 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Responsible conduct of research (RCR) is an essential requirement for research training in developed countries and most academic and funding institutions require researchers to obtain such training before starting a research project Jordan is one of the more academically established countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region with a high per-capita university education and progressive research agenda. It is also the hub for pharmaceutical drug development with over 20 companies generating generic drugs and exporting it to the region and globally. Jordanian pharmaceutical companies involve 7 Contract Research Organizations (CROs) in Jordan to conduct clinical drug trial and related human research. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death in Jordan because of shifts to a Western lifestyle and better control of communicable diseases. Jordan has one of the highest smoking and obesity rates in the MENA region, which are the leading risk factors for NCDs. The training of researchers in the responsible conduct of research is essential for population public health research in prevention and clinical trials related to treatment of NCDs. However, research without appropriate ethical standards and training of researchers can produce e harm rather than benefit. Jordan does not have training in the area of responsible conduct of research and research ethics that is comparable to Western and more developed countries. Training the next generation of research scientists in Jordan will require sustained effort in research ethics training. The aims of this proposal are: To build capacity of individual learners by creating a master's level research ethics curriculum with a focus on public health and clinical drug trials; To develop institutional capacit by using a step- wise teaching methodology to deliver knowledge to learners; To develop regional capacity by translating curricular and educational material from English to Arabic; Create a database of research ethics case studies; and To establish a mentoring mechanism to continue the engagement of graduates. This program will be able to develop a new cadre of research ethics expertise in Jordan and the region. A minimum of 120 such graduates are expected to finish the program with a graduate-level certificate in research ethics. This will involve capacity building of the main partnering academic institution in Jordan, the Jordan University of Science and Technology which is among the highest ranking research university in Jordan and the region. This will provide the required paradigm shift in research ethics among researchers in Jordan and the region and promote further research productivity and provides better protection of research subjects but also raise the standard of RCR to be at the international level. The overarching goal of the program is to enable participants to make ethical decisions based on increased knowledge of acceptable standards of scientific conduct and integrity. While achieving this goal, the program will develop institutional and regional capacity n teaching methods and RCR.

 描述（由申请人提供）：负责任的研究行为（RCR）是发达国家研究培训的基本要求，大多数学术和资助机构要求研究人员在开始研究项目之前获得此类培训约旦是学术上较为成熟的国家之一它位于中东和北非 (MENA) 地区，拥有较高的人均大学教育水平和先进的研究议程，也是药品开发中心，拥有 20 多家生产仿制药并将其出口到该地区和全球的公司。制药公司与约旦的 7 个合同研究组织 (CRO) 合作开展临床药物试验和相关人类研究。由于西方生活方式的转变和对传染病的更好控制，非传染性疾病 (NCD) 成为约旦的主要死亡原因。约旦是中东和北非地区吸烟率和肥胖率最高的国家之一，这是非传染性疾病的主要危险因素。对研究人员进行负责任的研究培训对于预防和治疗相关临床试验的人口公共卫生研究至关重要。非传染性疾病。然而，没有适当的道德标准和研究人员培训的研究可能会产生伤害而不是益处，约旦在负责任的研究行为和研究道德方面缺乏与西方和更发达国家相媲美的培训。约旦的一代研究科学家需要在研究伦理培训方面做出持续的努力。 该提案的目的是： 通过创建硕士水平的研究伦理来培养个人学习者的能力。 以公共卫生和临床药物试验为重点的课程； 通过使用逐步教学方法向学习者传授知识来发展机构能力； 通过将课程和教育材料从英语翻译成阿拉伯语来发展区域能力；伦理案例研究；以及 建立一个指导机制，以继续吸引毕业生参与。该计划将能够在约旦和该地区培养一支新的研究伦理专业骨干队伍，预计将有至少 120 名此类毕业生完成该计划。研究生水平的证书这将涉及约旦主要合作学术机构约旦科技大学的能力建设，该大学是约旦和该地区排名最高的研究型大学之一，这将为研究伦理提供必要的范式转变。该计划的总体目标是使参与者能够根据增加的知识做出道德决策。在实现这一目标的同时，该计划将发展机构和地区在教学方法和 RCR 方面的能力。
