Fogarty-Funded Research Ethics Education in Latin America and the Caribbean: Progress Despite Ongoing Challenges

Abstract

Ten years have passed since the last regional assessment of the state of Fogarty International Center-funded research ethics education and challenges facing research ethics in Latin America and the Caribbean basin. Program directors and faculty from four international research ethics education programs met in Spring 2024 to discuss their progress, challenges, and future priorities. The themes that emerged from these discussions were the structural difficulties faced by regional ethicists, the use of pedagogical innovations to mitigate different barriers faced by fellows, and the need to anticipate future challenges for the region including climate change.
