Establishing a Masters Program in Research Ethics at University of Belgrade School of Medicine

随着越来越多的生物医学研究试验在塞尔维亚进行，塞尔维亚机构需要 建立研究伦理方面的专业知识。该项目旨在通过支持教师来满足这一需求 贝尔格莱德大学医学院(UBSM)成员，塞尔维亚领先的 生物医学研究，开发“研究伦理学”的硕士学位课程。首先，该项目将有所帮助 准备一个核心教员团队，带头建立硕士课程。这些教职员工 需要在之前的基本培训的基础上，发展这一学科的高级知识和技能 物质。他们还需要获得研究伦理方面的硕士学位，才能成为值得信赖的硕士领导者 学位课程。为了实现这一目标，我们的计划将提供硕士学位培训和导师 并指导他们建立自己的硕士学位。UBSM大师计划还将提供 对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、黑山和马其顿等国的人进行研究伦理教育 那里也讲塞尔维亚语和克罗地亚语。 UBSM教职员工，经过培训、指导和重要的学术证书准备，将 然后能够为来自西巴尔干的其他人提供硕士学位培训。UBSM培训将 使未来的学生能够发展必要的知识和技能，以提供研究综述、教育、 并确保符合动物和人类主体道德行为的国际标准 在他们的家乡机构进行研究。 在过去的五年里，来自西奈山伊坎医学院(ISMMS)的一个教职员工团队， 与其合作伙伴UBSM一起，一直在进行Fogarty国际中心NIH培训计划 在巴尔干和黑海地区提供证书级别的基础研究伦理教育。ISMMS是一种 美国领先的医疗机构，目前在其生物医学研究资金方面排名第13。参与 ISMMS的教职员工拥有丰富的临床和生物伦理学研究经验。他们有 有丰富的人类和动物研究评论经验，是道德行为教学的领导者 研究、研究伦理、医学伦理和研究方法。 UBSM硕士课程将建立在我们成功的Fogarty证书计划的基础上。这个计划 由两个关键要素组成：(A)指导UBSM硕士项目教员和(B)支持他们的 制定和实施可持续研究伦理学硕士课程。教员 发展将包括：使教师能够完成研究伦理学硕士学位，提供 技能培训、合作教学经验、实践经验和研究评审、咨询和指导 贯穿于课程开发和实施的整个过程。硕士研究生的继续教育 项目教员将在可行的情况下使用远程学习技术。

With increasing numbers of biomedical research trials being conducted in Serbia, Serbian institutions need to build expertise in research ethics. This project is designed to meet that need by supporting faculty members at the University of Belgrade School of Medicine (UBSM), the leading Serbian institution for biomedical research, to develop a Masters degree program in “Research Ethics.” First, the project will help prepare a core faculty group to take the lead in establishing the Masters program. These faculty members need to build upon their prior basic training and develop advanced knowledge and skills in this subject matter. They also need to earn Masters degrees in research ethics to be credible leaders of the Masters degree program. To accomplish this goal, our program will provide Masters degree training and mentorship for faculty, and guide them in establishing their own Masters. The UBSM Masters program will also provide education in research ethics for people from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Macedonia, countries where Serbo-Croatian is also spoken. UBSM faculty members, prepared with training, mentorship, and the critical academic credential, will then be able to provide Masters degree training for others from the western Balkans. The UBSM training will enable future students to develop the requisite knowledge and skills to provide research review, education, and assure compliance with international standards for the ethical conduct of animal and human subject research at their home institutions. For the past five years, a faculty team from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), together with its partner, UBSM, has been conducting a Fogarty International Center NIH training program providing Certificate level basic research ethics education in the Balkans and Black Sea region. ISMMS is a leading U.S. medical institution, currently ranked 13th in its biomedical research funding. Participating ISMMS faculty members have significant experience conducting clinical and bioethics research. They have extensive experience in human and animal research review and are leaders in teaching the ethical conduct of research, research ethics, medical ethics, and research methods. The UBSM Masters curriculum will build upon our successful Fogarty Certificate program. The plan is comprised of two key elements: (A) mentoring UBSM Masters program faculty and (B) supporting their development and implementation of a sustainable Research Ethics Masters curriculum. Faculty development will include: enabling faculty members to complete a Masters in Research Ethics, providing skills training, co-teaching experience, practical experience with research review, consultation and guidance throughout the curriculum development and implementation process. Continuing education of the Masters program faculty will employ distance learning technology where feasible.
