WHO Collaborating Centres
Special Project
International compilation of online courses in research ethics
The University of Miami Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy is a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre in Ethics and Global Health Policy. It is one of seven in the world, initially designated in 2008 and re-designated in 2012 and 2016.
According to the WHO, a Collaborating Centre is “...an institution designated by the Director-General of WHO to form part of an inter-institutional collaborative network set up by WHO in support of its programme at the country, intercountry, regional, interregional and global levels, as appropriate. But there is more to it than that. In line with the WHO policy and strategy of technical cooperation, a WHO collaborating centre must also participate in the strengthening of country resources, in terms of information, services, research and training, in support of national health development.”
As a Collaborating Centre, UM’s Institute for Bioethics is working with colleagues in around the world on education, curriculum development and other projects.
