Anti-Retroviral Therapy Adherence Measurement Methods and Virological Failure in HIV infected Ugandans on long-term ART
REFNo: HS1949ES
1a. To describe incidence of virological failure in patients enrolled in the long-term ART cohort and assess the relationship between adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) measured either by patient self-report, appointment keeping and pill count and having virologic failure among HIV-infected Ugandan adults receiving long-term first line.

The effects of water shortage on female chimpanzee social behaviour in the Budongo Forest Reserve
REFNo: NS278ES
This research examines the space use and social behavior of female chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda. In the forest, there are two habituated chimpanzee communities – Waibira, where habituation started in 2011, and Sonso, where habituation started in 1990. While both groups have high year-round food availability, the Waibira group faces an unusual ecological pressure during the annual dry season, when, despite being a rainforest-dwelling group, all permanent water sources within their home range dry up, with the exception of one waterhole. Describing how the female chimpanzees of the community are affected by this annually recurring water scarcity will help us understand the ecological pressures influencing chimpanzee social and ranging behavior. The project aims to provide a detailed description of the ranging of Waibira females, as well as their association patterns, levels of aggression, and gregariousness, and investigate whether any seasonal changes due to water availability are present. Other aims are to determine the dominance hierarchy of the females of the group, and to investigate whether individual factors influence strategies used to deal with water scarcity, such as increasing daily travel, or consuming more water-rich food.

A Comprehensive Study of Human-Carnivore Conflict Mitigation and Prevention Measures in Queen Elizabeth National Park’s Unique Context of Human and Large Carnivore Ecology
REFNo: NS309ES
The following management-driven research proposal seeks to investigate human-carnivore conflict challenges in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda through five interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary retro- and prospective studies (conservation sociology, community ecology, ecosystem services, wildlife ecology, and conservation biology) in the hopes of making informed, integrated, and strategic mitigation and prevention efforts. This includes 1) a compound cost-benefit analysis of fencing as a human-carnivore conflict (HCC) prevention and carnivore conservation measure; 2) a critical review of Uganda Carnivore Program’s (UCP) carnivore conflict mitigation and prevention efforts (with special emphasis on safe husbandry, experiential tourism, and compensation of genuine losses); 3) a brief review of large carnivore ecology, its resources needs, and current impacts of anthropogenic activity on large carnivore viability in Queen Elizabeth National Park; 4) competition-strategies and tactics of human ecology with wildlife ecology in Queen Elizabeth National Park and its impacts on ecosystem productivity and services; and 5) a critical cultural context review of local custodianship concepts vis-à -vis integrated management approaches (Resource Sharing Agreements, compensation, livelihood support etc.).
