The Role of Research Funders in Promoting Ethical International Health Research Collaborations
BACKGROUND: International health research collaborations (IHRCs) between High Income countries (HICs) and Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are essential in global health research, yet ethical challenges including the inequitable sharing of rewards and burdens among the research actors remain insufficiently addressed. We explored the notices of funding opportunities and official guidance documents of three major research funders to assess h…
Perceptions of lifelong physical activity and the physical literacy journey
In recent years, the physical literacy (PL) journeys of children and young people (CYP) have become increasingly relevant to physical activity (PA), physical education (PE) and sport settings. While research has documented understanding of PL among specific stakeholders, such as physical educators and sports coaches, no such research exists regarding the voices of CYP across the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland and Ireland). As such, expanding…
Strengthening Research Ethics Capacity in West Africa, 2015–2024
This article reviews the development and evolution of Fogarty International Center-funded research ethics training programs in West Africa over the past decade. In response to local and global challenges in bioethics and biomedical research, these programs are fostering ethical awareness, shaping local and national ethics review systems, and enhancing bioethics capacity in the region. These efforts have expanded alongside increased democratic gov…
Ethical Challenges of Advances in Vaccine Delivery Technologies
Strategies to address misinformation and hesitancy about vaccines, including the fear of needles, and to overcome obstacles to access, such as the refrigeration that some vaccines demand, strongly suggest the need to develop new vaccine delivery technologies. But, given widespread distrust surrounding vaccination, these new technologies must be introduced to the public with the utmost transparency, care, and community involvement. Two emerging te…
The Metaphysics of Practice
Wilfrid Sellars (1912–1989) saw the development of his practical philosophy as central to his entire philosophical enterprise—the linchpin to situating the framework of persons within a scientific worldview. The core idea in Sellars’s moral writings is that the moral “ought” is to be understood as a special kind of intention. Specifically, moral judgments are we-intentions, practical commitments one makes “as one of us” or from the communal point…

Who commits the unnaturalistic fallacy
Conscientious objections, the nature of medicine, and the need for reformability
The debate over whether the medical profession should accommodate its members' conscientious objections (COs) has raged on in the bioethics literature and on legislative floors for decades. Unfortunately, participants on all sides of the debate fail to distinguish among different types of CO, a failure that obstructs the view of which cases warrant accommodation and why. In this paper, we identify one type of CO that warrants consideration for ac…
Are all domains created equal? An exploration of stakeholder views on the concept of physical literacy
Differences observed across stakeholder groups underline the importance of developing a shared vision for physical literacy, and the need to clarify and gain consensus on a definition of the term and its domains. Engaging and understanding the voice of stakeholders is critical in ensuring the relevance, ownership of and commitment to physical literacy statement operationalisation
Phantom premise and a shape-shifting ism
quibble at length with Hassoun's formulation of P1, it runs together two sources of obligation: (1) associative ties that bind community members to one another and (2) role-based obligations of leaders
Love thy neighbour? Allocating vaccines in a world of competing obligations
Although a safe, effective, and licensed coronavirus vaccine does not yet exist, there is already controversy over how it ought to be allocated. Justice is clearly at stake, but it is unclear what justice requires in the international distribution of a scarce vaccine during a pandemic. Many are condemning ‘vaccine nationalism’ as an obstacle to equitable global distribution. We argue that limited national partiality in allocating vaccines will be…
Institutional Approaches to Research Integrity in Ghana
Still as divided as ever? Northern Ireland, football and identity 20 years after the Good Friday Agreement
The signing of the Belfast-Good Friday Agreement in 1998 was widely welcomed by those that interpreted it as offering Northern Ireland the prospect of a fresh start, free from inter-ethnic violence that had blighted the country for almost 80 years. Soon it began to be seen by some observers as the genesis too of a ‘Northern Irish’ identity, as the community at large came to reconcile themselves to their common lives in Northern Ireland. Sport was…
