Computer-aided point-of-care ultrasound for TB active case finding
(POCUS-TB)
REFNo: HS2518ES
The overall goal of this study is to develop an integrated point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)-based computer-aided decision support system that will meet or exceed the minimum target performance criteria of a triage test for pulmonary TB.
Primary objectives:
1. Generate a high-quality annotated POCUS dataset and optimized POCUS scanning protocol for TB screening across the spectrum of early to advanced infection.
2. Develop a computer decision support algorithm for POCUS-based detection of TB with the integration of clinical and epidemiologic TB risk variables.

Assessing freshwater fish response to deforestation-induced warming
REFNo: NS564ES
The broad goal of this project is to understand the effects of deforestation on freshwater fishes. The project will specifically explore the effects of deforestation on the behaviour, ecophysiology, and morphology of fishes by comparing populations of a cyprinid fish that occur both on forested and deforested streams.

GENETIC, PHENOTYPIC AND PHYLOGEOGRAPHICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF LIBERICA COFFEE
REFNo: A294ES
1) To understand the genetic diversity of Liberica coffee (across its natural range and in cultivation), and its correspondence to physical features (morphology), chemistry (data already available) and sensory characteristics (some data already available).
2) Elucidate patterns of genetic diversity across cultivated and wild C. liberica in Uganda.
3) Place cultivated Ugandan genotypes within a country-wide and African-wide perspective. In particular we will focus on the origin of farmed Liberica in Uganda: to ascertain whether they are from an indigenous source (i.e. one of the two forest locations in Uganda where this species has been recorded), or not. Farmers in Uganda say that this coffee travelled with previous generations from the forest. National and regional identity will be an asset for the marketing and development of Liberica-excelsa (kisansa coffee).
4) Propose a new, and much-needed, intraspecific classification for C. liberica.

Improving POC-CCA reliability and interpretation in low and high S. mansoni endemicity settings using recombinant Ab-based POC-CCAs and improved quality assurance and control
REFNo: HS2788ES
This study aims to demonstrate the performance of the new recPOC-CCA rapid test in areas of low and high schistosomiasis endemicity, in comparison to the current POC-CCA test and KK microscopy.
Objective I: The study will also evaluate the use of 1-3 calibrator samples to provide clear visual guidance to the appropriate cutoff G-Scores for the recPOC-CCA test, for the end user to use within an endemic setting.
Objective II: This will reduce batch-to-batch variations, and reduce the impact of the often subjective Trace readings around the cutoff of the test. LatentClassAnalysis(LCA)willbeperformedwiththediagnostictestsdatatoestimatethetrueinfection status of the participants, and the probability of each diagnostic test to accurately predict infection, demonstrating how LCA can improve data interpretation to support MDA program decision making.
