DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will build capacity in international research ethics in China. The primary focus will be a 2-year program of Master's level training focused on international research ethics to at least 30 Fellows from China, with the objective of preparing them to establish or significantly enhance research ethics training programs, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), and/or compliance offices at their local institution. In this way, the impact of the training of these 30 Fellows will be greatly amplified in the years to come. The instructional program provided to the fellows will be tailored to each individual needs, based on their prior knowledge and experience, their specific interests, and their specific local environment. The curriculum will include (a) instruction in research ethics provided through workshops, seminars, and coursework taken primarily in China and at the University of Pittsburgh, (b) training in professional development (e.g., publishing research articles, preparing proposals, project management, and evaluation) and the aspects of responsible conduct associated with those skills, (c) instruction and involvement in the design, development, and management of research programs, (d) attendance at selected meetings of IRBs at the University of Pittsburgh, as well as discussions with the administrators of those units that will focus on preparing the participants to establish and direct such programs in China, (e) visits to IRBs at additional institutions, (f) a visit the NIH, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the Office of Research Integrity (ORI), and Johns Hopkins University to discuss critical issues in research ethics and science policy, and (g) instruction in pedagogy and distance learning provided in China by the PIs and other US- and China-based experts in the field of education. In the second year, the Fellows will be expected in initiate or significantly improve a course on research ethics with input from a mentoring committee consisting of one of the PIs and US- and China-based consultants. Fellows will also be encouraged to become engaged on relevant research and start up grants will be available on a competitive basis. In addition, we will develop a locally sustainable conference on research ethics for researchers, administrators, and policy makers in China to be held in the fifth year of the project. The PIs and their co-investigators and consultants will be involved in the planning and implementation of the first conference. However, the major responsibility will be that of the Fellows themselves, and a mechanism will be put in place to ensure that future conferences of this sort will be held regularly and be organized entirely by program alumni and those their trainees. A rigorous evaluation of the program will occur at all phases, and both the curriculum and the outcome of the program will be disseminated at professional meetings, on the web, and in peer-reviewed publications. The program will be overseen by an External Advisory Committee made up of individuals with relevant expertise, most of whom will not be directly affiliated with the training program except that they will assist in participant selection and the evaluation of the curriculum and its effectiveness.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将建设中国的国际研究伦理能力。主要重点是为至少 30 名中国研究员提供为期 2 年的硕士水平培训计划，重点关注国际研究伦理，目的是帮助他们做好建立或显着加强研究伦理培训计划、机构审查委员会 (IRB)、和/或当地机构的合规办公室。这样，这30名研究员的培训影响将在未来几年大大放大。 为研究员提供的教学计划将根据他们的先前知识和经验、他们的具体兴趣以及他们的具体当地环境，根据每个人的需求量身定制。课程将包括 (a) 通过主要在中国和匹兹堡大学举办的讲习班、研讨会和课程提供研究伦理方面的指导，(b) 专业发展培训（例如，发表研究文章、准备 提案、项目管理和评估）以及与这些技能相关的负责任行为的各个方面，（c）指导和参与研究计划的设计、开发和管理，（d）参加大学IRB的选定会议匹兹堡，以及与这些单位的管理人员进行讨论，重点是让参与者做好在中国建立和指导此类项目的准备，(e) 访问其他机构的 IRB，(f) 访问 NIH（美国国立卫生研究院）科学的进步美国科学促进会 (AAAS)、研究诚信办公室 (ORI) 和约翰·霍普金斯大学讨论研究伦理和科学政策方面的关键问题，以及 (g) PI 和其他美国和中国在中国提供的教学法和远程学习指导教育领域的专家。第二年，研究员将根据由一名 PI 以及美国和中国顾问组成的指导委员会的意见，启动或显着改进研究伦理课程。还将鼓励研究员从事相关研究，并将在竞争的基础上提供启动资助。此外，我们还将在项目的第五年为中国的研究人员、管理人员和政策制定者举办一场关于研究伦理的本地可持续会议。 PI 和 他们的共同研究员和顾问将参与第一次会议的规划和实施。然而，主要责任将由研究员本身承担，并将建立一种机制，以确保未来此类会议定期举行，并完全由项目校友及其受训人员组织。该计划的所有阶段都将进行严格的评估，课程和计划的结果将在专业会议、网络和同行评审的出版物上传播。该计划将由外部咨询委员会监督，该委员会由具有相关专业知识的个人组成，其中大多数人不会直接参与培训 计划，但他们将协助参与者选择以及课程及其有效性的评估。
