Identifying adolescents at high risk of neurocognitive disorder: Development and validation of composite risk index.
REFNo: HS1532ES
a. To develop a CRI by combining intake data on nutrition, immune parameters and HIV status and their interactions and perform internal and external validation of CRI as predictor of ND at 12 months. We hypothesize that the CRI evaluated at intake will successfully predict progressive/incident ND 12 months later.
b. To further internally and externally validate CRI for “out-of-time-window†prediction from 24 to 36 months. We hypothesize that the CRI developed at intake but evaluated at 24 months will successfully predict progressive/incident ND at 36 months.
c. For HEU and HIV-infected children, to refine CRI into CRI-HEU and CRI-HIV, respectively, by including type of maternal ART, viral genome parameters, current cART regimen/adherence (as applicable), and their interactions. We hypothesize that the CRI-HEU and CRI-HIV developed at intake and evaluated at intake and 24 months will successfully predict ND and ND/HAND respectively, 12 months later.

DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE MODELS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED PRESCHOOLS IN UGANDA
REFNo: SS714ES
The purpose of this study is to identify and refine models of ECCE provision which can help to increase its availability and enhance its quality in the context of Uganda. It is intended that these models should involve community ownership and management as far as possible and should be suitable for public subsidy in the future.
The main research questions are as follows and will apply to a variety of cases selected for in-depth and comparative study:
1. What structures, practices and resources can enable the preschool to be controlled by, and accountable to, representatives of a local community or other relevant community?
2. What structures, resources and system of funding can help to make the preschool accessible and affordable to all or most households in the locality? How far can these elements be sourced within the community?
3. What are the essential human and physical resources for the preschool to be of acceptable quality and how should the standards for these be stated for purposes of management and evaluation? How far can the community provide these resources?
4. Given the existing provision of resources, what should be the priorities for improving leadership, teaching and care in the preschool?
5. How can the preschool best be linked with schools, health and social welfare services and existing demand-side interventions?

Assessment of integrated control of East Coast fever (ECF) by induction of acquired immunity in Ankole cattle after natural infection by early diagnosis and early treatment
REFNo: A134ES
Mainobjective
To investigate the performance of early diagnosis and early treatment of ECF as a method of reducing calf mortality and enhancing conditions for the development of endemic stability
Specific objectives
i. To determine the prevalence of ECF based on microscopic, ELISA and PCR methods.
ii. To determine the efficiency of early symptom diagnosis and early chemotherapy approach in treating natural ECF cases and induction of protective immunity against ECF in Ankole cattle in an endemic area.
iii. To design a diagnostic regimen/protocol that farmers can use to minimize cattle losses due to ECF by integrating early case symptom detection and early treatment in the routine control strategy in an endemic area.
