Project Summary The proposed program will continue to build sustainable research ethics and integrity capacity in Ghana through a joint partnership between New York University Grossman School of Medicine (NYU GSOM) and University of Ghana School of Public Health (UG SPH). The NYU-UG Research Integrity Training Program (NYU-UG RITP) addresses the considerable need for research ethics and integrity training through three initiatives: (1) the strengthening of faculty and enhancement of curriculum at the new MSc. in Bioethics Program at UG SPH through a faculty exchange program, faculty development workshops, co-development and co-delivery of a series of short courses on emerging bioethics issues, support for advanced study, mentoring, co-teaching of MSc. courses, and annual program evaluations, all aiming to ensure the program’s self-sufficiency and long-term sustainability; (2) the development and implementation of a capacity building program consisting of short courses and workshops informed by needs assessments and designed to meet the most urgent and important training needs of personnel at key institutions in Ghana’s research ethics system; and (3) the continuation and expansion of the NYU-UG Fellowship Program in Research Integrity (a) to provide 24 fellows with master’s-level certificates in research ethics to populate local research regulatory and educational systems, and (b) to provide mentoring and career development opportunities to Fellowship graduates, including fellows from NYU-UG RITP’s first phase. We will expand our Fellowship Program’s impact by enrolling trainees from Liberia and Sierra Leone and by facilitating the emergence of the West Africa Research Ethics Network (WAREN), whose members will include graduates of our program and of Fogarty training programs in the West Africa subregion (e.g., Nigeria, The Gambia). Our Fellowship Program will train 2 cohorts of 12 fellows, each cohort comprising 6 trainees from Ghana, 3 from Liberia, and 3 from Sierra Leone. Six outstanding fellows will enroll in the UG SPH program, preparing them to join that program as faculty or to lead future training programs in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Fellows will be selected from researchers who have completed MDs or master’s or doctoral degrees in relevant fields so that the training can build upon their expertise and experience with research methods and local health needs. The one-year Fellowship Program will offer intensive courses in the history and philosophy of research ethics, research integrity, and developing a collaborative research output. Fellows will also complete a practicum experience in the ethical review of research or a mentored collaborative research project on an issue in research ethics or integrity of special importance in the local context. Courses will be co-developed and co-delivered by expert faculty from NYU GSOM and UG SPH. UG SPH faculty will contextualize the curriculum to ensure its cultural relevance. Graduates will contribute to the bioethics literature studies of research ethics and bioethics issues of special significance in Ghana and the subregion, contributions that are essential to reframing discussions of international research ethics and including LMIC-based researchers’ priorities and perspectives.

项目摘要 拟议的计划将继续通过以下方式在加纳建立可持续的研究道德和诚信能力： 纽约大学格罗斯曼医学院和加纳大学之间的联合伙伴关系 公共卫生学院（UG SPH）。NYU-UG研究诚信培训计划（NYU-UG RITP） 通过以下三项举措开展研究伦理和诚信培训的必要性很大：（1）加强 在新的硕士课程的教师和增强。在生物伦理学程序在UG SPH通过教师交流 计划，教师发展研讨会，共同开发和共同提供一系列关于新兴的短期课程 生物伦理学问题，支持高级研究，指导，共同教授硕士课程。课程和年度计划 评估，所有这些都旨在确保该方案的自给自足和长期可持续性;（2）发展和 实施能力建设方案，包括根据需要举办的短期课程和讲习班 评估，旨在满足关键机构人员最紧迫和最重要的培训需求， 加纳的研究伦理制度;（3）继续和扩大纽约大学-大学奖学金计划， （a）为24名研究员颁发研究道德硕士证书， 研究监管和教育体系，以及（B）提供指导和职业发展机会， 奖学金毕业生，包括NYU-UG RITP第一阶段的研究员。我们将扩大我们的奖学金计划的 通过招收利比里亚和塞拉利昂的受训人员以及促进西非国家经济共同体的出现， 研究伦理网络（WAREN），其成员将包括我们的计划和福格蒂培训的毕业生 西非次区域的方案（例如，尼日利亚、冈比亚）。我们的奖学金计划将培训2个队列， 12名研究员，每组包括加纳6名、利比里亚3名和塞拉利昂3名受训人员。六个未决 研究员将参加UG SPH计划，为他们作为教师加入该计划或领导未来的培训做好准备 利比里亚和塞拉利昂的项目。研究员将从已完成医学博士学位或 相关领域的硕士或博士学位，以便培训可以建立在他们的专业知识和经验， 研究方法和当地的健康需求。为期一年的奖学金计划将提供历史上的强化课程 研究伦理、研究诚信和开发合作研究成果的哲学。研究员将 还完成了研究伦理审查或指导合作研究项目的实习经验 研究伦理或诚信问题在当地情况下特别重要。课程将共同开发 并由纽约大学GSOM和UG SPH的专家教师共同提供。UG SPH教师将根据课程设置 以确保其文化相关性。毕业生将有助于研究伦理学的生物伦理学文献研究， 在加纳和分区域具有特别重要意义的生物伦理问题， 讨论国际研究伦理，包括LMIC研究人员的优先事项和观点。
