Project Details
Description
1. Project Summary
This Training Program in Research Ethics in the Americas provides in-depth education
in ethics for researchers in biomedical and social science, members of research ethics
committees, and educators working in related fields. The program began as a
collaboration between Albert Einstein College of Medicine (USA) and the Facultad
Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO) in Buenos Aires, Argentina and is
now held in its entirety at FLACSO. The program addresses the current situation in the
region, selecting new trainees from areas where leaders in research ethics are needed.
At the same time, former trainees can participate in the activities of the current
program. The program for new trainees includes both practical and theoretical
educational activities, beginning with a three-month stay in Buenos Aires and continues
with online coursework that culminates in a master's degree. Among the experiential
learning activities, the program offers ongoing mentoring focused on writing skills and
critical thinking, as well as meetings with local scientists engaged in research. Trainees
have the opportunity to observe not only how research ethics committees and
community advisory boards function, but also attend the National Research Ethics
Advisory Committee's in-person meetings. The program includes mentoring plan for
former trainees who have completed the program with the aim to expand their
educational opportunities in the region and ensure sustainability.
