REFNo: HS2257ES
General objective
To determine the burden of neurocognitive disorders and associated factors in patients with a history of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in selected communities of southwestern Uganda.
Specific objectives

Locally-driven co-development of plant-based value chains towards more sustainable African food system with healthier diets and export potential (InnoFoodAfrica)
REFNo: SS1422ES
Main Objective
1. InnoFoodAfrica aims to develop new sustainable value chains (VC) to produce and distribute diverse and healthy foods from African farms to local and export markets.
Specific Objectives
1. Develop resource-efficient, safe and sustainable food production VCs by empowering small-holder farmers, processors, producers and consumers via co-creation process with African and European experts,
2. Catalyzing new local and international business and market opportunities in the cereal-pulse-root crop-fruit food and packaging VCs by engaging VC actors and investigating new business models.
3. Adapt and implement dietary guidelines that are based on cereal-pulse-root crop-fruit-based foods and diets tackling malnutrition of small children (focusing also on the health of expecting and breast-feeding mothers who are responsible for taking care of themselves and their children within the first 1000 days of life) and adults under the risk of obesity.
4. Diversify of plant-based agrofood systems enabling nature-benefiting farming and production of African food, which form a basis for a balanced diet.
5. Develop safe and nutrient-dense cereal-pulse-root crop-fruit-based food ingredients and products which tackle malnutrition from two angles: nutrient deficiencies and obesity, taken into account both children (<1000 days) and adult consumer segments.
6. Increase resource-efficiency of the African cereal-pulse-root crop-fruit-based food VCs by reducing food loss and food waste by improved post-harvesting and storage practices, and by creating value from side streams via bio-based packaging solutions for replacement of plastic.
7. Establish a pan-African food R&D&I (research, development and innovation) community via cooperation and creation of an open Innovation Platform, and 2) contribution to goals of the EU-Africa Research and Innovation Partnership within FNSSA and cooperation with ongoing projects in the subject area to share innovations, maximize communication and facilitating technology transfer.

REFNo: HS2420ES
1) Determine how a woman's cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment impacts the social wellbeing of her children for women undergoing treatment for cervical cancer at the uganda cancer institute.
2)Determine how a woman's cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment impacts the economic situation of her children for women undergoing treatment for cervical cancer at the Uganda cancer institute.
3)Describe the demographics and characteristics of the women diagnosed with cervical cancer and undergoing treatment at the Uganda cancer institute.

Assessing the densities of four carnivore species and their conflict with local livestock farmers within and on the boundaries of Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley, Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve and Lake Mburo National Parks
REFNo: NS331ES
Key objectives are to provide UWA and UNCST with updated density estimates of hyenas, lions, cheetahs and leopards using the latest spatially-explicit methods, and develop a conflict risk map for authorities for bettered allocation of resources to reduce lion and hyena attacks on livestock in future. I anticipate at least four key products to emerge from this research, 1) At least two high impact applied journal articles (eg. Journal of Applied Ecology or Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment), 2) a standardized, easy to repeat citizen science data collection protocol which uses the methods developed in 2022-2023 with Makerere students and other conservation stakeholders, 3) several training workshops with local scientists from Makere University, UWA staff, park staff and local lodges on density estimation techniques for large carnivores and 4) a conflict risk map covering these five protected areas which will be used by the Ugandan wildlife Authority to identify critical zones for conservation interventions to be applied in 2023 and beyond.
