Developing Better Control Together, a multi-faceted patient-support group for patients with hypertension in Uganda
REFNo: HS5309ES
We propose to develop a multi-faceted patient-support group for patients living with HTN in rural Uganda using an iterative approach that is tailored to the local context. We will adapt several evidence-based interventions for patient-support groups from the HIV experience to develop a comprehensive intervention for patients with HTN by including aspects of disease education, social support, financial activities, and bulk purchasing of HTN medications.

Solar-Powered Irrigation Schemes for Smallholder Farmers in Uganda: Assessing Impact and Sustainability
REFNo: SIR452ES
1. To examine the impact of adopting solar-powered irrigation systems on crop
yields in horticulture among smallholder farmers in eastern Uganda.
2. To examine how farmers’ knowledge and skills in operating and maintaining
solar irrigation systems influence the adoption of solar-powered irrigation
technology among smallholder farmers.
3. To analyze the effect of stakeholder engagement on the adoption of solar-
powered irrigation technologies among smallholder farmers.
4.To assess how the Ugandan Government’s policy frameworks influence, the
adoption of solar-powered irrigation technology among smallholder farmers.

Functional Role, Temporal Dynamics, and Protective Impact of IgA on Clinical Outcomes in Uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum Malaria
REFNo: HS5353ES
General Objective
To investigate the functional role, temporal dynamics, and protective impact of IgA on clinical outcomes in adult patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the greater Kampala region, Uganda.
Specific Objectives
1. To quantify the functional activity of serum IgA antibodies in adult patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the greater Kampala region, Uganda, by measuring the percentage reduction in hepatocyte infection, the inhibition of merozoite invasion of erythrocytes, and the level of neutrophil activation through oxidative burst and cytokine release.
2. To characterize the temporal dynamics and persistence of IgA responses in adult patients with uncomplicated malaria in the greater Kampala region over a 42-day follow-up period, by measuring peak IgA levels (C_max), time to peak level (T_max), rate of decline (IgA half-life), and area under the curve (AUC).
3. To evaluate the association between serum IgA levels and clinical outcomes in adult patients with uncomplicated malaria in the greater Kampala region, by assessing symptom resolution time and parasite clearance time.
4. To determine the correlation between IgA levels and complement activation, as well as their association with pro-inflammatory or regulatory cytokines during and after Plasmodium falciparum infection in adult patients with uncomplicated malaria in the greater Kampala region, Uganda.
