UoN-OSU MSc in One Health and Emergency Research Ethics (MOHERE)

项目摘要/摘要 One Health Research是一个国际健康研究领域，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。它需要跨学科的方法来应对 在寻找原因、预防和应对方面，全球卫生需要。它的重要性已经被认识到了 在全球范围内，新冠肺炎是一种毁灭性的病毒疾病，涉及动物，与 农业、社会、环境和旅行实践。一项健康研究在解决以下问题中发挥关键作用 疫情、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，往往 迫切需要启动研究--并引发更多的伦理挑战。作为一体的健康研究 增加，解决其道德问题的必要性也是如此。一项健康研究经常涉及人类受试者， 动物(家畜和野生动物)、农业做法、文化做法和环境问题，所有这些都与 道德因素。正如报告和我们团队的OHEARP调查所发现的那样，道德审查委员会和 监管机构已经负担过重，装备不足，无法审查和监督One Health研究。作为肯尼亚 接受了越来越多的国际研究项目，接受过研究培训的人数 道德，或可用于进行这种培训，一直是不够的。我们MOHERE计划的目标是 提供这样的培训，从而为肯尼亚日益增长的国际卫生建设研究伦理能力 研究，包括一项健康和急救研究。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道德培训能力 从一个健康和紧急情况的角度看肯尼亚 具体目标2：建立国际卫生研究伦理硕士水平方案，重点是 一项健康研究和紧急研究。一批卫生专业人员将在研究方面发展专门知识 一个健康的伦理，使肯尼亚的健康研究以符合道德和文化相关的方式进行。 MOHERE团队，都有教授生物伦理学和研究伦理学的经验，将开发和交付1- 一年研究生文凭(PGD)和两年制研究伦理学硕士。这些计划将为科学家、卫生部门提供装备 作为MOHERE实习生的专业人员和学者开发所需的关键能力，以提供 研究伦理教育和培训，伦理审查领导，以及向研究人员提供专家咨询，他们的 机构、政府和国际研究组织。与此同时，另一批博士-- 专业人员(或同等级别的专业人员，取决于他们所在的领域)将成为硕士研究员，以完成OSU的MA 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，帮助维持 内罗毕大学和肯尼亚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，以便对肯尼亚国际研究伦理中的独特伦理问题进行调查。 因此，肯尼亚将把重要的研究伦理学术转化为一个卫生研究伦理。

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.
