Program Summary Biomedical research has been increasing exponentially in the last few decades, requiring a parallel growth in research ethics capacity. Low Middle Income Countries [LMIC] face striking health care issues due to socioeconomic, cultural, religious, and political turmoil, and need better research to find solutions for those issues. Pakistan, the fifth largest country of the world by population, is trying to increase research capacity for health care issues affecting local populations mandating a supporting effort to build research ethics resources. The proposed program is one such effort. Enabling Ethical Research (EnablER): A Capacity Building Program in Pakistan, the planned project, will have three main aims; 1) Develop a curriculum for two-year advanced level Master of Bioethics program with special emphasis on Research Ethics, 2) Deliver a two- year advanced level Master of Bioethics program, and 3) Conduct a needs-assessment of Research Ethics and Bioethics in leading academic centres of Pakistan through a mixed method approach. This advanced level Master program is for mid-career professionals from different disciplines enabling them to become leaders in the field capable of spearheading similar programs in their own institutions and carrying out high-quality research on the contextual ethical issues. The successful implementation of this program is expected to translate into improving the overall quality/standards of Bioethics in the four domains namely; research ethics, clinical ethics, public health ethics, and organizational ethics, with research being integrated in each domain. The program will be offered on a part-time basis to health professionals, researchers, pharmacists, physiotherapists, hospital administrators, in addition to health ministry officials and policy makers, lawyers, medical journalists, social scientists, philosophers among others, residing in Pakistan. Additionally, the proposal includes a country- wide mapping exercise of research ethics-related capacity in the country. This is expected to provide information on the manpower needs, and ethics infrastructure of institutions, which may be helpful for policy making, resource allocation, and planning of similar training programs. 1

程序摘要 在过去的几十年中，生物医学研究一直在指数增长，需要 研究伦理能力的平行增长。低收入国家[LMIC]面对惊人的 由于社会经济，文化，宗教和政治动荡而引起的医疗保健问题，需要 更好的研究以找到解决这些问题的解决方案。巴基斯坦，世界第五大国 人口正在尝试提高影响当地的医疗保健问题的研究能力 人口要求辅助努力建立研究道德资源。提议 程序就是这样的努力。 启用道德研究（促进者）：巴基斯坦的能力建设计划， 计划的项目将有三个主要目标； 1）开发两年高级课程 级别的生物伦理学计划，特别强调研究伦理学，2）提供两个 年度高级生物伦理学计划和3）进行需求评估 巴基斯坦领先的学术中心的研究伦理和生物伦理学通过混合 方法方法。 这个高级级别的主计划是针对来自不同不同的中级专业人员 学科使他们能够成为能够带头类似的领域的领导者 在自己的机构中计划，并对上下文进行高质量的研究 道德问题。预计该计划的成功实施将转化为 改善四个领域的生物伦理学的总体质量/标准；研究 道德，临床伦理，公共卫生道德和组织伦理，研究是 集成在每个域中。该计划将兼职为健康提供 专业人士，研究人员，药剂师，物理治疗师，医院管理人员，此外 卫生部官员和政策制定者，律师，医学记者，社会科学家， 哲学家等，居住在巴基斯坦。此外，该提案包括一个国家 - 该国与研究伦理相关的能力的广泛映射。这是期望的 提供有关机构的人力需求和道德基础设施的信息， 可能有助于制定政策，资源分配以及类似培训的计划 程序。 1
