Predictors and Outcomes of patients lost to follow-up from HIV care and treatment in Uganda
REFNo: HS130ES

1. To describe outcomes (HIV-related &other death, self-transfers and disengaged from care) of PLHIV LTFU from HIV care and treatment. 2. To describe the change in cumulative incidence of mortality, retention and ART initiation of HIV-infected patients in Pre-ART care after incorporating outcomes of LTFU patients. 3. To describe the change in cumulative incidence of mortality and retention of HIV-infected patients on ART after incorporating outcomes of LTFU patients. 4. To determine predictors of loss to follow-up among PLHIV in HIV care and treatment at Jinja, Lira, Mubende RRH’s. 5. To determine reasons for engagement or disengagement from HIV care and treatment

Postmortem study on patients with neuropsychiatric manifestations of unknown etiology, nodding syndrome, and other forms of epilepsy who died in Gulu, Kitgum, Lamwo and Pader
REFNo: HS64ES

• Use postmortem examination to determine cause of death in a selected study population. • Use histopathology to describe the post-mortem findings of individuals who die of neuropsychiatric manifestations of unknown origin, NS and other forms of epilepsy in villages with high epilepsy prevalence in Gulu, Kitgum, Lamwo and Pader. • Use histopathology to investigate whether Ov microfilariae are able to penetrate the brain by evaluating histologic tissue for the products of Ov microfilariae

Leadership and Gender: Exploring female students’ lived experiences in leadership in Ugandan public University Councils
REFNo: SS117ES

The main research question of the study is: What are the lived leadership experiences of female student leaders who are members of public university councils in Uganda? 1. Who are female student leaders participating in public university councils in Uganda? 2. How do female student leaders who participate in public university councils in Uganda experience their relations with other council members? 3. What challenges (if any) do female student leaders face on public university councils in Uganda? 4. What lessons can be drawn about gender and leadership from the experiences of female student leaders participating in public university councils in Uganda?

Cohort and entomology studies to estimate longitudinal changes in malaria metrics in Nagongera, Uganda
REFNo: HS119ES

Objectives of epidemiology studies 1. To estimate the incidence of malaria, parasite prevalence, and the molecular force of infection among cohort study participants. 2. To characterize factors determining the malarial force of infection. 3. To determine factors affecting the duration, density, and clinical consequences of blood stage malaria infection. 4. To assess the associations between overnight travel and the risk of malaria infection. 5. To estimate measures of transmission intensity including the human biting rate, sporozoite rate, and the entomological inoculation rate at the household level. 6. To characterize the species composition of mosquito vectors and the host source of mosquito blood meals. Objectives of transmission studies 7. To characterize factors associated with gametocyte production. 8. To evaluate the impacts of human, parasite, and mosquito factors on parasite infectivity to mosquito vectors. 9. To characterize the human infectious reservoir for malaria. Objectives of immunology studies 10. To measure antibody responses to malaria antigens and associations between antibodies responses and protection from /exposure to infection with malaria parasites. 11. To characterize malaria specific cellular immune responses in naturally exposed children and adults. Objectives of resistance studies 12. To assess the impact of genotypic markers of antimalarial drug resistance on malaria transmission. 13. To assess the impact of genotypic markers of insecticide resistance on malaria transmission.
