This grant will implement and evaluate a multi-faceted series of evidence-based interventions aimed at decreasing epilepsy-associated stigma, improving the socioeconomic status of PWE and lowering the rates of seizure-related morbidity and mortality in four Zambian Provinces. Five distinct interventions will be initiated and for each intervention, intermediate outcomes (process measures) will be assessed.
The goal of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE Rehabilitation in Children after of Computerized Cognitive Rehabilitation Training (CCRT) in improving neuropsychological performance and psychiatric outcomes in Ugandan children who survive severe malaria and to evaluate whether severity of malaria illness (e.g., immunological brain inflammation, EEG abnormalities) is predictive of neuropsychological benefit from CCRT. Determinants of Malaria Disease INTERNAL MEDICINE, The main goal of this research is to establish a self- sustaining research entity capable of developing the scientific basis for designing, implementing, and evaluating malaria control and prevention strategies and to identify, understand and evaluate interventions that target the determinants of malaria disease by systematically surveying populations of vectors, hosts and parasites using newly developed molecular and genomic tools in conjunction with well-established International Projects: Health and Nurtrition

Enhancing Ugandan HIV-Affected PSYCHIATRY OSTEOPATHIC In the face of economic instability and nutritional, medical OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE Child Development with Caregiver MEDICINE; and educational deprivation, HIV-affected very young children are the most vulnerable HIV subgroup globally because their families are often the most vulnerable, with little margin for sustaining a favorable developmental milieu for the child. Through strategic caregiver interventions during this sensitive period of child neurodevelopment, our study findings have the potential for positively re-directing the developmental trajectories of tens of millions of HIV-affected children globally.
Determinants of Malaria Disease Internal Med OM The main goal of this research is to establish a self- sustaining research entity capable of developing the scientific basis for designing, implementing, and evaluating malaria control and prevention strategies and to identify, understand and evaluate interventions that target the determinants of malaria disease by systematically surveying populations of vectors, hosts and parasites using newly developed molecular and genomic tools in conjunction with well-established epidemiologic approaches.
The MSU-based Partnerships for Sustainable Community Development program is an alliance of local and international organizations working together to make communities more sustainable in their health, education, economic and general well being. Several MSU colleges are involved, as the initiative was designed to take an interdisciplinary, holistic approach to addressing community sustainability issues.

A DOSE-ESCALATION, SAFETY NEUROLOGY & OPHTHALMOLOGY In this Malawi-based dose- escalation, safety and OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE AND FEASIBILITY STUDY OF feasibility study of enteral levetiracetam in pediatric CM, the groundwork for future efficacy studies aimed at improving seizure control will be laid and ultimately it would aim to decrease the neurologic morbidity of This study is designed for children who had suffered from severe malaria three months earlier and were enrolled into a cognitive intervention program and assessed for the immediate benefit in cognitive, academic and behavioral outcomes and they will also be provided with
