target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TRREE</a> is headed by a consortium of interested persons from Northern and Southern countries. It aims to provide basic training, while building capacities, on the ethics of health research involving humans so that research meets highest standards of ethics and promotes the welfare of participants. TRREE achieves this goal primarily by developing a training programme with local collaborators. In its initial stages TRREE focused primarily, but not exclusively, on the needs of African countries.</p> <p>The training modules are available on a free and open-access basis. Most modules are provided in several languages: English, French, German and Portuguese.</p> <p>Beside the training modules, TRREE also offers national supplements providing a detailed overview of the national legislation and regulation of health research in several countries from Africa and Europe.</p> <p>Check TRREE regularly as new national supplements and training modules in new languages are being put online.</p> <h3>Approach</h3> <p>The primary goal of TRREE training modules is to provide training and resources to those who ensure the protection of the rights and interests of individuals and communities serving as participants in health research. The training material is designed for all those involved in collaborative research involving humans including physician-investigators and other researchers, students, research ethics committees and regulatory agencies.</p> <p>The modules are based on well-established principles of research ethics, as expressed in documents such as the Declaration of Helsinki. Research ethics operates within the universal human rights framework as elaborated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), and other international human rights instruments. Research on humans often involves risks as well as potential benefits. Research risks are mostly borne by the research participants who therefore deserve to be protected.</p> <p>Ensuring appropriate protection of research participants while not unduly limiting potentially promising health research requires awareness of local and international guidelines and critical assessment and thinking. Many actors have a collaborative role to play in this and TRREE intends to provide them with a basic training on their specific responsibilities.</p> <h3>Objectives</h3> <p>At the end of Module 1 on the Introduction to Research, participants will:</p> <ul> <li>be able to identify values and concepts of ethics relevant to the conduct of research involving humans</li> <li>be able to identify and consult relevant normative documents</li> <li>be able to understand the importance of ethical evaluation in the promotion of the highest ethical standards and the protection of humans who participate in research</li> <li>understand the role and mandate of research ethics committees</li> </ul> <p>At the end of Module 2.1 on the Research Ethics Evaluation, participants will:</p> <ul> <li>understand the role of research ethics committees in the promotion of ethical research and the protection of research participants;</li> <li>understand the roles and responsibilities of members of research ethics committees; and</li> <li>be able to contribute to research ethics evaluation based on the application of principles of ethics and relevant normative documents.</li> </ul> <p>At the end of Module 3.1 on Informed Consent, all participants will:</p> <ul> <li>understand the importance of informed consent for participation in research on humans;</li> <li>know when the requirement of individual informed consent can be waived</li> </ul> <p>At the end of Module 3.1 on Informed Consent, researchers will:</p> <ul> <li>know how to seek informed consent from competent potential research participants</li> <li>know how to seek informed consent for potential research participants who are unable to give consent;</li> </ul> <p>At the end of Module 3.1 on Informed Consent, researcher ethics committee members will:</p> <ul> <li>be able to evaluate the informed consent provisions in a study protocol;</li> <li>be able to evaluate a consent form.</li> </ul> <p>At the end of Module 3.2 on Good Clinical Practice (GCP), participants will:</p> <ul> <li>understand the basic elements of clinical research in general and of clinical trials in particular</li> <li>understand the basic elements of GCP in clinical trials</li> <li>be aware of and understand the technical terms, language and wording standardized by ICH and regulatory bodies in clinical trials</li> <li>be able to identify and put in practice the international quality standards required in clinical trials</li> <li>understand the roles and responsibilities of the sponsor (including their third party contractors) and investigators involved in clinical trials.
