T<\/strong>raining and R<\/strong>esources in R<\/strong>esearch E<\/strong>thics E<\/strong>valuation –\u00a0TRREE<\/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>\n

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>\n

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>\n

Check TRREE regularly as new national supplements and training modules in new languages are being put online.<\/p>\n

Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u00a0and other researchers, students, research ethics committees and regulatory agencies.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0as well as potential benefits. Research risks are mostly borne by the research participants who therefore deserve to be protected.<\/p>\n

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>\n
