DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project implements research ethics training and develops a master level curriculum (18 months) for Latin American researchers and policymakers in order to improve their competencies for international collaboration. The goal is to increase the number of professionals sensitized to actual needs and priorities in biomedical, psychosocial, and epidemiological research considering ethnic diversity, role expectations in research and healthcare, and inclusion in a network of professionals conversant with bioethics reasoning and applications. The program will be administered by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Bioethics of the University of Chile. Partnership with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO, regional office of WHO) and its institutional Virtual Bioethics Library ensures wide coverage, dialog with local officials and scientists, and continuity after completion of training. Former trainees and faculty from previous NIH-Fogarty grants 1 R25 TW 01600 and 5 R25TW006056, are part of this program, ensuring sustainability of research ethics and the incorporation of responsible conduct of research to scientific training in Latin America. The program of studies and curriculum development is explicitly oriented towards anthropological analysis, cultural flexibility, and search for alternatives to traditional academic bioethics and is divided into 4 sections The first section, lasting one month, will consist in preparing the trainees by reading materials and listening to audiovisuals on ethics of research in prepared modules via online. The second section will consist in three months of course work and other activities in Santiago of Chile, with an international faculty. The third section will consist of eight months in the country of origin performing studies of ethical practice in clinical and public research and helping developing home institutions in ethics of research; a tutor from CIEB will be appointed to each trainee to follow up through the research process. Home institutions will be developed along four possible tracks: 1) Curricula development of ethics of research programs2) Development of ethical review committees3) Development of ethics of research web programs or sites 4) Participation in ethical review guidelines or processes, regulations or public health policies Trainees will have one monthly supervision session with the tutor, their progress will be monitored through written assignments and consultations with local and international faculties; institutional support will be requested in the selection of candidates; performance will be assessed at home institution by an assigned academic; this section will end with a thesis writing and defense in front of a committee and an evaluation of the intervention in home institutions by the committee in a seminar workshop; plans for publishing the thesis results at scientific journals will be implemented in this seminar as well. After completing the training period (12 months) a certification will be obtained. Plans to publish the experience acquired in web nets and/or scientific publications will be implemented. Contact will be maintained with faculty and advisory committee members via e-mail and Elluminate system, access to PAHO virtual library on bioethics and participation in lecture trips and teaching activities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The implementation of this proposal will generate a group of academics sensitive to an "ethically sustainable" research agenda in a globalized environment, capable of generating masters level curricula and working as researchers, committee members, private and public research funding agencies members, policymakers, and advisors to legislators. They will understand principles and practices in bioethical reasoning and be capable of interacting with counterparts in other countries, with international donors, and with the public opinion in their societies. It is an accepted fact that ethical oversight of research is best performed locally, and this proposal avoids mistrust and dependence, sometimes associated with foreign imposition of principles and norms.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目实施研究伦理培训，并为拉丁美洲的研究人员和决策者开发硕士课程（18个月），以提高他们的国际合作能力。目标是增加对生物医学、心理社会和流行病学研究的实际需求和优先事项敏感的专业人员的数量，同时考虑到种族多样性、研究和保健中的角色期望，并纳入熟悉生物伦理推理和应用的专业人员网络。该计划将由智利大学生物伦理学跨学科中心管理。与泛美卫生组织（泛美卫生组织，卫生组织区域办事处）及其机构虚拟生物伦理学图书馆的伙伴关系确保了广泛的覆盖面，与当地官员和科学家的对话，以及完成培训后的连续性。前学员和教师从以前的NIH-福格蒂赠款1 R25 TW 01600和5 R25 TW 006056，是该计划的一部分，确保研究道德的可持续性和研究的负责任的行为纳入科学培训在拉丁美洲。研究和课程开发计划明确面向人类学分析，文化灵活性，并寻找传统学术生物伦理的替代方案，分为4个部分第一部分，持续一个月，将包括通过阅读材料和通过在线收听准备模块中研究伦理的视听材料来准备学员。第二部分将在智利的圣地亚哥进行为期三个月的课程学习和其他活动，由国际教员授课。第三部分将在原籍国进行为期八个月的临床和公共研究伦理实践研究，并帮助发展研究伦理的国内机构;将为每个学员指定一名来自CIEB的导师，以跟踪研究过程。将沿着沿着四条可能的轨道发展本国机构：1）研究项目伦理学课程开发2）伦理审查委员会的发展3）研究网络项目或网站的伦理学发展4）参与伦理审查指南或流程，法规或公共卫生政策受训者将与导师进行每月一次的监督会议，将通过书面作业和与当地和国际学院的协商来监测他们的进展情况;在挑选候选人时将要求机构提供支持;将由指定的一名学者在本国机构评估成绩;这一部分最后将在一个委员会面前撰写论文和答辩，并在一个研讨会讲习班上评估委员会对本国机构的干预;在科学期刊上发表论文成果的计划也将在这次研讨会上实施。完成培训期（12个月）后，将获得认证。将执行在网络和（或）科学出版物上发表所取得的经验的计划。将通过电子邮件和Elluminate系统与教员和咨询委员会成员保持联系，进入泛美卫生组织生物伦理学虚拟图书馆，并参加讲座旅行和教学活动。公共卫生相关性：这一建议的实施将产生一组学者敏感的“道德可持续”的研究议程在全球化的环境中，能够生成硕士课程，并作为研究人员，委员会成员，私人和公共研究资助机构的成员，决策者和立法者的顾问工作。他们将了解生物伦理推理的原则和实践，并能够与其他国家的同行，国际捐助者以及社会舆论进行互动。公认的事实是，对研究的伦理监督最好在当地进行，这一提议避免了不信任和依赖，有时与外国强加原则和规范有关。
