CBEC-KEMRI BIOETHICS TRAINING INITIATIVE - 1 ABSTRACT 2 LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES (LMICS) LIKE KENYA AND PAKISTAN FACE A DOUBLE BURDEN 3 OF DISEASE. THIS WAS ESCALATED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WHICH ENHANCED INEQUITY, 4 EXPLOITATION AND INACCESSIBILITY TO RESEARCH OUTPUTS. THE COVID PANDEMIC ALSO DIVERSIFIED THE 5 RESEARCH PORTFOLIO AND RESEARCH ETHICS COMMITTEES (RECS) IN SUCH SETTINGS GRAPPLED WITH 6 UNCERTAINTY WHILE PROVIDING OVERSIGHT TO NOVEL RESEARCH INITIATIVES. THE GROWING NUMBER OF 7 INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING IN KENYA AND LARGE NUMBER OF INSTITUTIONS IN PAKISTAN WITH BOTH 8 SOCIAL SCIENCES AND BIOMEDICAL FACULTIES EMPHASIZE THE NEED TO ENHANCE HUMAN SUBJECT 9 PROTECTION AND BUILD CAPACITY FOR BOTH TRAINING AND RESEARCH IN BIOETHICS. TO ADDRESS CURRENT 10 AND EMERGING ETHICAL CHALLENGES, WE PROPOSE DIVERSIFICATION OF THE EXISTING SOUTH TO SOUTH 11 COLLABORATION, BETWEEN THE KENYA MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (KEMRI) AND THE CENTRE FOR 12 BIOMEDICAL ETHICS AND CULTURE (CBEC). BUILDING ONTO THE WORK DONE IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, 13 THE CBEC-KEMRI BIOETHICS TRAINING INITIATIVE (CK-BTI) WILL ESTABLISH THE FIRST BLENDED 14 BIOETHICS PGD AND MASTERS LEVEL PROGRAMS AT 2 LOCAL KENYAN UNIVERSITIES. TO ACHIEVE 15 SUSTAINABILITY AND TO ENSURE THE TIMELY COMPLETION, CK-BTI WILL PROVIDE FACULTY FOR BOTH 16 PROGRAMS, AND CONDUCT TRAINING IN ETHICS PEDAGOGY INCLUDING DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING AND 17 EXAMINATION TOOLS WHILE ALSO PROVIDING TRAINING IN MENTORSHIP. THIS WILL ALSO A ENSURE A CRITICAL 18 MASS OF WELL-TRAINED FACULTY FOR THE TWO NEW KENYAN PROGRAMS AND SPILL OVER TO SUPPORT OTHER 19 GRADUATE LEVEL BIOETHICS TRAINING PROGRAMS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY BEING ESTABLISHED IN BOTH 20 KENYA AND PAKISTAN. CAPACITY BUILDING FOR OTHER STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING RECS MEMBERS AND 21 RESEARCHERS IN KENYA WILL BE ACHIEVED BY EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF CERTIFICATE COURSES 22 OFFERED EVERY YEAR AND INTRODUCING A NEW TRAINING TO TARGET LAY MEMBERS OF REC. RAPID 23 CAPACITY BUILDING INITIATIVES INCLUDING WORKSHOPS IN RESEARCH ETHICS AND RESEARCH 24 METHODOLOGY WILL ALSO BE INTRODUCED IN PAKISTAN. FINALLY TO SUPPORT AND GROW LEADERS IN 25 GLOBAL BIOETHICS IN BOTH COUNTRIES, WORKSHOPS TO DEVELOP SKILLS IN GRANTSMANSHIP AND 26 PUBLICATION WILL BE HELD TO EXPAND BIOETHICS RESEARCH OUTPUT. THIS CONTEXTUAL NEEDS-DRIVEN 27 MULTI-PRONGED PROGRAM ULTIMATELY SEEKS TO ENHANCE QUALITY OF RESEARCH AND ENHANCE HUMAN 28 SUBJECT PROTECTION IN RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED SETTINGS.

CBEC-KEMRI BIOETHICS TRAINING INITIATIVE - ABSTRACT AN EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH IN LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES (LMIC'S) IN THE LAST TWO DECADES HAS NOT BEEN ACCOMPANIED BY A COMMENSURATE INCREASE IN TRAINED BIOETHICISTS, RESULTING IN A CRITICAL GAP FOR RESEARCH REGULATION. KENYA HAS 22 ACCREDITED INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH ETHICS COMMITTEES (IREC) EACH WITH 10-15 MEMBERS. TO ADDRESS THIS, THE KENYA MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (KEMRI) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CENTRE FOR BIOMEDICAL ETHICS AND CULTURE (CBEC) IN KARACHI, PAKISTAN, SEEK TO STRENGTHEN CAPACITY FOR BIOETHICS TRAINING IN THE TWO COUNTRIES THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CBEC-KEMRI BIOETHICS TRAINING INITIATIVE (CK-BTI), THAT OFFERS A MASTERS IN BIOETHICS (MBE), POST- GRADUATE DIPLOMA (PGD) AND CERTIFICATE COURSES IN BIOETHICS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS COLLABORATIVE TRAINING INITIATIVE WILL TRAIN CORE FACULTY FOR KENYA (AIM 1), TO TRAIN CORE FACULTY FOR KENYA: BUILDING INITIAL BIOETHICS CAPACITY FOR A SUSTAINABLE PROGRAM, (AIM 2) TO BUILD AN INNOVATIVE AND COLLABORATIVE CURRICULUM IN BIOETHICS FOR KENYA (AIM 3) TO OFFER LOCALLY AVAILABLE POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA AND MASTERS IN ETHICS DEGREE COURSES (AIM 4) TO RAPIDLY BUILD CAPACITY FOR REVIEW FOR REC BY OFFERING CERTIFICATE COURSES AND TO DESIGN A PRACTICUM WHICH INCLUDES HANDS ON EXPERIENCE ON HOW TO MANAGE AN REC SECRETARIAT FOR REC MEMBERS FOR BOTH KENYA AND PAKISTAN. UNDER THE CK-BTI, A TOTAL OF 350 KENYAN PARTICIPANTS WILL BE TRAINED AS FOLLOWS: 8 MBE STUDENTS, 22 PGD STUDENTS AND 320 CERTIFICATE PARTICIPANTS. IN ADDITION, 30 PAKISTANI SCHOLARS COMPRISING 10 MBE CANDIDATES AND 20 CBEC-LINKED PARTICIPANTS WILL UNDERTAKE A PRACTICUM AT KEMRI TO ENRICH THEIR PRACTICAL UNDERSTANDING OF ETHICAL ISSUES USING A CULTURALLY-DIVERSE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT, AS WELL AS ENHANCE THEIR HANDS-ON SKILLS IN THE RUNNING OF A BUSY IRB OFFICE. CK-BTI WILL OFFER THREE UNIQUE AND INNOVATIVE FEATURES: MODULAR TRAINING WHICH ENCOMPASSES A DISTANCE LEARNING COMPONENT SUITABLE FOR A DIVERSE APPLICANT BASE, PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE AT THE KEMRI SCIENTIFIC AND ETHICS REVIEW UNIT (SERU) DESIGNED TO IMPACT THE FUNCTION OF COMMITTEES AND IRB SECRETARIATS, AND LASTLY TO PROVIDE A RICH CROSS-CULTURAL BIOETHICS EXPERIENCE. THIS INITIATIVE WILL TARGET PARTICIPANTS FROM THE MEDICAL RESEARCH FIELD, HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, MEMBERS OF RECS AND TRAINEES FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, WHICH WILL ENSURE THAT A WIDE RANGE OF INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING, AND RECS IN KENYA AND PAKISTAN BENEFIT FROM THE TRAINING. WE PLAN TO DEVELOP A CRITICAL MASS OF WELL-TRAINED PROFESSIONALS, ACADEMICS, RESEARCH SCIENTISTS, AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN KENYA AND PAKISTAN WITH IN-DEPTH AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS, CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS IN SOCIAL, BIOMEDICAL, CLINICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH AREAS AND WHO WILL IMPACT THEIR INSTITUTIONS AND BE LEADERS OF BIOETHICS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES.
