In partnership with the African Vaccine Regulatory Forum (AVAREF), the MRCT Center completed the first comprehensive training of ethics committee chairs and members selected from across Africa. Conducted as an intensive virtual training, 35 matriculants, representing 18 countries, completed the training. This commitment, and the AVAREF-MRCT Center partnership, represents the importance of the ethical conduct of clinical research, of harmonizing the process of review, and of increasing efficiency and oversight while protecting the individual.
