Research Ethics Education in the Balkans and Black Sea Countries

描述(由申请人提供)：巴尔干和黑海国家的研究人员很少被明确传授研究道德行为的国际标准，作为其正式科学或医学培训的一部分。因此，目前在其机构研究审查委员会(IRBs)任职的人中，很少有人具有正式的教育背景，能够充分理解、解决并领导其机构回应当今生物医学研究，最重要的是人类主题研究的伦理行为中涉及的复杂和微妙的问题。通过汇集西奈山医学院(MSSM)和贝尔格莱德大学医学院(UBSM)的资源，我们建议为该地区的临床医生、生物医学研究人员和其他专业人员创建一个教育计划，为他们提供知识和技能，使他们能够成为领导者，并带头发展研究伦理基础设施和法规。我们建议的培训将利用传统和创新的方法，包括面对面和远程学习研讨会来教授研究伦理。我们将专注于培养能力和培养值得信赖的研究人员应该具备的基本态度。我们将培训一批有能力成为其机构或国家的重要资源的个人。 我们期望他们继续以教师和领导者的身份为本国和机构的研究界服务，并在制定和实施确保研究合乎道德的机制方面发挥带头作用。因此，我们计划的广泛目标将是培养一批个人，成为了解、接受和表达国际生物医学研究界核心价值观的道德知情和敏感的领导者。在这个为期三年的教育计划结束时，学员将做好充分的准备，以便批判性地思考当今和未来国内和国际生物医学研究的复杂伦理问题。在这项为期五年的项目中，参与者将成为彼此及其所在地区的学者和资源社区。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Few researchers in the Balkans and Black Sea countries are explicitly taught the international standards for the ethical conduct of research as part of their formal scientific or medical training. Hence, few of those who currently serve on their institutional research review boards (IRBs) have the formal educational background to fully appreciate, address, and lead their institutions in responding to the complex and subtle issues involved in today's ethical conduct of biomedical research, and most importantly, human subject research. By pooling the combined resources of Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM) and the University of Belgrade School of Medicine (UBSM) we propose to create an educational program for clinicians, biomedical researchers and other professionals from this region that will provide them with the knowledge and skills to enable them to become leaders and spearhead the development of research ethics infrastructure and regulation. The training that we propose will utilize both traditional and innovative methods involving face-to-face and distance learning seminars to teach research ethics. We will focus on developing competencies and nurturing the essential attitudes that trustworthy researchers should have. We shall train a diverse group of individuals who are in positions to become important resources for their institutions or countries. We expect them to go on to serve the research communities in their home countries and institutions as teachers and as leaders in the development and implementation of mechanisms to assure the ethical conduct of research. The broad goal of our program will, therefore, be to train a pool of individuals to be ethically informed and sensitive leaders who understand, embrace, and express the core values of the international biomedical research community. At the end of this three year educational program, trainees will be well-prepared to think critically about today's and tomorrow's complex ethical issues of domestic and international biomedical research. Over the span of the five-year project the participants will become a community of scholars and resources for each other and their region.
