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.

项目摘要/摘要 一项健康研究是一个国际健康研究领域，它认识到复杂的相互联系 人类，动物，植物，微生物和环境健康。它需要一种跨学科的方法来回应 在寻找原因，预防和反应时，全球健康需求。它的重要性经历了 全球伴随着COVID-19，一种病毒疾病毁灭性人，涉及动物，并与变化有关 农业，社会，环境和旅行实践。一项健康研究在解决方面起着关键作用 爆发，大流行以及灾难，人道主义危机和其他紧急情况的健康影响，通常 需要紧急开始研究，并提出其他道德挑战。作为一项健康研究 增加，需要解决其道德问题的需求。一项健康研究通常涉及人类受试者， 动物（家庭和野生），农业实践，文化实践和环境问题，都有不同的 道德组成部分。正如报告和我们团队的OHEARP调查所发现的那样，道德审查委员会和 监管机构已经过分负担，并且等同于审查和监测一项健康研究。作为肯尼亚 收到了越来越多的国际研究项目，接受了研究的人数 道德或进行此类培训的可用性不足。我们的Mohere计划的目标是 提供这样的培训，从而为肯尼亚不断增长的国际健康增长的研究道德能力 研究，包括一项健康和紧急研究。我们将通过两个具体目标来实现该目标。 具体目标1：增强内罗毕大学的国际健康研究道德培训能力 从一个健康和紧急的角度来看肯尼亚 特定目标2：建立国际健康研究伦理中的硕士级别计划，重点 一项健康研究和紧急研究。卫生专业人员的干部将在研究方面发展专业知识 一种健康的道德规范，以便以伦理和文化相关的方式对肯尼亚进行健康研究。 Mohere团队都具有教学生物伦理学和研究道德的经验，将开发和提供1- 年度研究生文凭（PGD）和研究伦理学2年的MSC。这些计划将配备科学家，健康 专业人士和学者是发展提供的关键能力的莫德里德学员 研究道德教育和培训，道德审查领导力以及对研究人员的专家咨询 机构，政府和国际研究组织。同时，另一组博士学位 - 级别的专业人士（或等同于他们的领域）将成为MA研究员，以完成OSU MA 生物伦理学。他们将成为生物伦理学和研究道德教育者和导师，将有助于维持 内罗毕大学和肯尼亚的充满活力的研究伦理文化。该小组还将从事研究 研究伦理学，以便将研究肯尼亚国际研究伦理的独特伦理问题。 结果，肯尼亚将为重要的研究伦理科学做出贡献，成为一种健康研究伦理。
