The adoption of SOPETAR innovations in MNCH service implementation for Bushenyi and Rubirizi Districts.
REFNo: HS427ES

The study seeks to assess the adoption of SOPETAR (scan-orient-plan-equip-train-assess-reflect) innovations so as to identify the high impact components and areas of MNCH services in the existing health structures at the community, health facility, and district levels in Bushenyi and Rubirizi Districts. Specifically, this study aims to: 1) establish the attributes of SOPETAR innovations that were adopted in the existing MNCH services at district health centers in Bushenyi and Rubirizi districts and 2) document how the SOPETAR innovations have been integrated in the MNCH services at district health centers in Bushenyi and Rubirizi districts.

The Babysitters club: Hormonal regulation of shared infant care in mantled guereza
REFNo: NS94ES

This project seeks to determine the role of key social hormones in the facilitation of non-parental infant care in Colobus guereza. It will determine how important hormones are for the expression of infant care and how oxytocin, vasopressin, cortisol and faecal androgens relate to genetic relationships, infant colouration and observed rates of infant care.
