The Onward Project On Well-being and Adversity (“TOPOWA”):
Pilot Study of Wearables
REFNo: SS1560ES
The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of using consumer-grade wearable wrist devices to assess sleep and activity space of adolescent girls and young women in slum communities in Kampala, Uganda. This objective will be answered through wearables wrist devices, daily diaries, focus groups discussions and a survey to collect the experiences of AGYW who are 18-24 years of age.

Contained laboratory studies of the genetically-modified, non-gene drive, self-limiting male bias Anopheles gambiae strain Ag(PMB)1.
REFNo: HS2601ES
• Establishing and maintaining wild-type Anopheles strains Ag(WT) for use in the study.
• Importing and maintaining of the Ag(PMB)1 strain from Target Malaria partner laboratories into the insectary in accordance with ACL2 standard operating procedures for this strain.
• Further Introgression and maintaining the Ag(PMB)1 strain in a local genetic background.
• Confirmation of the genotype of the Ag(PMB)1 strain by molecular methods, including storage of samples.
• Conducting experiments on specific insect life history parameters under containment including:
o Effect of the transgenes on lifecycle parameters
o Female feeding avidity
o Fecundity
o Egg hatch
o Confirming the male bias phenotype by observing the distortion of sex ratio and proportions of transgenic vs. non transgenic individuals
o Accuracy of mosquito sorting methods
o Larval development rate and adult hatching (eclosion)
o Adult eclosion (emergence of an adult insect from a pupa) and adult longevity
• Conducting a colony augmentation exercise, to temporarily increase colony numbers.
• Assessment of mating competitiveness between Ag(WT) and strain Ag(PMB)1 males.
• Assessment of insecticide susceptibility status of the Ag(PMB)1 strain compared with the non-transgenic wild-type An. gambiae, using standard World Health Organization protocols.
• Conducting experiments to optimize mosquito rearing methods.
All studies will be performed using the imported Ag(PMB)1 strain and local wild-type Ag(WT), no genetic transformation of either of these two strains will be done in country.

Sample collection for the development of a new Abbott Rapid Diagnostics COVID- 19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel
REFNo: HS2592ES
Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses - they share some similar symptoms but are caused by different viruses. Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, distinguishing infection between these viruses cannot be made based on symptoms alone. Diagnostic testing is needed to determine which of the two viruses is the cause of the illness.
Abbott Rapid Diagnostics is developing a new COVID-19 / Flu A&B rapid test device that can detect both flu and COVID-19 viruses in a patient sample and distinguish between them. The test is being developed on an improved lateral flow platform, to be conducted at the point-of-care. This study is intended to collect samples to aid in the research and development process for this new test. The study will provide standard-of-care PCR testing and potentially molecular sequencing for patient management at clinical sites in Uganda.
