Project Description
The Johns Hopkins University-Addis Ababa University Research Ethics Training Program in Ethiopia (JHU-AAU RETP) will create a new track in research ethics within AAU’s Masters of Public Health program and will train 15 individuals over the course of five years. Masters students will spend two years pursuing advanced coursework at AAU, an intensive two-month training in research ethics at JHU, and will complete an independent research project by completion. The partnership will also establish a Research Ethics Unit by the end of five years at AAU that will continue to strengthen and grow Ethiopia’s ethics capacity by strengthening research ethics teaching capacity; enhancing research ethics coordination capacity; enhancing international networking; enabling stronger communication; and supporting the IRB at AAU.
