Study register at ICMJE approved registry

Information about the existence and design of the translational research/clinical study is made publicly available

SOPs development

Standard Operating Procedures for sample collection, transport, storage; sequence of pathogens, diagnostics, data collection and analysis established

Project Management Committee Terms-of- Reference

To guide PMC to coordinate and monitor the project’s progress as a whole by tracking milestones and deliverables, as well as coordinate the interactions between the WP leads.

Study protocol development

A study protocol for all clinical studies

Infrastructure upgrading

NPHIs labs upgraded through purchase of equipment, installation and commissioning & data management

Development of data management plan (DMP)

The DMP’s will define data sets to be generated or processed, how these data will be accessible, and how these will be curated, stored and preserved. It will also provide the measures to safeguard and protect sensitive data. Data sharing will base on FAIR Principles. In collaboration with EPHI.

Data sets, microdata, etc (1)

Develop digitalized IDSR data tool

The Ethiopian IDSR tool will be fully digitalized; several pertinent neglected tropical diseases added
