Family Health International (March 2002)

Developed by Family Health International, the Research Ethics Training Curriculum  has been developed for international researchers who conduct research that includes human participants and who want to incorporate fundamental ethical considerations in the design and implementation of their research.

The Research Ethics Training Curriculum offers international researchers:

• Case studies so that the learner can consider real-world examples of ethical issues
• Materials to assist researchers in designing studies that respect local regulations, cultures and expectations 
• Ancillary reference documents on modern perspectives that shape the research ethics field 

The curriculum is designed for self-study or as training material for faculty. 
It consists of 5 chapters, each focusing on a core content area related to research ethics:

• Principles of Research Ethics 
• Foundations of Research Ethics 
• Responsible Conduct of Research 
• Supervision of Research 
• Special Issues in Research

The curriculum includes reference material, case studies and a post-test.
