Global Corridor, Urbanisation, Everydaylife and Techno-social Differentiation
REFNo: SS2860ES
2. To explore the everyday assembling of Corridor Urbanization to assess how investment in infrastructure is generating intra-urban and inter-urban relations/material connections between urban regions., To explain the global, urban geography of infrastructural corridors in reshaping the urbanization process in order to set a new agenda for global research,3. To investigate the everyday experiences of Corridor Urbanization within urban regions in order to understand the differentiated ways in which infrastructure is operated and accessed,1. To assess the global, urban geography and selected history of new corridors and the ways these projects are assembled in order to understand the role of urban regions,The aim of GlobalCORRIDOR is to address the challenge of how we understand Corridor Urbanization and to assess how these infrastructure led transformations are shaping urban inequality, as an everyday experience of techno-social differentiation,

OPTIMIZATION, VALIDATION AND ASSESSMENT OF FEASIBILITY AND ACCEPTABILITY OF HPV TESTING USING CODA
REFNo: HS4734ES
To develop and establish a novel rapid multi-modal algorithm (CANOPY) for screening and treatment of cervical cancer integrating multiple (CODA, VIA, ML) screening modalities to improve diagnostic yield. ,To gather design feedback to improve CODA workflow and device design, and refine CODA device, assay, and workflow using this critical feedback provided by Ugandan stakeholders,To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of CODA in a clinical setting in Uganda based on feedback from clinical, public health, and patient stakeholders,To evaluate HPV testing using CODA in comparison to other (VIA, ML, ATILA System) devices for clinicians and patients engaged in community-based cervical cancer screening. ,To determine the diagnostic accuracy of CODA a clinical setting, using FP rate and comparison with gold-standard HPV tests and cytology,We will optimize, validate and assess the feasibility and acceptability of HPV testing using CODA and develop and validate a multimodal cervical cancer screening algorithm to optimize diagnostic yield (CANOPY).,

Implementation and evaluation of peer support and navigation supported by Project ECHO for patients with cancer in Uganda
REFNo: HS5297ES
6. To evaluated perceived program feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness through surveys and exit in-depth interviews with peer navigators, patients, and UCI oncologists,5. To adapt the Cancer Behavior Inventory (CBI-B) self-efficacy scale, Edmondton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS), and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ C30) quality of life for cancer patients questionnaire to the Uganda context by soliciting feedback from UWOCASO members and UCI oncology and palliative care specialists,4. To evaluate program impact by measuring patient self-efficacy, symptom burden, and quality of life using the above adapted scales at enrollment, 1, 3, 4 and 6 months after the program start ,3. To evaluate program impact by comparing the proportion of patients who completed treatment for early stage disease and or had treatment adherence of > 6 months in case of metastatic disease among patients matched with peer support and navigation right away versus six months later. ,2. To pair 100 cancer survivors with 200 matched patients with cancer in the Kampala, Wakiso, and Gulu districts of Uganda for peer support and navigation. Half of the selected patients will be randomized to be matched to peer support immediately, and half six months later . ,1. To provide refresher training in peer support and navigation to 100 cancer survivors. We will focus on the five most common cancers in Uganda (breast, cervical, prostate, Kaposi sarcoma, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma).,
