This up-to-date and comprehensive website from the American Journal of Bioethics covers a wide range of issues in bioethics, including articles on research ethics. The site is very useful for monitoring current controversies and developments but other links provide more useful resources specifically related to research in developing countries (such as the list of educational resources).

This website offers information on a programme at the Harvard School of Public Health. It includes material on the principles of research ethics, informed consent, responsibilities to the study community, mechanisms of approval and the role of funders. Also available are a selection of case studies, an email discussion group, and links to a useful selection of readings on research ethics.
