This SUSCARE project addresses the call for proposals on global health by proposing an international partnership between Norwegian and Colombian Universities, Research Institutes, and International Diabetes Federation, Colombia. The primary objective of SUSCARE is to establish a long-term partnership on advancing “SDG 3-Good Health and Well-being” by fostering the Norwegian government`s “Better Health, Better Lives” goal. The main purpose of this pre-project is to build a consortium and lay the theoretical and practical foundations for applying for Collaborative and Knowledge-building Projects (KSP) in Global Health in 2025 aimed to implement and evaluate a sustainable and equitable Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) Based Patient-centred framework for self-management of type 2 diabetic (T2D). Overall, this pre-project will help to get a better overview of the research challenges, perform necessary assessments of user requirements and research needs to improve self-management of T2D, identify, and engage potential stakeholders, and make concrete development goals and research direction for the KSP application to be submitted in March 2025.

A Sustainable AIoT Based Nutritional Recommender for Self-Management of Type 2 Diabetes among Adult Population

The partners of the present pre-project want to enhance knowledge and build capacity in youth health across all three partner institutions. This will be done by a) disseminating of updated knowledge on adolescent's physical, mental, and social health through 2 PhD projects based on data collected in the population-based Lusaka Fit Futures Study in Zambia in 2024, b) facilitating research through 2 PhD projects and promote high-quality services in response to injuries through a Spinal Cord Injury Registry at KCMC, which is a referral hospital with a specialized unit for traumatic spinal cord injuries in Tanzania c) establishment of MSc programs in physiotherapy at the south partner universities in Zambia and in Tanzania. The north partner's research group “Public Health and Rehabilitation” (FFR) holds expertise in population-based studies, patient’s registries and training of physiotherapists at MSc level and will support the research activities and supervision of the project’s PhD students. 
Lusaka Fit Futures Study and the Spinal Cord Injury Registry represent classical epidemiological research. To enhance the main projects' ability to provide new knowledge directly to stakeholders, bridging epidemiology with implementation, public involvement through strong end-user groups are needed. Relevant partners are formal representatives from the four participating governmental secondary schools in the Lusaka Fit Futures Study where the general adolescent population attend. In conjunction to the Spinal Cord Registry, NGOs such as the Atlas Alliance or other associations supporting young disabled people offer opportunities for important end-user groups. Funding for this pre-project will be used to identify and establish local partnerships outside the research sector in Lusaka in Zambia and in the Kilimanjaro and Arusha Regions of Tanzania, including involvement of the respective physiotherapy associations.

An international collaboration on adolescent's health situation in Zambia, Tanzania and Norway.

Lead exposure is a critical global health issue impacting about one-third of children globally, with Southeast Asia with Southeast Asia facing the greatest burden. Despite this, research in many low- and middle-income countries, including Vietnam, is sparse. In May 2024, UNICEF and the US Agency for International Development urged actions to eradicate childhood lead exposure, a goal supported by the Vietnamese government. However, existing research in Vietnam is mostly confined to small-scale studies near lead-recycling facilities or mines, showing elevated blood lead levels in children. Crucially, there is a lack of comprehensive data on lead exposure among the general population, particularly in children and pregnant women, which leaves major exposure sources and hotspots unidentified. 

For the past decade, UiT The Arctic University of Norway has developed equitable partnerships with Georgian institutions, focusing on maternal and child health and lead poisoning prevention. Fifteen years ago, UiT also collaborated with Vietnamese institutions on environmental health and epidemiology. Given the ongoing lead exposure challenges in Southeast Asia, Vietnam's renewed commitment to address this issue, and the interest from past partners to re-engage, the upcoming Research Council of Norway call in March 2025 is a perfect opportunity to enhance and extend our collaborations, including also non-research entities. Developing strong, equitable partnerships and a competitive proposal requires time and both virtual and in-person interactions. This pre-project aims to secure resources for these activities, planning online meetings to renew and expand partnerships, a 5-day workshop to refine research questions, engage stakeholders, and distribute responsibilities fairly. This will be followed by biweekly online meetings to collaboratively draft the research proposal for submission, ensuring all partners have significant input and joint ownership of the project.

Establishing sustainable partnerships for preventing childhood lead poisoning in Viet Nam

This pre-project aims to create a sustainable alliance of partners, both inside and outside academia, to focus on primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease in adolescents in Nepal. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of disability and death globally. In 2019, 32% of all global deaths were caused by CVDs, with more than three quarters of these in low- and middle-income countries. Most CVDs can be prevented by addressing risk factors connected to behaviour and the environment which also necessitates a life course approach as well as multisectoral collaboration. To intervene as early as possible is therefore crucial. Primordial prevention is particularly promising in resource-limited settings such as in a low-income country like Nepal where around 98% of the population have at least one risk factor for CVD.

To be able to create and establish a sustainable alliance of partners from Norway, Sweden, and Nepal, we require time and active engagement from partners in various sectors. Our ongoing research has provided a network of partners in Nepal within academia, such as Kathmandu Medical College and Patan Academy of Health Sciences. The network will now be expanded with several partners in Nepal that represent a broader geographic area and demographic profile than only the Kathmandu Valley as well as new partners outside academia such as the Nepal Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Alliance. We will also engage additional partners as required from Norway and Sweden with the aim to establish the optimal consortium to tackle the identified health challenge.

The pre-project has activities planned for 3.5 months. Throughout this time, regular meetings will be held online as needed. Both UiT and our main partner institutions in Nepal will be involved in identifying partners. In addition, UiT will lead the engagement of stakeholders while Nepali partners will be responsible for local coordination on site.

Creating a sustainable partnership to effectively address primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease in adolescents in Nepal

A predictive biomarker for Antibody Drug Conjugates in lung cancer

Worldwide, nearly 2 million children are living with HIV, with 160,000 new infections annually. Untreated, HIV progresses to AIDS, which kills 100,000 children annually, mainly in African countries (UNAIDS 2022). These deaths are now largely preventable due to the widespread availability of free antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART is a highly effective treatment, allowing HIV patients of all ages to live near-normal lives. ART also prevents HIV transmission during childbirth and breastfeeding. Yet, lapses in treatment, for both mothers and children, lead to many unnecessary new infections and deaths. 

There is an urgent need to understand the needs of HIV-affected children and their families, and to identify practical approaches to prevent paediatric infection, promote adherence to treatment, and empower families with the knowledge that HIV-positive children can lead long, healthy and productive lives, if they get the right care.

In order to address these knowledge needs, we must build a strong and equal partnership that can effectively identify the distinct barriers to HIV care for children, and co-design effective interventions. This collaboration must include an interdisciplinary team of health researchers with local and contextual knowledge, as well as public sector healthcare providers and local health organizations.

We will use the pre-project to travel to Malawi and meet with potential partners. The purpose of these meetings will be to better understand the needs of children affected by HIV, strategic considerations of policy actors, and the scope for the establishment of an equal and effective partnership across a network of collaborators. This will allow us to develop theories and potential interventions that effectively address research and policy needs.

The Philippines is frequently facing many extreme weather events that seriously affect mental health. The Mind4Climate pre-project aims to address the growing mental health crisis in the country associated with climate change. This project seeks to establish a partnership among researchers, healthcare providers, NGOs, and government agencies from Norway and the Philippines. We plan to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment, followed by designing community-based interventions and workshops that build local capacity to collaborate effectively. We, therefore, plan to design a culturally relevant, scalable project involving diverse experts from health economics, mental health, and global health ethics expertise. Depending on the foundation of this pre-project, we seek to effectively address climate-induced mental health challenges and build a research proposal for the effects of climate change on vulnerable communities in the Philippines.

Climate Change Impact on Mental Health: The Philippines Case

The AfroAccessAbility project addresses critical health disparities experienced by disabled persons in Ghana and Tanzania, with the overarching goal of improving health outcomes for disabled persons in the Global South. Despite some advancements, disabled persons face significant barriers to healthcare access that include communication challenges, discriminatory attitudes and practices, which disproportionately impact women with disabilities. The project aligns with SDG 3 ("Good health for all") and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities), focusing on bridging the health gap between disabled and non-disabled persons.

The pre-project phase focuses on building a strong consortium through co-creation with African partners. This ensures the project design integrates the lived experiences of disabled persons with rigorous academic insights, creating a robust foundation for the main project. Additionally, the pre-project aims to strengthen research collaboration networks among Organization of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), academic institutions, policymakers, and practitioners, fostering interdisciplinary partnerships and long-term impact.

Key challenges include addressing the lack of comprehensive data on health disparities between disabled and non-disabled persons, exploring variations within disability groups, and developing practical, culturally appropriate strategies to overcome barriers. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding relevant aspects, such as discriminatory practices, insufficient provider training, and inadequate communication strategies. These challenges will be addressed using innovative frameworks, such as positive deviance approaches, tailored to the local contexts of Ghana and Tanzania.

By bridging community insights and academic knowledge, AfroAccessAbility aims to advance inclusive health systems, reduce health inequities, and promote better health outcomes for disabled persons in the Global South, with scalable relevance for other regions.

Equality in Health Access for Disabled Persons

Forskningssenter for barn og unges institusjonelle spor studerer barn og unges bevegelser inn i, mellom og ut av institusjoner og tjenester som barnevern, tjenester for barn og unge med nedsatt funksjonsevne, helsetjenester for barn og unge, kriminalomsorgen og NAV. Senteret har et særlig fokus på barn og unges sårbarheter i møter med ulike institusjonelle logikker, hvordan barn og unge beveger seg og flyttes mellom ulike typer av institusjoner, hvordan de bebor og rømmer fra institusjoner og deres møter med sosial og hjelpetjenester knyttet til livsoverganger som f. eks overgangen ved 18 års alder. 
Senteret utforsker hvordan omsorgs- og kontrollfunksjoner innenfor ulike institusjoner og tjenester er vevet inn i hverandre og hvor de faglige praksisene er sterkt regulert, og analyserer disse ut fra et menneskerettighets og rettferdighetsperspektiv. Gjennom barne- og ungdomsrettet forskning har senteret som mål om å frembringe nye kunnskaper om institusjoner og tjenester. Arkitektur, design og brukermedvirkning står sentralt og senteret har som mål å utvikle innovative forslag som i større grad er tilpasset barn, unge og deres familier.

Forskningssenteret er et samarbeid mellom VID vitenskapelige høgskole, KRUS, NORCE, NTNU og HIOF. Praksispartnere er BUF-etat øst, Kriminalomsorgen, Tverrfaglig.no, NAV, NAKU og Salto. Erfaringsekspertene inkluderer en tidligere fange og gjengmedlem, LBB, Brukerrådet ved Vestfold Friomsorgskontor og LUPE.

Employing a comparative, interdisciplinary and cross-professional approach, PATHWAYS undertakes child- and youth-centred research that will generate new knowledge and build practice capacity in supporting  and improving children and young people’s institutional experiences within and journeys through Child Welfare Services (CWS), Services for Children and Youth with Disabilities (DS), Health Services for Children and Youth (HS), Correctional Services (CS) and the welfare and employment centre (NAV). The concept of ‘vulnerable institutional pathways’ refers to children’s and young people’s movements in, between and out of institutions and services, involving exposure to different institutional logics, moves between institutions, escape from institutions and vulnerabilities connected to life transitions, e.g., turning 18 years old. PATHWAYS addresses a significant gap in the existing body of knowledge by focusing on cross-institutional experiences targeting the professions of social work, child welfare, social education, nursing, correctional care, and architecture, offering comprehensive insights to address the complex needs of children, young people and their families. Through active collaboration with partners in the practice field, children and youths as ‘experts by experience’ the overarching aim of the centre is to connect the fields of research, education and practice with users in order to develope innovative institutional settings. This comprise physical spaces that promote children and young people’s participation and facilitate the delivery of social work, milieu therapy, milieu work and relational practices that meet children and young people’s needs for care and control. Analytically, PATHWAYS explore the inter-twining of care and control functions in various institutional arenas where professional practices are highly regulated and will analyse these from a procedural justice perspective.

Til tross for relativt høy velstand og gode i sosiale tjenester i Norge, lever mange norske barn og unge i sårbare livssituasjoner. Mange står også i fare for å falle utenfor skole og sosiale fellesskap. Senter for barn og unge og sosial beredskap samler innsatsen innen forskning, utdanning og praksis for å møte disse samfunnsutfordringene, der også barn og unge skal involveres både i forskningsdesign, utforskning, dataanalyse og formidling. Med søkelys på sårbare livssituasjoner og sosial beredskap retter det tverrfaglige senteret oppmerksomheten mot sosiale, snarere enn individuelle sårbarhetsfaktorer. 
Sosial beredskap handler både om å utvikle forståelse for det sosiale limet i samfunnet, om å mobilisere ressurser i det offentlige og i det sivile samfunn, og lage ordninger som motvirker utenforskap. Dette kan være kritiske hendelser i hverdagen, som mobbing eller overgrep, eller større samfunnskritiske hendelser, som koronaepidemien er et eksempel på. 
Senteret skal frambringe kunnskap om sosial beredskap som tilnærming til tidlig innsats rundt barn og unge i sårbare livssituasjoner. Vi vil bidra med kunnskap om hvordan "samarbeid" og "sårbarhet" har blitt definert, forstått og anvendt, og hvordan sårbarhet oppstår i praksis. 
Videre vil vi bidra med kunnskap om hvordan skolen sammen med barnet, familien, lokalsamfunnet og offentlige aktører kan etablere en tidlig sosial beredskap for å fange opp og gi støtte til de som står i fare for å kunne oppleve utenforskap tidlig og gi støtte. 
Sammen med studenter, en rekke aktører i praksisfeltet og vårt internasjonale samarbeidsnettverk, skal vi utvikle og prøve ut forskningsbaserte samarbeidsmodeller og beredskapsøvelser på tvers av fag, disipliner, tjenester og sektorer. Ideen er at kunnskapen skal kunne brukes til å forbedre både praksiser og systemer, samt danne grunnlaget for å utvikle undervisningstilbud som kan styrke både profesjonsutdanninger og -praksiser.

Despite the relatively high wealth and robust social services in Norway, more Norwegian children and youth (C&Y) live in vulnerable situations than we might or should expect. Poverty is one factor that increases vulnerability, as does domestic and sexual abuse, and bullying and exclusion in school. C&Y who have endured these adverse contexts and conditions have a greater incidence of contact with child welfare services, of becoming juvenile crime offenders, and of being over-represented among those with low school performance. This proposal aims to establish a research centre that will coalesce its efforts in research, education, and practice to respond to these prevailing social challenges. By focusing on "children and youth in vulnerable life situations" rather than "vulnerable youth" we aim to refocus attention onto social, rather than individual, factors of vulnerability. Rather than treating vulnerability as a static concept, we start from a rigorous examination of how it has been defined, applied, and understood both institutionally and by C&Y themselves, by involving C&Y in both research design, exploration, data- analysis and dissemination. The PrepChild centre will focus on public social preparedness and the need to prevent marginalisation by redeveloping and optimising the conditions – in domestic spheres, educational arenas, social & digital domains, and local communities – of the lives of C&Y. Doing so effectively, however, requires more rigorous and critically informed collaboration between sectors & institutions, and our centre begins from an analysis of how 'collaboration' and 'vulnerability' have been engaged, understood, misunderstood, and misapplied. 
The PrepChild centre will become the hub for a nexus of research, education, and practice on social preparedness that can be applied through up-to-date training & exercises and collaboration across subjects, disciplines, services, & sectors.

The project's goal is to explore and develop mathematical and numerical methods for analyzing stochastic transport equations. These equations are essential for understanding how random fluctuations (noise) affect dynamic systems such as turbulence, water waves, geophysical flows, and compressible fluid motion. Transport equations are a type of partial differential equations used to model the movement and dispersion of quantities like mass, energy, or chemical substances in a medium. These equations account for the velocity field, which describes the direction and speed of movement in the medium. By including stochastic elements in these models, we can consider random influences or noise that occur in the system. This is crucial because many natural and industrial processes are subject to unpredictable factors, which can impact their dynamics. The project focuses on gradient noise, where the velocity fields are influenced by noise. This enables energy-conserving solutions, which is desirable in fluid mechanics. Energy conservation refers to the principle that the total energy in a closed system remains constant over time, even though it may change form. Conventional approaches add so-called Itô noise in the source terms, which continuously injects energy. We use Stratonovich- and Marcus-type fluctuations to represent this noise in the velocity fields of the transport equations. The project aims to develop new mathematical and numerical theories to handle the specific challenges posed by gradient noise. We focus on understanding supercritical transport equations, nonlinear wave equations, and compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Key questions are: (1) Do these stochastic equations have a solution? (2) Is the solution unique? (3) Is the solution stable under changes in input data? (4) How can the solution be computed numerically?

Our project is at the cutting edge of numerical analysis of SPDEs affected by transport noise. Such equations have emerged as a focal point in mathematical research, due to their critical applications in areas like fluid dynamics, turbulence modeling, and geophysical flows. This heightened interest is driven by the need for deeper understanding and precise analysis of these complex phenomena, where SPDEs offer vital insights and predictive capabilities. What sets our research apart is its emphasis on transport-dominated systems driven by gradient noise operators. Prior numerical analysis studies have explored SPDEs with stochastic forcing, but the examination of gradient noise is still in its infancy. The complexity of gradient noise, involving anisotropic (integro-) differential operators due to stochastic calculus, presents unique challenges. There is a pressing need to develop methods that preserve the hyperbolic structure of these equations. Our project aims to pioneer this field by devising theoretically sound numerical algorithms and creating novel frameworks for stability and convergence. Our work considers supercritical transport equations, nonlinear wave equations, and the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Research on stochastic transport equations is inspired by the famous Kraichnan turbulence model, which posits advection through a Gaussian velocity field. Yet, there is a growing consensus that noise in turbulent velocities might be better represented by a Lévy process with jumps. As the second main advancement of our project, we are breaking new ground by pioneering the analysis of SPDEs affected by Marcus-type gradient noise. This area is critically important yet hardly explored, with vast potential for groundbreaking discoveries. Marcus noise is distinct for adhering to the Newton-Leibniz chain rule, which is important in fluid dynamics, unlike the Stratonovich interpretation which fails to do so in the presence of jumps.

Mainstream: making Ocean and Water issues mainstream knowledge

Det Small Scientist oversetter fagfellevurderte artikler innen marin vitenskap til barnebøker, som brukes som et verktøy for havkunnskap i 256 barnehager over hele Norge. Prosjektet var et samarbeid for å formidle havvitenskap gjennom litterær prosa og illustrasjoner i boken "Callie og Vannveggen". 

Ved å benytte rim og tradisjonelle fortellerteknikker, bruker "Callie og Vannveggen" kunnskapsbasert undring for å introdusere leseren/lytteren for viktige temaer innen marin økologi. Emner som vertikal migrasjon av hoppekreps, trofiske interaksjoner, oseanografi, utstyr for prøvetaking av marin vitenskap, den vitenskapelige metoden, og det samarbeidende teamarbeidet fra både forskere og (antropomorfiserte) hoppekrepsvenner. Bruken av følelser gjennom historien fremmer en emosjonell tilknytning til livet i havet. Skrive- og illustrasjonsstil formidler ikke bare marin vitenskapsinformasjon, men gir også muligheter for lekbasert læring for små barn, og bidrar dermed til dypere bevaring av informasjon.

"Callie og Vannveggen" er en havvitenskapshistorie som utspiller seg i Norge og er basert på norsk forskning. Å ha en regional setting er viktig for lesere/lyttere for å knytte seg til sin nasjonale naturhistorie.

Tradisjonell vitenskapskommunikasjon tenderer mot tørt materiale, er begrenset i tilgjengelighet og har ofte en mismatch mellom forskernes ideer og sluttbrukernes behov. Gjennom samarbeidsarbeid fra starten av, var Det lille forskningsprosjektet i stand til å skape et produkt som formidlet vitenskap, brukte aldersriktig språk og illustrasjoner, og som garantert ville bli brukt av sluttbrukeren (Læringsverkstedet) som et nasjonalt verktøy for havkunnskap.

Small Scientist will promote ocean literacy among the youngest members of society within Norway by creating children's literature from peer-reviewed scientific articles. The project will disseminate research findings from the SEA PATCHES (project number 268391) and STRESSOR (287043) projects. The project is in addition to previously planned outreach efforts.

The project will create a picture book for children aged three to five years. The book will be used in Norwegian barnehagene to teach young children ocean science. 

The most critical R&D challenge is how to communicate topics such as big data, copepod migration behaviour, oceanographic processes, research activities and the scientific method to small children. There is a mismatch between the outreach ideas of scientists and the needs of the end-user. To mitigate the mismatch, a interdisciplinary approach will be initiated from the project start with collaborative work involving the lead scientist in the SEA PATCHES and STRESSOR projects, a science communicator, an award winning children's literature illustrator, and pedagogical experts in early childhood pedagogy from Læringsverkstedet AS.

Læringsverkstedet AS is also the end-user. The dual roles held by Læringsverkstedet AS will ensure that the end product holds educational value at an age appropriate level.
