The Fogarty African Bioethics Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program is an 18-month advanced bioethics postdoctoral training program for scholars from sub-Saharan Africa who hold a bioethics-related PhD. This D43 renewal is a collaboration between Johns Hopkins University (USA), Makerere University (Uganda), and University of Oxford (UK). At its core, this program strengthens research ethics capacity essential for ethical conduct and oversight of the substantial NIH-funded research portfolio in sub-Saharan Africa. Uganda alone hosts hundreds of active NIH-funded studies, including approximately 50 grants awarded directly to Ugandan institutions – research generating critical knowledge for treatments and interventions both locally and in the United States. Makerere University provides decades of leadership in NIH-funded research and research ethics training and deep contextual expertise that cannot be developed through U.S.-based training alone. Oxford's Ethox Centre contributes recognized expertise in global health ethics and international networks that promote harmonized ethical standards across U.S.- and internationally-funded research. The program will deepen trainees’ scholarly skills, foster leadership capacity, and create networking opportunities. The focus is global health ethics, with emphasis on infectious disease ethics and advanced research ethics – areas directly supporting ethical conduct of NIH-funded research generating knowledge essential for managing diseases affecting Americans (e.g., HIV prevention strategies now used in the U.S.). Ten postdocs will spend modular time at JHU, Oxford, Makerere, and their home institution, completing collaborative scholarly writing, a global health ethics leadership project, and professional networking. The first 4.5 months at JHU will include courses and seminars, preparing bioethics manuscripts, team science, and drafting a plan for their leadership project. The one month at Oxford’s Ethox Centre will include mentoring, integration into the Global Health Bioethics Network, participation in the Oxford Global Health & Bioethics International Conference, and organizing a workshop on emerging ethics topics. During the 11.5 months at home, fellows will focus on implementation of their leadership project while participating in biweekly mentoring and presenting works-in-progress. They will join quarterly leadership webinars and engage virtually with alumni and Africa-based scholars to organize a Scholars Network. The final month at Makerere will include participation in the Annual National Research Ethics Conference (ANREC), presenting research, networking with bioethics faculty, and teaching Fogarty trainees. Consistent mentoring, support, and feedback by program faculty and local mentors undergirds the program. By leveraging our experience and commitments to advanced bioethics training, and well-developed institutional relationships, we propose this collaborative program to further the capacity of emergin...
