Which particular scientist or group of scientists has been working to develop the Ebola vaccine?

Defining the problem, including background information or introduction: This component should briefly introduce the topic by providing enough information to support later sections in the paper. For example, with the Ebola vaccine, are you defining the problem as a technological one (e.g., developing an effective vaccine) or focusing on it as a societal problem (should Americans abroad be given priority for treatment, or should Africans?). Emphasize why this problem is important to science and society (remember research has to be funded – why is this worth funding). In your introduction, you should provide background information on the history of the topic. For example, background on the nature of Ebola infections, how it is transmitted, and the history of any societal conflicts that have occurred when western medicine is introduced into developing countries. C. Scientists involved in tackling the problem and the techniques they use to do so: This section should highlight several scientists that are currently working on the problem, as well as the techniques they are using to study it. You do not have to be detailed in your techniques discussion, but provide the basics of what the technique can be used to demonstrate or the product of the technique. Which particular scientist or group of scientists has been working to develop the Ebola vaccine? Are they using molecular techniques such as transformation or transduction to synthesize the vaccine? Has it been tested on any animal models other than humans? How did they first arrive at the idea for the vaccine? AND / OR The stakeholders that are most affected by the problem: Here, you will identify the group or groups of people that are most affected by the topic that you are studying. This could be a population of people, a certain demographic within a population, a particular social class, members of a specific profession, etc. For the Ebola example, important stakeholders for development or distribution of the vaccine could be the African population where outbreaks have been occurring, health care workers that potentially come into contact with patients, sectors of the population (young, old) that are more at risk for Ebola, the companies that will manufacture the vaccine in the future, the American population (if an outbreak were to occur here), etc… identify who you think are the more important stakeholders and justify your view. D. Proposed solutions to the problem: Support an argument for a particular solution providing evidence for why you believe this is the best solution. You must also provide alternative solutions/areas of research, weighing the specific pros and cons for each. Solutions often raise additional questions that must be overcome and these should be addressed as well. For example, suppose you support the use of experimental Ebola treatments based on an epidemiological model that does not take into consideration the nationality of those to be treated. What evidence supports this solution? How will the concern that Westerners use people from developing countries for “experimental testing” for medical technologies be addressed? What other ethical challenges could be raised from this proposed solution? F. Future challenges and conclusions. Closing remarks and challenges for the field of research.G. Literature Cited (10 appropriate references minimum): You will cite only sources that you refer to in the text of your essay. Please make sure you utilize reliable bibliographic resources including books and research articles. Using the web is fine as long as the sources are reliable (see “Reference Guidelines” document) and are likely the same as were appropriate for the Annotated Bibliography assignment. For example, you are allowed to use the websites of research institutions, universities, and governmental agencies, as long as there is some level of peer review or fact checking involved and the sites are not clearly biased on one side of the issue or another. Electronic or print scholarly journals are nearly always acceptable academic sources.
