Improving HIV Outcomes through Collaborative Mental Health Interventions
REFNo: SS1642ES
To assess the perspectives of traditional and faith healers and biomedical mental health professionals on mental health treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS who have mental illness using a qualitative approach. We will interview 5-10 traditional healers and 5-10 faith healers over 2-4 months in early 2023. They will be recruited from the local area based on their experience working with people with HIV/AIDS and mental illness. These interviews will aid in characterizing the different conceptions of mental illness etiology and treatment strategies among both traditional healers in the African tradition and faith healers/pastors in the Christian tradition, and examine if collaboration between traditional and faith healers, and biomedical service providers can be developed to best serve people living with HIV/AIDS and improve health outcomes.,Objective 1b - To determine the characteristics of people living with HIV/AIDS and mental illness using a quantitative approach. We will collect cross sectional data on this population regarding of mental illness and HIV disease severity and duration, sociodemographics, and traditional and biomedical care history.,Objective 1a – To examine the experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS with mental illness in the Psychiatric Unit at Mbarara Hospital and traditional healer clinics using a qualitative approach. We will interview 15-25 patients living with HIV/AIDS and mental illness over 2-4 months in early 2023. They will be recruited from the psychiatric unit at Mbarara hospital. By interviewing mental health patients living with HIV, we can better understand how they view their illness, how local beliefs inform mental health care utilization, as well as their pathway to care and ultimately treatment outcomes.,To develop an intervention in which biomedical professionals collaborate with local traditional and faith healers to provide mental health services which will ultimately improve viral suppression, increase longevity, and reduce preventable morbidity and mortality.

REFNo: NS496ES
The objectives of this doctoral dissertation project are to better elucidate the group-level, individual, and physiological mechanisms exhibited by wild eastern chimpanzees to achieve a risky form of collective action, namely participation and contribution in lethal aggression between territorially distinct chimpanzee communities. I will study the Kanyawara community of wild eastern chimpanzees to answer these questions of interest.

A study to examine outcomes of Seed Global Health’s partnerships with medical education and training institutions in Uganda and Zambia
REFNo: HS2767ES
The specific objectives of this study are to:
1. Examine the extent to which Seed’s partnership with the three institutions has contributed to the four outcome domains Seed considers to be the crux of its work:
a. Improved patient outcomes;
b. Improved clinical competence among medical students and medical faculty/preceptors. Specifically, acquisition or improvement of knowledge, confidence in clinical skills competencies and demonstration of clinical skills [students]; and ability to train and mentor students [faculty/preceptors];
c. Absorption and retention of graduates into the national health workforce (within their field of practice); and
d. Improved clinical application, in particular, clinician’s ability to apply acquired knowledge and skills gained from education/training into the clinical setting .
2. Identify any unanticipated outcomes (positive or negative) that have resulted from Seed’s partnership with the three institutions.

Community Engagement in Paediatric Biobanking Governance in Uganda.
REFNo: SS1651ES
The aim of this study is to provide IARC and the Ugandan Government with actionable recommendations concerning the development of paediatric biobanking guidelines. The primary objective is to identify the key ethical issues/concerns for researchers, laboratory staff, and health authorities in Uganda, specifically related to public trust in biobanking, and how trust/ trustworthiness could be addressed in paediatric biobanking governance as well as how the community might be engaged.
• Does it hold true that trust/ trustworthiness is contextual and that effectively would preclude any harmonisation of guidelines for biobanking? Or is there any common ground on which to build global /international guidelines,
• What are the gaps in biobanking in Uganda, particularly with respect to paediatric biobanking and,
• How can Uganda create paediatric biobanking guidelines that reflect the needs identified by communities and what would this look like, and,
• How can biobanks show they are trustworthy through their governance and what does that look like to Uganda? Is it sufficient to be transparent and accountable or are other cultural/economic/religious/aspects that parents consider in their assessment of trust in a biobank?
• How can ethical considerations related to biobank governance be addressed in an inclusive, collaborative and deliberative manner

Nutrition Assessment for Children with Disabilities and Children without Family Care
REFNo: HS2826ES
The study purpose is to fill longstanding gaps in data on nutrition and feeding for children with disabilities and children living in childcare institutions in Uganda. Our overall hypothesis is that children with disabilities and children living in institutions in Uganda have very high rates of malnutrition, face significant barriers to accessing appropriate nutrition services and support, and merit increased prioritization in policies, practices, and investments.
Our objectives are to:
1. Estimate the prevalence of malnutrition, feeding difficulties, and inappropriate feeding practices among children with disabilities and children living in institutions.
2. Assess the perceived barriers to adequate nutrition and feeding among families of children with disabilities and children living in institutions.
3. Understand nutrition and feeding-related support needs of children with disabilities, children living in institutions, and their caregivers
4. Identify the gaps and opportunities in nutrition and feeding services and policies for children with disabilities and children living in institutions; and disseminate recommendations to inform relevant policies and practices.

The Effects of Cassava Drying Technology on Commercialization and Consumption Smoothing
REFNo: SS1700ES
The main goals of the pilot RCT are to ascertain the technical efficiency of the machines, the viability of the model where agents operate the machines and charge a fee for drying, and to observe how harvest and sales timing, consumption and cropping decisions change when farmers gain access to drying technology. In addition, we will explore additional mechanisms including varying the contract structure, and getting a sense of which channels are most salient to focus on (e.g. how likely we would be to detect effects on intertemporal smoothing beyond addressing the barriers to adoption to a seemingly profitable technology).

Stories from the Substrate: East African History from the Soil
REFNo: SS1870ES
“Stories from the Substrate” takes shape around several research questions but most fundamentally it asks: What might the history of East Africa look like if we start from the soil? Starting from the soil suggests a point of view, and a trajectory as well as a subject. Together, this offers an opportunity to rework some of the well-trod territory of East African historiography, highlighting new themes and subjects. In African history, scholars have overwhelmingly trained their attention on people and events rather than thinking from and with nonhuman things. What then, comes into focus when we work from the soil, bringing together unlikely stories from which to consider the region’s history? Divided into three parts, this project gathers twentieth century histories of how East Africans have been engaged with animals, plants, and minerals through the substrate.[2] Together, these histories reveal narratives of labor, health, science, and environments by focusing on everyday negotiations of life in the region. Working from government archives, scientific studies, travelers accounts, and oral history interviews to write a series of thematic chapters, this project looks to the relationship between people and soil to build a non-elite history of the region. In starting from the soil, this project is important not just for the stories and actors it highlights, but also what it decenters. In the case of East Africa, this means eliding the ethnic and racial logics of the colonial archive, decentering political events and figures that have dominated the region’s historiography, and reworking narratives of environmental change that centre on colonial development schemes.
