Nutrition Improvement and Livelihood Empowerment (NILE) impact study protocol: A cluster-randomized multi-level multisectoral intervention to improve nutrition in Uganda
REFNo: HS3566ES

The study aims to demonstrate the extent to which dietary diversity for women and young children are increased and undernutrition reduced among the intervention versus comparison areas. The findings of the evaluation study will be used to inform the government of Uganda and partners the effectiveness of the programme and to support learning.

Specific objectives of the study
• To evaluate impact by gathering, analysing and synthesising evidence to determine whether the multi-sector nutrition project results in improved nutrition status and dietary diversity among pregnant and lactating women, adolescents and children.

• To evaluate the quality of programme implementation and to inform refinements to intervention design and delivery.

• To understand the mechanisms of change by which the project activities impact key outcomes and nutritional status of children.

• To examine impact of economic empowerment to nutrition outcomes and food security

Supporting Nile tilapia production through the introduction of modern genomic and breeding tools for indigenous farmed strains in Uganda
REFNo: A388ES

1. Introducing individual fish identification tools to OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited’s Nile tilapia hatchery. This will be through the introduction of affordable T-bar anchor tags. This will allow individual fish phenotype recording and evaluation as a selection candidate.
2. Genetic assessment of OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited’s Nile tilapia breeding sub-populations (strains), to establish genetic diversity, inbreeding level and genomic admixture within and between the strains.
3. Quantitative genetic and phenotypic (mainly growth rate) characterization of the Nile tilapia strains currently maintained at OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited hatchery as broodstock.
4. Genomic evaluation of OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited’s current broodstock to evaluate genetic diversity and inbreeding rate of the three strains at the hatchery.
5. Establishing a genomics-informed diverse Nile tilapia founder breeding stock for subsequent selective breeding.
6.Identifying genomic regions underlying key traits such as growth rate in the indigenous farmed Nile tilapia farmed strains at OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited hatchery.

Appraisal of opioids misuse among a vulnerable population in the western and central region of Uganda
REFNo: HS3486ES

1. To determine the origin of opioid abuse / misuse among vulnerable populations in western/central region of Uganda. 2. To determine epidemiological and psychopathological aspects of opioids abuse/misuse among women in western/central Uganda. 3. To evaluate the contribution of opioid abuse / misuse in western/central region of Uganda. 4. To determine knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) among pharmaceutical and medical health professionals in western/central region of Uganda. 5. To comment on development of intervention strategies to improve knowledge on responsible use amongst Health care professionals (HCP) / patients.

USE OF BLOOD LACTATE THRESHOLD FOR DETERMINING EXERCISE TRAINING VO2 VALUES TO RELIABLY CONTROL HbA1C EXPRESSION IN TYPE-2-PREDIABETICS
REFNo: HS2919ES

The objectives of this study are:
1. To determine whether there will be a significant improvement in the HbA1C expression for the study groups after 3-months of exercise training.
2. To determine whether there will be a significant difference in the HbA1C expressions between the 2mM, 2.5mM, and 4mM experimental groups after 3-months of exercise training.
3. To evaluate the experimental groups and specify which ones will have the observed HbA1C expression improvements.
4. To evaluate the exercise testing-stages within each experimental group for the blood lactate experimental group with the HbA1C dose-response effects threshold during the 3-months of exercise training.
