About Us

The Program is sponsored by Union Graduate College Bioethics Program (Schenectady, New York) in partnership with the Department of Medical History and Ethics of Vilnius University.
It is supported by NIH Research Grant R25-TW 7085 funded by the Fogarty International Center, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
The purpose of the Advanced Certificate Program is to provide a knowledge base and a skill set in research ethics and international bioethics that will allow students to function as independent research ethicists in their home countries.
It will also prepare students to facilitate institutional change with regard to ethical practices in international health research. The courses were developed by, and are taught by, teams of American and European experts and are designed
for Central and Eastern European students, and other students from countries of the former Soviet Union. The certificate courses are offered via distance learning, on-line, through the Union Graduate College Bioethics Program in partnership with the Department of Medical History and Ethics of Vilnius
University. Short seminars are offered on-site at Vilnius University. Except for these seminars, the Program design permits students to complete the certificate (or Masters Degree) without leaving their homes or jobs.
