View Award Description

Enabling Ethical Research (EnablER): Strengthening Research Ethics Capacity in Pakistan for Global Health Research - Biomedical research has grown rapidly over the past few decades, bringing with it a clear need to strengthen research ethics capacity. In lower-resource settings, health challenges are often shaped by social, cultural, and health system factors, making it essential that research is conducted and reviewed with appropriate ethical safeguards. Strengthening research ethics capacity in such contexts is critical for the ethical conduct and oversight of internationally funded research, including United States-funded studies and collaborative clinical trials. The proposed program, Enabling Ethical Research (EnablER): Strengthening Research Ethics Capacity in Pakistan for Global Health Research, will address this need through three components: (1) development of a two-year advanced-level Master of Bioethics curriculum with a focus on research ethics; (2) delivery of this program to mid-career professionals from multidisciplinary backgrounds; and (3) development of program faculty through structured training, mentorship, and international collaboration, alongside mechanisms to support sustainability beyond the grant period. The program is designed for working professionals from a range of disciplines and will prepare graduates to contribute to ethics education, policy development, and ethical oversight in research and healthcare settings. The curriculum covers clinical ethics, public health ethics, organizational ethics, and research ethics, and will be offered in a hybrid format to allow participation alongside ongoing professional commitments. By strengthening ethics review and oversight in settings where United States-funded research and collaborative clinical trials take place, this program will support compliance with U.S. ethical and regulatory standards, improve protection of research participants, and enhance the quality and reliability of research data. The knowledge and training generated through this program are expected to inform best practices in international research and contribute to studies relevant to populations in the United States and globally.
