项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This initiative seeks to develop and implement a new Master of Research Ethics Studies (MORES) program at the University of Malaya (UM) in Kuala Lumpur. As the first bioethics-related Master's program in Malaysia, MORES will be developed and sustained by leveraging the collective strengths of Johns Hopkins University, Berman Institute of Bioethics (JHU) and UM program faculty who are national and international experts in bioethics, medicine, public health, law, science and education. The MORES program is directly responsive to significant increases in the conduct of international health research, including collaborative clinical trials, in Malaysia and the region. These research trends in part reflect the fact that Malaysia – a middle-income country of more than 30 million people – is facing a “triple burden” of non-communicable diseases, communicable diseases and injuries. Being a multicultural, multilingual and multi-religious (majority Islamic) country, additional layers of ethical complexity for research and researchers are ever-present and in need of concerted attention. The JHU-UM collaboration will lead to the development of a regional hub for research ethics training and capacity development at a premier public university that is responsive to these needs as well as the significant gaps in both researcher and Institutional Review Board research ethics oversight capacity in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Specifically, over a period of five years we will: 1) engage with diverse stakeholders at UM, nationally and regionally in developing the MORES program to support a regional network for research ethics, 2) increase UM faculty capacity for high quality research ethics education and scholarship through JHU-UM faculty partnerships and focused faculty professional development, 3) establish and sustain a robust 12-month Master of Research Ethics Studies degree program at UM and provide funded research ethics Master's training under the program for 40 emerging leaders from Malaysia and the region, and 4) create and curate several shareable, durable resources that enhance research ethics training regionally and globally. MORES trainees will be able to engage thoughtfully and skillfully with a wide range of ethics challenges in international biomedical and social science research, and contribute to the enhancement of ethics policies, training programs and practices in Malaysia and the region. They will be equipped to lead and improve IRBs, help raise national and institutional research ethics standards and awareness, and teach others within their home institutions and beyond. MORES will also help to encourage growth of scholarship amongst faculty and trainees on diverse topics in research ethics to address longstanding and emerging research ethics challenges. In sum, we propose to create a model curriculum and regional hub for research ethics capacity development in Malaysia and Southeast Asia that embraces locally tailored content, collaboration and resource sharing, as well as knowledge and skills development for faculty and trainees who will become part of the next generation of leaders in research ethics.

项目概要/摘要该倡议旨在开发和实施新的研究伦理研究硕士（MORES）项目位于吉隆坡的马来亚大学（UM）作为马来西亚第一个与生物伦理学相关的硕士课程， MORE 将通过利用约翰·霍普金斯大学的集体优势来开发和维持，伯曼生物伦理学研究所 (JHU) 和 UM 项目的教职人员都是国内和国际专家 MORES 计划直接响应生物伦理、医学、公共卫生、法律、科学和教育。国际卫生研究的开展显着增加，包括合作临床试验这些研究趋势部分反映了马来西亚是一个中等收入国家的事实。超过3000万人——面临着非传染性疾病、传染性疾病的“三重负担” 作为一个多文化、多语言和多宗教（伊斯兰教占多数）的国家，额外的研究和研究人员的道德复杂性始终存在，需要共同关注。约翰霍普金斯大学和密歇根大学的合作将导致建立一个区域中心，用于研究伦理培训和一流公立大学的能力发展能够满足这些需求以及重要的马来西亚的研究人员和机构审查委员会的研究道德监督能力存在差距具体来说，在五年内，我们将：1）与密歇根大学的不同利益相关者合作，在国家和地区层面制定 MORES 计划，以支持区域研究伦理网络， 2) 通过 JHU-UM 提高 UM 教师进行高质量研究伦理教育和奖学金的能力教师伙伴关系和重点教师专业发展，3) 建立并维持为期 12 个月的强劲合作关系研究伦理学硕士研究 UM 学位课程并提供资助的研究伦理学硕士学位该计划为来自马来西亚和该地区的 40 名新兴领导人提供培训，以及 4) 创建和策划一些可共享、持久的资源，可加强区域和全球的研究伦理培训。学员将能够深思熟虑、熟练地应对国际领域的各种道德挑战生物医学和社会科学研究，并为加强道德政策、培训做出贡献他们将有能力领导和改进IRB，帮助筹集资金。国家和机构研究道德标准和意识，并在家中教导他人 MORE 还将有助于鼓励教师和其他领域的学术发展。研究伦理学不同主题的受训人员，以解决长期和新兴的研究伦理问题总之，我们建议创建一个研究伦理能力的示范课程和区域中心。马来西亚和东南亚的开发包含本地定制的内容、协作和资源分享以及知识和技能的发展，为将成为未来的一部分的教师和学员一代研究伦理领袖。
