EFFECT OF HABITAT DISTURBANCE ON POPULATION DYNAMICS AND COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF RODENTS IN MABIRA CENTRAL FOREST RESERVE, UGANDA
REFNo: NS73ES
1.Assess rodent composition, diversity, and habitat association in undisturbed forest, disturbed forest, and adjacent agricultural/fallow fields in Mabira central forest reserve(MCFR).
2.Determine the influence of habitat structure/disturbance, and seasonal changes on recruitment, and survival of the dominant rodent species in MCFR.
3.Determine the effect of habitat structure/disturbance, and rainfall patterns on the breeding/reproduction patterns of the dominant rodent species in MCFR.
4.Investigate the movement and ranging patterns of the dominant rodent species in MCFR.

•Describe diversity, prevalence, distribution and public health importance of heamoflagellates and filarial worms identified in rodents and shrews of MCFR.
•Investigate factors that affect prevalence and distribution of heamoflagellates and filarial worms in rodents and shrews in MCFR.
•Investigate the relationship between rodent borne zoonotics prevailing with in adjacent communities Vs heamoflagellates and filarial worms identified in rodents and shrews.

Human Generosity Among the Ik
REFNo: SS201ES
Based on two empirical studies, conducted in WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) populations in the USA and in the Netherlands, we hypothesize that perceived fitness interdependence (PFI) is the primary psychological motivator of altruistic or generous actions in human cooperation and that PFI varies according to both the situational and relational contexts of human interactions. This existing empirical evidence needs corroboration in diverse cultural and ecological conditions in order to support the universal value of the hypothesis. The current study will serve as a pilot to determine whether the PFI scales that we have developed would be adaptable to non-WEIRD populations.

A Stakeholder analysis of chronic Lung Disease (CLD) management in Uganda
REFNo: HS232ES
Objectives of the research project:
Overall Aim
The overall goal of the project which this study aims to inform, is to improve the management of CLD in Uganda. This study seeks to analyze the current CLD policy in Uganda, identify gaps in the policy formulation that may translate to gaps in policy implementation. The aim is to generate evidence that can be used to develop targeted, informed interventions to strengthen CLD programmatic management in this setting. Specifically, the study proposes to achieve this through:
1. Stakeholder analysis and mapping to characterize the actors and networks, their linkages and relative influence and how this affects CLD policy in Uganda.
2. An exploration of the policies for the management and implementation of policies to address CLD in the public health system in Uganda.
Stakeholders in this study will be limited to at least one representative from; the Uganda ministry of health; from academia; funders and MOH implementing partners and from civil society to help understand and describe the policy context and to clinical heads from Kampala city based health facilities as representatives to help describe and understand the clinical context.
