As part of this international effort, the Wellcome Trust is launching a new research funding initiative as part of its Biomedical Ethics Programme. The Ethics of Biomedical Research in Developing Countries grant schemes aim:
- to build the knowledge base by supporting research into the social, ethical, legal and public policy aspects of biomedical research in developing countries;
- to build research capacity within developing countries by increasing the number of experts with the experience and training to address ethical questions raised by such research; and
- to encourage application of that research by developing strategies for making research useful to researchers, funders, policy makers and others, including those involved in developing national and international guidelines for the ethical conduct of research.
- Project grants
- Research studentships
- Seminars and other capacity-building initiatives
