Training in One Health and Emergency Research Ethics
UoN-OSU MSc in One Health and Emergency Research Ethics (MOHERE)
This study is all about helping researchers understand the important connections between human, animal, and environmental health, especially during health crises like COVID-19, by providing them with training on the ethical issues that come up when studying these areas together.

What this research studies
This research focuses on the interconnectedness of human, animal, plant, microbial, and environmental health, particularly in the context of global health emergencies like COVID-19. It aims to provide training in research ethics to address the unique ethical challenges posed by One Health research, which often involves human and animal subjects. The program will equip researchers and ethics review committees with the necessary skills to effectively evaluate and monitor One Health studies. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, the initiative seeks to enhance the ethical oversight of research that impacts public health.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals involved in health research, including researchers, ethics committee members, and healthcare professionals interested in One Health approaches.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in health research or do not engage with One Health practices may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could improve the ethical standards and oversight of health research, leading to better health outcomes during pandemics and other emergencies.
How similar studies have performed: While the One Health approach is gaining traction, this specific focus on training in research ethics is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
