Abstract
Research partnerships between institutions in the Global North and institutions in the Global South have many potential benefits, including sharing of knowledge and resources. However, such partnerships are traditionally exploitative to varying degrees. In order to promote equity in South-North research partnerships, it is necessary to learn from the experiences of researchers collaborating internationally. This study analyzed transcripts from eleven semi-structured qualitative interviews with researchers working at Clínica de Familia La Romana, an institution in the Dominican Republic with decades of experience with research and research partnerships with institutions from the Global North. The findings of this study suggest that respect for resources invested in research, as well as for the researchers and institutions themselves, are vital components to a successful global health research partnership. These findings have implications for individual research partnerships, as well as the policies of journals and institutions providing funding that affect these partnerships.
全球北方机构与全球南方机构之间的研究伙伴关系有许多潜在的好处,包括知识 和资源共享。然而,这种伙伴关系在传统上具有不同程度的剥削性。为了促进南北研究伙伴关系的公平性,有必要学习国际合作研究人员的经验。本研究分析了 11 个半结构式定性访谈的记录,访谈对象是在拉罗马纳家庭诊所(Clínica de Familia La Romana)工作的研究人员,该诊所位于多米尼加共和国,拥有数十年的研究经验以及与全球北方机构建立研究伙伴关系的经验。本研究的结果表明,尊重研究投入的资源以及研究人员和机构本身,是全球健康研究伙伴关系取得成功的重要因素。这些发现对单个研究伙伴关系以及影响这些伙伴关系的期刊和资助机构的政策都有影响。
期刊介绍:
Developing World Bioethics provides long needed case studies, teaching materials, news in brief, and legal backgrounds to bioethics scholars and students in developing and developed countries alike. This companion journal to Bioethics also features high-quality peer reviewed original articles. It is edited by well-known bioethicists who are working in developing countries, yet it will also be open to contributions and commentary from developed countries'' authors.
Developing World Bioethics is the only journal in the field dedicated exclusively to developing countries'' bioethics issues. The journal is an essential resource for all those concerned about bioethical issues in the developing world. Members of Ethics Committees in developing countries will highly value a special section dedicated to their work.
