> The course is sponsored by the Wellcome Trust as part of its programme
> to support research into the ethics of biomedical science.
>
> The aims of the Summer School are to:
>
> *	Explore some of the ethical, social, legal and policy issues
> that arise in public health in both the domestic and international
> context, and to examine how upcoming events (such as the emergence of
> new infectious diseases or the establishment of the NHS's electronic
> health records) may raise new questions and challenges;
> *	Expand awareness of a variety of research methods that can be
> employed in biomedical ethics research;
> *	Stimulate and provide practical advice on grant applications to
> the Biomedical Ethics funding programme;
> *	Highlight excellence in and explore the application of
> biomedical ethics research.
>
> Who is the course designed for?
>
> Applications are invited from junior researchers (ie PhDs, new postdocs)
> in disciplines relevant to biomedical ethics, including (though not
> restricted to) the following: philosophy, social sciences, law,
> political sciences and theology.  We will consider applications from
> those based in the UK and those in developing countries.
>
> Applications are also invited from established researchers in the
> biomedical sciences who wish to move into the field of biomedical
> ethics.
>
> What will the course cover?
>
> The School will involve a mixture of plenary and research methods
> sessions.  The plenaries will address the state of public health
> science; researching the ethical, legal, social and policy implications
> of developments in public health; the ethics of research and treatment;
> and, getting research into policy and practice.  In addition, there will
> be sessions on the changes to the Biomedical Ethics grants programme, a
> grants workshop (looking at what makes a good grant application and how
> to get funded), a presentation from a current Biomedical Ethics
> grantholder, and a practical exercise that looks at the grant funding
> process from the Funding Committee's point of view.
>
