Call for Applications for Research Ethics Capacity Development for African Institutions
June 15, 2009
 The Johns Hopkins-Fogarty African Bioethics Training Program (FABTP) is pleased to announce the launch of a capacity development program in research ethics for institutions within Africa. The Johns Hopkins-Fogarty African Bioethics Training Program is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Fogarty International Center (FIC), and is directed by faculty of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics.Â
FABTP now seeks applications from eligible African institutions for a funded collaborative partnership in international research ethics. The goal of the training partnership is to enhance research ethics capacity within the selected African institution. Applicant institutions must meet institutional eligibility requirements outlined below. The training partnership will occur over a 12-month period beginning October 2009, with continued guidance and opportunities for collaboration thereafter. The program will support the capacity development of one African institution per year for each of the next three years; a new announcement will call for applications each year.
For training partnership details, eligibility requirements, and application materials, please see the attached flyer, or contact Joseph Ali (Program Coordinator) at [email protected].
