Health Research Ethics and Integrity Needs, Training and Practices in Rwanda

Although the guidelines from Rwanda National Ethics committee on Ethical Clearance are available, there are no publicly available biomedical research ethics (RE) guidelines in Rwanda. Additionally, the governance framework for ethics is still in its infancy with several institutions involved in clinical trials and clinical research regulations and authorisations. Furthermore, there is no undergraduate or postgraduate training in bioethics at University of Rwanda todate at the public institution in Rwanda. Therefore, this datasets contains interview guides, participant information sheet and example of informed consent that were provided to participants for the in depth interviews with undergraduate and postgraduate students, lecturers and course coordinators, deans and heads of departments to document the needs, education and learning of research ethics and training in Rwanda.
