Perceptions of scientific collaboration in transnational HIV research -- an emergent bioethical issue. (360G-Wellcome-094778_Z_10_Z)
The growth of collaborative global health research networks presents a number of ethical issues not previously encountered such as community engagement, global ethics governance, and the ethics of global research collaboration. Recently, researchers and bioethicists have observed that the protections that medical and research ethics aim for are modeled on a western tradition which often prove limited in effect and inadequate in scope especially when cast against a wider backdrop of global healt h, economic inequalities and cultural diversity. These discussions have not been a preserve for researchers and bioethicists. They do take place amongst the public through debates in the media, by politicians and policy makers as well as the general public, including the communities where research is conducted (discussing power relations among scientists, control of research agenda, trusting or mistrusting certain agencies). The proposed project will focus on the experiences of scientists workin g in collaborative global health research initiatives and the public perception of collaboration between local and international scientists as a measure of the way in which the public engages with health research in the broadest sense. The role of the media in informing and shaping this public opinion on collaborations is investigated as part of this inquiry.
