Clinical characterization and preparedness for COVID-19 disease (CCP)
REFNo: HS1041ES
• Describe the clinical features of COVID-19 and monitor the progress of all hospitalized patients including what is working and what is not.
• Describe, where appropriate, the response to treatment, including supportive care and novel therapeutics.
• Observe, where appropriate and feasible, pathogen replication, excretion and evolution, within the host, and identify determinants of severity and transmission using high throughput sequencing of pathogen genomes obtained from respiratory tract, blood, urine, stool and other samples.
• Characterise, where appropriate and feasible, the host responses to infection and therapy over time, including innate and acquired immune responses, levels of immune signaling molecules in relevant body compartments and gene expression profiles in peripheral blood.
• Understand transmissibility and the probabilities of different clinical outcomes following exposure and infection.
• To describe COVID 19 related haematological and biochemical changes

Understanding Community-oriented Prosocial Behaviors in Uganda
REFNo: SS641ES
The proposed study aims to investigate and contextually define relevant categories of prosocial behaviors and the demographics and individual characteristics associated with such prosocial behaviors, in Uganda. There are three major reasons that motivate why this research is much needed:
Firstly, this research will aim to define prosocial behaviors in the context of Uganda and demonstrate methods to capture and categorize them, both of which have currently been defined by Western research. We seek to understand the variations in the way people perceive and engage in prosocial behaviors in an under-researched context and contribute our results to the existing body of literature.
Second, this research will further explore how individual characteristics (both demographics and psychographic) are associated with different contextualized categories of prosocial behaviors. Existing research has largely explored demographic links to some extent but has overlooked the link between other individual differences to the level of engagement with prosocial behaviors.
Finally, the results from the proposed research will have far-reaching impacts for social and community development, including but not limited to community-based groups, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Our research can be easily used to guide the design and framing of communication to encourage engagement in prosocial behavior that promote community development and improve welfare.

COUNTRY-WIDE ESTIMATES OF THE INCIDENCE OF ABORTION AND ABORTION-RELATED MORBIDITY IN UGANDA
REFNo: HS1074ES
To systematically generate reliable nationwide evidence on the scale and distribution of the burden of unsafe abortion in Uganda and its effects, so as to engage policy and decision makers through further discussion of the subject in a amore contextualized manner. Specifically, to establish the incidence and distribution of unsafe abortion in Uganda, to estimate the effects of the burden of unsafe abortion in Uganda (in terms of magnitude of abortion complications) and to provide recommendations for decision makers on future programming for abortion care in Uganda
