In-situ assessment and collection of fecal sludge from non-sewered sanitation containments: Linking demographic, environmental and technical parameters to microbial activity
REFNo: SIR275ES
The overall objective of this PhD project is to better understand and characterize anaerobic degradation pathways in containment of non-sewered sanitation systems (NSS) in resource constrained settings representative of both urban and rural areas.
In view of this, the specific objective linked to this research pertaining to this ethics application is to understand the influence of demographic, environmental and technical (DET) data on measurable fecal sludge parameters as well as microbial community composition within NSS containment across variable geographic regions.
The proposed project aims to answer the following specific research questions:
- What are the effects and variations associated with physical location, use, and operating conditions on wastewater quality and microbial composition?
- What is the relationship between location of sanitation system and behaviors associated with operational parameters?
- Is there a link between main concentration gradients in containment and spatially analyzable factors (i.e., demographic, environmental and technical)?

Surveillance and Research of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Outbreaks in Uganda: Acute Case Investigation and Survivor Follow-up for Strategic Public Health Intervention
REFNo: HS2964ES
The primary objective is to enhance Uganda’s capacity to rapidly detect, diagnose, respond to, and prevent VHFs including those caused by Ebola, Marburg, CCHF, RVF, Sosuga, and other emerging viruses. To do this, it is critical to understand the incidence, distribution, risk factors for emergence and transmission, immunogenicity and clinical progression (including potential asymptomatic infection), and potential for transmission following clinical recovery of these diseases throughout Uganda, which will enable improved VHF case outcomes, identification of unknown chains of transmission, survivor monitoring, and strategic targeting of public health and animal health resources to prevent and control transmission of these high-consequence viruses.
