The document is a final proposal for a COVID-19 survey in Uganda, part of the ACCESSAFRICA 2 project funded by the European Union and Global Health EDCTP. The research aims to investigate the pandemic's impact on Uganda's research regulatory systems. A team of researchers from several Ugandan institutions will lead the study. The goal is to identify weaknesses and suggest improvements to better prepare for future public health crises. The project's focus is on understanding the effects of COVID-19-related restrictions on research activities, particularly regarding ethical conduct. The expected outcome is a more robust and resilient research regulatory framework in Uganda.
