Project Summary/Abstract One Health research is a field of international health research which recognizes the complex interconnectedness of human, animal, plant, microbial and environmental health. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to respond to global health needs in the search for causes, prevention and response. Its importance has been experienced globally with COVID-19, a viral disease devastating humans, involving animals, and linked to changes in agricultural, social, environmental and travel practices. One Health research plays a key role in addressing outbreaks, pandemics and the health implications of disasters, humanitarian crises and other emergencies, often requiring research to be initiated urgently – and raising additional ethical challenges. As One Health research increases, so does the need to address its ethical issues. One Health research often involves human subjects, animals (domestic and wild), agricultural practices, cultural practices and environmental issues, all with distinct ethical components. As reports and our team’s OHEARP survey have found, ethics review committees and regulators are already over-burdened and poorly equipped to review and monitor One Health research. As Kenya has received growing numbers of international research projects, the number of people trained in research ethics, or available to conduct such training, has been inadequate. The goal of our MOHERE program is to provide such training and hence build the research ethics capacity for Kenya’s growing international health research, including One Health and emergency research. We will achieve that goal through two specific aims. Specific Aim 1: To strengthen the international health research ethics training capacity at the University of Nairobi and Kenya from a One Health and emergency perspective Specific Aim 2: To Establish a Master’s Level program in international health research ethics with a focus on One Health research and emergency research. A cadre of health professionals will develop expertise in research ethics for One Health so that health research is conducted ethically and in culturally relevant ways for Kenya. The MOHERE team, all with experience teaching bioethics and research ethics, will develop and deliver a 1- year postgraduate diploma (PGD) and 2-year MSc in research ethics. The programs will equip scientists, health professionals and academics as MOHERE trainees to develop the critical competencies needed to provide research ethics education and training, ethics review leadership, and expert consultation to researchers, their institutions, governments and international research organizations. At the same time, another group of doctorate- level professionals (or equivalent depending on their field) will become MA Fellows to complete the OSU MA in Bioethics. They will become the bioethics and research ethics educators and mentors to will help sustain a vibrant research ethics culture at the University of Nairobi and in Kenya. This group will also engage in research into research ethics so that the distinct ethics issues in international research ethics in Kenya will be investigated. As a result, Kenya will contribute to important research ethics scholarship into One Health research ethics.

项目总结/摘要 一个健康研究是国际健康研究的一个领域，它认识到复杂的相互联系， 人类、动物、植物、微生物和环境健康的基础。它需要一个跨学科的方法来应对 在寻找原因、预防和应对方面的全球卫生需求。它的重要性已经被体验过了 全球范围内的COVID-19，一种病毒性疾病，破坏人类，涉及动物，并与 农业、社会、环境和旅行实践。一个健康研究在解决 疾病暴发、流行病以及灾害、人道主义危机和其他紧急情况对健康的影响， 需要紧急启动研究，并提出额外的道德挑战。As One Health研究 随着经济增长，解决其道德问题的必要性也在增加。一项健康研究通常涉及人类受试者， 动物（家养和野生），农业实践，文化实践和环境问题，所有这些都具有独特的 道德成分。正如报告和我们团队的OHEARP调查发现，道德审查委员会和 监管机构已经负担过重，没有能力审查和监督One Health研究。肯尼亚 接受的国际研究项目越来越多，接受研究培训的人数越来越多， 道德或可用于开展此类培训的资源不足。我们MOHERE计划的目标是 提供此类培训，从而为肯尼亚日益增长的国际卫生事业建立研究伦理能力 研究，包括一个健康和紧急研究。我们将通过两个具体目标实现这一目标。 具体目标1：加强内罗毕大学的国际卫生研究伦理培训能力 从一个健康和紧急情况的角度 具体目标2：建立国际卫生研究伦理学硕士课程，重点是 一项是卫生研究和紧急情况研究。一批卫生专业人员将发展研究方面的专门知识 “一个健康”的伦理，以便在肯尼亚以符合伦理和文化的方式进行健康研究。 MOHERE团队，所有具有生物伦理学和研究伦理学教学经验的人，将开发和提供一个1- 一年研究生文凭（PGD）和两年制研究伦理学硕士学位。这些项目将为科学家、健康人士提供装备 专业人士和学者作为MOHERE学员，以发展提供所需的关键能力 研究伦理教育和培训，伦理审查领导，以及研究人员的专家咨询， 机构、政府和国际研究组织。与此同时，另一批博士-- 水平的专业人士（或同等学历，取决于他们的领域）将成为硕士研究员，以完成俄勒冈州立大学硕士在 生物伦理学。他们将成为生物伦理学和研究伦理学的教育者和导师， 在内罗毕大学和肯尼亚，有着充满活力的研究伦理文化。这个小组还将从事研究 研究伦理，以便在肯尼亚国际研究伦理的独特的伦理问题进行调查。 因此，肯尼亚将为“一个健康”研究伦理提供重要的研究伦理奖学金。
