KFPE: A Guide for Transboundary Research Partnerships
Transboundary and intercultural research in partnership is challenging. This is particularly the case when cooperation takes place between rich and poor countries. This guide is based on 11 principles and 7 key questions.
The Global Code of Conduct for Research in Resource-Poor Settings, aims to achieve fair partnerships in research, and has been adopted by both the European Commission and the European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP). The code has been designed specifically to combat ‘ethics dumping’ – the practice of exporting unethical research practices to lower-income settings. It provides guidance to researchers across all disciplines, and presents clear, short statements in simple language to achieve the highest possible level of accessibility.
