Ethical Action in Global Research Tookit
Our researchers played a key role in developing an ethical toolkit to inform and support ethical choices in global research, particularly for research conducted in complex, low-income or fragile settings. The toolkit reflects a series of discussions held with more than 200 global researchers from more than 30 contries, and promotes a values-driven, solution-focused and iterative approach to ethics.

The Global Health Network
The Global Health Network is an international network aiming to drive faster progress by sharing methods and processes to raise standards, remove duplication and enable faster transfer of evidence into practice. These aims are facilitated through a digital platform consisting of two highly connected elements: online knowledge hubs and training and teaching resources.

Supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, this online resource offers e-learning courses that are designed to cover every step, process, and issue that needs to be understood in order to conduct high-quality research. Every course is written to be globally applicable, for all diseases and all regions. Each course is carefully researched to provide high-quality material that is peer reviewed and regularly updated. A certificate is issued once a minimum of 80% is achieved in the course quizzes.
