Bacterial and Host Heterogeneity in TB latency, persistence and progression
REFNo: HS3039ES
Objective 1: Determine the extent to which household transmission is responsible for co-prevalent and incident TB cases caused by Mtb strains that are genetically distinct from those isolated from the index cases within the same household.
Objective 2: Investigate the in vitro immune phenotype of transmitted versus not-transmitted Mtb strains in households stratifying for HIV status.
Objective 3: Characterize the innate macrophage response to high and low transmission strains and the T-cell response in persons with known household exposure to high and low transmission isolates and the impact of HIV infection.
Objective 4: Identify the component of Mtb genes that aid in bacterial survival in aerosols.
Objective 5: Investigate the bacterial factors underlying divergence in the host response to high and low transmission isolates.
Objective 6: Determine the impact of Mtb strain phenotype (eg Mtb-HT v Mtb-LT) and host heterogeneity (risk of progression signatures, co-morbidities) on:
6.1. The distribution of stages of Mtb infection and disease in exposed HHC: the proportion of MTBI that express PREDICT29, a risk of progression signature; ACS-COR, an inflammatory signature; subclinical TB and active TB.
6.2. The risk and timing of progression from MTBI to TB.
6.3. The extent and nature (eg cavitation) of pulmonary disease in TB index cases; the duration of inflammation; and the consequent short- and long-term impairment in pulmonary function.
These studies could permit the development of individualized approaches based on the host and the bacterium to diagnosis, targeting of preventive therapy, and treatment of active TB.
Objective 7: Profile the lung milieu among individuals infected with either Mtb-HT or Mtb-LT in order to identify immune mediators associated with transmission heterogeneity.

Exploring how climate change impacts on girls’ lives, with a focus on education.
REFNo: SS1917ES
3. Determine the extent to which education – and/or other sources of information – inform girls’ (and their households’) decision-making on coping strategies and adaptative capacities.,2. Understand how climate impacts shape girls’ and households’ decision-making, coping strategies and adaptive capacities, including how girls’ education is impacted in these processes.,1. Establish the climate-induced impacts experienced by girls, their households, and their communities, with reference to how these have changed over time, whether girls think they can be adapted to and how the climate may impact on the girls’ education. ,We aim to provide evidence to inform Plan International’s wider work and agenda on climate change and education, as noted above. We propose to utilise existing evidence from our Real Choices, Real Lives study and undertake additional data collection that specifically explores the impacts of climate change (and in doing so explores adaptation, losses and damages).,
