One of the things we have failed to notice in the evolution of global health ethics has been the neglect of research and implementation partnerships as the context for a wide range of unfair and sometimes inequitable practices.
There aren’t many frameworks, benchmarks or standards on best practices for governmental, corporate, non-profit, or academic collaborations. This is particularly true for international collaborative research and innovation involving low- and middle-income countries.
This is where the Research Fairness Initiative (RFI) hopes to make a difference. The RFI is a comprehensive guide for organizations to assess their performance in 15 specific domains of fairness in research partnerships and to guide their internal learning for practice and policy improvement. To help us navigate the Research Fairness Initiative, we have brought on a special guest, Dr. Jim Lavery.
In this episode of The Last Mile podcast, you will:
- Hear about the unique career journey of Dr. Jim Lavery and how he started working within the neglected tropical diseases space
- Learn about the Research Fairness Initiative
- Understand some of the benefits and challenges of using the RFI
- Learn about how the work Dr. Jim Lavery does contributes to the last mile of NTD elimination and control
