Comparing traditional monitoring of Kibale wildlife population abundance and health with molecular based environmental DNA based approaches
REFNo: NS343ES

To test the use of air DNA and fly-derived DNA for describing mammal and parasite communities by using the long-term monitoring efforts across transects in Kibale National Park.
Specifically aim to explore the role of flies in disease ecology in and around groups of primates in Kibale National Park, and their potential role as vectors at the human-wildlife interface, including the exploration of changes in fly density and disease prevalence.

Interaction between hypoxia and thermal tolerance in the cyprinid fish (Enteromius neumayeri)
REFNo: NS346ES

To look at the interaction between hypoxia (low oxygen) adaptation and thermal tolerance in tropical African fishes, of particular interest in Kibale National Park.

The project will specifically investigate how local adaptation to hypoxia affects the thermal and hypoxia tolerance of Enteromius neumeyari before and after acclimating fish to elevated water temperature

Lawyers for Consumer Protection: Evidence from a Field Experiment in Uganda
REFNo: SS1255ES

3.The UCC would be especially important in this context, as they serve as the telecom regulator for mobile money transactions. Furthermore, the UCC is currently developing plans for the creation of a “communications tribunal”, which is the ideal endpoint for those in the treatment group to have their disputes resolved.,2.This intervention would also be informative to consumer protection agencies simply so that they are made aware of both how prevalent the problem of mobile money fraud is, and how they can most effectively address it.,1.Findings of this intervention would be relevant to policymakers on several levels. First, conclusions from CTDR-U’s platform would be of utmost interest to regulators who are involved with fraud, especially when it relates to mobile money agent fraud such as in Buku and Mazer (2017).,

PRESERVATION OF ORAL HISTORY IN THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD: BRIDGING EVANGELICAL GAP IN THE MARKETPLACE AMONG THE BANYANKOLE IN UGANDA
REFNo: SS1248ES

Purpose of the Study
Preserving of oral history restores the identity as one way to claim back the lost identity. As Marcus Garvey asserts, “a people without knowledge of the past history, origin and culture is like a tree without toots”. Therefore, careful effort is needed in assessment of oral history genres that best suits the ministration of the Word in the market place. This study aims at establishing strategies for applying Oral History in the Ministry of the Word in the Marketplace in Uganda.

Specific Objectives
This study shall be able to:
1. Establish the kind of oral history practices among the Banyankole available for the ministry of the Word.
2. Analyze the techniques in the ministration of the Word in the marketplace in Uganda.
3. Develop strategies for applying oral history in the Ministry of the Word for the Kingdom of God.

 Goals for Adherence with Low-cost Incentives (GOALS)
REFNo: HS2207ES

The objective in year 1 is to identify the incentive design most effective for improving adherence.
The objective in year 2 is to maintain adherence improvements at the clinically optimal level of 90 percent and achieve viral suppression.
The objective in year 3 is to measure adherence for 12 months after the intervention ends to assess the impact of the different treatment arms on behavior change once incentives are withdrawn (persistence).
