RCR
Welcome to our platform dedicated to promoting Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) in the Arab region. We provide essential resources and training to empower researchers, educators, and industry professionals in upholding ethical standards and advancing scientific integrity.
Strengthening Research Ethics in Arab Countries
This program highlights the current state of research ethics in Arab countries, focusing on Jordan as a regional hub for the Fogarty Research Ethics Training program. Despite variable research infrastructures, the importance of research ethics in addressing public health challenges, such as rising rates of chronic diseases, is emphasized. The need for robust research practices, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, underscores the imperative for training the next generation of local researchers to combat emerging threats effectively.
