, guidance and critical analysis to decision- makers, helping to improve decision-making over the evolving pandemic response. A second aim is to enable systematic public deliberation around key ethical challenges. A third aim is to identify strategies to embed ethics at the core of future epidemic preparedness. The EA will leverage and promote a broad network of UK and international researchers to create flexible Taskforces that deliver rapid guidance and responsive advice to leadership in government, science, medicine, and public health. It will establish virtual fora for public discussion, deliberation and information about arising ethical challenges. In coordinating and focusing existing national investments in ethics research, the EA adds significant value and scales up the potential impacts of ethics research in science, medicine, policy and society. Primary outputs will be rapid research reviews; policy guidance; commissioned research; a broad peer review body; and stakeholder engagements. Main outcomes will be decision-making that is informed by ethics expertise, and is more transparent and accountable, thereby improving public trust.

COVID-19 危机要求政策制定者、研究人员、卫生和社会护理工作者以及公众每天应对前所未有的道德困境。解决这些问题是困难的，而且是有风险的。道德挑战的复杂性和速度正在导致大规模的伤害——有些是不可避免的，有些是可以避免的。道德加速器（EA）的主要目标是利用和动员英国现有的道德研究专业知识来应对这些多重的、持续的道德挑战。 EA 将迅速向决策者提供证据、指导和批判性分析，帮助改进针对不断变化的大流行应对措施的决策。第二个目标是围绕关键的道德挑战进行系统的公共审议。第三个目标是确定将道德纳入未来流行病防范核心的策略。 EA 将利用和促进英国和国际研究人员的广泛网络，创建灵活的工作组，为政府、科学、医学和公共卫生领域的领导层提供快速指导和响应建议。它将建立虚拟论坛，供公众讨论、审议和提供有关出现的道德挑战的信息。在协调和集中现有的国家伦理研究投资方面，EA 增加了重大价值，并扩大了伦理研究在科学、医学、政策和社会方面的潜在影响。主要产出将是快速研究审查；政策指导；委托研究；广泛的同行评审机构；和利益相关者的参与。主要成果将是基于道德专业知识的决策，更加透明和负责任，从而提高公众信任。
