Improving Household and Community Practices to reduce human contact with bats in Bundibugyo District
REFNo: SS1406ES
To determine the effectiveness of the “Living Safely with Bats” model developed by the USAID-PREDICT project at a community level. ,Improve community knowledge of, and increase uptake of safety practices through a multi-pronged social and behavior change (SBC) strategy.,Engage local women, women groups and school clubs in testing out plants that repel bats due to their scent, including as mint and rosemary.,Identify locally available and affordable materials to keep bats out of homes and community buildings. ,The overall goal of this intervention is to reduce the risk of exposure from pathogens arising as a result of human contact with bats by deterring bats from entering houses and buildings, as well as improving household and community safety practices once the bats have already entered or roosted.,

Evolution and Behavioural Ecology of Natural Predator Interactions Between Mongooses and Snakes
REFNo: NS398ES
The overall objective is to analyse interactions between mongooses and snakes using model presentations. I want to understand how anti-snake behaviour varies across mongoose species and between groups with different compositions (by age, dominance, experience and sociality). Furthermore, I will examine ecological effects on mongoose-snake interactions by a comparison across geographic areas in Africa with different ecosystems and different guilds and combinations of snake and mongoose species.
By carrying out model presentations to the banded mongooses in Uganda, I aim to achieve the following:
1. To characterise banded mongoose foraging and hunting behaviour on snakes by observing how individuals interact with models of different snake species and models of other prey items, recording their physical behaviour and vocalisations.
2. To investigate whether different stimuli of the snake models, specifically movement of the model or the addition of natural snake scent, cause differences in behaviour mongooses exhibit towards them.
3. To investigate whether response to snakes varies under different group and environmental factors, such as in different group sizes and compositions, at varying distance from den or cover, or when pups are present.
4. To examine if mongooses have individual-level patterns or ‘defensive personalities’ by relating behavioural observations with life-history data from the long-term records about the same mongoose individuals collected by the Banded Mongoose Project.

Strengthening Care in collaborAtion with People with lived Experience of psychosis in Uganda (SCAPE-U
REFNo: HS2327ES
General objective
To assess the impact of SCAPE-U on individual, family members’ and health system outcomes, and evaluate trial procedures to determine the optimal design for a future fully-powered cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT).
Specific objectives
1. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of SCAPE-U from the perspective of people with lived experience of psychosis, their family members and primary and community care providers.
2. To demonstrate proof-of-concept for the benefit of SCAPE-U for service users (i.e., patients with psychosis receiving primary care services) and their families, including changes in psychosis symptoms, quality of life, frequency of hospitalization and the potential impacts on family members.
3. To determine changes in health systems outcomes in terms of primary care provider knowledge, attitudes, competency in psychosis diagnosis and management, as well as accuracy of diagnosis and fidelity to treatment guidelines in actual care settings.
4. To evaluate trial procedures, including costing, recruitment and retention, and data collection protocols, to determine the optimal design for a future fully-powered cluster RCT
