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.

项目概要/摘要 同一健康研究是国际健康研究的一个领域，它认识到复杂的相互联系 它需要跨学科的方法来应对人类、动物、植物、微生物和环境健康。 全球卫生需求在寻找原因、预防和应对方面的重要性已经得到体现。 在全球范围内，新冠病毒 (COVID-19) 是一种破坏人类并涉及动物的病毒性疾病，与环境变化有关 农业、社会、环境和旅行实践在解决这一问题方面发挥着关键作用。 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，通常 要求紧急启动研究——并提出了更多的伦理挑战。 增加，解决其伦理问题的需求也随之增加，通常涉及人类受试者， 动物（家养和野生）、农业实践、文化实践和环境问题，都具有独特的特征 报告和我们团队的 OHEARP 调查发现，道德审查委员会和 监管机构已经负担过重，而且审查和监督“One Health”研究的能力也很差。 收到的国际研究项目数量不断增加，接受研究培训的人数不断增加 我们的 MOHERE 计划的目标是： 提供此类培训，从而为肯尼亚日益增长的国际卫生事业建立研究伦理能力 我们将通过两个具体目标来实现这一目标。 具体目标 1：加强内罗毕大学的国际卫生研究伦理培训能力 从“同一个健康”和紧急情况的角度来看肯尼亚 具体目标 2：建立国际卫生研究伦理学硕士学位课程，重点关注 一个 健康研究和应急研究 一支由健康专业人员组成的骨干队伍将发展研究方面的专业知识。 统一健康的道德规范，以便在肯尼亚以符合道德和文化的方式进行健康研究。 MOHERE 团队均拥有生物伦理学和研究伦理学教学经验，将开发并提供 1- 一年制研究生文凭（PGD）和两年制研究伦理学理学硕士课程将为科学家、健康领域提供培训。 专业人士和学者作为 MOHERE 学员，培养提供所需的关键能力 研究伦理教育和培训、伦理审查领导以及对研究人员及其研究人员的专家咨询 与此同时，另一组博士- 级别的专业人士（或同等水平，取决于他们的领域）将成为硕士研究员，以完成 OSU 硕士课程 他们将成为生物伦理学和研究伦理学教育者和导师，以帮助维持生物伦理学和研究伦理学。 内罗毕大学和肯尼亚充满活力的研究道德文化该小组也将从事研究。 纳入研究伦理，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，肯尼亚将为 One Health 研究伦理学的重要研究伦理学做出贡献。
