Affordances of makerspaces influencing biomedical undergraduate engineering students' design learning and curriculum localization in Uganda and the USA
REFNo: SIR448ES
Main Objective
To explore and compare how the affordances of the DesignCube makerspaces at Makerere University and Duke University influence biomedical engineering students' design learning and the localization of curriculum by the end of the study period.
Specific Objectives
1.To determine the perceived affordances of the DesignCube makerspaces among undergraduate biomedical engineering students at Makerere University and Duke University within the first four weeks of their engagement in the design coursework.
2.To assess the actual affordances of the DesignCube maker spaces after students’ full engagement with the prototyping and design coursework by the end of the academic term.
3.To identify the factors that foster or limit student engagement with the DesignCube makerspaces at Makerere University and Duke University by the completion of the study.
4.To evaluate how the affordances identified in each context (Makerere and Duke) inform the localization and adaptation of curriculum and pedagogy for design learning in biomedical engineering by the final stage of the study.

Improving understanding of Capacity to consent to sensitive biomedical Research among adolescents in Rakai Uganda (ICARE)
REFNo: SS3447ES
Aim 1: Sampling from RCCS-experienced and RCCS-naïve households, and using the MacCAT-CR, examine adolescent capacity to consent to biomedical research and correlates of that capacity.
1.a: Compare capacity to consent among early, middle, and late adolescents and their guardians.
1.b: Assess correlates of capacity, including actionable factors such as health literacy and education and biomedical-related factors such as PrEP eligibility, use, awareness, beliefs, peer norms, and stigma.
Aim 2: Using a systematic qualitative analysis – guided by our conceptual framework for mapping age differences – examine processes of decision-making around biomedical prevention and biomedical research (e.g., stigma, understanding of biomedical prevention and research risks and benefits and constructs like randomization, privacy, safety and autonomy) among guardians and early, middle and late adolescents.
Aim 3: In partnership with US and Uganda researchers, and IRB members, construct a digital toolkit to support decision making regarding key aspects of minor consent in low-resource settings.
