说明(由申请者提供)：南非研究伦理培训倡议(SARETI)的目标是建设非洲对卫生研究进行伦理审查的能力，并加强非洲实现和维持这一目标的机构培训能力。SARETI是一个综合性的、多学科的、总部设在非洲的卫生研究伦理学学位课程。为了实现这些目标，SARETI提供培训和支持计划。预计SARETI将有更多的学生在自筹资金的基础上注册模块或学位。这一强化和高级培训计划的核心包括：i)合作机构的模块课程工作；ii)与伦理审查委员会的实际工作；iii)通过生物伦理研究所参加在美国的生物伦理强化计划；以及iv)完成一篇论文/研究论文，主题与加强受训者所在机构的卫生研究伦理相关，从而提交给同行评审的期刊。SARETI支持计划将支持非洲教师的持续专业教育，并将支持培训计划的顶尖学员参加相关的卫生研究伦理会议。在该计划的第四年结束时，SARETI将安排第二次全非洲卫生研究伦理研讨会(AHRES)，让学员与他们的同行分享他们的学术工作和伦理审查经验，增加SARETI培训计划在非洲的影响和联网潜力，促进非洲在卫生研究伦理方面的交流，并加强非洲在该领域的话语权。14名SARETI硕士(研究伦理)毕业生和SARETI教员将通过建设研究伦理委员会的能力、培训研究伦理委员会成员和研究人员以及为非洲研究伦理学术的全球发展和形象做出贡献，为非洲适当的卫生研究和发展的伦理行为做出贡献。非核心福利包括伦理审查委员会远程学习培训计划，以及如果这项提议得到资助，请求为非洲的口腔健康专业人员提供补充资金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the South African Research Ethics Training Initiative (SARETI) are to build African capacity for the ethical review of health research and to strengthen Africa's institutional training capacity to achieve and sustain this aim. SARETI is a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, Africa-based degree program in health research ethics. To achieve these goals, SARETI offers training and support programs. The SARETI More students are expected to enrol for modules or degrees on a self-funded basis. The core of this intensive and advanced training program consists of i) modular coursework at the partner institutions, ii) practical work with ethics review committees, iii) attendance of an intensive US-based bioethics program through the Bioethics Institute, and iv) the completion of a dissertation / research paper on a topic of relevance to strengthening health research ethics at the trainee's home institution, leading to submission to a peer-reviewed journal. The SARETI Support Program will support continuous professional education of Africa-based faculty, and will support the top trainees of the training program to attend relevant health research ethics meetings. At the end of the 4th year of the program, SARETI will arrange the second Africa-wide Health Research Ethics Symposium (AHRES) to allow trainees to share their scholarly work and ethics review experiences with their peers, to increase the African impact and networking potentials of the SARETI training program, to facilitate African exchange in health research ethics and to strengthen Africa's voice in this field. The 14 SARETI Masters (Research Ethics) graduates and SARETI faculty will contribute to the ethical conduct of appropriate health research and development in Africa by building IRB capacity, by training IRB members and researchers, and by contributing to the global development and profile of African scholarship in research ethics. Non-core benefits include an Ethics Review Committee Training Program for distance learning, and a request for supplemental funding for oral health professionals in Africa should this proposal be funded.
