ABSTRACT This is a renewal application to the previous International Health Ethics Training program award (R25TW009730 PD Nelson Sewankambo), that is currently in a no-cost extension period till December 2019. The program has focused on increasing capacity mainly at Master’s degree level and short courses for professionals, researchers and students. This new application is entitled, “Sustain: Advancing Makerere University Masters Bioethics training”. Its major focus is sustainability and builds on the achievements, challenges and lessons learned from the above program, while taking into consideration a) the rapidly increasing external research funding in Uganda b) the increasing focus on research ethics education at masters, PhD and post-doctoral levels, c) the improved national and institutional regulatory research ethics mechanisms and d) the more than 30-year longstanding research collaborations between Ugandan and foreign researchers. The overall goal of this application, led by Prof Nelson Sewankambo at Makerere University is to implement a sustainable advanced masters level education that provides in-depth understanding of international research ethics in clinical, biomedical, behavioral and public health research, and enhances application of research ethics principles in the East Africa. The program objectives that align with the three domains mentioned above are: 1. To develop and sustain a two-year advanced Master of Health Science in Bioethics anchored on didactic course work and practicum experiences to produce graduates who are life-long learners, with in-depth knowledge and advanced skills that are scientifically and socio-culturally relevant to Uganda and international research ethics to provide research ethics leadership (in education, service provision, policy development, and conduct of applied and empirical research. 2. To develop and institutionalize a mentorship program in research ethics that facilitates development of bioethics professionals and health researchers who are committed to the growth and application of research ethics in Uganda’s academic and research institutions to the highest possible degree. 3. To accelerate the development of a Bioethics Center at Makerere University College of Health Sciences, that will serve as a coordination and innovations hub for the rapidly increasing and expanding ethics education (including continuing ethics education and mentorship to alumni), research, consultancy services, policy and related partnerships and networking activities at this research intense institution. This renewal application will lay a firm foundation for sustainability of model program for Uganda and the Sub-Saharan region. Candidates for admission will be identified through a rigorous three-step process. A Training and Advisory committee will be composed of leading researchers, bioethicists, educators and policy makers from Makerere University. They will work closely with the implementation team to ensure success of each trainee and the overall program. This process will lead to enhanced education, training and professional development of its graduating bioethicists with potential to become research ethics leaders and life-long learners. The students will each complete a mentored research project, disseminate their results widely in the country and internationally including publishing in peer-reviewed journals. The success of this program will translate into improvements in ethical decision making for research leading to enhancements in responsible conduct of research, and overall protection of research participants.

抽象的 这是先前的国际健康道德培训计划奖的续签申请 （R25TW009730 PD Nelson Sewankambo），目前处于无成本延长期间 2019年12月。该计划的重点是在硕士学位水平上提高能力， 专业人士，研究人员和学生的简短课程。这个新应用的标题为“维持： 推进Makerere University Masters Bioethics培训”。其主要重点是可持续性，并以此为基础 从上述计划中汲取的成就，挑战和教训，同时考虑到 a）乌干达迅速增加的外部研究资金b）越来越关注研究伦理 硕士学位，博士和博士后的教育，c）改进的国家和机构监管 研究伦理机制和d）长期以来30年的研究合作 乌干达和外国研究人员。 由Makerere University的Nelson Sewankambo教授领导的该应用程序的总体目标是实施 可持续的高级硕士学位教育，可深入了解国际 临床，生物医学，行为和公共卫生研究中的研究伦理，并加强了 东非的研究伦理原则。与三个域保持一致的程序目标 上面提到的是： 1。开发和维持一项为期两年的生物伦理健康科学高级硕士学位 教学课程的工作和实践经验，以培养毕生学习的毕业生 与乌干达在科学和社会文化上相关的深入知识和高级技能 和国际研究伦理，以提供研究伦理领导力（教育，服务提供， 政策制定以及应用和实证研究的进行。 2。制定和制度化研究伦理学的心态计划，以促进发展 致力于增长和应用的生物伦理学专业人员和健康研究人员 乌干达的学术和研究机构的研究伦理最高程度。 3。加速在马克雷雷大学卫生学院的生物伦理学中心的发展 科学，将作为快速增加和扩展的协调和创新中心 道德教育（包括持续的道德教育和对校友的心态），研究， 这项研究激烈的咨询服务，政策及相关伙伴关系和网络活动 机构。 这种更新的应用将为乌干达和 撒哈拉以南地区。将通过严格的三步过程来确定入学的候选人。一个 培训和咨询委员会将由领先的研究人员，生物伦理学家，教育工作者和 马克雷尔大学的政策制定者。他们将与实施团队紧密合作，以确保 每个学员的成功和整体计划。这个过程将导致增强的教育，培训 以及其不断增长的生物伦理学家的专业发展，有潜力成为研究伦理 领导者和终身学习者。学生每个人都会完成一个指导的研究项目，传播 他们的结果在该国和国际上广泛，包括在同行评审期刊上发布。 该计划的成功将转化为研究的道德决策，以改进导致的研究 负责任的研究的增强和研究参与者的整体保护。
