DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): During the last two decades, the volume of research registered by the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology has more than tripled. And while Makerere University College of Health Sciences and her affiliate Research Institutions have carried out ground breaking research trials, Makerere University does not yet have sufficient numbers of locally trained personnel to independently conduct these researches. Because of this, the University significantly relies on expertise from partner Institutions from the developed Countries especially The United States and Europe. These extremely helpful collaborative partnerships have enabled successful research trials without necessarily accelerating proportional and sustainable growth in the cadres of local Ugandan staff available to conduct, manage and evaluate these research trials. Over the recent past, there has been wide realization of the need to develop research administrators but this wave has ignored the need to develop Research ethicists as part of the Research Administration teams. One of the major concerns is the limited numbers of in-country Bioethicists that can sustainably support researchers in Uganda to independently carry out research trials. This local manpower gap is coupled with the urgent need to develop innovative yet sustainable models of training programs that can produce the quality personnel required in the conduct of ethical research that can meet International standards. This curriculum development Planning Grant is aimed at preparing for development of a high quality training curriculum for an International Masters Degree in Research Ethics based on a model that is well suited for students from Uganda, Eastern Africa, other regions in Africa and other low - resource Countries across the World. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed planning grant will provide a unique and timely opportunity for Uganda, the East African region and other parts of Africa to develop a sustainable team of locally trained personnel in Research ethics at a more advanced level. The staff trained through this opportunity will go a long way in meeting the challenges in managing the Research activities that have greatly increased over the years. Moreover, the Research ethics training curriculum will be embodied in the main training programs at the Makerere University College of Health Sciences which will make this a more sustainable model and channel of producing Research ethicists in low - resource settings at a relatively low cost.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去二十年中，乌干达国家科学技术委员会登记的研究量增加了两倍多。尽管麦克雷雷大学健康科学学院及其附属研究机构已经开展了开创性的研究试验，但麦克雷雷大学尚未拥有足够数量的本地培训人员来独立进行这些研究。因此，该大学在很大程度上依赖来自发达国家，尤其是美国和欧洲的合作机构的专业知识。这些极其有益的合作伙伴关系使研究试验取得了成功，而不必加速可用于开展、管理和评估这些研究试验的乌干达当地工作人员的比例和可持续增长。最近，人们广泛认识到培养研究管理人员的必要性，但这一浪潮却忽视了培养研究伦理学家作为研究管理团队一部分的必要性。主要问题之一是能够持续支持乌干达研究人员独立开展研究试验的国内生物伦理学家数量有限。当地的人力缺口加上迫切需要开发创新且可持续的培训计划模式，以培养进行符合国际标准的伦理研究所需的高素质人才。该课程开发规划补助金旨在为国际研究伦理学硕士学位开发高质量的培训课程做准备，该课程的模型非常适合来自乌干达、东非、非洲其他地区和其他资源匮乏地区的学生。世界各国。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的规划赠款将为乌干达、东非地区和非洲其他地区提供一个独特而及时的机会，以培养一支由当地接受过更高水平的研究伦理人员组成的可持续团队。通过这次机会接受培训的工作人员将在应对管理多年来大幅增加的研究活动方面的挑战方面大有帮助。此外，研究伦理培训课程将体现在麦克雷雷大学健康科学学院的主要培训项目中，这将使其成为在资源匮乏的环境中以相对较低的成本培养研究伦理学家的更可持续的模式和渠道。
