US-Zimbabwe Research Ethics Training Program (US-Zim RETP) - Project Summary/Abstract There is currently no research ethics training at master’s degree level in Zimbabwe to support the growing collaborative research and provide the evidence base to address the most pressing health needs in Zimbabwe and globally. This limits the ability of researchers to address ethical dilemmas between international research ethics guidelines and unique local cultural beliefs, values and decision-making practices. The main goal of the proposed United States Zimbabwe Research Ethics Training Program (US-Zim RETP) is to develop human capacity for research ethics education, training, and research in Zimbabwe. The US-Zim RETP is proposed as an innovative and sustainable program that aims to enhance the pedagogical and curricular strengths of key University of Zimbabwe Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (UZFMHS) to deliver research ethics courses and mentoring in Zimbabwe; develop and implement a 2-year Master's level degree in research ethics at the UZFMHS; and to promote key priorities around research ethics in Zimbabwe. UZFMHS is the premier health professions education and training institution in Zimbabwe and is the major center for health research in Zimbabwe as well as the main host for US funded programs including NIH and US pharmaceutical company supported research. By supporting NIH-funded research in Zimbabwe, the US-Zim RETP benefits the American people and the global community by accelerating global health solutions, providing access to unique, diverse populations for critical clinical trials, and enhancing scientific competitiveness through international collaboration. In addition, research projects that are conducted in collaboration with Zimbabwean researchers help identify emerging infectious diseases before they reach the U.S. and drive biomedical innovations that support American biotech industries.
