节目概要 在过去的几十年里，生物医学研究呈指数级增长，需要 研究伦理能力的平行增长。中低收入国家（LMIC）面临着 由于社会经济、文化、宗教和政治动荡而导致的医疗保健问题， 更好的研究来找到这些问题的解决方案。巴基斯坦，世界第五大国家 正在努力提高对影响当地卫生保健问题的研究能力， 人口授权支持努力建立研究伦理资源。拟议 计划就是这样一种努力。 使能伦理研究：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）制定一个为期两年的高级课程， 水平生物伦理学硕士课程，特别强调研究伦理学，2）提供两个- 一年的高级生物伦理学硕士课程，和3）进行需求评估， 巴基斯坦主要学术中心的研究伦理学和生物伦理学， 方法途径 这个高级硕士课程面向来自不同领域的职业中期专业人士 学科，使他们成为该领域的领导者，能够带头类似 项目在自己的机构和开展高质量的研究背景 伦理问题该计划的成功实施预计将转化为 提高生物伦理学在以下四个领域的整体质量/标准：研究 伦理学，临床伦理学，公共卫生伦理学和组织伦理学， 整合在每个领域。该计划将提供兼职的基础上，以健康 专业人员、研究人员、药剂师、理疗师、医院管理人员，此外， 卫生部官员和决策者、律师、医学记者、社会科学家， 哲学家，居住在巴基斯坦。此外，该提案还包括一个国家- 对该国研究道德操守相关能力进行广泛摸底。这预计将 提供有关院校的人力需求和道德基础设施的资料， 可为政策制定、资源分配和类似培训的规划提供帮助 程序. 1

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
