DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Most developing countries do not currently have a strong community of individuals who are concerned with research ethics. To ensure that research is conducted, however, the capacity to conduct comprehensive, well-informed ethical reviews of research proposals is essential. At present, few developed and developing country institutions provide formal training in the internationally relevant aspects of bioethics, particularly those related to clinical investigations in developing countries. This proposal has two objectives: (1) To support advanced training for a cadre of developing country professionals who could assume the roles and responsibilities of bloethicists involved in ethics review of clinical trial design in the academic, laboratory, clinical or public health settings of research and clinical investigations in their countries; and (2) To provide these professionals with models and materials to enable them to conduct trainings and research projects dealing with research ethics in their countries. The proposed program will build on the present two-year Research Ethics Fellowship program, bringing in four trainees from Asia each year to begin a two-year fellowship training program. Phase I of the fellowship will be composed of a 10-month course of study, during which the trainees will be in residence at the Harvard School of Public Health. During this phase, the trainees will take four required courses, participate in a yearlong seminar and in the Program on Ethical Issues in International Health Research listserv, attend IRB meetings throughout Harvard University (including affiliated hospitals), design a short-course training program (including case study development) to be used in their country, and design a research study to be conducted in Phase II with a grant from the program. In Phase II of the fellowship, the trainees will return to their home countries for 12 months, where they will conduct the research project (dealing with an issue in research ethics) as designed during the first phase of the fellowship, and at least one short-course on research ethics (also designed during Phase I), in addition to continuing their own work and participating in their local and/or national ERB.

描述（由申请人提供）：大多数发展中国家目前没有一个强大的关注研究伦理的个人社区。然而，为了确保研究的进行，对研究提案进行全面、知情的伦理审查的能力至关重要。目前，很少有发达国家和发展中国家的机构提供生物伦理学国际相关方面的正式培训，特别是与发展中国家临床研究相关的培训。该提案有两个目标：(1) 支持对发展中国家专业人员骨干进行高级培训，使他们能够承担参与学术、实验室、临床或公共卫生研究环境中临床试验设计伦理审查的血液伦理学家的角色和责任以及在其国家进行的临床研究； (2) 为这些专业人员提供模型和材料，使他们能够在本国开展涉及研究伦理的培训和研究项目。 拟议的计划将以目前为期两年的研究伦理奖学金计划为基础，每年从亚洲引进四名学员，开始为期两年的奖学金培训计划。该奖学金的第一阶段将包括为期 10 个月的学习课程，在此期间，学员将住在哈佛大学公共卫生学院。在此阶段，学员将学习四门必修课程，参加为期一年的研讨会和国际健康研究伦理问题项目，参加整个哈佛大学（包括附属医院）的IRB会议，设计短期培训计划（包括案例研究开发）在他们的国家使用，并设计一项在该计划的资助下在第二阶段进行的研究。在奖学金的第二阶段，学员将返回祖国12个月，在那里他们将按照奖学金第一阶段的设计进行研究项目（处理研究伦理问题），并至少进行一个短期研究-研究伦理课程（也是在第一阶段设计的），此外还继续他们自己的工作并参与当地和/或国家 ERB。
