Descripción del proyecto
Un marco de valores para acelerar la investigación durante crisis mundiales
La pandemia de COVID-19 puso de manifiesto la necesidad de planificar la vida en una era de nuevas crisis mundiales, lo que requiere respuestas de investigación rápidas que no comprometan la ética y la integridad. El proyecto PREPARED, financiado con fondos europeos, coordina una red internacional de financiadores de investigación privados y públicos, científicos, responsables políticos, editores, organizaciones internacionales, organizaciones no gubernamentales y ciudadanos para analizar los retos emergentes en el ámbito de la ética y la integridad de la investigación durante pandemias y otras crisis mundiales. Los resultados fundamentarán un marco de ética e integridad que ayudará a acelerar la investigación futura y, al mismo tiempo, a salvaguardar a sus participantes y la confianza en la ciencia. Tres artistas colaboran en el proyecto a fin de garantizar que todos los resultados y los materiales de formación sean muy atractivos.
Objetivo
"The overall goal of the PREPARED project is to develop an operational ethics and integrity framework, which safeguards key ethical values, supports a rapid and effective research response to crises and improves overall pandemic preparedness. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen outlined plans to cope with ""an era of pandemics"" by developing ""Europe-wide fast-reaction system designed to respond more quickly to emerging medical threats"". Fast reaction systems, including accelerated research, are likely to face significant ethics and integrity challenges. The PREPARED project will create an international network of research funders (private and public), researchers, policy makers, publishers and citizens (a) to identify, analyse and validate the emergent research ethics and integrity challenges in the context of sudden, unexpected and global crisis, (b) to facilitate bottom-up, solution-focused, participatory dialogue, (c) to develop a values-based framework for research ethics and integrity in a global crisis which supports rapid and effective decision-making whilst maintaining scientific reliability and avoiding short-cuts in the protection of research participants, (d) to propose policy options at the EU level and tailored support for relevant stakeholders in the form of operational guidelines and short complements to existing codes and (e) to achieve influential strategic engagement through high-level synergy building and the provision of engaging training material to ensure uptake of the project's outputs so as to improve overall preparedness for global crises. Given that this is a Coordination and Support Action, the high-level consortium consists to 47% of research institutions (given that this is a CSA) and to 53% of organisations which can significantly contribute to and then leverage results (e.g. UNESCO, EDCTP, RIS)."
