The recent growth in the volume of biomedical and health-related research in the Middle East and North African regions makes it critical to develop research ethics capacity to ensure the conduct of biomedical and public health research. This program intends to enhance the professional development and career advancement of a critical mass of trainees who will demonstrate ethics leadership at their universities. They will be equipped with the skills and experiences needed to build sustainable training programs and ethics review systems that will ensure the protection of the rights and welfare of research participants.
