The theme of the first Yale International AIDS
Summer Institute, "The Ethics of International AIDS Research: Contemporary
Practices and Controversies," responds to the increasing interest of researchers
to explore and address the ethical questions emerging in the field of
international AIDS research. In recent years, there has been an increasing
awareness of the ethical significance of the great imbalances in the distribution
of wealth among the world's countries and communities. These imbalances
are reflected in the extreme disparities in health resources and standards
of care between and among populations. National policies and international
codes of research ethics have recently been revised substantially in an
effort to cope with these issues; these codes and policies have been and
continue to be subjects of intense controversy. The mission of the Summer
Institute is to enhance the ability of researchers to understand these
complex ethical and regulatory issues and to effectively manage the associated
administrative requirements.
