Development of a complex quality improvement intervention for timely blood transfusions for the management of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) in Uganda
REFNo: HS579ES
1. To map out active transfusing facilities and blood centres in two districts in Uganda and create a profile of baseline measures of quality of PPH management and blood transfusion services (e.g. availability of blood, safety of blood, timeliness of referrals of women with PPH, regular measurement of haemoglobin in PPH patients) for each district
2. To determine key barriers to the appropriate management of PPH, including blood transfusion
3. To gain stakeholder buy-in and contribution to a lead-on quality improvement intervention’s design from all levels, with a specific view to feasibility and sustainability

“Establishing a Single-Sex Controlled Human Schistosoma mansoni Infection Model for Uganda: Safety and Dose Finding†(CHI-S-Ug1)
REFNo: HS697ES
Primary objective: To investigate (1) the safety and tolerability and (2) the infectivity of male Schistosoma mansoni (Sm) cercariae in healthy adult Ugandan volunteers with (a) minimal prior exposure to Sm, and (b) intense prior exposure to Sm.
Exploratory objectives: To investigate the kinetics of controlled infection with male Schistosoma mansoni cercariae in healthy adult Ugandan volunteers (a) with minimal prior exposure to Sm, and (b) with intense prior exposure to Sm. To investigate immunological, metabolic and microbiome changes after infection with Schistosoma mansoni male cercariae. To investigate volunteer and wider community understandings of CHI in the context of CHI-S.

FEED THE FUTURE PESTE DES PETITS RUMINANTS VACCINE ASSOCIATE AWARD
REFNo: A77ES
In the course of the pilots, the project will conduct:
• A rapid assessment of existing information and surveillance activities to identify the most relevant actions to reinforce surveillance and epidemiological assessments capacity and information.
• At least one training workshop to enhance skills and establish epidemiological monitoring systems that meet both disease control and project applied research needs.
• Targeted sero-sampling designed for the estimation of the basic reproductive number.
• Participation in the investigation of outbreaks and facilitation of the collection of material for viral isolation and genomic analysis.
• Mapping of virus flows and modeling of disease transmission as an approach to integrating data from diverse sources.
• Areas targeted will be points of high virus circulation and will have substantial levels of PPR antibody; the project will measure the impact of vaccination on herd immunity and the frequency of disease events.
