Aims • To establish robust systems for monitoring the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases. • To develop evidence-based strategies for reducing the burden of these diseases. • To estimate the economic and social costs associated with these diseases in order to guide cost-effective healthcare interventions. • To evaluate the contribution of molecular mechanisms to disease etiology. • To build capacity in healthcare research: • To utilise the skillsets of the CDRC in order to create a robust and secure research data management environment for use across the university and by external collaborators. • To provide postgraduate research training. • To strengthen and extend diagnostic laboratory capacity nationally and in the Eastern Caribbean. • To collaborate intra-murally, with governments, non-governmental organisations, regional and international organisations in addressing the chronic disease epidemic. CDRC PROGRAMME 1: Surveillance. This programme is based on the Barbados National Registry for Chronic Non-communicable Disease (the BNR), which focuses on stroke, heart attacks and cancer, and underpins priority areas 1 to 3. CDRC PROGRAMME 2: Inflammation and Wound Healing. Priority area 4 (to evaluate the contribution of molecular mechanisms to disease etiology) remains the same, but has been extended to cover the role of inflammation in surgery and other diseases with an inflammatory pathogenesis. CDRC PROGRAMME 3: Capacity Building. Finally, a new core programme (addressing priority area 5) has been added to reflect the capacity building which the CDRC has undertaken in the past 5 years, both infrastructurally and in human resource training, at national and regional levels. • BLR: The Barbados Lupus and Rheumatology registry. • BNR: The Barbados National Registry for Chronic Non-communicable Disease.

Curriculum review and development continued, at both the the 2011/12 academic year, approximately 4% above the last academic year. The number undergraduate and graduate level, and the faculty began serious work on projects to attract of students graduating from the Faculty increased to its highest level recorded to date. A growth and income earning. total of 185 students graduated, 110 females and 75 males. The distribution of Honours awarded was similar to previous years with 11% of the graduands attaining First Class During the academic year, the core Level 1 Basic Mathematics course was delivered as two Honours (Table 1). The distribution among the departments and CIMH, by gender, is shown courses. A further two new courses were taught, one was discontinued, and another eight in Table 2. were developed and gained approval. The review of the subject area of Mathematics was completed and the report of the Review Team was received in April 2012. Students in the Faculty continue to pursue a wide range of programmes (Table 3). Single Major combinations have become the most popular degree choice and the Faculty continue A further four staff members graduated from the postgraduate Certificate in University to allow students the freedom to combine disciplines within the Sciences and between Teaching & Learning programme (CUTL). Eleven staff members are currently enrolled in other faculties. This freedom of choice is however, creating timetable challenges and may the programme and a total of twelve members have graduated, to date. need reviewing in the near future. A Minor in Medical Electronics was introduced while Computer Science, at the Preliminary Computer Science remains the most popular major, with Chemistry and the other level, was delayed to the next academic year. The Faculty Plan to develop Earth Sciences, traditional natural sciences regaining ground (Table 5). at the undergraduate level, as an interdisciplinary Faculty-managed major have not yet progressed due to budget constraints. This year, Agiel Browne from St. Kitts & Nevis, was awarded the Dean’s Prize. He graduated with a GPA of 4.15 in Information Technology & Accounting. The proxime accessit was The Faculty was again very active in Campus Research Week. There was participation in Jordonna Laborde, from St. Vincent, with a GPA of 4.13, graduating with majors in many activities including College Fairs, School visits, and guided tours to schools of campus Mathematics & Meteorology. The average GPA of the graduating class was 2.52 and the facilities. average number of year to attain the degree was 3.68 years. The Honours breakdown was: The main research instruments in the faculty continue to contribute to a vibrant R & D 1st Class – 3.78 GPA (3.05 years) drive in the faculty. In collaboration with the Faculty of Medical Sciences, the proposed 2.1 – 3.26 GPA (3.38 years) commercial Analytical Testing Lab successfully tested its capabilities with a pilot project for 2.2 – 2.50 GPA (3.88 years) the Barbados Drug Service.

This represents an increase in Commercial Analytical Lab Facility (CAL Facility) research at both the MPhil. and Ph.D. level with a slight decrease at the MSc. level. A market survey was conducted to quantify the nature of current and projected future demands for analytical services which UWI proposed to offer to potential clients in The Faculty and its departments mounted numerous seminars during the academic year, Barbados. The Faculty successfully conducted a pilot project with the Barbados Drugs at various levels.

Some projects were: sector. Specific areas were identified for training in the private sector and UWI now has to assess the feasibility of implementing suggested projects. SOLPROM Group The SOLPROM group continues collaboration with private and public sector, and NGO’s, to promote the development of renewable energy in Barbados and in Small Island STAFF Developing States. The ultimate goal of the collaborative effort is to transform the campus environment into a Renewable Energy Technology Demonstration Centre.
