Project Summary/Abstract The past four decades, have witnessed a significant increase in public health and clinical research being conducted in Mali, driven partly by increasing international research collaborations and the recent Ebola epidemic. This increase in human research, creates an urgent need for improved bioethics leadership, training, policy and research. It is, therefore, critical and timely to ensure that researchers and members of institutional review board (IRB) in Mali have the requisite knowledge, and capacity to ensure the research meets ethical, cultural, and regulatory expectations. To meet the ethics training needs of Mali, we propose a research ethics capacity building program to strengthen research ethics education and research in Mali through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development to prepare the next generation of ethics researchers. This program will be based on close collaboration between two institutions – the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health (GWU), USA and University of Science, Techniques & Technologies of Bamako (USTTB), Mali. The overall goal of the United States-Mali Research Ethics Training Program (US-Mali RETP) is to strengthen research ethics education and research in Mali. Our model will focus on using US and Africa-based expertise to strengthen USTTB’s capacity to develop and lead a new Master’s degree specialization in research ethics and promote a sustainable bioethics enterprise at USTTB through the following specific aims; Specific Aim 1: To enhance the pedagogical and curricular strengths of key USTTB faculty to deliver research ethics courses and mentoring in Mali. We will implement a faculty development program for selected Malian faculty aimed at enhancing analytical capacity in ethics research and training. The selected Malian faculty will participate in intensive courses in US, work with GWSPH faculty in developing curricula and co-delivery of ethics curriculum during year 2. Specific Aim 2: To develop a research ethics specialization within the existing USTTB Masters of Public Health (MPH) program in order to train a core group of professionals with expertise in research ethics in Mali. We will develop a new curriculum in research ethics within the MPH program at USTTB. The Ethics modules will also be offered as part of a one year Diplome. We will also offer short term training workshops and webinars at USTTB including both basic and advanced topics each year. Specific Aim 3: To promote research around key priorities for research ethics in Mali. We will through our trainees conduct relevant national research on ethics to inform public health, training priorities and health care delivery including ethics of research on infectious and emerging diseases as well as genetics and genomics. Specific Aim 4: To create a dedicated “Research Ethics Unit” within USTTB in Mali. We will work to establish an academic Research Unit within USTTB which will coordinate Bioethics research and activities at USTTB and enhance sustainability of our efforts. This unit will also coordinate a national forum to discuss research ethics in Mali in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Mali.

项目总结/摘要 在过去的四十年里，公共卫生和临床研究显著增加， 在马里进行，部分原因是越来越多的国际研究合作和最近的埃博拉病毒 疫情人类研究的增加迫切需要加强生物伦理学的领导、培训， 政策和研究。因此，确保研究人员和机构成员 马里的审查委员会（IRB）拥有必要的知识和能力，以确保研究符合伦理， 文化和监管期望。为了满足马里的伦理培训需求，我们提出了一项研究伦理培训计划， 能力建设计划，通过创新的方法加强马里的研究伦理教育和研究 可持续能力发展模式，培养下一代伦理学研究人员。这个程序 该计划将建立在两个机构--乔治华盛顿大学米尔肯研究所 美国公共卫生学院和巴马科科学、技术和工艺大学 （USTB），马里。美国-马里研究伦理培训计划（US-Mali）的总体目标是 RETP）是为了加强马里的研究伦理教育和研究。我们的模式将侧重于使用美国和 非洲为基础的专业知识，以加强USTB的能力，开发和领导一个新的硕士学位专业化 在研究伦理和促进可持续发展的生物伦理企业在USTB通过以下具体目标; 具体目标1：加强关键USTB教师的教学和课程优势，以提供 研究道德课程和指导。我们将实施教师发展计划， 选定马里教师，旨在提高道德研究和培训的分析能力。所选 马里教师将参加美国的强化课程，与GWSPH教师合作开发课程， 在第二年共同提供道德操守课程。具体目标2：发展研究伦理学专业 在现有的USTB公共卫生硕士（MPH）计划中，以培养一个核心小组， 在马里的研究伦理专业知识的专业人士。我们将在研究伦理学方面开发新的课程 在USTB的MPH计划中。道德模块也将作为一年文凭的一部分提供。我们 我还将在USTB提供短期培训研讨会和网络研讨会，包括基础和高级主题 每年.具体目标3：围绕马里研究伦理的关键优先事项促进研究。我们将 通过我们的学员进行有关道德的国家研究，以告知公共卫生，培训优先事项， 提供保健服务，包括传染病和新出现疾病以及遗传学研究的伦理， 基因组学具体目标4：在马里科技和贸易理事会内设立一个专门的“研究伦理股”。我们将 努力在科技与旅游局内建立一个学术研究单位，负责协调生物伦理学研究， 在USTB的活动，并提高我们的努力的可持续性。该股还将协调一个全国论坛， 与马里卫生部合作，讨论马里的研究伦理问题。
