Case Study of Makerere University in Uganda through the Lens of U.S. Land-Grant Higher Education
REFNo: SS788ES
Makerere University, similar to U.S. land-grant universities, faces a shortage of resources and is moving toward privatization and neoliberalism. Both (Makerere and U.S. land-grants) face pressures to open access and also be world-class in research (have local and global relevance). Also both must come to terms with the impact of history (i.e. colonialism). The purpose of this research is to discover ways in which Makerere University confrms to and differs from U.S. land-grant higher education, and through analysis, to better understand both Makerere and U.S. land grant universities. The study will take an in-depth look at Makerere University – including the mission, structures, policies, activities, barriers, and facilitators – using the land-grant model as an organizational and analytical framework. As a result, the researcher hopes to offer recommendations toward the solution of problems facing Makerere University and U.S. land-grant universities, namely tensions between increased access and competitive research, local and global relevance, resource shortages, and coming to terms with colonialism.
The objectives are to address the following research questions: 1) How do the mission, structures, and activities at Makerere University align or diverge across different domains of the land-grant framework? 2) What are the facilitators, barriers, and tensions that affect Makerere University engagement across different domains of the land-grant framework?

Epicenter for Emerging Infectious Diseases Intelligence (EEIDI)
REFNo: HS1772ES
The Epicenter for Emerging Infectious Disease Intelligence will establish research hubs in the Amazon and Congo Basin forest for emerging infectious disease (EID) research.
The Amazonian and Congo basin forest regions are highly susceptible to new and emerging infectious diseases resulting from spillover of zoonotic RNA viruses from wildlife into human communities that are increasingly connected to the rest of the world.
Our proposed research will enhance surveillance of EIDs in humans with acute febrile illness, invertebrate vectors, and vertebrate hosts that are facilitating pathogen transmission in forest and urban systems. This work will advance an understanding of cross-species transmission dynamics for emerging viral threats, as well as optimize innovative and deployable surveillance and testing strategies to strengthen infectious disease surveillance to enable rapid response to outbreaks as part of the Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID) Network.
This research aims to:
1.Detect and characterize new and known viruses of epidemic and pandemic potential in high-risk communities and patients admitted to hospitals.
2.Identify biological, behavioral, and ecological factors influencing the risk of viral spillover, amplification, and spread.
3.Determine potential targets for intervention based on high-risk human behaviors and practices that amplify disease transmission in hotspots for viral evolution, spillover, amplification, and spread.
