Project Description
Myanmar emerges from decades of isolation with much hope and support from the global and regional communities and as such, funds for health-related research is increasing to enhance the health status of the population. Ethical behavior and the review of healthcare-related research remains a worldwide concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This program will enhance the professional development of a critical mass of individuals who will become ethics leaders at their universities and develop sustainable degree programs in research ethics. Such efforts will meet the emerging research and health system evaluation demands of the Myanmar society that is undergoing rapid transition.
