ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METALS AND POTENTIAL USE OF SELECTED MACROPHYTES IN PHYTOREMEDIATION AND MANAGEMENT OF LAKE GEORGE, UGANDA
REFNo: NS1001ES
General objective
Assess the ecological risk of heavy metal contamination in selected macrophytes, associated water and sediments of Lake George, Uganda
Specific objectives
The specific objectives are to:
1.Determine the distribution and diversity of macrophytes on L. George
2.Determine the pattern of multi elemental concentration (Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, Co and their variations in wetland plant species of different growth forms, in corresponding water and sediments of Lake George.
3.Apply ecological pollution indices to assess pollution load in the sediments and macrophytes.
4.Identify the selected macrophytes potential use as bio-indicators and for phyto-extraction and phyto-stabilization of heavy metal contamination

EFFICACY AND TOLERABILITY OF SHORT-COURSE INTERMITTENT INTRAVENOUS LIPOSOMAL AMPHOTERICIN B VERSUS ORAL POSACONAZOLE FOR CHRONIC PULMONARY ASPERGILLOSIS: A PHASE IIA, PROSPECTIVE, MULTI-CENTRE, RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED, OPEN-LABEL, FEASIBILITY TRIAL
REFNo: HS6400ES
5. Assess recruitment and retention of patients with CPA on a trial to inform design and sample size for a definitive efficacy trial.,4. To assess adherence to posaconazole therapy,3. To evaluate the utility of different trial endpoints (change in Aspergillus IgG antibody titer, radiological improvement, step test and weight) across groups.,2. To compare 12-month all-cause mortality in each arm,1. To measure emergence of isolates of Aspergillus with resistance/reduced susceptibility to posaconazole in both arms. ,1. Compare the efficacy and tolerability of 1) short course, high dose of intravenous liposomal amphotericin B, 2) short course, high dose of intravenous liposomal amphotericin B followed by daily posaconazole, or 3) posaconazole alone for the treatment of CPA for 6 months.,

Countrywide Enhancement of Sentinel Congenital Rubella Surveillance and Intensified Case Identification for Burden Monitoring Following Measles-Rubella Vaccine Introduction in Uganda and Neighboring Countries
REFNo: HS6410ES
Objective: The long-term goal is to sustain systematic CRS case-based sentinel surveillance countrywide to understand the burden of rubella infections causing congenital disabilities and to assess the public health control and prevention interventions such as the vaccines.
Specific aim 1: To support laboratory based CRS diagnosis in clinically suspected cases
Specific aim 2: To monitor vaccine impact in Uganda's routine immunization program
Specific aim 3: To monitor and characterize genotypes associated with CRS
Specific aim 4: To monitor molecular epidemiology of CRS in East African region
