Over the next three years,
and through a grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, AMANET will organize a series of 5 workshops
on Advanced Health
Research Ethics (HRE) primarily for health investigators
and secondarily for Ethics
Committee members and policy makers. Since the workshops
will be at an advanced
level, basic HRE training will be a pre-requisite.
Objectives: This workshop aims firstly
to flag topical ethical issues that are relevant to health
research in developing country settings, and secondly
to explore various schools of
thought with the aim of coming up with well thought out
positions and/or
recommendations. Examples and case studies pertinent to
Africa will be used. The
following are the highlights of the topics to be covered:
- Applying Ethical principles in Health Research and
Ethical review process
Responsibilities in Health Research
- Ethical issues in research design and recruitment
of research participants.
- Research with vulnerable persons and groups
- Legal and social issues in Health Research Ethics
- Ethical Issues in international collaborative health
research
- Models and practicalities of community consultation
- Ethical issues surrounding the 10/90 gap
- Ethical issues in traditional medical practice and
“research”
- Professional Ethics
