International Biomedical Research Ethics Fellowship

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学拟议的国际生物医学研究伦理奖学金的总体目标是在发展中国家和新兴工业化国家建立研究伦理能力。此外，该计划为华盛顿大学（UW）的所有Fogarty资助的项目提供必要的生物医学和研究伦理培训。该研究金将提供正式的教育课程，其中包括基础核心课程，辅之以选修课程。学术课程的目的是让每个研究员选择选修课，这些选修课将讲述他们返回祖国时将面临的特定文化，社会和经济挑战，并寻求实施研究伦理计划和加强人类受试者的保护。该计划的项目后阶段将是教育干预和/或战略计划的指导应用，以提高本国的研究道德和实践。最终，这将加强发起和进行自己的科学研究的能力，同时发展与发达世界研究企业建立更平等伙伴关系的能力。UW计划的目标国家是泰国，中国，越南和印度尼西亚，在这些国家，我们已经有活跃的教师，机构和研究合作。我们提议的奖学金计划将与华盛顿大学现有的福格蒂资助的项目密切合作，开发和实施这一培训计划。我们的计划是仿照大学的高度成功的汉弗莱和人口领导计划，分别侧重于发展中国家的公共管理和人口健康。它也将提供研究生证书，并寻求提高发展中国家的能力。我们预计，国际生物医学研究伦理研究员将通过与华盛顿大学蓬勃发展的人口领导、汉弗莱和福格蒂研究员项目的互动，从协作和多向学习中获得显著的好处。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of the University of Washington's proposed International Biomedical Research Ethics Fellowship is to build research ethics capacity in the developing and newly industrialized countries. In addition, this program provides essential biomedical and research ethics training for all Fogarty-funded programs at the University of Washington (UW). The Fellowship will offer a formal educational curriculum that includes foundational core courses complemented by elective courses. The academic curriculum is designed to allow each Fellow to choose electives that will speak to the specific cultural, social and economic challenges they will face when they return to their home countries and seek to implement research ethics programs and enhanced human subjects' protections. The post-program phase of the program will be a mentored application of the educational intervention and/or strategic plan to improve research ethics and practice in the home country. Ultimately, this will strengthen the ability to initiate and conduct their own scientific research and simultaneously develop the ability for a more equal partnership with the research enterprises of the developed world. The UW Program's target countries are Thailand, China, Vietnam and Indonesia, countries in which we have already have active faculty, institutional and research collaborations. Our proposed Fellowship program will work closely with extant Fogarty-funded programs at the University of Washington in developing and implementing this training program. Our program is modeled on the University's highly successful Humphrey and Population Leadership programs that focus on developing country public administration and population health respectively. It too will offer a graduate certificate and seek to improve developing country capacity. We anticipate that the International Biomedical Research Ethics Fellows will receive significant benefits from the collaborative and multi-directional learning available through interaction with the thriving Population Leadership, Humphrey and Fogarty Fellows programs at the University of Washington.
