Good Health Research Practices (GHRP) is a recent development in response to the challenges faced by researchers in public health in adhering to guidelines such as the GCP. While the ethical principles remain the same, the paperwork and documentation may not be relevant to public health research. Thus, GHRP is a novel training Developed by the World Health Organization’s Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (WHO-TDR) tailored to the needs of public health researchers urging them and equipping them to maintain ethics and quality in their research. It incorporates the challenges unique to health systems research with multi-disciplinary methods. Going beyond clinical trials and caters to a wider range of health researchers than GCP.
eGHRP course is to impart knowledge and skills for the application of ethical and quality principles in the design, conduct, recording, and reporting of health research in humans. The course covers all aspects from writing the protocol to disseminating results and includes study management skills addressing specific issues in public health research. There is a need for this training both to promote good research practices as well as to build the capacity of public health researchers in ethical and quality standards during research.
Individuals or groups of up to 3 participants from an institution are eligible to apply. Each application must be accompanied by a research proposal conducting health research with human participants.
