Project Summary In this project, we propose to establish a two-year MSc in Global Health Ethics degree at the University of Cape Town Faculty of Health Sciences (UCT FHS), as well as to formalize the research ethics training curriculum at that Faculty. Through a focus on decolonization of ethics scholarship and from the perspective of the African humanities, we propose to revolutionise ethics teaching in African health research by foregrounding African experiences, needs and worldviews to equip our students to interrogate health research ethics drawing on the latest thinking in the African humanities anchored into the need to decolonise global health and global health ethics. Through the programme we sensitise our students the historical, social and political factors that influence the shape and organisation of global health research, and the manifestation of particular ethical challenges in it. We will combine foundational courses in African humanities with advanced courses in six domains of frontier scientific research taking place in Africa – namely AI, Neuroscience, Genomics, Humanitarian Research, Research in Children, and Open Science. The aim is to graduate students that are able to critically engage with these frontier scientific developments in a way that reflects the ontologies, experiences and needs of Africans. Over the course of this program, we will graduate at least 15 MSc students, 6 of whom will be fully funded and 9 of whom will be partly funded by program resources. We will also make available some of our course content as short courses. Over the course of the program, we will offer 16 short research ethics courses to a minimum of 320 individuals. We will also conduct a meticulous assessment of current ad hoc ethics training initiatives in the UCT FHS, analyze support needs and monitor the quality of ongoing efforts. Drawing on the results of this assessment, we will design and implement a formalized curriculum for research ethics training in the FHS which will include extensive mentorship for those currently offering ethics training across the FHS departments and divisions. Finally we will work to increase the visibility of ethics in the FHS and show UCT FHS staff and students that ethics is exciting and relevant to the plethora of medical research ongoing in the FHS. We will do so by organizing regular events in the FHS that speak to a topic in research ethics, ranging from regular discussion forums drawing on popular forms of media (such as podcasts, videos or newspaper articles) to introduce people to pertinent topics in ethics, to more formal monthly presentations, ‘ask anything’ ethics quickfix events and special events with diverse guest speakers from anywhere in the world. Participation in this enrichment program will be mandatory for our MSc trainees.

项目摘要 在这个项目中，我们建议在全球健康伦理学学位上建立两年的硕士学位 开普敦大学健康科学学院（UCT FHS），以及正式化 该教师的研究伦理培训课程。通过关注道德非殖民化 奖学金和从非洲人类的角度来看，我们建议革新伦理 通过提出非洲体验，需求和世界观的教学 为了使我们的学生询问健康研究伦理，以了解最新想法 非洲人类奠定了非殖民化全球健康和全球健康道德的需求。 通过该计划，我们使学生对历史，社会和政治因素敏感 影响全球健康研究的形状和组织，并表现出特定的表现 其中的道德挑战。我们将将非洲人类的基础课程与先进 非洲的边境科学研究六个领域的课程 - 即AI， 神经科学，基因组学，人道主义研究，儿童研究和开放科学。这 目的是使能够与这些边界科学进行严格互动的研究生 发展以反映非洲人本体，经验和需求的方式。在 该计划的课程，我们将毕业至少15名MSC学生，其中6名将得到充分资助 其中9人将部分由计划资源资助。我们还将提供一些 我们的课程内容是短课程。在计划的过程中，我们将提供16个简短 研究道德课程至少320个人。 我们还将对当前的临时伦理培训计划进行一致评估 UCT FHS，分析支持需求并监控正在进行的努力的质量。画在 该评估的结果，我们将设计和实施正式的研究课程 FHS中的道德培训将包括当前提供的人的广泛心态 跨FHS部门和部门的伦理培训。最后，我们将努力增加 FHS中道德的可见性，并向UCT FHS员工和学生展示道德是令人兴奋的，并且 与FHS正在进行的大量医学研究有关。我们将通过组织 FHS中与研究伦理主题交谈的常规事件，从常规讨论到 论坛以流行形式的媒体形式（例如播客，视频或报纸文章） 向人们介绍道德上的相关话题，以“要求任何东西”进行更正式的每月演讲 伦理QuickFix活动和与潜水员的演讲嘉宾来自世界任何地方的特殊活动。 对于我们的MSC学员来说，参加此丰富计划将是必不可少的。
