Objective 2. 1. Using the data from the identified disproportionate population identified, Grantee will develop and implement outreach campaigns to identify and train trusted messengers to deliver COVID-19 vaccine safety and effectiveness to these communities and populations. These trusted messengers can include, but are not limited to:
Objective 2. To ensure that any use of waterbirds in the Agreement area is sustainable (AP Headings A, C) Successfully tackling the issue of unsustainable use of waterbirds is a key prerequisite for achieving the goal of this strategic plan. The desired result under this objective is that by 2017, across the AEWA region, a number of unsustainable practices will be eliminated, while facilitating processes will be introduced and implemented. Five targets have been set to this effect:
Objective 2. CONTRACTOR shall obtain from eighty percent (80%) of 5 Participants, the completed CESI within thirty (30) calendar days of admission, and the CEST shall be 6 completed at mid-point and at completion for those Participants receiving at a minimum forty-five (45) 7 calendar days of treatment.
Objective 2. To make full use of the pool and buildings by providing a range of leisure, health related and creative activities suitable for people of all cultural backgrounds, ages and lifestyles.
Objective 2. Conduct a secondary data analysis of birth outcomes to women within a 2-mile radius of the Inglewood Oil Field fence line to understand the impact of estimated exposure to oil field pollutants on birth outcomes.
Objective 2. Use tools (Objective 1) to assess invasion risks of species currently in trade in the GL Basin Goals Produce and make freely available text and online versions of risk assessment tools. Conduct workshops in their use and application. Objective 1: Develop risk assessment tools for fishes, plants, mollusks, amphibians, reptiles and crustaceans for the GL Basin. Species lists annotated for risk distributed to stakeholders across GL basin, made available online.
Objective 2. Use tools (Objective 1) to assess invasion risks of species currently in trade in the GL Basin Research Objectives Communication (Objective 3) GL governments have scientifically rigorous and comprehensive information and tools to support coordinated action to manage high risk aquatic species in trade now and in the future. Outcomes Objective 1: Risk Assessment Development 3 Invasion Process Species Elsewhere Introduced Established Invasive Gather species data and look for patterns explaining success Objective 1: Stakeholder Process • Worked throughout with Management Transition Board to ensure that our work meets the needs of state policy- makers • Developing tools is a trade-off between performance/cost/data availability, etc. • The most accurate tools are not necessarily the best! • Training Webinars and meetings for completed tools • Notre Dame STAIR tools (Science-based Tools for Assessing Invasion Risk) Objectives 1 & 2: Current Status Risk Assessment Tool Status of Tool Species assessed?

Objective 2. Reduce individual risk behaviors and strengthen support for positive social norms and structures at the community level 39
Objective 2. Reduce individual risk behaviors and strengthen support for positive social norms and structures at the community level Behavioral Interventions In renewing its commitment to reduce HIV transmission and increase early ART initiation, adherence and therefore viral suppression, the Sauti project aims to continue addressing social factors and behaviors that put KVPs at risk. In order to identify the causes of behaviors and the social structures that drive the epidemic in order to tackle the factors that increase risk and vulnerability, SBCC interventions continue to be an important part of the Sauti project’s combination prevention package. While continuing to rollout SBCC and gender norms services, the project will continue providing technical assistance to MOHCDGCE (through NACP and Health Promotion and Education departments) and TACAIDS, to review policy documents and SBCC materials and build LGA capacity on KVP programming. The Sauti project will also collaborate with the USAID-funded Tulonge Afya project and other partners to support the “Test and Start” campaign. In FY19, the Sauti project will also continue to implement activities aiming at improving positive behaviors and social norms at the individual, interpersonal and community levels in order to reduce HIV transmission and acquisition as well as increase uptake of HTS, HIVST, PrEP, FP services, early ART initiation, ART adherence and viral load suppression in line with the national Test and Start campaign. These interventions will continue to be delivered through local NGOs/CSOs with close engagement of peer network. The interventions help beneficiaries et goals for themselves and understand and restructure self-justifying or contradictory thinking. The education will continue focusing on ensuring that beneficiaries are feeling differently about themselves and their behavioral risks, rather than simply receiving new information. However, since beneficiaries’ behavior is not the only factor driving the epidemic, the Sauti project uses a five-level social-ecological model (figure 5) to understand HIV risk and transmission and ART initiation and adherence, and the effect of prevention and treatment strategies. This model considers the complex interplay between individual, family and peers, community, service delivery and societal factors. The overlapping rings in the model illustrate how factors at one level influence factors at another level. Besides clarifying factors, the model also suggests that ...
Objective 2. To develop 3D printing methods in order to generate a range of quasi-realistic anthropomorphic phantoms containing compartments fillable with known activities of radioactive liquid or standardised sealed radioactive test sources, having a range of geometrical complexity for validation of multimodal QI or absorbed dose measurement, and estimation of the uncertainties of measurement. In addition, to expand the protocol developed in JRP HLT11 for traceable calibration of SPECT QI for 177Lu activity to include PET-CT QI of 90Y and SPECT QI of 131I, validated by measurements using the quasi-realistic anthropomorphic 3D printed phantoms. The aim of this objective was to produce a range of quasi-realistic anthropomorphic phantoms containing compartments fillable with known activities of radioactive liquid or standardised sealed radioactive test sources, having a range of geometrical complexity for validation of multimodal QI or absorbed dose measurement, and estimation of the uncertainties of measurement. In addition, to define an expanded protocol for traceable calibration of SPECT QI and PET- Computed tomography (CT) QI, validated by measurements using the quasi-realistic anthropomorphic 3D printed phantoms. Generation of Anthropomorphic Phantoms Conventional phantoms for validation of quantitative SPECT/CT imaging typically consist of regular geometric shapes such as spheres or cylinders. 3D printed phantoms can provide unique, patient-representative, activity distributions that can be used to validate quantitative SPECT/CT imaging. Specifically, these phantoms provide a more realistic partial volume effect in reconstructed images similar to those found in clinical images.
