7. Project summary: The research output of Low and Middle Income countries (LMICs), particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa, has greatly increased over the last 20 years. This increase is due in part to increasing access to both local or international research funds and various local/international initiatives aimed at strengthening LMIC research capacity. Makerere University is one of the most research-intensive universities in Sub-Saharan Africa and has over the years retained its position among the top 10 universities on the continent. Despite the growth and expansion of the research enterprise and though better than most Sub-Saharan African countries Makerere University has been slow in developing a corresponding capacity in international bioethics and yet like in other research active low- and middle-income institutions it faces many research bioethical challenges. The goal of this application is to develop a sustainable core group of doctoral-level trained bioethics scholars at Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) with the capabilities to conduct original empirical or conceptual bioethics research on challenging health issues and to support the design and implementation of health research at the highest bioethics standards in an African context. This will be achieved through the following aims: Aim 1: To develop individuals with capabilities to conduct original empirical or conceptual research on critical bio-ethical issues in the region Aim 2: To develop a critical mass of bioethics scholars with the capabilities to give robust advice based on theories, concepts and research findings on development of evidence-based bioethics policies in the region Aim 3: To develop individuals with competencies to sustain scholarly careers providing leadership in teaching bioethics, research design and implementation, ethical review of research and research ethics consultation The planned activities are designed to recruit, select and rigorously train Makerere University and its local partners faculty who will be supported through a 4-year sandwich joint supervision doctoral training program, focusing on research bioethical questions and or challenges of local relevance. The graduates of this training will be equipped to in due course and with subsequent post-doc training become independent bioethics researchers who can teach bioethics and bioethics research courses, lead the ethical review of research and provide expert consultation to their institutions, Government of Uganda, the private sector and international research organizations.

7.项目概要： 低收入和中等收入国家，特别是撒哈拉以南非洲国家的研究成果， 在过去的20年里大大增加了。这一增长的部分原因是， 或国际研究基金和各种旨在加强LMIC的地方/国际倡议 研究能力。马凯雷雷大学是撒哈拉以南非洲地区研究型最强的大学之一 多年来一直保持其在非洲大陆前10名大学之一的地位。尽管 研究企业的增长和扩张，虽然比大多数撒哈拉以南非洲国家更好， 马凯雷雷大学在发展相应的国际能力方面进展缓慢， 生物伦理学，但像其他研究活跃的低收入和中等收入机构，它面临着许多研究 生物伦理挑战。本申请的目标是发展一个可持续的博士级核心群体 马凯雷雷大学健康科学学院（MakCHS）的生物伦理学学者， 对具有挑战性的健康问题进行原创性经验或概念性生物伦理学研究的能力， 支持以最高生物伦理标准设计和实施卫生研究， 非洲背景。这将通过以下目标实现： 目标1：培养有能力进行原创性经验或概念研究的人， 本区域的重大生物伦理问题 目标2：培养足够数量的生物伦理学学者，使他们有能力根据以下方面提供强有力的建议： 关于制定本区域循证生物伦理政策的理论、概念和研究结果 目标3：培养有能力维持学术事业的个人，在以下方面提供领导力： 生物伦理学教学、研究设计与实施、研究伦理审查与研究伦理 协商 计划中的活动旨在招募，选择和严格培训马凯雷雷大学及其当地 合作伙伴教师谁将通过4年的三明治联合监督博士培训支持 计划，侧重于研究生物伦理问题和/或当地相关的挑战。毕业生 该培训将配备在适当的时候，并与随后的博士后培训成为独立的 生物伦理学研究人员谁可以教生物伦理学和生物伦理学研究课程，领导伦理审查， 研究并向其机构、乌干达政府、私营部门提供专家咨询， 国际研究组织。
