Reassessing Mid-Upper Arm Circumference as a Predictor of Nutritional Status and Pregnancy Outcomes among Pregnant Adolescents in Bundibugyo District, Uganda
REFNo: HS7233ES
i. To determine maternal hemoglobin status during pregnancy, MUAC across gestation, and gestational weight gain among pregnant adolescents and adult women attending ANC in Bundibugyo District, Uganda.
ii. To determine the rate of increase in MUAC and compare MUAC trajectories between pregnant adolescents and adult women across gestational stages among those attending ANC in Bundibugyo District, Uganda.
iii. To examine dietary intake patterns and their association with MUAC, gestational weight gain, and maternal hemoglobin status among pregnant adolescents and adult women attending ANC in Bundibugyo District, Uganda.
iv. To determine optimal MUAC cut-off points for identifying undernutrition risk among pregnant adolescents attending ANC in Bundibugyo District, Uganda at different gestational stages.
v. To evaluate associations of MUAC levels, rate of MUAC increase, gestational weight gain, and maternal hemoglobin status with key pregnancy outcomes (birthweight, preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age status, and maternal complications) among pregnant adolescents and adult women attending ANC in Bundibugyo District, Uganda.
vi. To explore health workers’ and stakeholders’ perceptions, practices, and challenges regarding the use of MUAC for assessing maternal nutrition among pregnant adolescents and adult women, to contextualize and triangulate the quantitative findings.

Assessment and development of infectious diseases institute environment, social, and governance strategy, policy, and net zero roadmap
REFNo: SS5056ES
To assess and develop a comprehensive sustainability framework for the Infectious Diseases
Institute (IDI) that strengthens institutional resilience, compliance, and accountability in alignment
with local and international standards.1. To identify sustainability risks, gaps, opportunities, and strengths relative to Ugandan
legal requirements, funder expectations, and international standards (e.g., GRI,
IFRS, SDGs).
2. To map and engage key internal and external stakeholders to understand
sustainability priorities, perceptions, and expectations of IDI’s sustainability
performance.
3. To evaluate IDI’s environmental impact, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
waste management, and resource utilisation.
4. To develop an institutional sustainability strategy, policy, and implementation
roadmap.
5. To develop a Net Zero plan and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) matrix.
6. To develop an Environmental Aspects and Impacts Register to guide ongoing
environmental management and compliance.

Pathogen Genomics in Community and Aircraft Wastewater for Outbreak Preparedness and Response in Uganda
REFNo: HS7430ES
The main objective is to establish an integrated wastewater-based surveillance system using NGS and AI-based machine learning (ML) models to detect, monitor and predict the spread of pathogens of public health importance and AMR in Uganda.
To characterize the diversity and temporal patterns of pathogens present
in wastewater collected from community, abattoir and aircraft sources
over a 12-month period.
ii. To detect and profile AMR genes in wastewater samples.
iii. To develop and validate AI-based analytical pipelines for processing,
interpretation, and forecasting infectious disease trends in Uganda over
the study period.
iv. To track seasonal trends in circulating pathogens and AMR genes by
integrating genomic data with epidemiological and clinical data
v. To develop and validate an optimized long-read mNGS pipeline using the
Oxford Nanopore MinION platform for detection and characterization of
pathogens and associated AMR in wastewater samples collected from
community and aircraft sources in Uganda.
