Embedding ethics in the governance of transnational health research

Addressing global health threats necessitates ethical and equitable research collaborations between high-income and low-to-middle-income countries. While there is significant work on partnerships between North American/European and Latin American/African nations, there are limited ethics publications on transnational health research collaborations in Asia-Pacific. Through a scoping review and interviews with scientists in the Philippines and Australia, this project will map the actors governing transnational health research and will explore pathways for embedding ethics in the practices of actors and regulators of research partnerships. It will synthesise nodal governance and embedded ethics approaches to generate pragmatic recommendations for promoting equitable transnational health research.
