“… 17 This highlights how instruments of normative governance (eg, research oversight and ethics review) ought to be guided by a principle of subsidiarity, which is itself predicated on efforts to build local capacity. 18 As others have noted, this requires that research teams actively engage with affected communities while planning research to determine suitable trial designs that best reflect normative requirements. 11…”

R&D during public health emergencies: the value(s) of trust, governance and collaboration

In January 2021, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director–general of the WHO, warned that the world was ‘on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure [that] will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world’s poorest countries’. We are now past the brink. Many high-income countries have vaccinated their populations (which, in some cases, includes third and even fourth doses) and are loosening public health and social measures, while low-income and middle-income countries are struggling to secure enough supply of vaccines to administer first doses. While injustices abound in the deployment and allocation of COVID-19 vaccines, therapies and diagnostics, an area that has hitherto received inadequate ethical scrutiny concerns the upstream structures and mechanisms that govern and facilitate the research and development (R&D) associated with these novel therapies, vaccines and diagnostics. Much can be learnt by looking to past experiences with the rapid deployment of R&D in the context of public health emergencies. Yet, much of the ‘learning’ from past epidemics and outbreaks has largely focused on technical or technological innovations and overlooked the essential role of important normative developments; namely, the importance of fostering multiple levels of trust, strong and fair governance, and broad research collaborations. In this paper, we argue that normative lessons pertaining to the conduct of R&D during the 2014–2016 Ebola epidemic in West Africa provide important insights for how R&D ought to proceed to combat the current COVID-19 pandemic and future infectious disease threats.

“…The term “community” in HSR can be described in two ways: (1) as the collaborative body of those who are affected by the health issues to be studied and (2) as a collaborative group of those who decided to vest in the health concerns of others. 2 Community Engagement is defined as the process of working collaboratively with and through groups of people affiliated by geographic proximity, special interest, or similar situations to address issues affecting the well-being of those people. It is a powerful vehicle for bringing about environmental and behavioral changes that will improve the health of the community and its members.…”

The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the importance of didactic and experiential training in community engagement for students conducting Health Services Research (HSR) in pharmacy. The incorporation of community-based learning (CBL) courses can be beneficial for graduate students because they provide an opportunity to gain important skills in stakeholder engagement and developing sustainable research partnerships. Early exposure and mentorship of graduate students through CBL courses could minimize the risk of students entering communities in their future careers with harmful tactics such as stereotypes and implicit biases. In this paper, we draw upon previous research to identify an educational gap in community preparedness. Accordingly, we developed a community-engagement course for masters and doctoral graduate students in the HSR program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy. This paper provides an example of how other graduate programs may incorporate training in community engagement within their curriculum. In addition, we summarize how CBL courses can help address foundational graduate student knowledge gaps and offer suggestions for the formation of a CBL course.

“…As a principle of justice, solidarity has the purpose of protecting the human dignity of each and every human life, in the reality of our interconnectedness and mutual vulnerabilities (de Campos 2017). It is the recognition of human dignity, vulnerability, and interdependence that calls for persons and the communities they form to commit to mutual flourishing (Brakman 2020). This means that solidarity requires, as a matter of justice, that both individuals and institutions be committed to promote the good of each and every personalso known as the common good (Brakman 2020).…”

Solidarity therefore entails, in the reality of global health justice, a shared commitment, among all global health stakeholders and institutions, to uphold the good and the flourishing of each individual in every community.…”

“…Subsidiarity is a structural principle that clearly locates the proper level of decisional authority among multilevel stakeholders, according to a bottom-up approach (Brakman 2020). Subsidiarity recognizes the value of first trying to solve problems locally and moving up to higher levels of governance only as necessary (de Campos 2017).…”
