描述（由申请人提供）： 基于其成功的基于网络的远程学习生物伦理学硕士项目的模式，奥尔巴尼医学院/联合大学研究生院（AMC/GCUU）将与维尔纽斯大学（立陶宛）医学史和伦理学系合作，开发并提供研究生水平的在线和现场高级证书课程“研究伦理学电子教育：中欧和东欧”。其目的是建设中欧和东欧 (CEE) 的研究伦理能力。接下来，两批 15 名 CEE 学生将完成为期 16 个月的 7 门课程（4 门在线课程和 3 门在维尔纽斯大学提供的现场短期课程）证书课程，同时几乎完全留在自己的所在院校。该合作伙伴关系将创建一个虚拟基础设施来支持两批研究伦理学学生，为中东欧研究伦理学提供公共在线资源，并将维尔纽斯大学发展成为中东欧国际生物伦理学和研究伦理学卓越中心。在此过程中，该合作伙伴关系将培训和指导来自中东欧的教师，以便在资助期结束后继续该在线项目。在获得高级证书的 30 名学生中，有 5 名学生将获得奖学金，继续完成 AMC-GCUU 的在线生物伦理学硕士学位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building on the model of its successful Web-based distance learning Masters in Bioethics Program, The Albany Medical College/Graduate College of Union University (AMC/GCUU), in partnership with the Dept. of Medical History and Ethics of Vilnius University (Lithuania), will develop and deliver a graduate level on-line and on-site advanced certificate program, "E-Education in Research Ethics: Central and Eastern Europe." Its purpose is to build capacity in research ethics in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In sequence, two cohorts of 15 CEE students will complete the 16-month, 7 courses (4 on-line courses and 3 on-site, short courses given at Vilnius Univ.) certificate program while remaining almost entirely in their home institutions. The partnership will create a virtual infrastructure to support the two cohorts of research ethics students, provide public on-line resources on research ethics for CEE, and develop Vilnius University as a CEE center of excellence in international bioethics and research ethics. In the process, the partnership will train and mentor faculty from CEE to continue this on-line program when the grant period is ended. Of the 30 students receiving the advanced certificate, five will be offered a scholarship to go on to complete the on-line Masters in Bioethics from AMC-GCUU.
