    International Research Ethics: A Needs Assessment of Research Ethics Capacity Final Report and Responses

    International collaborative research often raises challenging ethical issues for researchers, review committees and institutions. To date, much of the commentary and discussion surrounding these issues have focused on difficulties in interpreting guidelines, regulations, and policies and on the lack of harmonization. Efforts at regulatory reform and guideline development is one method of contributing to research ethics capacity building, but these are “top-down” approaches involving governments, regulatory agencies, and the challenge of achieving consensus. A complementary strategy is to work from the “ground up”: fashioning collaborative agreements between institutions, ethics review committees, and researchers. Working from the “ground up,” we conducted a needs assessment with participants from the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Moi University Faculty of Health Science in order to determine how best to implement a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) developed between the two institutions. The MOU was designed to address the working relationship between the two universities with respect to their joint research activities and was the product of a Workshop convened in Eldoret, Kenya in February 2003. This work is a direct result of the MOU which explicitly states that “It is expected and intended that among the actions arising from this MOU will be the development of policies, Standard Operating Procedures and other resources that will address specific issues not mentioned here.” The interviews and focus groups provided a wealth of information about current knowledge, policies, procedures, and systems in place at MU and IU, respectively. They also provided a rich source of ideas for enhancing research ethics capacity.
