Type: article
Abstract: Advancing doctoral and postdoctoral international bioethics training in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) is essential to address the emerging and reemerging healthcare needs of local populations. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for sustenance of global collaboration and rapid adaptability in the future to further prioritize research frameworks to benefit LMICs. Thus, the purpose of the manuscript is to share the successes, challenges, and future considerations of building bioethics research capacity in seven federally funded training programs supported by the Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health D43 mechanism. We advocate for continued investment in training programs recognizing that it requires committed time and effort, specialized funding opportunities, cultural sensitivity, and interdisciplinary faculty support both domestically and internationally. This investment supports cross-disciplinary collaboration, enhances the ethical conduct of research and recognizes the importance of context-sensitive research that generates evidence-based data for global solutions.
