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.

Optimizing Nephroblastoma treatment outcomes in Uganda
REFNo: HS822ES
Primary Objectives:
o To determine the one-year survival of children with pathology confirmed nephroblastoma treated with multidisciplinary, stage-based care in Uganda.
o Assess the factors associated with morbidity and mortality among children with nephroblastoma.
Secondary Objectives:
o Characterize the frequency and spectrum of other malignancies that present similar to Nephroblastoma
o Characterize the social needs and health literacy of nephroblastoma patients and their caregivers at the UCI
o Assess quality measures of a multidisciplinary care, including:
- Treatment timing benchmarks following guidelines developed for UCI
- Adherence to treatment plan and elimination of loss to follow-up
o Assess social needs and provide a patient navigator for families of children with nephroblastoma and reduce the non-clinical barriers to care for children with nephroblastoma
Exploratory Objectives:
o To collect plasma for future studies evaluating circulating tumor DNA as a tool for diagnosis of pediatric kidney cancers and monitoring of patients with nephroblastoma.
o Collect stool specimens for future studies to define baseline factors in the stool microbiome that are associated with neutropenic fevers, sepsis and 12 months survival using combination of sequencing methods and stool ova and parasites evaluation.
