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）：该项目为拉丁美洲的研究人员和政策制定者提供研究伦理培训和硕士课程（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、社会心理和流行病学研究的实际需要和优先事项敏感的专业人员的数量，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学推理和应用的专业人员网络。该项目将由智利大学跨学科生物伦理学中心管理。与泛美卫生组织（泛美卫生组织，世卫组织区域办事处）及其机构虚拟生物伦理图书馆的伙伴关系确保了广泛的覆盖面、与地方官员和科学家的对话以及培训完成后的连续性。前NIH-Fogarty资助1 R25TW 01600和5 R25TW006056的学员和教师是该计划的一部分，确保研究伦理的可持续性，并将负责任的研究行为纳入拉丁美洲的科学培训。研究和课程开发计划明确以人类学分析，文化灵活性和寻找传统学术生物伦理学的替代方案为导向，分为4个部分。第一部分持续一个月，将包括通过在线阅读材料和听关于研究伦理学的视听材料来准备学员。第二部分将包括三个月的课程工作和其他活动，在智利圣地亚哥，与国际教师。第三部分将包括在原籍国进行临床和公共研究中的伦理实践研究，并帮助发展国内研究伦理机构；中心将为每位学员指派一名导师跟进研究过程。家庭院舍将沿着四条可能的轨道发展：1)研究项目的伦理课程发展2)伦理审查委员会的发展3)研究网络项目或网站的伦理发展4)参与伦理审查指南或程序、法规或公共卫生政策的制定学员将与导师进行每月一次的监督会议，通过书面作业和与本地和国际院系的磋商来监测他们的进展；在甄选候选人时将要求机构支助；成绩将由指定的学术机构评估；本部分将以在委员会面前撰写论文和答辩以及委员会在研讨会研讨会上对家庭机构的干预进行评估结束；论文成果在科学期刊上发表的计划也将在本次研讨会上实施。完成培训期（12个月）后将获得证书。将执行公布在万维网和（或）科学出版物中获得的经验的计划。将通过电子邮件和illuminate系统与教员和咨询委员会成员保持联系，访问泛美卫生组织生物伦理学虚拟图书馆，参加巡回演讲和教学活动。公共卫生相关性：实施这一建议将产生一批对全球化环境中“道德上可持续”的研究议程敏感的学者，他们有能力制定硕士水平的课程，并担任研究人员、委员会成员、私人和公共研究资助机构成员、决策者和立法者顾问。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中的公众舆论进行互动。一个公认的事实是，对研究的伦理监督最好在当地进行，这一建议避免了不信任和依赖，有时与外国强加的原则和规范有关。
