The Indiana University Center for Bioethics has been awarded a $940,000 four-year grant from the Fogarty International Center at the National Institutes of Health to establish a new research ethics training partnership with colleagues at Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya. The details are below.
Program Summary
The Indiana University-Moi University Academic Research Ethics Partnership (IU-Moi AREP) is a curriculum development and training initiative that builds on longstanding partnerships and collaborations in East Africa.
The IU-Moi AREP has developed two Master's degree programs: one at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and one at Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya. These graduate programs have common and overlapping components, joint advisory committees, shared dissemination plans and harmonized evaluation strategies. Both programs include a curriculum involving required core courses and electives and a practicum experiece, part of which is taken at the counterpart university.
In addition, each IU-Moi AREP partner convenes an annual Teaching Skills in International Research Ethics (TaSkR) workshop to provide training to approximately 50 faculty and students each year.
