The Bloomberg School of Public Health and Bioethics Institute, in collaboration with the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Clinical Bioethics, are pleased to announce the availability of a one year training program in research ethics for scientists from sub-Saharan Africa. The fellowship will provide funding for scientists to study bioethics and research ethics, and also to do an independent project in their home country related to research ethics. The program is directed by Drs. Nancy Kass and Adnan Hyder of the Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Experienced and well-qualified professionals, executives and leaders in all fields are invited to apply for admission to the Wits Philosophy Department's challenging part-time Postgraduate Programme in Applied Ethics, which will commence in February 2002.* This programme, which will develop the participants' capacity to reason critically and constructively about ignificant ethical issues, leads to a Postgraduate Diploma (by coursework) in 11/2 years, or a Master of Arts degree (by coursework and supervised research report) in 2-21/2 years.
