DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funds to continue the Johns Hopkins-Fogarty African bioethics training program. Our program started four years ago. Since then, we have provided one-year bioethics and research ethics training to twelve African professionals and funded two workshops with the African Malaria Network Trust (AMANET). Trainees have returned to Africa to positions of increased responsibility and have provided ethics guidance to local, national, and international bodies. If funded again, we will train 20 additional African professionals over the next four years at the Johns Hopkins Bioethics Institute, the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, and the NIH Department of Clinical Bioethics. Twelve trainees will complete the one-year program, spending the first six months at Johns Hopkins in an intensive program of bioethics and research methodology courses, IRB observations, a weekly fellows' seminar, other seminars at JHU and the NIH; the Intensive Bioethics Course at Georgetown, serving as teaching assistants in the JHU summer international ethics course and meeting weekly with advisors. While at JHU, each trainee will write a 15-20 page practicum proposal including objectives, literature, methods, budget, and timeline. The second six months is spent completing an original, mentored, funded practicum in their home countries. The practicum focuses on 1-2 of the program's four core competencies: 1) theory and principles; 2) training in research ethics; 3) ethics review boards; and 4) empirical research on research ethics. Two additional trainees per year will complete our new one-month program, taking two intensive one-week courses, special seminars, and visiting OHRP, FDA, and the NIH, and interacting with trainees from three other Fogarty programs. Core program faculty are from the JHU Bioethics Institute and School of Public Health. Five African faculty have long affiliations with our program, and three are alumni of this program. The broader environment housing our program is rich. The JHU Bioethics Institute has ongoing doctoral and postdoctoral programs and a multi-million dollar portfolio of research. The JHU School of Public Health conducts more international research than any other such school in the country. Our School has numerous coveted international training programs, including several from Fogarty. If funded, we will continue to provide rigorous and practical training in research ethics to extraordinary African professionals, build on our successes, use our experience to make our program even better, and continue to mentor and facilitate, as oossible, the bioethics orofessional develooment of both alumni and future trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求资金继续约翰霍普金斯-福格蒂非洲生物伦理学培训计划。我们的项目始于四年前。自那时以来，我们为12名非洲专业人员提供了为期一年的生物伦理和研究伦理培训，并与非洲疟疾网络信托基金（AMANET）一起资助了两个讲习班。受训人员已返回非洲担任责任更大的职位，并向地方、国家和国际机构提供道德操守指导。如果再次获得资助，我们将在未来四年内在约翰霍普金斯生物伦理学研究所、约翰霍普金斯公共卫生学院和国家卫生研究院临床生物伦理学系再培训20名非洲专业人员。12名受训人员将完成为期一年的课程，前六个月在约翰霍普金斯参加生物伦理学和研究方法学课程的强化课程，IRB观察，每周一次的研究员研讨会，JHU和NIH的其他研讨会;乔治敦的强化生物伦理学课程，担任JHU夏季国际伦理学课程的助教，每周与顾问会面。在JHU期间，每位学员将撰写一份15-20页的实习计划书，包括目标、文献、方法、预算和时间轴。第二个六个月是在他们的祖国完成一个原始的，指导的，资助的实习。该实习侧重于该计划的四个核心能力中的1-2个：1）理论和原则; 2）研究伦理培训; 3）伦理审查委员会;和4）研究伦理的实证研究。每年另外两名学员将完成我们新的为期一个月的计划，参加两个为期一周的强化课程，特别研讨会，访问OHRP，FDA和NIH，并与其他三个福格蒂计划的学员互动。核心课程教师来自JHU生物伦理研究所和公共卫生学院。五名非洲教师与我们的计划有长期的联系，其中三名是该计划的校友。更广泛的环境住房我们的计划是丰富的。JHU生物伦理研究所拥有正在进行的博士和博士后项目以及数百万美元的研究组合。公共卫生的JHU学校进行更多的国际研究比任何其他这样的学校在该国。我们的学校有许多令人垂涎的国际培训计划，包括来自福格蒂几个。如果获得资助，我们将继续为非洲杰出的专业人士提供严格和实用的研究伦理培训，在我们的成功基础上，利用我们的经验使我们的计划更好，并继续指导和促进校友和未来学员的生物伦理学或专业发展。
