# Bioethics Shared Resource

> **NIH NIH U54** · MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE · 2020 · $7,668

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY 
The involvement of skilled bioethicists is necessary for the success of research in the basic and translational 
sciences. In particular, research that is conducted to reduce the burdens caused by the racial disparities in 
cancer incidence requires bioethical guidance. For these reasons, the Bioethics Shared Resource (BESR) is 
an integral component of this Partnership. For full/pilot projects, the BESR provides consultation and 
collaborative support regarding ethical issues from design to implementation and assists in the development of 
grant proposals, abstracts, and manuscripts. In addition to its work supporting the research of Partnership 
investigators, the BESR enhances the bioethical capabilities of the Partnership participants. This is 
accomplished by providing education in bioethics to investigators, junior faculty, post-doctoral fellows, medical 
residents, graduate/undergraduate and medical students, community health advisors, navigators, partners, and 
other Partnership personnel regarding sound applications of bioethical principles in cancer research. The 
BESR provides bioethical education through the Research Education Core of the Partnership and, at TU, 
collaborates in teaching the graduate/undergraduate courses in bioethics in research, health disparities, and 
health policy. Bioethics support is essential for enhancing of the basic and translational research of the 
MSM/TU/UAB CCC Partnership.
