The new ARESA programme aims to enhance practical skills by exposing trainees to fundamentals of research ethics, REC deliberations and conducting protocol review exercises. An important outcome is the development of a package of research ethics training materials by trainees for their home institutions. The programme hopes to contribute to a culture of ethically responsible research in southern Africa through network development, dissemination of information, public awareness and outreach.
