COMMERCIAL LUNAR PAYLOAD SERVICES (CLPS) CONTRACT TASK ORDER CS-7

A PILOT FEASIBILITY STUDY TO INTEGRATE PREP INTO EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS USING DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS - PROJECT SUMMARY ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC IN THE UNITED STATES WILL REQUIRE INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES FOCUSED ON BOTH HIV PREVENTION AND CARE. WHILE PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PREP) IS A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BIOMEDICAL INTERVENTION THAT CAN REDUCE HIV INCIDENCE, UPTAKE HAS BEEN MODEST, PARTICULARLY AMONG GROUPS AT HIGHEST RISK FOR ACQUIRING HIV (E.G., MSM, YOUNG PEOPLE, RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITIES, AND WOMEN OF COLOR). BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL PREP INITIATION INCLUDE STRUCTURAL AND INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL ISSUES AS WELL AS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH). INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES ARE NEEDED TO IMPROVE PREP AWARENESS, ACCESS, AND UPTAKE IN VENUES THAT ROUTINELY CARE FOR VULNERABLE PATIENTS. EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS (ED) SERVE AS A SAFETY NET FOR UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE UNLIKELY TO ACCESS OR ENGAGE IN ROUTINE HEALTH SERVICES. EFFORTS TO SCALE-UP PREP AND EXPAND ITS REACH HAVE INCLUDED ED-BASED PREP PRESCRIBING, YET PREP UPTAKE, LINKAGE TO CARE AND PERSISTENCE HAVE PROVEN CHALLENGING. A FOCUS ON APPLICATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS USING IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE (IS) TO STRENGTHEN PREP DELIVERY IN THE ED AND URGENT CARES (UC) TO THOSE WHO WILL BENEFIT MOST HAS BEEN LIMITED TO DATE. THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO USE ESTABLISHED IS METHODS TO DEVELOP, VALIDATE, AND PILOT TEST A PATIENT-CENTERED DECISION SUPPORT TOOL (DST) TO PROMOTE PREP PERSISTENCE POST ED/UC CARE. BASED ON THE WHO SDOH FRAMEWORK, WE SEEK TO DEVELOP A DST THAT CAN BE ADMINISTERED IN ED/UC SETTINGS AND WILL ASSIST PREP ELIGIBLE PERSONS TO IDENTIFY THEIR HIV RISK, PROMOTE SELF-EFFICACY, AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR SDOH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE TOOL. FIRST, WE WILL USE PILOT DATA, PREVIOUSLY VALIDATED TOOLS, AND EVIDENCE FROM THE ED PREP IMPLEMENTATION LANDSCAPE TO DESIGN A PATIENT- CENTERED PREP DST USING THE CONSOLIDATED FRAMEWORK FOR IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH. WE WILL THEN REFINE THE DST USING A PARTICIPATORY PROTOTYPING WORKSHOP ENGAGING CURRENT, PRIOR AND POTENTIAL PREP USERS. THE DST WILL BE DESIGNED TO OPTIMIZE PREP INITIATION, ADHERENCE AND PERSISTENCE POST-ED/UC CARE BY IMPROVING HIV RISK ASSESSMENT, SELF-EFFICACY, AND BY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING THE MULTIFACETED MEDICAL AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL PATIENT. NEXT, WE WILL DETERMINE THE ACCEPTABILITY OF THE DST USING THE NORMALIZATION PROCESS THEORY ACROSS EDS AND UCS IN THE DC-BALTIMORE REGION. FINALLY, WE WILL CONDUCT PRELIMINARY EFFECTIVENESS TESTING OF THE DST AMONG 120 PREP ELIGIBLE PATIENTS THROUGH A PILOT IMPLEMENTATION STUDY AT TWO EDS AND ONE UC IN BALTIMORE AND DC COMPARING PREP PRESCRIPTION ONLY TO PREP AND THE DST. THE PRIMARY OUTCOME WILL BE 4- MONTH PREP PERSISTENCE; WE WILL ALSO MEASURE PREP LINKAGE TO CARE, INITIATION, PERSISTENCE, AND ADHERENCE AT 1-WEEK, 1- AND 4-MONTHS USING SELF-REPORTED, CLINICAL, AND BIOLOGICAL MEASURES. THIS PROJECT ALIGNS WITH NIH AND EHE PRIORITIES AS IT SEEKS TO IMPROVE THE PREP CONTINUUM OF CARE IN TWO URBAN AREAS WITH HIGH HIV PREVALENCE RATES, REDUCE HEALTH INEQUITIES, AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH WILL IDENTIFY FACTORS THAT SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION WITH THE GOAL OF USING THESE DATA TO IMPROVE PREP UPTAKE, PROVIDE LESSONS LEARNED, AND SEEK TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM TO OTHER EDS BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY.

VENDOR WILL PROVIDE A LICENSED MEDICAL PROVIDER (MD, DO, PA, NP) SUPPORT FOR COMPLETION OF THE ANNUAL PERIODIC HEALTH ASSESSMENT (PHA), DEPLOYMENT HEALTH ASSESSMENT (PDHA, PDHRA), PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. SERVICES WILL BE 4 DAYS/WEEK. SEE PWS CRITERIA.

PURPOSE: THE PROPOSED PROJECT IN THIS APPLICATION WILL EXTEND MIDDLE MILE INFRASTRUCTURE TO UNSERVED AND UNDERSERVED AREAS AND PROMOTE BROADBAND CONNECTION RESILIENCY THROUGH THE CREATION OF ALTERNATIVE NETWORK CONNECTION PATHS. THIS PROJECT FOR THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA WILL EXTEND INTO MISSOURI AND WILL INCREASE REDUNDANCY AND RESILIENCY AS WELL AS INCREASING COMPETITION IN THIS RURAL AREA. SEVERAL CUSTOMERS THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE INCREASED CAPACITY AND REDUNDANCY CREATED BY THE NEW ROUTES WHICH WILL HELP LOWER THE COST OF BANDWIDTH SERVICES (SUB 1 GBPS) IN RURAL AREAS WHERE THE COSTS OF CONNECTIVITY MAKE RATES UNECONOMIC, WHICH INHIBITS FUTURE CONNECTIVITY GROWTH IN THE REGION. THIS PROJECT WILL NOT ONLY INCREASE THE RESILIENCY AND REDUNDANCY OF THE MIDDLE MILE NETWORK, BUT IT WILL ALSO REDUCE COSTS AND SPUR THE MORE RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF LAST MILE SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS. IN PARTICULAR, THESE ROUTES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GROW AND STRENGTHEN FIXED WIRELESS AND CELLULAR CONNECTIVITY, INCLUDING ADVANCEMENTS IN NEW WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES WHICH ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY OTHER MEANS THAN FIBER. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: PROJECT WILL USE FIBER TO BUILD NEW/RESILIENT MIDDLE MILE NETWORK THROUGH UN/UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WITH A COMMITMENT TO OPEN ACCESS AND CARRIER NEUTRAL NON-DISCRIMINATORY INTERCONNECT. THE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE IS EXPECTED TO BE 4 YEARS.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE PROPOSED PROJECT HAS THE FOLLOWING GOALS AND DELIVERABLES: EXTEND NETWORK FROM MISSOURI INTO OKLAHOMA TO INCREASE REDUNDANCY AND RESILIENCY AND COMPETITION RURAL AREAS WORK WITH LAST MILE PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND EXPAND THEIR NETWORKS TO CONNECT HOUSEHOLDS IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ANCHOR AND ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS WITHIN THIS MARKET REACH FARMS TO PROMOTE AG-TECH CAPABILITIES ENABLE THE CONVERSION OF CELLULAR TOWERS FROM MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY TO FIBER OPTICS, GROWING NOT WIRELINE AND WIRELESS/CELLULAR ACCESS TO THE RURAL CITIZENS OF OKLAHOMA INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE ROUTE REPRESENTS MIDDLE MILE INSTALLATIONS IN 12 COUNTIES; 9 COUNTIES ARE IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND 3 IN MISSOURI. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL IMPACT A TOTAL OF 78 COMMUNITIES. ACCORDING TO JUNE 2021 FCC FORM 477 DATA, 11.77% OF THE CENSUS BLOCKS ARE UNSERVED AND 14.05% ARE UNDERSERVED. IN ADDITION, 42 WIRELINE PROVIDERS, 19 WIRELESS PROVIDERS, AND 876 TOWERS WILL BENEFIT FROM THE NEW NETWORK. 16 COMMUNITY ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS ARE WITHIN 1,000 FEET OF THE PROPOSED NETWORK (5 HIGHER EDUCATION, 6 SCHOOLS, AND 5 HEALTHCARE FACILITIES). SEVERAL TRIBAL NATIONS BENEFITING FROM THIS ROUTE INCLUDE THE PEORIA TRIBE, CHEROKEE NATION, QUAPUAW NATION, SHAWNEE NATION, AND THE MIAMI TRIBE. THIS ROUTE WILL SUPPORT RANCHES DESIRING A HIGHER GRADE OF FIBER CONNECTIVITY TO CONNECT THE MANY NEW BROADBAND DEVICES USED IN MODERN AGRICULTURE PRACTICES. THE PROPOSED NETWORK WILL ENABLE THE CONVERSION OF CELLULAR TOWERS FROM MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY TO FIBER OPTICS, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EXISTING AND NEW CUSTOMERS ACCESS TO BANDWIDTH IN EXCESS OF 10 GBPS OR DARK FIBER CONNECTIVITY. THIS ROUTE IS DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF MILES REQUIRED TO MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF RURAL COMMUNITIES SERVED. THE ROUTE HAS A HIGH LEVEL OF TOWER AND CUSTOMER DEMAND WHICH WOULD FACILITATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES, TRIBES, AND THE STATE. THIS PROJECT WILL NOT ONLY INCREASE THE RESILIENCY AND REDUNDANCY OF THE MIDDLE MILE NETWORK, BUT IT WILL ALSO REDUCE COSTS AND SPUR THE MORE RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF LAST MILE SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS. SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NONE.

ORCC: MIGRATORY ORGANISMS IN A CHANGING WORLD: FROM THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF MIGRATORY TIMING TO MODELS PREDICTING THE EFFECTS OF SPECIFIC CONSERVATION STRATEGIES. -ANIMALS TIME MANY OF THEIR BEHAVIORS TO COINCIDE WITH FEATURES OF THE ENVIRONMENT. CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING THIS SYNCHRONY AND THIS MISMATCH WILL HAVE CASCADING EFFECTS ON OUR ECOSYSTEMS. THIS PROJECT WILL EXAMINE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MIGRATORY TIMING AND RESOURCE AVAILABILITY IN A SONGBIRD. RESOURCES ON THE BREEDING GROUNDS (E.G., INSECTS IMPORTANT FOR RAISING YOUNG) ARE PEAKING EARLIER EACH YEAR. SONGBIRDS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THESE CHANGES, MODIFYING THE TIMING OF THEIR MIGRATION TO ARRIVE ON THE BREEDING GROUNDS EARLIER. THIS MISMATCH IS NOT ONLY OF CONCERN TO RESEARCHERS; FEDERAL AND STATE WILDLIFE AGENCIES ARE ALSO TRYING TO PREPARE FOR THE DOWNSTREAM CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PHENOMENON. ACCORDINGLY, THIS PROJECT WAS DESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH WILDLIFE AGENCIES. RESULTS WILL HELP POLICY MAKERS ASSESS EXISTING PROTECTION POLICIES AND TEST NEW MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR MIGRATORY SONGBIRDS. LOCAL OUTREACH ALONG THE MIGRATORY FLYWAY IS ALSO PLANNED (E.G., EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING ON MIGRATION THAT WILL CONNECT CHILDREN ACROSS NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA). UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN STEM WILL ALSO BE RECRUITED IN THIS PROJECT AND INCLUDED IN BOTH THE RESEARCH AND OUTREACH PLANS. PLASTICITY AND ADAPTATION COULD ALLOW MIGRANTS TO ADVANCE THEIR MIGRATORY TIMING, BUT DIRECT ESTIMATES OF THESE MECHANISMS AND THEIR MOLECULAR BASIS ARE RARE AND RESTRICTED TO A SMALL NUMBER OF PROXIMATE POPULATIONS. THIS PROJECT WILL BEGIN FILLING THIS KNOWLEDGE GAP, USING STATE-OF-THE-ART TOOLS FROM SEVERAL DISCIPLINES (E.G., ANIMAL MOVEMENT ECOLOGY, GENOMICS AND COMPUTER MODELING) AND DATA FROM A BROAD GEOGRAPHIC SCALE. SPECIFICALLY, (1) PLASTICITY AND (2) ADAPTATION FOR MIGRATORY TIMING WILL BE ESTIMATED AND (3) THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF THIS TRAIT WILL BE EXAMINED. ESTIMATES OF PLASTICITY AND ADAPTATION WILL THEN BE (4) INTEGRATED INTO MODELS PREDICTING HOW POPULATIONS WILL RESPOND TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND SPECIFIC CONSERVATION STRATEGIES BEING PROPOSED FOR THIS GROUP. THE SPECIES CHOSEN FOR THIS WORK ALREADY SHOWS ADVANCES IN THEIR MIGRATORY TIMING, BUT THESE ADVANCES ARE WEAKER IN POPULATIONS THAT BREED FURTHER NORTH. THIS TREND COULD RELATE TO THE FACT THAT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ON THE BREEDING GROUNDS ARE LESS PREDICTABLE FOR NORTHERN BREEDERS AND IS A QUESTION THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS. RESULTS FROM THIS PROJECT WILL BE RELEVANT TO MANY FIELDS (E.G., GENETICS, BEHAVIOR AND EVOLUTION) AND THE PREDICTIVE FRAMEWORK CAN BE USED FOR OTHER SYSTEMS, TRAITS AND ENVIRONMENTAL VARIATION. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GCR: ENGINEERING, SOCIOECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONVERGENCE OF OCEAN WAVE ENERGY RESEARCH FOR REMOTE COASTAL COMMUNITIES -THERE ARE MORE THAN 50,000 ISLANDS IN THE WORLD, ACCOUNTING FOR 17% OF THE TOTAL LAND AREA AND INHABITED BY 10% OF THE GLOBAL POPULATION. THE US ACCOUNTS FOR 18,617 ISLANDS, WHERE THE COST OF ELECTRICITY SUCH AS IN ALASKAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDS CAN BE 4-8 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE IN THE US. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR REMOTE COASTAL COMMUNITIES, SUCH AS 200 MILES OF OUTER BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA, 120 MILES OF FLORIDA KEYS, AND MANY ISLANDS IN THE GREAT LAKES. FOR POWER UTILITIES, THESE COMMUNITIES RELY ON IMPORTED FOSSIL FUELS OR MILES OF UMBILICAL CABLES, WHICH ARE VULNERABLE TO EARTHQUAKES, WILDFIRES, HURRICANES AND STORMS. WHILE THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES LIMITING SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF REMOTE ISLAND AND COASTAL COMMUNITIES, VAST ENERGY RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FROM OCEAN WAVES ALONG THE 95,471 MILES OF US COASTLINE. THE POWER DENSITY OF OCEAN WAVE ENERGY IS OVER 10 TIMES THAT OF SOLAR POWER AND 5 TIMES AS MUCH AS WIND POWER. ATTEMPTS TO HARVEST THIS RESOURCE DATE BACK TO 1799, WHEN THE FIRST PATENT WAS ISSUED. TO DATE, ABOUT 250 CONCEPTS OF WAVE ENERGY CONVERTERS (WECS) HAVE BEEN PROPOSED, BUT NONE OF THESE HAVE ACHIEVED COMMERCIAL SUCCESS. THERE IS NOT EVEN A WIDELY-ACCEPTED CRITERION BY WHICH TO JUDGE WHICH WEC CONCEPT IS MOST FAVORABLE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DRIVE AND ACHIEVE RESEARCH CONVERGENCE OF OCEAN WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION FOR EMPOWERING REMOTE COASTAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ACROSS ENGINEERING, ECONOMICS, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND SOCIOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS. THE TEAM EXPECTS TO ACHIEVE CONVERGENCE FOR POWERING REMOTE COMMUNITIES WITHIN 4-5 YEARS. IN THE LONGER TERM, WAVE ENERGY CAN DIRECTLY BENEFIT A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE U.S. POPULATION WITHOUT LONG-DISTANCE TRANSMISSION, SINCE OVER 53% OF THE U.S. POPULATION IS CONCENTRATED WITHIN 50 MILES OF THE SHORELINE. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF UNDER-SERVED COASTAL COMMUNITIES BY IDENTIFYING A PRACTICAL ROUTE TO RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY, THEREBY INCREASING THEIR RESILIENCE TO NATURAL DISASTERS, AND EMPOWERING THE LOCAL ECONOMY. IT WILL ALSO SUBSTANTIALLY BENEFIT EDUCATION FROM K-12 TO GRADUATE STUDENTS IN FOUR UNIVERSITIES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PROFESSIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT. THIS PROJECT WILL DRIVE CONVERGENCE OF OCEAN WAVE ENERGY RESEARCH THROUGH COMMUNITY-ENGAGED DECISION MAKING, 3D TECHNO-ECONOMIC SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY CO-DESIGN METHODOLOGY. THE GOAL WILL BE ACHIEVED IN TWO PHASES. PHASE I WILL DEVELOP THE WEC CONVERGENCE ROADMAP, SCREEN AND DOWN-SELECT 2-3 LEAD WEC DESIGN CONCEPTS. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY CREATING 3D ASSESSMENT METRICS TO SYSTEMATICALLY EVALUATE TECHNOLOGICAL FEASIBILITY, ECONOMIC VIABILITY, AND SOCIOENVIRONMENTAL ACCEPTABILITY IN THE EARLY FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPT AND DESIGN STAGE. PHASE II WILL INVESTIGATE THE LEADING DESIGN CONCEPTS THROUGH TRANSDISCIPLINARY CO-DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION, AND VALIDATE THE CONVERGENCE THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND OCEAN TESTS. INSPIRED BY THE DRUG DISCOVERY PROCESS, THE PROJECT WILL USE A MARKET-PULL CONVERGENCE PROCEDURE BASED ON THE NEEDS OF REMOTE COASTAL COMMUNITIES TO SCREEN VARIOUS WEC CONCEPTS FROM THE BEGINNING. THIS IS IN CONTRAST TO THE PREVAILING APPROACHES IN WAVE ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. THE PROJECT INCLUDES A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM CONSISTING OF EXPERTS IN ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENT, SUSTAINABILITY, SOCIAL SCIENCE AND AN EXTERNAL ADVISORY BOARD WITH COMMUNITY END USERS AND OEM DEVELOPERS TO IMPLEMENT A TRANSDISCIPLINARY, COMMUNITY-ENGAGED APPROACH TO THIS RESEARCH CHALLENGE.

IF LOCAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES ARE NOT AVAILABLE, RESIDENTS MUST DRIVE 2+ HOURS TO ACCESS SPECIALTY CARE. LIKE MANY RURAL COMMUNITIES, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (BH) RESOURCES ARE SCARCE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PANDEMIC WHEN LOCAL PRIVATE PRACTICE CLINICS SHUTTERED. THE LOCAL SATELLITE CCBHC OFFICE CLOSED IN 2018 DUE TO LACK OF WORKFORCE. SMC HAS RISEN TO MEET THE GROWING COMMUNITY NEED BY ADDING INTEGRATED BH SERVICES AS WELL AS A MOUD TREATMENT PROGRAM. HOWEVER, A RECENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT SHOWS THAT THE NEED IS STILL HIGH, AND WAIT TIMES FOR LOCAL PROVIDERS CAN BE 4 WEEKS OR MORE. SMC PLANS TO USE BHSE FUNDING TO HIRE LICENSED BH STAFF, INCREASE MOUD PROGRAM OUTREACH, EXPAND BH SPACE IN CLINIC, AND INVEST IN TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY TO INCREASE STAFF SKILLS AND EFFICIENCY. PROPOSED SERVICES: IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE, SMC PLANS TO DO THE FOLLOWING: HIRE AN ADDITIONAL LMFT AND A PROGRAM DIRECTOR/LICSW IN ORDER TO EXPAND PROVIDER CAPACITY. A MINOR A/R PROJECT WILL REMODEL CURRENT SPACE TO PROVIDE MORE OFFICE/GROUP SPACE FOR BH SERVICES. INCREASED TIME FROM SUPPORT STAFF WILL ALLOW FOR MORE ROBUST SCREENING, CARE COORDINATION AND CASE MANAGEMENT. IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING SUD/MOUD SERVICES, SMC PLANS TO DO THE FOLLOWING: NEW EHR UPGRADES AN D STAFF TRAINING WILL MAKE UNIVERSAL SUD SCREENING EASIER TO PERFORM AND TRACK. GROUP MEETINGS FOR THERAPY AND SUD RECOVERY WILL EXPAND CURRENT SERVICES. INCREASED PROVIDER TRAINING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH WILL INCREASE ENROLLMENT IN SMC’S SMALL MOUD PROGRAM.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ORCC - PHYSIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION & DEMOGRAPHIC RESCUE TO SURVIVE THE CLIMATE CRISIS -GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE REPRESENTS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT FOR NEARLY ALL LIFE ON EARTH. A MAJOR CONCERN ASSOCIATED WITH CLIMATE CHANGE IS THE RAPID CHANGE IN SALINITY IN BOTH MARINE AND FRESHWATER HABITATS THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE. IN HIGH LATITUDE COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS, SALINITY IS DECLINING RAPIDLY DUE TO INCREASES IN PRECIPITATION AND THE MELTING OF POLAR ICE CAPS. THESE COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS HARBOR PLANKTONIC COPEPODS, WHICH SERVE AS THE FOOD SOURCE FOR MANY COMMERCIAL FISHERIES AROUND THE GLOBE, SUCH AS HERRING AND ANCHOVY. AS THESE COPEPODS ARE VITAL FOR SUPPORTING FISHERIES AND THE HEALTH OF ECOSYSTEMS, IT IS CRUCIAL TO DETERMINE HOW COPEPOD POPULATIONS EVOLVE IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, INCLUDING CLIMATE CHANGE-RELATED SALINITY DECLINE. THIS NSF FUNDED RESEARCH PROJECT COMBINES THE EXPERTISE OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGISTS AND ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGISTS TO DETERMINE HOW THE COPEPODS EVOLVE IN RESPONSE TO DRASTIC SALINITY CHANGES. THIS STUDY WILL EXAMINE HOW OSMOREGULATORY (ION REGULATORY) FUNCTIONS EVOLVE IN RESPONSE TO SALINITY CHANGE AND WHICH MUTATIONS IN THE ION TRANSPORTER GENES ARE CAUSING THOSE CHANGES. THE RESULTS OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP MODELS THAT CAN FORECAST CHANGES IN POPULATIONS OF COPEPODS BASED ON THEIR CAPACITY TO EVOLVE IN RESPONSE TO SALINITY DECLINE. THE IMPACTS OF COPEPOD POPULATION DYNAMICS ON THE HEALTH OF COMMERCIAL FISHERIES WILL ALSO BE MODELED. THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO DEVELOP OUTREACH PROGRAMS TO EDUCATE K-12 STUDENTS AND THE BROADER PUBLIC ABOUT THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON COPEPODS, AS WELL AS HELP TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS. CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVES DRASTIC CHANGES IN THE GLOBAL WATER CYCLE, CAUSING THE FRESHENING OF HIGH LATITUDE COASTAL HABITATS, ESPECIALLY ESTUARIES. COPEPODS ARE THE MOST ABUNDANT ESTUARINE ANIMALS AND SUPPORT A LARGE PORTION OF THE WORLD'S FISHERIES. OUR PREVIOUS STUDIES REVEALED SURPRISINGLY PARALLEL RESPONSES TO RAPID CHANGES IN SALINITY IN POPULATIONS OF THE COPEPOD EURYTEMORA AFFINIS COMPLEX, WITH NATURAL SELECTION FAVORING THE SAME LOCI AND SAME SNPS (SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS), ESPECIALLY ION TRANSPORTER GENES. THIS PROJECT INTEGRATES PHYSIOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY APPROACHES TO ACCOMPLISH FIVE GOALS: 1) DETERMINE HOW THE FUNCTIONS OF ION TRANSPORTER ALLELES ARE EVOLVING AND 2) DISCOVER ALLELIC COMBINATIONS THAT ENHANCE ION TRANSPORT FUNCTION AND 3) MAXIMIZE FITNESS (SURVIVAL, REPRODUCTION) IN RESPONSE TO SALINITY AND TEMPERATURE CHANGE. THESE FUNCTIONAL DATA WILL THEN BE 4) INCORPORATED INTO EVOLUTIONARY RESCUE MODELS TO PREDICT COPEPOD POPULATION DEMOGRAPHY AND EXTINCTION PROBABILITY. FINALLY, AS COPEPODS ARE A MAJOR FOOD SOURCE FOR COMMERCIAL FISHERIES, THE MODELS 5) PROVIDE A TOOL TO FORECAST POPULATION DYNAMICS OF FISHERIES IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS STUDY WILL BROADEN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF UNDERSTUDIED ION TRANSPORT MECHANISMS, SUCH AS NA+/H+ ANTIPORTERS (SLC9B), AND LINK PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF ION TRANSPORTER ALLELES WITH FITNESS EFFECTS, REVEALING HOW SELECTION ON BENEFICIAL ALLELES WILL IMPACT POPULATION DEMOGRAPHY. MOREOVER, THIS STUDY WILL YIELD NOVEL INSIGHTS INTO HOW SELECTION ACTS ON POLYGENIC TRAITS, PARTICULARLY ON HOW SELECTION ON COOPERATING ALLELES AND THEIR EPISTATIC INTERACTIONS COULD HELP DRIVE RATES OF ADAPTATION IN THE FACE OF RAPID HABITAT CHANGE. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

CONFERENCE: INAUGURAL BERKELEY-STANFORD WORKSHOP ON VERIDICAL DATA SCIENCE -THE INAUGURAL BERKELEY-STANFORD WORKSHOP ON VERIDICAL DATA SCIENCE WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY MAY 31, 2024, AT BIDS ON UC BERKELEY CAMPUS. THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE CONSISTS OF BIN YU (UC BERKELEY, CO-CHAIR), RUSS POLDRACK (STANFORD, CO-CHAIR), MAYA MATHUR (STANFORD), AND TIFFANY TANG (UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN). THIS CONFERENCE IS JOINTLY HOSTED BY THE BERKELEY INSTITUTE OF DATA SCIENCE (BIDS) AND THE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS, PARTS OF UC BERKELEY'S COLLEGE OF COMPUTING, DATA SCIENCE, AND SOCIETY (CDSS) AND STANFORD DATA SCIENCE CENTER FOR OPEN AND REPRODUCIBLE SCIENCE (SDS-CORES). DATA SCIENCE IS PLAYING A UBIQUITOUS ROLE IN SCIENCE, SOCIETY, AND BEYOND, UNDERSCORING THE URGENT NEED TO ENSURE THE TRUSTWORTHINESS AND SAFETY OF DATA SCIENCE INCLUDING MACHINE LEARNING. THE DATA SCIENCE LIFE CYCLE (DSLC) IS OFTEN A COMPLEX AND MULTI-STEP PROCESS, INCLUDING DOMAIN PROBLEM FORMULATION, DATA COLLECTION AND CLEANING, DATA VISUALIZATION, MODEL/ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT, POST-HOC VISUALIZATION, INTERPRETATION, VETTING AND COMMUNICATION. IN EVERY STEP OF A DSLC, HUMAN JUDGMENT CALLS ARE MADE AND OFTEN UNACCOUNTED FOR IN THE TRADITIONAL UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION. VERIDICAL DATA SCIENCE (VDS) IS THE PRACTICE OF RIGOROUSLY CONDUCTING DATA ANALYSIS WHILE MAKING HUMAN JUDGMENT CALLS AND USING DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE TO EXTRACT AND COMMUNICATE USEFUL, TRUSTWORTHY INFORMATION FROM DATA TO SOLVE A REAL-WORLD DOMAIN PROBLEM. THE PREDICTABILITY-COMPUTABILITY-STABILITY (PCS) FRAMEWORK AND DOCUMENTATION HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TOWARDS VERIDICAL DATA SCIENCE. THIS CONFERENCE IS FOCUSED ON VERIDICAL (TRUTHFUL) DATA SCIENCE (VDS) FOR RESPONSIBLE DATA ANALYSIS AND DECISION-MAKING. THERE WILL BE 4 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS AND 9 INVITED SPEAKERS. WE EXPECT AROUND 100?150 ATTENDEES FROM BOTH ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY. 8-10 LIGHTNING TALK SPEAKERS WILL BE SELECTED BASED ON SUBMITTED ABSTRACTS. THIS WORKSHOP INTENDS TO BUILD A COMMUNITY OF VERIDICAL DATA SCIENCE RESEARCHERS.

CONFERENCE: 2024 OPTICS AND PHOTONICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE AND SEMINAR -THE 2024 GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE (GRC) ON OPTICS AND PHOTONICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY (OPMB), BRINGS TOGETHER CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD WHO DO RESEARCH ON LASERS AND OPTICS USED FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS. FOR A WEEK DURING THE SUMMER, THESE SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS FROM UNIVERSITIES, COMPANIES, HOSPITALS AND NATIONAL/GOVERNMENT LABORATORIES FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD, COME TOGETHER IN A QUIET SETTING ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS IN MAINE TO PRESENT THEIR LATEST RESULTS, DISCOVERIES AND INVENTIONS AND TO DISCUSS THESE WITH ONE ANOTHER. AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS PARTICULAR CONFERENCE IS THAT MORE THAN HALF OF THE ATTENDEES ARE SCIENTISTS WHO ARE THE BEGINNING OF THEIR CAREERS (GRADUATE STUDENTS AND THE LIKE) WHO WILL HAVE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM AND INTERACT WITH THE WELL-KNOWN AND ESTABLISHED SCIENTISTS AND LEADERS IN THEIR FIELD. THE CONFERENCE ALSO HAS MADE A STRONG EFFORT TO BRING TOGETHER A VERY DIVERSE GROUP OF ATTENDEES WITH CLOSE TO 40% BEING FEMALE, MORE THAN 1/3 OF THE ATTENDEES COMING FROM COUNTRIES OUTSIDE OF THE US AND A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER BEING PART OF TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENT GROUPS IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. ONE OF THE RESULTS OF THIS FROM PREVIOUS CONFERENCES LIKE THIS ONE, HAS BEEN THAT THE PARTICIPANTS GET TO REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER AND START TO WORK TOGETHER. THEY BECOME COLLEAGUES AND COLLABORATORS AND IN SOME CASES FRIENDS FOR LIFE. ULTIMATELY THIS MEANS THAT TOGETHER THEY CAN MAKE MORE RESEARCH PROGRESS THAN EACH PERSON CAN ON THEIR OWN WHICH IN TURN BENEFITS SOCIETY AND ULTIMATE THE PATIENTS THAT BENEFIT FROM THESE NEW TECHNOLOGIES. DURING FORMAL PRESENTATIONS AND INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE MEETING IS TO WORK TOGETHER AND EXCHANGE IDEAS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LIGHT INTERACTS WITH BIOLOGICAL TISSUE AND HOW LASERS AND OTHER OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES CAN BE USED TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT DISEASES SUCH AS CANCER OR HEART DISEASE AND USE THOSE HIGH TECH APPROACHES TO UNDERSTAND HOW CERTAIN PARTS OF THE BODY SUCH AS THE BRAIN ACTUALLY WORK. THE THEME OF THE 2024 GRC-OPMB CONFERENCE IS ?BIOPHOTONICS: FROM FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS TO APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY?, THE CONFERENCE WILL CONSIST OF 9 SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS WITH 3 OR 4 INVITED SPEAKERS EACH. EACH SESSION WILL FOCUS ON A BIOPHOTONIC TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH QUESTION OR APPLICATION AREA. TOPICS WITHIN A SESSION SPAN THE FULL SPECTRUM FROM FUNDAMENTAL BIOPHYSICS TO BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE QUESTION TO CLINICAL MEDICINE AND EXPLORE THE CURRENT AND FUTURE USE OF THESE ADVANCES FOR IMPROVING HEALTH AND WELLNESS. MOST OF THE TOPICS AND SESSIONS DIRECTLY ALIGN WITH THE INTEREST AND MISSION OF THE NSF, ESPECIALLY THE SESSIONS ON ?QUANTUM BIOPHOTONICS?, ?AI/ML IN OPTICAL IMAGING?, ?MODELING AND THEORY OF LASER-TISSUE INTERACTIONS? AND THROUGHOUT THE CONFERENCE AND ITS PARTICIPANTS THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT FOCUS ON EARLY CAREER INVESTIGATORS AND DIVERSITY. IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE 4 POSTER SESSIONS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK WHERE ALL ATTENDEES ARE ENCOURAGED TO PRESENT THEIR LATEST RESEARCH FINDINGS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

CAPE LAUNCH OPERATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT III BLUE ORIGIN

REFINING TRICHOMONAS VAGINALIS TREATMENT IN WOMEN AND MEN. - ABSTRACT TRICHOMONAS VAGINALIS IS ESTIMATED TO BE THE MOST COMMON NON-VIRAL SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION (STI). IT CAUSES CONSIDERABLE AND COSTLY PERINATAL/REPRODUCTIVE MORBIDITY, DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTS PERSONS OF COLOR, AND CAN AMPLIFY HIV TRANSMISSION. AFTER OUR TWO TRIALS FOUND MULTI-DOSE ORAL METRONIDAZOLE (MTZ) TO BE SUPERIOR TO SINGLE-DOSE 2 G ORAL MTZ, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION NOW RECOMMENDS MULTI-DOSE MTZ AS THE TREATMENT OF CHOICE FOR T. VAGINALIS IN ALL WOMEN. SINCE NEITHER TRIAL INCLUDED MEN AND THERE IS A PAUCITY OF DATA IN MEN, SINGLE-DOSE 2 G ORAL MTZ STANDS AS THE RECOMMENDED TREATMENT FOR MEN. IN BOTH FEMALE TRIALS, HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH MULTI-DOSE ORAL MTZ WAS FOUND TO BE SUPERIOR TO SINGLE-DOSE MTZ, MULTI- DOSE MTZ STILL HAD UNACCEPTABLY HIGH RATES OF BREAKTHROUGH INFECTION (9%-11%). WITH APPROXIMATELY 2.6 MILLION CASES OF T. VAGINALIS PER YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES, OVER 280,000 PERSONS/YEAR ARE ESTIMATED TO BE INSUFFICIENTLY TREATED WITH MULTI-DOSE ORAL MTZ. THUS, THERE IS A CRITICAL NEED TO REFINE T. VAGINALIS TREATMENT. SINGLE-DOSE 2 G ORAL SECNIDAZOLE (SEC), A NEXT GENERATION 5-NITROIMIDAZOLE, MAY BE A GOOD OPTION. OUR RECENT TRIAL FOUND THAT SINGLE-DOSE 2 G ORAL SEC WAS SUPERIOR TO PLACEBO IN T. VAGINALIS-INFECTED WOMEN. ORAL SEC HAS MULTIPLE BENEFITS COMPARED TO MULTI-DOSE ORAL MTZ INCLUDING A LONGER HALF-LIFE AND IMPROVED TOLERABILITY. SINGLE-DOSE SEC POSES LESS BURDEN ON THE PATIENT AND CAN TREAT BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS, A COMMON COMORBIDITY AMONG WOMEN WITH T. VAGINALIS. ON THE OTHER HAND, MTZ IS FAR LESS COSTLY AND CAN BE GIVEN DURING PREGNANCY/LACTATION. THE OVERALL GOALS OF THIS MULTI-CENTERED, RANDOMIZED TRIAL ARE TO EXAMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF ORAL MULTI-DOSE MTZ COMPARED TO SINGLE-DOSE ORAL SEC INBOTH WOMEN AND MEN WITH T. VAGINALIS. AIM 1. TO EXAMINE THE OPTIMAL TREATMENT FOR T. VAGINALIS INFECTION IN WOMEN AND MEN. THIS WILL BE DONE BY CONDUCTING AN OPEN-LABEL, RANDOMIZED, MULTI-CENTERED, PARALLEL PHASE IV CLINICAL TRIAL COMPARING ORAL MULTI-DOSE MTZ (500 MG BID FOR 7 DAYS) TO SINGLE-DOSE ORAL 2 G SEC FOR THE TREATMENT OF T. VAGINALIS IN WOMEN AND MEN. THE TEST-OF-CURE (TOC) VISIT WILL BE 4 WEEKS (± 1 WEEK) AFTER COMPLETION OF TREATMENT. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT T. VAGINALIS REPEAT INFECTION RATES AT TOC WILL BE 1.75 LOWER IN THE SINGLE-DOSE 2 G ORAL SEC ARM VERSUS THE MULTI- DOSE ORAL MTZ ARM. AIM 2 TO COMPARE THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF MULTI-DOSE ORAL MTZ VERSUS SINGLE-DOSE ORAL SEC FOR THE TREATMENT OF T. VAGINALIS INFECTION. WE WILL COMPARE THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS OF TREATMENT USING EITHER ARM, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE REPRODUCTIVE AND PERINATAL OUTCOMES ASSOCIATED WITH T. VAGINALIS INFECTION AS WELL AS INCREASED RISK FOR HIV-ACQUISITION. WE HYPOTHESIZE THE SINGLE-DOSE SEC WILL HAVE HIGHER INITIAL COST BUT WILL BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE COMPARED TO MULTI-DOSE MTZ, LARGELY DUE TO LOWER BREAKTHROUGH RATES. DATA FROM THESE AIMS WILL FILL CRITICAL GAPS IN THE LITERATURE AND PROVIDE DATA ON REFINING THE TREATMENT OF T. VAGINALIS AMONG WOMEN AND MEN, WITH THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THIS COMMON INFECTION.

NEW ANIMAL MODEL FOR LATE-ONSET FUCHS ENDOTHELIAL CORNEAL DYSTROPHY - ABSTRACT FUCHS’ ENDOTHELIAL CORNEAL DYSTROPHY (FECD) IS AN INHERITED CORNEAL DISEASE LEADING TO BLINDNESS. LOSS OF CORNEAL ENDOTHELIAL CELLS AND GUTTAE (BUMPS IN DESCEMET’S MEMBRANE) ARE PATHOLOGICAL FECD FEATURES. A DEFICIENCY OF CORNEAL ENDOTHELIAL CELLS (CEC) CAUSES CORNEAL OPACITY DUE TO LOSS OF PUMPING FUNCTION. IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE U.S., FECD PREVALENCE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 4%. CORNEAL TRANSPLANTATION IS THE ONLY TREATMENT FOR ADVANCED FECD PATIENTS. ALTHOUGH CORNEAL TRANSPLANTATION IS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL, THE SHORTAGE OF DONOR CORNEAS MAKES PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPIES FOR FECD AN UNMET MEDICAL NEED, YET THE LACK OF ANIMAL MODELS FOR LATE-ONSET FECD (WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR A MAJORITY OF CASES) HAS HAMPERED THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW THERAPIES. IN THIS PROJECT, WE WILL DEVELOP NEW ANIMAL MODELS FOR LATE-ONSET FECD. RECENT GENOMIC ANALYSES OF PATIENTS’ DNA HAVE DEMONSTRATED EXPANSION OF (CTG)N TRINUCLEOTIDE REPEATS IN THE INTRON OF THE TCF4 GENE. IN CAUCASIAN POPULATIONS, NEARLY 80% OF LATE-ONSET FECD PATIENTS HAVE LONG (CTG)N (N>30-40) REPEATS, AND THE LENGTH OF (CTG)N IS THE MOST PREDICTABLE GENETIC MUTATION FOR LATE-ONSET FECD. NEVERTHELESS, THE MECHANISM OF HOW THE LONG (CTG)N REPEATS LEAD TO FECD IS UNKNOWN. ONE HYPOTHESIS IS THAT LONG (CUG)N RNA SEQUESTERS RNA SPLICING FACTORS THAT LEAD TO ALTERATION OF RNA SPLICING AND MALFUNCTION OF CECS. THE OTHER HYPOTHESIS IS THAT THE LONG (CTG)N REPEAT INDUCES ALTERATION OF TCF4 GENE EXPRESSION THAT LEADS TO THE MALFUNCTION OF CECS. FROM VARIOUS REPORTS AND EVIDENCE, WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT LONG (CUG)N REPEAT RNA INDUCES THE FECD PHENOTYPE INDEPENDENT OF THE TCF4 GENE. TO PROVE THIS, WE WILL PRODUCE TWO DIFFERENT FECD MOUSE MODELS. IN AIM 1, WE WILL OVEREXPRESS LONG (CUG)N RNA IN THE CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM USING (CTG)960 MICE. THE (CTG)960 MICE WERE INITIALLY DEVELOPED AND USED AS A MODEL FOR MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY 1 AND EXPRESS LONG (CUG)960 TRINUCLEOTIDE RNA UNDER A TETO (TETRACYCLINE OPERATOR) PROMOTER USING THREE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES. IN AIM 2, WE WILL OVEREXPRESS LONG (CUG)N RNA IN CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM EXOGENOUSLY BY ADENOVIRUS, A MODEL THAT COULD BE APPLICABLE TO LARGER ANIMALS RELEVANT TO HUMANS. WE WILL MONITOR IN VIVO CEC DENSITY USING A ROSTOCK MICROSCOPE AND IN VIVO CORNEAL THICKNESS BY CORNEAL OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY FOR UP TO 10 MONTHS. ALSO, EX VIVO CORNEAS WILL BE USED TO EVALUATE (CUG)N RNA ACCUMULATION BY IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION, MEASUREMENT OF CEC DENSITY BY ALIZARIN RED STAINING, AND OBSERVATION OF CEC ULTRASTRUCTURE BY PLASMA-FOCUSED ION BEAM SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE. WHEN ESTABLISHED, OUR ANIMAL MODELS WILL BE USEFUL NOT ONLY FOR THERAPY DEVELOPMENT BUT ALSO FOR UNDERSTANDING EARLY EVENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LATE-ONSET FECD, SUCH AS GUTTAE FORMATION AND ALTERATION OF MRNA EXPRESSION. THESE STUDIES WILL DETERMINE THE RELATIONSHIP OF TCF4 TO LATE-ONSET FECD, ELUCIDATE THE PATHOGENIC MECHANISMS, AND CREATE ANIMAL MODELS BENEFICIAL FOR THERAPEUTIC DEVELOPMENT.

ADULT REENTRY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT (AREP) - ADULT REENTRY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT (AREP) IS A 5-YEAR PROJECT THAT WILL ENHANCE RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES WITHIN A TRAUMA INFORMED RECOVERY-ORIENTED SYSTEM OF CARE (TI-ROSC) TO REDUCE SUBSTANCE USE AND RECIDIVISM AND INCREASE EMPLOYMENT AND RECOVERY CAPITAL AMONG JUSTICE-INVOLVED ADULT MALES IN BOONE COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN AVERAGE OF 110 UNDUPLICATED CLIENTS WILL BE SERVED PER YEAR WITH A TOTAL OF 550 SERVED OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE PROJECT. THE TARGET POPULATION WILL HAVE SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS/CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS (SUD/COD) AND WILL BE 4 MONTHS OR LESS FROM SCHEDULED PRISON RELEASE, ON PROBATION OR PAROLE AND AT RISK OF RE-INCARCERATION DUE TO A VIOLATION(S), OR RECENTLY RELEASED/REFERRED TO COMMUNITY-BASED TREATMENT. THIS TARGET POPULATION WILL RECEIVE ENHANCED SERVICES WHICH FILL IDENTIFIED GAPS IN THE TI-ROSC WHICH ARE SUSTAINABLE AND EXPECTED TO PROVIDE A POSITIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT LONG AFTER GRANT FUNDING EXPIRES. THE GOALS OF THE IN2ACTION AREP PROGRAM ARE TO (1) REDUCE SUBSTANCE USE, CRIME, AND RECIDIVISM BY HIGH-RISK OFFENDERS RETURNING TO THE BOONE COUNTY COMMUNITY; (2) ENHANCE COLLABORATION BETWEEN IN2ACTION, CORRECTIONS (INSTITUTIONAL CORRECTIONS AND PROBATION AND PAROLE), AND OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICE PROVIDERS TO ASSURE A SEAMLESS TRANSITION TO THE REENTRY PROCESS FOR HIGH-RISK OFFENDERS THAT BEGINS BEFORE RELEASE; AND (3) INCREASE ONGOING SUPPORT IN THE NATURAL COMMUNITY FOR RECENTLY RELEASED HIGH-RISK OFFENDERS BY ASSISTING CLIENTS TO IMPROVE THEIR FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE THROUGH EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND/OR ENTITLEMENTS. THE MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES ARE (1) 85% OF PARTICIPANTS WILL DECREASE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY; 80% OF PARTICIPANTS WILL ABSTAIN FROM SUBSTANCE MISUSE; AND 80% OF PARTICIPANTS WILL INCREASE RECOVERY CAPITAL. (2) 80% OF PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ENGAGED PRIOR TO THEIR RELEASE THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH THE MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; IN2ACTION AND PROBATION AND PAROLE WILL INSTITUTE MONTHLY PARTNERSHIP MEETINGS; AND COLLABORATION AT THE CENTRAL MISSOURI RECOVERY COALITION’S TI-ROSC WILL BE ENHANCED/STRENGTHENED THROUGH WORK GROUPS AND MEETING AGENDAS. (3) 80% OF PARTICIPANTS WILL COMPLETE AN EVIDENCE-BASED WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM; 80% OF PARTICIPANTS WILL REPORT IMPROVED FAMILY RELATIONS AND PARTICIPATION IN PEER SUPPORT AND/OR MUTUAL SUPPORT GROUPS; AND 80% OF PARTICIPANTS WITH MEDICAL AND/OR MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS WILL BE REFERRED TO APPROPRIATE SERVICES, INCLUDING SUD/COD TREATMENT, SCREENING, AND TESTING OF PERSONS AT HIGH-RISK FOR HIV AND OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASE. THE SUCCESS AND IMPACT OF PROJECT WILL BE MEASURED THROUGH A FORMAL EVALUATION CONDUCTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA.

AN MHEALTH APPROACH TO DECREASING OPIOID ABUSE AND OTHER DISEASES OF DESPAIR IN RURAL POPULATIONS - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT RURAL AMERICANS FACE NUMEROUS HEALTH DISPARITIES COMPARED TO THEIR URBAN COUNTERPARTS AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SUBSTANCE ABUSE. INDEED, OPIOID-RELATED MORTALITY IS HIGHEST IN CERTAIN RURAL AREAS OF THE U.S., INCLUDING APPALACHIA, NEW ENGLAND, AND THE MOUNTAIN WEST. A NUMBER OF STUDIES LOOKING AT MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE HEALTH PROBLEMS AFFLICTING LESS EDUCATED, RURAL POPULATIONS.6-9,14-15 LACK OF HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, MENTAL ILLNESS, ALCOHOL USE, AND ILLICIT DRUG USE WERE ALL SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IN THE POPULATION OF DECEDENTS, AND INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM THESE PROBLEMS ARE AT HEIGHTENED RISK FOR OPIOID MISUSE.22-29 THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A MOBILE-BASED OPIOID PREVENTION PROGRAM FOR RURAL-BASED BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS THAT PROVIDES ROBUST PREVENTIVE INTERVENTIONS AIMED AT REDUCTION IN ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, MANAGEMENT OF NEGATIVE MOOD STATES INCLUDING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION, AND NON-PHARMACOLOGIC APPROACHES TO MANAGING PAIN. THE PROGRAM AIMS TO FILL AN IMPORTANT GAP IN SERVICE PROVISION TO RURAL ADULTS AT RISK FOR OPIOID MISUSE. THE PROGRAM WILL CAPITALIZE ON TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE IN RURAL COMMUNITIES – NAMELY MOBILE HEALTH – AND WILL BE MEDIA RICH, INCLUDING A PROGRAM ‘COACH’ AND VIDEOS OF INDIVIDUALS THAT USERS CAN RELATE TO DESCRIBING THEIR EXPERIENCES DEALING WITH PAIN, SUBSTANCE USE DIFFICULTIES, STRESS AND MOOD ISSUES - AND THE IMPACT OF THESE ISSUES ON THEIR LIVES. SIMILAR TO OTHER HEALTH PROMOTION AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAMS DEVELOPED BY OUR GROUP, THE PROGRAM WILL BE HIGHLY INDIVIDUALIZED - TAILORED BY USER CHARACTERISTICS AND EXPERIENCES, DIRECTING USERS TO MANAGEMENT OF DIFFICULT MOODS, TECHNIQUES IN THE SELF-MANAGEMENT OF PAIN, AND AVOIDANCE OF ABUSING ALCOHOL AND OTHER SUBSTANCES, INCLUDING OPIOIDS. IN PHASE I, WITH CRUCIAL INPUT FROM TWO FOCUS GROUPS AND OUR EXPERT CONSULTANTS, ISA STAFF WILL DEVELOP AND PILOT TEST A MOBILE OPIOID MISUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM EMBEDDED WITHIN A LARGER HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAM. PRE-DEVELOPMENT FOCUS GROUPS WILL BE CONDUCTED WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL BE RECRUITED TO HELP SHAPE THE STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF THE PROGRAM. ISA STAFF AND THE REDMON GROUP WILL DEVELOP THE PROTOTYPE PROGRAM, FULLY DEVELOPING THE INTRODUCTION, AND EXTENSIVE SECTIONS OF MY HEALTH PROFILE, UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING MOODS, AND TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF – NEVER GIVE UP! FOR PHASE I. FOLLOWING DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERT REVIEW OF THE PROTOTYPE PROGRAM, 20 END USERS WILL BE ASKED TO PILOT TEST THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING A USABILITY TEST, QUANTITATIVE RATING OF THE PROGRAM, AND INTERVIEW ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE USING THE PROGRAM. TO ADVANCE TO PHASE II, THERE MUST BE AN 80% ERROR-FREE RATE AND QUANTITATIVE RATINGS MUST BE 4 OR HIGHER FOR ALL ITEMS.

CITRUS HUANGLONGBING (HLB) IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGES FOR SEVERAL CITRUS INDUSTRIES WORLDWIDE. THE FINANCIAL IMPACTS OF HLB ARE STAGGERING AND MAY RESULT IN CITRUS BEING REPLACED BY OTHER FRUIT TREES AND ALTERNATIVE CROPS. IN FLORIDA, WHERE THE DISEASE HAS BEEN WELL ESTABLISHED FOR OVER TEN YEARS, THE YIELD OF CITRUS TREES HAS BEEN REDUCED TO YIELDS REFLECTING THE FLORIDA INDUSTRY 70-100 YEARS AGO. THE REDUCED YIELD IS REFLECTED IN THE HIGH PRICE OF ORANGE JUICE FOR THE MORNING BREAKFAST. THE DISEASE THREATENS THE CITRUS CROP IN OTHER CITRUS-GROWING STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, AND ARIZONA. FINDING LONG-TERM, SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS IS IMPERATIVE FOR CONTINUED CITRICULTURE.CITRUS HLB IS A COMPLEX DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH A NON-CULTIVABLE BACTERIAL PATHOGEN, SPREAD BY A PSYLLID INSECT VECTOR THAT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, AND THE DISEASE HAS NO KNOWN CURE; INFECTED TREES DECLINE, PRODUCE UNMARKETABLE FRUIT, AND DIE IN A FEW YEARS. MANAGEMENT OF THE DISEASE BY PREVENTING SPREAD, CONTROL OF THE INSECT VECTOR, AND APPLICATION OF ANTI-MICROBIAL SUBSTANCES ARE GOOD PRACTICES - BUT OF LIMITED VALUE FOR A TREE CROP THAT CAN LIVE FOR SEVERAL DECADES. DESPITE INTENSIVE RESEARCH FOR THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS, TANGIBLE SOLUTIONS TO CONTROL HLB ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. NOVEL APPROACHES ARE NEEDED TO FIND PRACTICAL METHODS TO MANAGE HLB IN THE CITRUS-GROWING STATES OF THE USA. CURRENT METHODS OF DISEASE MANAGEMENT ARE NOT FINANCIALLY AFFORDABLE. EXCESSIVE USE OF PESTICIDES TO CONTROL THE PSYLLID POPULATIONS IS ENVIRONMENTALLY UNSAFE; PESTICIDES WILL LOSE EFFECTIVENESS AFTER PROLONGED USE. ECOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY BIOLOGICAL CONTROL MECHANISMS THAT REDUCE THE PSYLLID POPULATION WILL NOT BE ADEQUATE TO MANAGE HLB SINCE A SINGLE INSECT VECTOR CARRYING THE PATHOGEN CAN SPREAD THE DISEASE IN A CITRUS GROVE. WHEN THE CITRUS PROCESSING PLANTS AND JUICE FACTORIES ARE CLOSED BECAUSE OF LOW YIELD AND DISEASED FRUIT, IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO REVIVE THIS INDUSTRY INFRASTRUCTURE. LONG-TERM STRATEGIES FOR DISEASE MANAGEMENT ARE URGENTLY NEEDED TO CONTINUE CITRUS CULTIVATION IN AREAS WHERE THE INSECT VECTOR AND THE PATHOGEN HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED.CITRUS IS PROPAGATED MAINLY THROUGH GRAFTING. THE VEGETATIVE MODE OF PROPAGATION OF A LIMITED NUMBER OF CULTIVARS HAS RESULTED IN INNUMERABLE CULTIVATED TYPES, BUT THERE IS LITTLE GENETIC DIVERSITY IN CULTIVATED CITRUS. WHEN NEW PATHOGENS ARRIVE, THIS GENETIC UNIFORMITY CAN RESULT IN DISEASE EPIDEMICS AND DIRE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE CROP. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO DOCUMENTED RESISTANCE TO HLB IN CULTIVATED CITRUS. HOWEVER, OTHER CITRUS-RELATED WILD PLANTS MAY HAVE RESISTANCE TRAITS TO HLB. BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS WORK, WE DETERMINED THAT CERTAIN NON-CITRUS TAXA THAT ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO CITRUS HAVE DISEASE-RESISTANCE TRAITS AND THESE MAY BE UTILIZED TO IMPART THE MUCH-NEEDED HLB RESISTANCE TO CULTIVATED CITRUS TYPES. OUR APPROACH IS TO GENERATE NOVEL HYBRIDS OF CITRUS USING CONVENTIONAL BREEDING METHODS WITH SEXUALLY C,OMPATIBLE CITRUS RELATIVES HAVING GENETIC RESISTANCE TO THE HLB PATHOGEN. TOWARDS THIS GOAL, WE HAVE CONDUCTED A BREEDING PROGRAM SINCE 2013 BY CROSSING CITRUS ACCESSIONS WITH DISEASE-RESISTANT/TOLERANT AUSTRALIAN LIME SPECIES BELONGING TO THE GENUS MICROCITRUS. CROP RELATIVES ARE UTILIZED AS SOURCES OF BENEFICIAL TRAITS IN OTHER CULTIVATED PLANTS. CITRUS IS SEXUALLY COMPATIBLE WITH MANY CLOSELY RELATED GENERA; THIS BIOLOGICAL PECULIARITY OF CULTIVATED CITRUS TYPES WAS EXPLOITED IN OUR BREEDING PROGRAM TO GENERATE HUNDREDS OF INTERGENERIC HYBRIDS.CITRUS BREEDING IS CONSIDERED VERY DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING SINCE THE GENERATION TIME CAN BE 4 TO 5 YEARS. SINCE OUR BREEDING PROGRAM HAS BEEN IN PROGRESS FOR TEN YEARS NOW, WE HAVE GENERATED PROGENY FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF CROSSES. EVALUATION OF THE NOVEL HYBRIDS IN THE FIELD AND IN THE GREENHOUSE DETERMINED THAT HLB RESISTANCE TRAITS CAN BE INHERITED BY A SMALL PROPORTION OF THE BREEDING PROGENY. HOWEVER, SINCE ONE PARENT OF THE CROSS BEARS FRUIT THAT IS BARELY EDIBLE, MANY HYBRIDS OF THE FIRST-GENERATION CROSSES HAVE FRUITS THAT MAY NOT BE ACCEPTABLE AS SUBSTITUTE VARIETIES, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE DISEASE-RESISTANCE TRAITS. WE HAVE NOW GENERATED HYBRIDS OF THE SECOND GENERATION BY CROSSING THE PROMISING HYBRIDS FROM THE FIRST GENERATION TO COMMERCIAL TYPES OF CITRUS. A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE ADVANCED HYBRIDS IS EXPECTED TO HAVE RETAINED THE HLB RESISTANCE TRAITS AND MAY HAVE FRUIT QUALITIES SIMILAR TO COMMERCIAL CITRUS TYPES. WE PROPOSE TO UTILIZE MOLECULAR APPROACHES TO DEVELOP MARKERS THAT WILL AID IN THE SELECTION OF THE BREEDING PROGENY FROM THE SECOND GENERATION OF HYBRIDS TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS WITH PROMISING HLB RESISTANCE. IF SUCH HYBRIDS CAN RESIST HLB IN FIELD CONDITIONS AND IF THEY HAVE FRUIT TRAITS THAT ARE DEEMED ACCEPTABLE BY THE PUBLIC, WE WILL HAVE NOVEL HYBRIDS WITH DISEASE RESISTANCE AND ACCEPTABLE ORGANOLEPTIC ATTRIBUTES. CULTIVAR DEVELOPMENT OF PROMISING INDIVIDUALS WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE LARGE-SCALE CULTIVATION CAN BE ADOPTED.IF NOVEL HYBRIDS WITH GENETIC RESISTANCE TO HLB ARE DEVELOPED, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO CULTIVATE CITRUS DESPITE HAVING THE PATHOGEN AND THE INSECT VECTOR IN THE AREA. MANAGEMENT OF THE GROVES THAT HAVE RESISTANT CULTIVARS WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE GROVE MANAGEMENT DONE BEFORE HLB ARRIVED. FINANCIALLY IT WILL BE FEASIBLE TO CULTIVATE CITRUS IF ELABORATE, EXPENSIVE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ARE NOT NECESSARY. ANOTHER ADVANTAGE IS THAT THE NOVEL HYBRIDS MAY HAVE NEW FLAVORS THAT MAY ENHANCE THE KNOWN CITRUS FLAVORS THAT ARE GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH CITRUS FRUITS. WE WILL LOOK FOR THE METABOLOMICS PROFILE OF NOVEL HYBRIDS TO IDENTIFY THE FLAVOR-ENHANCING COMPOUNDS IN THE HYBRID FRUITS AND COMPARE THEM WITH STANDARD CITRUS. REPLACEMENT OF PRESENTLY CULTIVATED CITRUS VARIETIES WITH NOVEL HYBRIDS WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO MANAGE HLB. THE MOLECULAR MARKERS WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP IN THE PROJECT CAN BE USED IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE PRE-SELECTIONS FROM OUR BREEDING PROGRA,M IN CALIFORNIA. WE ENVISAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIPLE VARIETIES RESEMBLING MANDARINS, SWEET ORANGES, GRAPEFRUIT, AND LEMONS SOON. THE AVAILABILITY OF HLB-RESISTANT HYBRIDS WITH CITRUS-LIKE FLAVORS (AND SOME NOVEL FLAVORS) WILL BE EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL TO RESTORING THE CITRUS INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES. CITRUS FRUITS PROVIDE VALUABLE NUTRIENTS AND CONSTITUTE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF A HEALTHY DIET. RESTORING THE CITRUS INDUSTRIES WITH USEFUL, DISEASE-RESISTANT HYBRIDS WILL RESULT IN JOB CREATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF ECONOMIC SITUATIONS IN CITRUS-GROWING REGIONS.

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - NON-CONSTRUCTION - PLYMOUTH CROSSING 13638 SE EASTGATE WAY BELLEVUE, WA 98005 DENNIS R. SILLS PHONE: 206-374-9409 X119 FAX: 206-374-0602 DSILLS@PLYMOUTHHOUSING.ORG HTTPS://PLYMOUTHHOUSING.ORG/ REQUESTED GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS: $1,000,000.00 EASTGATE PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING (NEWLY NAMED PLYMOUTH CROSSING) IS A PUBLICLY FUNDED LOW-INCOME HOUSING PROJECT THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WILL OPEN ITS DOORS IN 2023. MANAGED BY PLYMOUTH HOUSING, THE PROJECT WILL SERVE FORMERLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE 30% OR LESS OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME (AMI) WITH 92 RESIDENT UNITS AS WELL AS 3 LIVE-IN STAFF UNITS. INCLUDED IN THE BUILDING STAFF WILL BE 4 CASE MANAGERS, A FRONT OFFICE THAT WILL BE STAFFED 24-7, AND MAINTENANCE AND JANITORIAL PERSONNEL. THROUGHOUT PLYMOUTH’S 40-YEAR HISTORY, WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED THE “HOUSING FIRST” PHILOSOPHY TO HOUSE THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WITH LOW BARRIERS AND SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPORT. THE BUILDING’S DESIGN INCLUDES PLANS FOR A NURSE’S CLINIC AND OTHER SUPPORTIVE SERVICE AREAS. THIS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY WOULD ALLOW US TO BETTER MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS, THE MAJORITY OF WHOM REQUIRE ONGOING MEDICAL CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND ADDICTION RECOVERY SUPPORT, BY HELPING COMPLETE OUR MEDICAL AND SUPPORT SPACES. ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES INTER-AGENCY COUNCIL ON HOMELESSNESS, NEARLY ONE QUARTER OF INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS HAVE A DISABILITY, WHICH CAN BE PHYSICAL, DEVELOPMENTAL, OR MENTAL HEALTH AND/OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (HOMELESSNESS IN AMERICA: FOCUS ON CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS AMONG PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, AUGUST 2018). DUE TO THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS NEEDED FOR OUR RESIDENTS, WE WILL UTILIZE THESE FUNDS TO OUTFIT THE CLINIC AND SERVICES SPACES TO ACCOMMODATE AND PURCHASE MORE ROBUST MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY, WHICH WOULD ALLOW OUR SERVICE PARTNERS TO PROVIDE SERVICES BEYOND A ROUTINE MEDICAL CHECKUP. AS PART OF PLYMOUTH CROSSING'S CURRE NT FUNDING AGREEMENTS, WE MUST SERVE 26 INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CHRONICALLY MENTALLY ILL, AND RESIDENTS WHO HAVE A SELF-IDENTIFIED DISABILITY. OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS POPULATION TELLS US THAT THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS IN THIS BUILDING WILL BE GREAT. HAVING THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE ENHANCED MEDICAL SERVICES ON SITE MEANS THAT OUR RESIDENTS DON’T HAVE TO LEAVE THE BUILDING TO RECEIVE CARE, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. PLYMOUTH HOUSING WAS INVITED BY COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO DEVELOP PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING IN THE CITY OF BELLEVUE AND BEGAN OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS BY ENGAGING WITH COMMUNITY, GOVERNMENT, AND FUNDING STAKEHOLDERS IN 2021. PLYMOUTH HELD THREE OPEN-HOUSE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, JOINED NUMEROUS COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS ORGANIZED BY OTHERS, AND TESTIFIED AT A SERIES OF BELLEVUE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR FUNDING SUPPORT. ONSITE HEALTH CARE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT WERE TOPICS RAISED CONSISTENTLY BY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND PLYMOUTH HAS PURSUED OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET THOSE SUGGESTIONS. THIS FUNDING WILL PROVIDE THE NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT EXPANDED ONSITE HEALTH CARE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES.

BLUE MOON CATERING INC IDIPF000234 E-7

PURPOSE: AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC. (AEP), THROUGH ITS OPERATING COMPANY APPALACHIAN POWER COMPANY, INC. (APCO), IS A PROVIDER OF ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION SERVICES IN WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, AND TENNESSEE, SERVING MORE THAN ONE MILLION CUSTOMERS. THE SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA MIDDLE MILE CONNECT PROJECT WILL ENABLE LAST MILE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS (ISPS) TO ADDRESS THE BROADBAND NEEDS OF RALEIGH, WYOMING, MCDOWELL, MERCER, AND SUMMERS COUNTIES IN WEST VIRGINIA. THE PROJECT ENCOMPASSES THE FIVE COUNTIES LISTED ABOVE WHOSE POPULATION IS CURRENTLY 11% UNDERSERVED BASED ON FCC DATA. THE LACK OF BROADBAND SEVERELY LIMITS ACCESS TO INTERNET SERVICES, INCLUDING THOSE RELATED TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY, HEALTHCARE, TRAINING AND EDUCATION AS WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GENERAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN SMALL TOWNS ACROSS THIS REGION. THE UNSERVED AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN THE TARGET AREAS ADDRESSED BY THE PROJECT LACK THE ESSENTIAL INFORMATION SERVICES PRESENT IN MORE PROMINENT LOCATIONS. APCO WILL OFFER MIDDLE MILE BROADBAND TO ALL QUALIFIED ISPS WITHIN ITS NETWORK SERVICE AREA WHICH WILL REDUCE BARRIERS TO ENTRY FOR ISPS, ENCOURAGE COMPETITION, IMPROVE SERVICE LEVELS, AND LOWER COSTS FOR END-USERS. ENABLING ISPS TO CONNECT TO THE PROPOSED MIDDLE MILE NETWORK WILL HELP RURAL COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS THESE SERVICES, THEREBY PROMOTING SEVERAL KEY NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL OBJECTIVES. ACCESS TO GRANT FUNDING WILL ENABLE THE NETWORK TO INCREASE AFFORDABILITY BY PROVIDING NUMEROUS ACCESS TERMINALS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT TO ENSURE THAT LAST MILE PROVIDERS CAN AFFORDABLY PENETRATE THE MOST IMPACTED COMMUNITIES AT LOWER COSTS THAT WILL THEN FLOW THROUGH TO END-USERS. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: PROJECT WILL USE FIBER TO BUILD NEW MIDDLE MILE NETWORK THROUGH UNSERVED COMMUNITIES WITH A COMMITMENT TO OPEN ACCESS AND CARRIER NEUTRAL NON-DISCRIMINATORY INTERCONNECT. THE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE IS EXPECTED TO BE 4 YEARS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE PROPOSED PROJECT HAS THE FOLLOWING GOALS AND DELIVERABLES: 1. CONSTRUCTION OF 579 MILES FIBER ROUTES AND USE OF 127 MILES OF FIBER IN APPALACHIAN POWER COMPANY'S (APCO) EXISTING NETWORK. 2. PROVIDE EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE ACCESS AT INTERCONNECTION POINTS TO INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS (ISPS), ENABLING RELIABLE AND AFFORDABLE BROADBAND ACCESS TO APPROXIMATELY 113,000 RESIDENTS. 3. FACILITATE THE PROVISION OF BROADBAND SERVICE AT SPEEDS NOT LESS THAN 1 GBPS SYMMETRICAL SERVICE FOR ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS WITHIN 1,000 FEET OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT. 4. THIS PROJECT IS PROJECTED TO IMPACT 2,955 UNSERVED HOUSEHOLD AND 20,676 UNDERSERVED HOUSEHOLD AND THESE NUMBERS ARE LIKELY UNDERSTATED PER THIRD-PARTY DATA. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA MIDDLE MILE CONNECT PROJECT WILL PROVIDE AN AFFORDABLE, LASTING, HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND SOLUTION TO THOUSANDS OF UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS, SPANNING FIVE COUNTIES ACROSS SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA WHICH HAVE SIGNIFICANT DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL COMBINE MIDDLE MILE INFRASTRUCTURE WITH LAST MILE PARTNERSHIPS TO RESOLVE THE DIGITAL GAP SEPARATING RURAL AMERICA FROM THE GREATER NATION. PER THE 2020 CENSUS THE PROJECT COUNTIES' AVERAGE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN THIS AREA REMAINS 64.4% BELOW THE CURRENT NATIONAL AVERAGE. BASED ON ECONOMIC ANALYSES, IN CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES, INCREASED BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY WOULD RESULT IN AN ECONOMIC UPLIFT, AN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE REDUCTION, AND CREATE 180 NEW JOBS ANNUALLY. UNDER MORE ASPIRATIONAL ASSUMPTIONS THAT WILL SIMULATE BROADBAND'S CAPACITY TO REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT SUBSTANTIALLY, INCREASED HIGH-SPEED ACCESSIBILITY WILL CREATE 359 NEW JOBS YEARLY. SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE APPLICANT DOES NOT INTEND TO SUBAWARD FUNDS.

PURPOSE: THE MISSOURI NETWORK ALLIANCE (DBA BLUEBIRD NETWORK) PROPOSED PROJECT IN THIS APPLICATION WILL EXTEND MIDDLE MILE INFRASTRUCTURE TO UNSERVED AND UNDERSERVED AREAS AND PROMOTE BROADBAND CONNECTION RESILIENCY THROUGH THE CREATION OF ALTERNATIVE NETWORK CONNECTION PATHS. THIS PROJECT FOR THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA WILL EXTEND BLUEBIRD'S NETWORK FROM MISSOURI INTO OKLAHOMA AND WILL INCREASE REDUNDANCY AND RESILIENCY AS WELL AS INCREASING COMPETITION IN THIS RURAL AREA. BLUEBIRD HAS SEVERAL CUSTOMERS THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE INCREASED CAPACITY AND REDUNDANCY CREATED BY THE NEW ROUTES WHICH WILL HELP LOWER THE COST OF BANDWIDTH SERVICES (SUB 1 GBPS) IN RURAL AREAS WHERE THE COSTS OF CONNECTIVITY MAKE RATES UNECONOMIC, WHICH INHIBITS FUTURE CONNECTIVITY GROWTH IN THE REGION. THIS PROJECT WILL NOT ONLY INCREASE THE RESILIENCY AND REDUNDANCY OF THE MIDDLE MILE NETWORK, BUT IT WILL ALSO REDUCE COSTS AND SPUR THE MORE RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF LAST MILE SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS. IN PARTICULAR, THESE ROUTES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GROW AND STRENGTHEN FIXED WIRELESS AND CELLULAR CONNECTIVITY, INCLUDING ADVANCEMENTS IN NEW WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES WHICH ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY OTHER MEANS THAN FIBER. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: PROJECT WILL USE FIBER TO BUILD NEW/RESILIENT MIDDLE MILE NETWORK THROUGH UN/UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WITH A COMMITMENT TO OPEN ACCESS AND CARRIER NEUTRAL NON-DISCRIMINATORY INTERCONNECT. THE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE IS EXPECTED TO BE 4 YEARS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE PROPOSED PROJECT HAS THE FOLLOWING GOALS AND DELIVERABLES: EXTEND BLUEBIRDS NETWORK FROM MISSOURI INTO OKLAHOMA TO INCREASE REDUNDANCY AND RESILIENCY AND COMPETITION RURAL AREAS; WORK WITH LAST MILE PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND EXPAND THEIR NETWORKS TO CONNECT HOUSEHOLDS IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ANCHOR AND ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS WITHIN THIS MARKET;R EACH FARMS TO PROMOTE AG-TECH CAPABILITIES; ENABLE THE CONVERSION OF CELLULAR TOWERS FROM MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY TO FIBER OPTICS, GROWING NOT WIRELINE AND WIRELESS/CELLULAR ACCESS TO THE RURAL CITIZENS OF OKLAHOMA. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE BLUEBIRD ROUTE REPRESENTS MIDDLE MILE INSTALLATIONS IN 12 COUNTIES; 9 COUNTIES ARE IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND 3 IN MISSOURI. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL IMPACT A TOTAL OF 78 COMMUNITIES. ACCORDING TO JUNE 2021 FCC FORM 477 DATA, 11.77% OF THE CENSUS BLOCKS ARE UNSERVED AND 14.05% ARE UNDERSERVED. IN ADDITION, 42 WIRELINE PROVIDERS, 19 WIRELESS PROVIDERS, AND 876 TOWERS WILL BENEFIT FROM THE NEW NETWORK. 16 COMMUNITY ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS ARE WITHIN 1,000 FEET OF THE PROPOSED NETWORK (5 HIGHER EDUCATION, 6 SCHOOLS, AND 5 HEALTHCARE FACILITIES). SEVERAL TRIBAL NATIONS BENEFITING FROM THIS ROUTE INCLUDE THE PEORIA TRIBE, CHEROKEE NATION, QUAPUAW NATION, SHAWNEE NATION, AND THE MIAMI TRIBE. THIS ROUTE WILL SUPPORT RANCHES DESIRING A HIGHER GRADE OF FIBER CONNECTIVITY TO CONNECT THE MANY NEW BROADBAND DEVICES USED IN MODERN AGRICULTURE PRACTICES. THE PROPOSED NETWORK WILL ENABLE THE CONVERSION OF CELLULAR TOWERS FROM MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY TO FIBER OPTICS, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EXISTING AND NEW CUSTOMERS ACCESS TO BANDWIDTH IN EXCESS OF 10 GBPS OR DARK FIBER CONNECTIVITY. THIS ROUTE IS DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF MILES REQUIRED TO MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF RURAL COMMUNITIES SERVED. THE ROUTE HAS A HIGH LEVEL OF TOWER AND CUSTOMER DEMAND WHICH WOULD FACILITATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES, TRIBES, AND THE STATE. THIS PROJECT WILL NOT ONLY INCREASE THE RESILIENCY AND REDUNDANCY OF THE MIDDLE MILE NETWORK, BUT IT WILL ALSO REDUCE COSTS AND SPUR THE MORE RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF LAST MILE SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS. SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NONE.

PURPOSE: THE APPLICANTS UNDERGROUND FIBER PROJECT (THE PROJECT) WILL FACILITATE HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT TO CURRENTLY UNSERVED OR UNDERSERVED AREAS, IMPROVE AFFORDABILITY IN ALREADY-SERVED MARKETS, CATALYZE LOWER PRICED BROADBAND FOR ECONOMICALLY VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES, BOLSTER NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS, AND FACILITATE THE PROVISION OF BROADBAND SERVICE TO ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS. THE $30.8 MILLION PROJECT, WITH THE APPLICANT PROVIDING A FUNDING MATCH, WILL BE COMPRISED OF 69.9 ROUTE-MILES OF UNDERGROUND MIDDLE MILE FIBER COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL DRIVE SUBSTANTIAL END USER BENEFITS AND ENCOURAGE NEW LAST MILE BROADBAND PROVIDERS TO ENTER THIS MARKET, INCLUDING THOSE OFFERING LOW-PRICED INTERNET ACCESS PLANS. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: PROJECT WILL USE FIBER TO BUILD NEW/RESILIENT MIDDLE MILE NETWORK THROUGH UNSERVED AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WITH A COMMITMENT TO OPEN ACCESS AND CARRIER NEUTRAL NON-DISCRIMINATORY INTERCONNECT. THE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE IS EXPECTED TO BE 4 YEARS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE APPLICANTS GOALS AND DELIVERABLES FOR THE PROJECT ARE: 1. INSTALLATION OF 69.9 MILES OF NEW UNDERGROUND FIBER OPTIC CABLE. 2. TARGET AFFORDABLE, HIGH-SPEED, AND HIGH-CAPACITY BROADBAND SERVICE TO UNSERVED, UNDERSERVED, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES, CAIS, AND LOCAL AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FACILITIES. 3. EXPANDED CHOICE FOR RESIDENTS AND ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS BY OFFERING OPEN ACCESS MIDDLE MILE INTERCONNECTION WITH REDUCED BARRIERS TO ENTRY FOR ISPS. 4. IMPROVED SERVICE RELIABILITY BY DEPLOYING 100% UNDERGROUND FIBER IN CONDUIT WITH ACTIVE MONITORING. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: BENEFICIARIES ARE IN THE COMMUNITIES OF LAUREL, NORTH LAUREL, ELKRIDGE, COLUMBIA, BOWIE, GLEN BURNIE, LINTHICUM AND BROOKLYN PARK, AS EACH HAVE CONCENTRATIONS OF UNSERVED, UNDERSERVED, AND/OR POVERTY-STRICKEN AREAS AND WOULD BENEFIT FROM MORE AFFORDABLE, EQUITABLE INTERNET ACCESS OPTIONS. WHILE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) MAP SUGGESTS THAT SEVERAL ISPS EXIST IN THE AREA, THERE ARE STILL OVER 8,500 UNSERVED RESIDENTS AND ONLY ONE PROVIDER THAT OFFERS A LOW-INCOME OR AFFORDABLE INTERNET OPTION. ACCORDING TO CENSUS 2020 DATA, 65 OF THE CENSUS TRACKS ALONG OR ADJACENT TO THE PROJECT HAVE OVER 29,599 RESIDENTS IN TOTAL WHO ARE CONSIDERED BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE. ADDITIONALLY, 43 SCHOOLS ALONG THE ROUTE HAVE MORE THAN 50% OF THEIR SCHOOL POPULATIONS RECEIVING FREE OR REDUCED PRICED MEALS (MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, 2021). AND, 87,376 RESIDENTS ACROSS ANNE ARUNDEL, BALTIMORE, HOWARD, AND PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY LIVE IN A HOUSEHOLD RECEIVING SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME (SSI), CASH PUBLIC ASSISTANCE INCOME, OR FOOD STAMPS/SNAP IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS (AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY 5-YEAR ESTIMATES, 2021). OVERALL, THE SOCIOECONOMIC LANDSCAPE DEMONSTRATES THE LEVEL OF NEED IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM THE PROJECT. ALSO, THE PROJECT WILL ENABLE AND STRENGTHEN BROADBAND SERVICE TO 50 ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING 20 SCHOOLS, 2 LIBRARIES, 3 HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, 2 HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, 9 COMMUNITY CENTERS, 1 POLICE STATION, 1 FIRE STATION, AND 12 OTHER INSTITUTIONS. FINALLY, THE PROJECT BRINGS VALUE TO NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE FORM OF COMMUNICATIONS REDUNDANCY AND RESILIENCY FOR FORT MEADE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES LOCATED NEAR THE UNDERGROUND CONDUIT AND FIBER. SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NONE.

ORCC: MIGRATORY ORGANISMS IN A CHANGING WORLD: FROM THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF MIGRATORY TIMING TO MODELS PREDICTING THE EFFECTS OF SPECIFIC CONSERVATION STRATEGIES. -ANIMALS TIME MANY OF THEIR BEHAVIORS TO COINCIDE WITH FEATURES OF THE ENVIRONMENT. CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING THIS SYNCHRONY AND THIS MISMATCH WILL HAVE CASCADING EFFECTS ON OUR ECOSYSTEMS. THIS PROJECT WILL EXAMINE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MIGRATORY TIMING AND RESOURCE AVAILABILITY IN A SONGBIRD. RESOURCES ON THE BREEDING GROUNDS (E.G., INSECTS IMPORTANT FOR RAISING YOUNG) ARE PEAKING EARLIER EACH YEAR. SONGBIRDS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THESE CHANGES, MODIFYING THE TIMING OF THEIR MIGRATION TO ARRIVE ON THE BREEDING GROUNDS EARLIER. THIS MISMATCH IS NOT ONLY OF CONCERN TO RESEARCHERS; FEDERAL AND STATE WILDLIFE AGENCIES ARE ALSO TRYING TO PREPARE FOR THE DOWNSTREAM CONSEQUENCES OF THIS PHENOMENON. ACCORDINGLY, THIS PROJECT WAS DESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH WILDLIFE AGENCIES. RESULTS WILL HELP POLICY MAKERS ASSESS EXISTING PROTECTION POLICIES AND TEST NEW MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR MIGRATORY SONGBIRDS. LOCAL OUTREACH ALONG THE MIGRATORY FLYWAY IS ALSO PLANNED (E.G., EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING ON MIGRATION THAT WILL CONNECT CHILDREN ACROSS NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA). UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN STEM WILL ALSO BE RECRUITED IN THIS PROJECT AND INCLUDED IN BOTH THE RESEARCH AND OUTREACH PLANS. PLASTICITY AND ADAPTATION COULD ALLOW MIGRANTS TO ADVANCE THEIR MIGRATORY TIMING, BUT DIRECT ESTIMATES OF THESE MECHANISMS AND THEIR MOLECULAR BASIS ARE RARE AND RESTRICTED TO A SMALL NUMBER OF PROXIMATE POPULATIONS. THIS PROJECT WILL BEGIN FILLING THIS KNOWLEDGE GAP, USING STATE-OF-THE-ART TOOLS FROM SEVERAL DISCIPLINES (E.G., ANIMAL MOVEMENT ECOLOGY, GENOMICS AND COMPUTER MODELING) AND DATA FROM A BROAD GEOGRAPHIC SCALE. SPECIFICALLY, (1) PLASTICITY AND (2) ADAPTATION FOR MIGRATORY TIMING WILL BE ESTIMATED AND (3) THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF THIS TRAIT WILL BE EXAMINED. ESTIMATES OF PLASTICITY AND ADAPTATION WILL THEN BE (4) INTEGRATED INTO MODELS PREDICTING HOW POPULATIONS WILL RESPOND TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND SPECIFIC CONSERVATION STRATEGIES BEING PROPOSED FOR THIS GROUP. THE SPECIES CHOSEN FOR THIS WORK ALREADY SHOWS ADVANCES IN THEIR MIGRATORY TIMING, BUT THESE ADVANCES ARE WEAKER IN POPULATIONS THAT BREED FURTHER NORTH. THIS TREND COULD RELATE TO THE FACT THAT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ON THE BREEDING GROUNDS ARE LESS PREDICTABLE FOR NORTHERN BREEDERS AND IS A QUESTION THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS. RESULTS FROM THIS PROJECT WILL BE RELEVANT TO MANY FIELDS (E.G., GENETICS, BEHAVIOR AND EVOLUTION) AND THE PREDICTIVE FRAMEWORK CAN BE USED FOR OTHER SYSTEMS, TRAITS AND ENVIRONMENTAL VARIATION. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

BLUE MOON PROPERTIES IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING FUNDING THROUGH THE BOATING INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT (BIG) TO BUILD A TRANSIENT RESTROOM FACILITY WITH A TRANSIENT BOAT PIER FOR THE LARGE BOATS FOR ACCESS TO THE RESTROOMS. THE ROSS BARNETT RESERVOIR, MISSISSIPPI, IS OVER 33,000 ACRES WITH AN ESTIMATED 30,000 BOATERS. THERE ARE NO TRANSIENT RESTROOMS LOCATED ON THE WATER ACCESSIBLE BY BOAT. THERE ARE PUBLIC RESTROOMS LOCATED AT THE MAJOR BOAT LAUNCH RAMPS AND PARKS BUT THERE ARE NO PIER DOCK SPACES AVAILABLE FOR TRANSIENT BOATERS TO ACCESS FOR RESTROOMS. CURRENTLY, LARGE BOATS WILL TIE UP THE BOAT LAUNCH PIERS DOCKS TO USE THE RESTROOMS WHICH CREATE PROBLEMS FOR BOATERS TRYING TO LAUNCH. SOME BOATERS WILL COME TO THE LOCAL FUEL DOCK AND RESTAURANT AT HARBOR STATION ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE TO USE RESTROOMS WHICH INTERRUPTS OR PREVENTS FUELING AND REDUCES NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WHO CAN DOCK TO EAT AT THE RESTAURANT DUE TO THE 70-FOOT HOUSEBOATS AND LARGE CRUISERS USING UP MOST OF THE EXISTING PIER SPACE. TRANSIENT BOATERS WHO CANNOT ACCESS A RESTROOM FACILITY WITH EASE ARE KNOWN TO SIMPLY USE THE RESERVOIR WHICH DEGRADES THE WATER QUALITY AND RISKS BOTH THE HABITAT AND HUMAN HEALTH. THIS RESTROOM PROJECT WILL ALSO ENSURE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR SWIMMERS AND WILDLIFE, FREE FROM SEWAGE DISCHARGE AND POTENTIAL DISEASE. PROVIDING EASY ACCESS TO RESTROOM FACILITIES WILL GO A LONG WAY TO HELP MAINTAIN A HIGH STANDARD OF WATER QUALITY.

TEXAS LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM FOR COASTAL CONSERVATION --- THE RESTORE COUNCIL HAS APPROVED PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION FUNDING UNDER THE COUNCIL SELECTED RESTORATION COMPONENT FOR THE TEXAS LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM FOR COASTAL CONSERVATION SPONSORED BY TEXAS, THROUGH THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (TCEQ). THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS THE PRIMARY RESTORE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOAL TO RESTORE AND CONSERVE HABITAT THROUGH ACTIVITIES TO ACQUIRE LARGE, HIGH QUALITY COASTAL ZONE PROPERTIES IN TEXAS. LOCATIONS WILL BE SELECTED BASED ON GREATEST VALUE TO THE COASTAL ENVIRONMENT NOW AND IN THE FUTURE CONSIDERING THE PRESSURES OF DEVELOPMENT. TARGETED HABITATS WILL INCLUDE URBAN GREEN CORRIDORS, RIPARIAN, PRAIRIE AND OTHER UPLAND, WOODED WETLANDS, OR BAY AND CHENIER WETLANDS.

THE RECESS PROJECT (RETAINING EVERY CHILD: ENROLLMENT SUPPORT SERVICES) - PROJECT ABSTRACT: RETAINING EVERY CHILD: ENROLLMENT SUPPORT SERVICES (RECESS) PROJECT ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, SITUATED EAST OF SAN FRANCISCO, IS HOME TO 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE AND IS AMONG THE MOST ETHNICALLY DIVERSE COUNTIES. ALAMEDA COUNTY COVERS 14 CITIES AND UNINCORPORATED RURAL AREAS, INCLUDING OAKLAND, HAYWARD, FREMONT, AND BERKELEY. ACCORDING TO THE 2020 U. S. CENSUS BUREAU, IT WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 4,291 (5.6%) UNINSURED CHILDREN IN ALAMEDA COUNTY WHO ARE ELIGIBLE, BUT NOT ENROLLED IN MEDICAID OR CHIP PUBLIC PROGRAMS. ACCORDING TO THE HEALTHY ALAMEDA COUNTY DATA PUBLICATION APPROXIMATELY 7,071 CHILDREN IN ALAMEDA COUNTY ARE CURRENTLY UNINSURED. 1 IN 9 UNINSURED CHILDREN (11.4%) ARE LIVING BELOW 200% OF THE POVERTY LEVEL IN ALMEDA COUNTY. CLEARLY, THERE IS A NEED TO ENHANCE OUR CURRENT EFFORTS TO HELP ELIGIBLE CHILDREN AND THEIR PATENTS ENROLL IN MEDICAID AND CHIP AND RETAIN THEIR BENEFITS. THE RETAINING EVERY CHILD: ENROLLMENT SUPPORT SERVICES (RECESS) PROJECT IS A COLLABORATION OF EIGHT FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. THE ALAMEDA HEALTH CONSORTIUM IS A NON-PROFIT ASSOCIATION OF THESE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AND THE DESIGNATED LEAD AGENCY FOR THE RECESS PROJECT. OUR GOAL IS TWO-FOLD TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED AMONG LOW-INCOME, UNDERSERVED CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS IN ALAMEDA COUNTY BY ENROLLING INTO MEDICAID/CHIP; AND TO INCREASE THE RETENTION RATE AMONG CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN MEDICAID/CHIP THROUGH RENEWAL OUTREACH SUPPORT AND VARIOUS RETENTION INTERVENTIONS. THROUGH OUR THREE-YEAR RECESS PROJECT, WE AIM TO ENROLL 4,500 ELIGIBLE CHILDREN INTO MEDICAID/CHIP AND ASSIST WITH 10,800 ANNUAL RENEWALS. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL BE TARGETING ELIGIBLE PARENTS IN OUR ENROLLMENT AND RETENTION EFFORTS. WE PLAN TO ENROLL 2,550 ELIGIBLE PARENTS INTO MEDICAID AND ASSIST WITH 7,500 ANNUAL RENEWALS. OUR RETENTION EFFORTS WILL BE CRITICAL POST-PANDEMIC TO HELP CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS MAINTAIN CONTINUOUS COVERAGE DURING THE PROJECT PERIOD. TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS, WE ARE REQUESTING $1,500,000 FOR THE THREE-YEAR GRANT PERIOD FOR OUR RECESS PROJECT. THESE FUNDS WILL SUPPORT THE MEDICAID/CHIP OUTREACH, ENROLLMENT, AND RETENTION EFFORTS PERFORMED BY AHC AND OUR EIGHT MEMBER HEALTH CENTERS THROUGH THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIES: - STRATEGY #1: PROVIDE ONE-ON-ONE APPLICATION ASSISTANCE AT COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AND IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS ELIGIBLE TO NEWLY ENROLL IN MEDICAID/CHIP. ASSISTANCE WILL BE PERFORMED YEAR-ROUND; PARTICULARLY DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT TO EDUCATE ON ENROLLMENT INTO MEDICAID/CHIP BEING YEAR-ROUND. APPLICATION ASSISTANCE WILL BE PROVIDED IN A CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY RESPONSIVE MANNER TO MEET THE PERSONAL LANGUAGE NEEDS FOR THE FAMILIES. - STRATEGY #2: CONDUCT A BACK-TO-SCHOOL CAMPAIGN IN OUR AFFILIATED THIRTY-FIVE SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS TO EDUCATE FAMILIES ABOUT MEDICAID/CHIP PROGRAMS. ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE DISTRIBUTING ENROLLMENT AND RENEWAL MATERIALS TO EDUCATE RECIPIENTS ABOUT ENROLLING IN AND RENEWING THEIR BENEFITS ON TIME. - STRATEGY #3: CONTACT AND EDUCATE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN MEDICAID/CHIP ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF RETAINING HEALTH COVERAGE. ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE MAKING REMINDER PHONE CALLS TO MEDICAID/CHIP RECIPIENTS UP FOR AN ANNUAL RENEWAL, MAILING MONTHLY REMINDER RENEWAL NOTICES, AND PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ALERTS TO FLAG RECIPIENTS AT THE POINT OF SERVICE. EFFORTS WILL ALSO FOCUS ON A CAMPAIGN TO UPDATE CONTACT INFORMATION TO ELIMINATE ANY DROPS IN COVERAGE DURING THE PROCESSING OF ANNUAL RENEWALS.

TEACHING HEALTH CENTER GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM - PROJECT TITLE: OZARK CENTER’S THCGME EXPANSION DISCIPLINE: PSYCHIATRY TYPE OF APPLICATION: EXPANSION APPLICANT ORGANIZATION: OZARK CENTER ? ADDRESS: 1105 E 32ND ST., JOPLIN, MO 64804-2879 PROJECT DIRECTOR: NAUMAN ASHRAF, M.D. ? PHONE: (417) 347-7603 ? FAX: 417-347-9810 EMAIL: NASHRAF@FREEMANHEALTH.COM ? WEBSITE: WWW.OZARKCENTER.COM FUNDS REQUESTED: 4.00 FTE IS REQUESTED FOR EACH YEAR OF GRANT FUNDING AT $160,000/RESIDENT/YEAR ($6.4 THOUSAND) FOR 7.1.22 THROUGH 6.30.26 OR THE ESTABLISHED APPROVED AMOUNT PER RESIDENT AS APPROVED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ABSTRACT THE TEACHING HEALTH CENTER (THC) GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (GME) PROGRAM AT OZARK CENTER IS A 4 YEAR PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY PROGRAM ACCREDITED BY THE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (ACGME). KCU-GME CONSORTIUM IS THE PROGRAMS ACCREDITED SPONSORING INSTITUTION. ESTABLISHED AS A COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER (CMHC) IN 1965, OZARK CENTER PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO CHILDREN, ADULTS, AND FAMILIES IN A FOUR COUNTY AREA SURROUNDING JOPLIN, MISSOURI AND IS NOW A CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER (CCBHC). JASPER, NEWTON, BARTON, AND MCDONALD COUNTIES ARE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MISSOURI, ALONG THE FOUR STATE AREA BORDER (MISSOURI, KANSAS, ARKANSAS, AND OKLAHOMA). THE AREA DESCRIBED ABOVE IS CLASSIFIED AS RURAL. THIS GEOGRAPHIC AREA QUALIFIES AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS (HPSA) AND INCLUDES AREAS CLASSIFIED AS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED. 75% OF INDIVIDUALS SERVED AT OZARK CENTER ARE UNDERINSURED OR UNINSURED. AN INTEGRAL PART OF FREEMAN HEALTH SYSTEM IN JOPLIN, OZARK CENTER PROVIDED CARE TO 14,739 INDIVIDUALS IN 2021. FREEMAN IS A 407-BED, THREE-HOSPITAL COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER, WHICH INCLUDES ONE CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL (CAH). IT IS ALIGNED WITH OTHER RURAL MEDICAL FACILITIES INCLUDING ACCESS FAMILY CARE (AN FQHC) AND THE COMMUNITY CLINIC (A SECTION 303 LOOK-ALIKE). OVER THE PAST 48 YEARS, OZARK CENTER HAS CULTI VATED ITS PATIENT-CENTERED APPROACH TO CARE IN CONCERT WITH THESE MEDICAL FACILITIES. RESIDENTS AT OZARK CENTER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN IN MULTIPLE SETTINGS. PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, INCLUDING OPIOID DEPENDENCY, ARE OFFERED COUNSELING SERVICES AND MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT TO ASSIST WITH THEIR SYMPTOMS UTILIZING A WELL-BALANCED APPROACH. THE CRISIS OUTREACH PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS PER DAY, 7 DAYS PER WEEK AND IS ACCESSIBLE BY MOBILE TEXTING TO ADDRESS PATIENT’S NEED TO HAVE SERVICES IN URGENT AND EMERGENT SITUATIONS. THE CHILD PSYCHIATRY EXPERIENCE IS ENRICHED BY THE OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO WORK AT THE BILL & VIRGINIA LEFFEN CENTER FOR AUTISM WHERE STAFF USE APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS IN THE TREATMENT OF AUTISM. THE RESIDENTS RECEIVE EXPERIENCE IN TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY DURING THEIR OUTPATIENT PSYCHIATRY ROTATIONS. THIS VARIETY OF CLINICAL EXPERIENCES ALSO STIMULATES AREAS OF RESEARCH. TO PROMOTE RESIDENCY WELLNESS, AN INNOVATIVE WELLNESS PROGRAM HAS BEEN INTEGRATED FOCUSING ON MENTAL WELLBEING. THE IDEA FOR THIS PROJECT STEMMED FROM RESEARCH CONDUCTED WITHIN THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM. OZARK CENTER’S PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY PROGRAM STARTED IN 2012 AND WAS ORIGINALLY ACCREDITED BY THE AMERICAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION (AOA) BUT IS NOW ACCREDITED BY THE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL OF GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (ACGME). OZARK CENTER HAS RECEIVED FUNDING THROUGH THE THCGME PROGRAM SINCE 2012, GRADUATING FOURTEEN TO DATE. OZARK CENTER IS REQUESTING EXPANSION FUNDING FOR 4.00 ADDITIONAL RESIDENT POSITIONS (1-1-1-1). FOR AY 2022-2023 THE 4.00 FTE POSITIONS WILL BE ADDED TO CREATE THE OVERALL COUNT TO BE 4-4-4-4 WITH THE CURRENT THCGME GRANT FUNDING. THIS FUNDING WILL HELP THE PROGRAM ADD MORE MEDICAL PERSONAL TO MEET THE PRIMARY CARE NEEDS OF THE RURAL AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES.

CULTURE AND AMPLIFICATION-FREE BACTERIAL SEPSIS DIAGNOSIS - CULTURE AND AMPLIFICATION-FREE BACTERIAL SEPSIS DIAGNOSIS SUMMARY SEPSIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING COMPLICATION OF AN INFECTION THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE TREATMENT. THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE CAUSATIVE MICROORGANISM UTILIZING PROCESSES BASED ON BLOOD CULTURE IS A KEYSTONE OF SEPSIS DIAGNOSIS. HOWEVER, BLOOD CULTURE TAKES ONE TO FIVE DAYS TO PROVIDE RESULTS. HERE, WE PROPOSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CULTURE AND AMPLIFICATION-FREE ASSAY TO DETECT AND IDENTIFY BACTERIA IN ONE HOUR DIRECTLY ON WHOLE BLOOD. THE NEW ASSAY WILL ENABLE PHYSICIANS TO PROVIDE THERAPY TARGETING THE CAUSATIVE ORGANISM DAYS EARLIER THAN THE CURRENT STANDARDS. THE NEW ASSAY WILL BE BASED ON SINGLE MOLECULE TETHERING (SMOLT), A NOVEL SAMPLE PREPARATION AND AMPLIFICATION-FREE MOLECULAR DETECTION METHOD DEVELOPED AT SCANOGEN. THE WORK PROPOSED IN THIS APPLICATION WILL BUILD ON THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF AN ONGOING PROJECT AIMED AT DEVELOPING AN ASSAY TO DETECT FUNGI IN WHOLE BLOOD. THE SMOLT-BACTERIA ASSAY PROPOSED IN THIS APPLICATION WILL IDENTIFY THE SPECIES, GENUS OR ORDER OF THE CAUSATIVE ORGANISM IN APPROXIMATELY 90% OF BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS. THE NEW SYSTEM WILL BE EASY-TO-USE, FULLY AUTOMATED, AND CAPABLE OF RAPID DETECTION IN WHOLE BLOOD WITHOUT BLOOD CULTURE. DESPITE THE URGENT CLINICAL NEED, THERE IS ONLY ONE FDA APPROVED CULTURE-FREE MOLECULAR ASSAY FOR SEPSIS DIAGNOSIS. IN COMPARISON TO THIS TEST, THE SMOLT- BACTERIA ASSAY WILL BE 4 TIMES FASTER, 6 TIMES LESS EXPENSIVE, AND THANKS TO ITS HIGHER MULTIPLEXING CAPABILITY, IT WILL DETECT AND IDENTIFY THE CAUSATIVE PATHOGEN IN TWICE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS. IN OUR PRELIMINARY RESULTS, WE DEVELOPED A MULTIPLEX ASSAY CAPABLE OF DETECTING BACTERIA DIRECTLY IN WHOLE BLOOD. WE DEMONSTRATED THAT THE ASSAY IS HIGHLY SPECIFIC AND SENSITIVE WITH A LIMIT OF DETECTION (LOD) BETWEEN 1-10 CFU/ML, DEPENDING ON THE SPECIES, WHICH IS AS GOOD AS THE ONLY FDA-APPROVED TEST. IN THIS PROJECT, WE WILL COMPLETE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ASSAY PROTOCOL BY INCLUDING NEW PROBES AND OPTIMIZING THE OVERALL ASSAY (AIM 1). WE WILL TEST THE MANUAL PROTOCOL AND DEVELOP A FULLY INTEGRATED DISPOSABLE CARTRIDGE AND INSTRUMENT (AIM 2). FINALLY, WE WILL EVALUATE THE ASSAY IN PILOT ANALYTICAL AND CLINICAL VALIDATION STUDIES (AIM 3). WE WILL WORK WITH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM THAT INCLUDES EXPERTS IN ASSAY DEVELOPMENT AND INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT OF ENGINEERING AT BECTON DICKINSON, EXPERTS IN MICROBIOLOGY, SEPSIS DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT FROM JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, AS WELL AS ENGINEERS FROM KEY TECHNOLOGIES. AFTER COMPLETING THIS PROJECT, WE WILL FURTHER OPTIMIZE THE SYSTEM FOR USABILITY AND MANUFACTURABILITY AND CONDUCT ANALYTICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES FOR SUBMISSION TO THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA). IF SUCCESSFUL, THE NEW AUTOMATED ASSAY CAN BECOME PART OF THE STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF PATIENTS WITH SEPSIS AND IMPROVE PATIENTS’ OUTCOMES BY DRAMATICALLY REDUCING THE TIME TO TARGETED ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY.

PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE ENERGY INTEGRATING DETECTOR FOR X-RAY IMAGING - APPROXIMATELY 12% OF WOMEN HAVE A FALSE-POSITIVE RESULT AFTER ONE MAMMOGRAM, AND 60% HAVE A FALSE POSITIVE AFTER TEN YEARLY MAMMOGRAMS - RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR SECONDARY SCREENINGS. THE COST OF UNNECESSARY SECONDARY SCREENINGS, OFTEN DUE TO THE INABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY TISSUE WITH THE DESIRED ACCURACY, HAS BEEN CALCULATED TO BE $4 BILLION PER YEAR. INCREASING THE SENSITIVITY OF LOW EXPOSURE PER FRAME X-RAY DETECTORS WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR UNNECESSARY SECONDARY SCREENINGS AND IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES VIA ENHANCED IMAGE QUALITY. IMAGE QUALITY LARGELY DEPENDS ON THE RESPONSE OF THE DETECTOR'S SENSOR TO X-RAYS, AKA SENSITIVITY. SENSITIVITY IS DEPENDENT ON THE SENSOR'S ABILITY TO GENERATE AS MANY X-RAY LIBERATED CHARGE CARRIERS AS POSSIBLE THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE SIGNAL ACQUISITION FOR AN IMAGE. SOMETIMES THIS IS REFERRED TO AS THE SENSOR'S AVERAGE IONIZATION ENERGY OR INTERNAL GAIN. DIRECT CONVERSION SENSORS (SEMICONDUCTORS), SUCH AS AMORPHOUS SELENIUM (A-SE), HAVE A LOW INTERNAL GAIN – MAKING LOW EXPOSURE PER FRAME APPLICATIONS LIKE TOMOSYNTHESIS CHALLENGING TO GENERATE SIGNALS ABOVE THE NOISE OF THE ELECTRONICS. RECENTLY, NEW MATERIALS SUCH AS ORGANIC/INORGANIC METAL HALIDE PEROVSKITES HAVE DRAWN ATTENTION FOR THEIR CONSIDERABLE STOPPING POWER OF X-RAYS, EFFICIENT CHARGE TRANSFER PROPERTIES, AND EASE OF MATERIAL SYNTHESIS. ADDITIONALLY, GRAPHENE MATERIALS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR PHOTOCONDUCTIVE GAIN AND COMFORT OF INTEGRATION WITH CONVENTIONAL ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS. KAIROS SENSORS LLC PROPOSES A MULTI-PIXEL PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE ENERGY INTEGRATING DETECTOR FOR X-RAY IMAGING WITH VASTLY IMPROVED SENSITIVITY AND LOW POWER CONSUMPTION FOR THIS PHASE I PROPOSAL. KAIROS SENSORS' INNOVATION UTILIZES SOLUTION-PROCESSED PEROVSKITES GROWN DIRECTLY FROM THE CONDUCTIVE GRAPHENE LATTICE AND HAS SHOWN ULTRA-HIGH SENSITIVITY WITH PROTOTYPE SINGLE-PIXEL PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE DEVICES. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO ACHIEVE A MULTI-PIXEL PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE DETECTOR WITH HIGH SENSITIVITY VIA OPTIMIZED CONFIGURATION OF MATERIAL COMPOSITION AND PIXEL DIMENSIONS. PHASE I WILL FOCUS ON DEMONSTRATING AN EXTREMELY SENSITIVE MULTI-PIXEL PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE DETECTOR. PHASE II WILL FOCUS ON A MORE EXTENSIVE PIXEL ARRAY AND TAKE IMAGES IN PREPARATION FOR COMMERCIALIZATION.

WHILE THE RADIATION ENVIRONMENT IN LOW-EARTH ORBIT E.G. ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) HAS BEEN STUDIED IN GREAT DETAIL A SIMILAR LEVEL OF DETAIL IS LACKING REGARDING THE IONIZING RADIATION ENVIRONMENT IN THE EARTH S ATMOSPHERE. TO PUT IT BLUNTLY WE KNOW FAR MORE ABOUT THE RADIATION ENVIRONMENT 400 KM ABOVE OUR HEADS THAN AT 40 KM ABOVE OUR HEADS. SUBORBITAL FLIGHT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEASURE THE STEADY STATE ATMOSPHERIC IONIZING RADIATION ENVIRONMENT (SSAIRE) BETWEEN 20 AND 120 KM THEREBY PROVIDING IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE SSAIRE THAT HAVE SELDOM BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE PAST. SUCH MEASUREMENTS WILL ALLOW US TO VALIDATE COMPUTER MODELS OF THE SSAIRE AND WILL PROVIDE IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE IMPACT OF THE SSAIRE ON THE HEALTH OF HIGH ALTITUDE AIRCREW AND PASSENGERS AND ON POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF THE SSAIRE ON RADIATION SENSITIVITY AVIONICS. IN ADDITION SUBORBITAL TOURISM IS ON THE CUSP OF BECOMING A REALITY AND PASSENGERS ON FLIGHTS TO THE HIGHEST ALTITUDES IN OUR ATMOSPHERE WILL NATURALLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR RADIATION EXPOSURE DURING SUCH FLIGHTS. MEASUREMENTS MADE ABOARD SUBORBITAL FLIGHTS CAN DIRECTLY ADDRESS AND ALLEVIATE THEIR CONCERNS REGARDING RADIATION EXPOSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE. THIS PROPOSAL WILL DEMONSTRATE A VERSION OF THE ACTIVE TISSUE EQUIVALENT DOSIMETER (ATED) DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR MEASURING IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE ABOARD A BLUE ORIGIN NEW SHEPARD SUBORBITAL FLIGHT.

NEURALLY TARGETED GROUP INTERVENTION TO REDUCE EARLY CHILDHOOD ANXIETY - CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT ANXIETY AFFECTS 20% OF PRESCHOOLERS AND CAN BECOME CHRONIC, LEADING TO DEPRESSION, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, SCHOOL-DROP OUT AND EVEN SUICIDE. TO REDUCE ANXIETY AND PREVENT ITS SEQUELAE, CLINICALLY AFFECTED CHILDREN MUST BE EFFECTIVELY TREATED EARLY. AVAILABLE INTERVENTIONS FOR CLINICALLY ANXIOUS PRESCHOOLERS ARE EFFECTIVE FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL CHILDREN, WITH AS MANY AS 50% OF 4-7 YEAR OLDS CONTINUING TO MEET CRITERIA FOR AN ANXIETY DISORDER AFTER TREATMENT. TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, WE LEVERAGE THEORETICAL MODELS AND EMPIRICAL RESEARCH SUGGESTING THAT INSUFFICIENT CAPACITY FOR EFFORTFUL CONTROL (EC) MAY UNDERLIE ANXIETY FROM ITS EARLIEST STAGES. INSUFFICIENT CAPACITY FOR EC REFLECTS FAILURES OF FRONTAL BRAIN REGIONS (E.G., DORSOLATERAL PREFRONTAL CORTEX/DLPFC AND ANTERIOR CINGULATE CORTEX/ACC) TO ADAPTIVELY REGULATE THREAT CIRCUITS AND MAINTAIN ON-TASK BEHAVIOR. THESE NEURAL SUBSTRATES FOR EC CAN BE INDEXED USING NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES, THE ERROR-RELATED NEGATIVITY (ERN) AND TIME FREQUENCY INTERCHANNEL PHASE SYNCHRONY (ICPS), RESPECTIVELY. FINDINGS FROM OUR LABS AND THE WORK OF OTHERS HAVE SHOWN THAT REDUCED ERN AND ICPS RELATE TO BEHAVIORAL DEFICITS IN EC AND ENHANCED THREAT REACTIVITY SIMILAR TO THAT DOCUMENTED IN CLINICALLY ANXIOUS CHILDREN. IN RESPONSE, OUR TEAM DEVELOPED A CHILD-FRIENDLY GROUP EC TRAINING (“CAMP KIDPOWER”) DESIGNED TO INCREASE ERN, ICPS AND RELATED EC BEHAVIORS IN THE SERVICE OF DECREASING ANXIETY SYMPTOMS IN PRESCHOOLERS. RESULTS OF OUR PILOT STUDY INDICATE THAT THIS BRIEF COGNITIVE TRAINING APPROACH ENGAGED THE INTENDED EC NEURAL AND BEHAVIORAL TARGETS AND REDUCED ANXIETY SYMPTOMS. BUILDING ON THIS PILOT WORK, THE CURRENT PROJECT AIMS TO REPLICATE AND EXTEND THESE FINDINGS IN A LARGER SAMPLE USING A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED DESIGN. PARTICIPANTS IN THIS STUDY WILL BE 4- TO 6-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN (N=90) WITH CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT SYMPTOMS WHO WILL BE RANDOMIZED INTO THE EC TRAINING INTERVENTION (N=45) OR A PLAYGROUP CONTROL (N=45). OUTCOMES WILL BE ASSESSED BEFORE AND AFTER EACH CONDITION, USING A MULTI-LEVEL APPROACH THAT INCLUDES NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL INDICES OF EC, AS WELL AS CLINICIAN-RATED AND PARENT- REPORT ON CHILD ANXIETY SYMPTOMS (TYPE AND SEVERITY). OUR AIMS ARE TO: 1) CONFIRM THAT PARTICIPATION IN OUR EC TRAINING INCREASES ERN AND ICPS AND IMPROVES EC BEHAVIOR, 2) TEST WHETHER ENGAGEMENT OF THESE BRAIN-BEHAVIOR EC TARGETS CORRESPOND TO REDUCTIONS IN ANXIETY SYMPTOMS AND EXPLORE WHETHER ANXIETY REDUCTION BY EC TRAINING IS MODERATED BY BASELINE THREAT REACTIVITY MEASURES, AND 3) IDENTIFY WHETHER GREATER DOSAGE OF EC TRAINING IS ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER NEURO-BEHAVIORAL TARGET ENGAGEMENT AND REDUCTION OF ANXIETY SYMPTOMS. BY EVALUATING HOW CHANGES IN NEUROSCIENCE-DERIVED TARGETS RELATE TO CHANGES IN ANXIETY SYMPTOMS, THIS WORK IS RESPONSIVE TO THE NIMH CALL FOR EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS AND ADDRESSES AN URGENT NEED FOR THE DESIGN OF INTERVENTIONS TO REDUCE ANXIETY IN YOUNG CHILDREN.

LUNAR SURFACE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES - NASA-PROVIDED LUNAR PAYLOAD (NPLP) DELIVERY

(1) TITLE: BOX OF ROCKS EXPERIMENT II (BORE II) (2) DESCRIPTION: BORE II IS PROPOSED AS A REFLIGHT OF SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE S (SWRI) BORE REGOLITH EXPERIMENT THAT FLEW ON BLUE ORIGIN S NEW SHEPARD SUBORBITAL VEHICLE IN APRIL 2016 WITH UPGRA

WE PROPOSE TO CONDUCT A FLIGHT TEST OF THE JANUS-PIMS PAYLOAD ON A BLUE ORIGIN NEW SHEPARD LAUNCH VEHICLE TO RAISE ITS TRL FOR FUTURE LUNAR MISSIONS. THIS PAYLOAD COMBINES TWO INSTRUMENTS TO DEVELOP A LOW COST RELIABLE METHOD OF CHARACTERIZING LOCAL LUNAR SURFACE RADIATION AND MAGNETIC FIELD ENVIRONMENTS ON ROVERS AND LANDERS. SUCH A CAPABILITY IS VITAL BECAUSE LUNAR SURFACE MAGNETIC FIELDS VARY SIGNIFICANTLY AND DIRECTLY IMPACT THE RADIATION EXPOSURE AT EACH PARTICULAR LANDING SITE (WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO HUMANS AND EQUIPMENT). HOWEVER LITTLE OBSERVATIONS FROM THE LUNAR SURFACE EXIST AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT THE ACTUAL ENVIRONMENT. SO OUR PROPOSED PAYLOAD IS REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND THE CONDITIONS OF EACH SPECIFIC LANDING SITE. COORDINATED RADIATION AND MAGNETIC FIELD MEASUREMENTS WILL PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT INSIGHT INTO HOW CRUSTAL MAGNETIC FIELDS IMPACT THE LOCAL RADIATION ENVIRONMENT. AS AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF THIS FLIGHT TEST THE JANUS-PIMS WILL BE USED AS THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO MEASURE CHARGED PARTICLES AT SUBORBITAL ALTITUDES FROM A COMMERCIAL SPACECRAFT WHICH WILL VERIFY THE POSSIBILITY OF MAKING ROUTINE OBSERVATIONS ESSENTIAL FOR UNDERSTANDING EARTH S ATMOSPHERE AT SUCH ALTITUDES. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION: APL IS ITERATIVELY APPLYING COMMERCIAL SRLVS TO REDUCE INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT COST SCHEDULE AND RISK. A KEY ELEMENT OF OUR PROGRAM IS ESTABLISHING A COMMON SPACECRAFT INTEGRATION PLATFORM (JANUS) THAT ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR DEVELOPING COMPLETE AND INDEPENDENT PAYLOADS FOR EVERY MISSION. OVER THE LAST 8 YEARS WE HAVE EVOLVED THE JANUS DESIGN THROUGH 6 SUCCESSFUL TEST FLIGHTS. FOR THIS PROPOSAL WE WILL INTEGRATE JANUS WITH OUR PLASMA INSTRUMENT FOR MAGNETIC SOUNDING (PIMS) INSTRUMENT (UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR THE EUROPA CLIPPER MISSION BUT ADAPTED FOR THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT) TO MEASURE LOWER ENERGY (<100 EV) CHARGED PARTICLES. THE PROPOSED FLIGHT TEST WILL ADVANCE THIS TECHNOLOGY FOR LUNAR (AND BEYOND) APPLICATIONS. AFTER SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT TEST OF THE PROPOSED JANUS-PIMS WE CAN COMBINE THIS PAYLOAD WITH OUR (HIGHER ENERGY) RADIATION MONITORING SYSTEM (ERM) WHICH IS A MATURE SENSOR WITH FLIGHT HERITAGE ON NASA S VAN ALLEN PROBE MISSION (AND ALSO SELECTED FOR THE EUROPA CLIPPER MISSION). WE REQUIRE THE PIMS INSTRUMENT TO MEASURE LOWER ENERGY PARTICLES SO WE CAN CHARACTERIZE THE ENTIRE RADIATION SPECTRUM. THIS COMBINED SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE A COMPLETE LUNAR RADIATION HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM THAT IS SELF-CONTAINED FLEXIBLE AND LOW COST. OUR PAYLOAD WILL NOT ONLY CHARACTERIZE THE LUNAR SURFACE ENVIRONMENT BUT ALSO EASILY ACCOMMODATE OTHER INSTRUMENT PAYLOADS AND DEVELOPMENT/ TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATIONS ON ANY LUNAR MISSION. ALIGNMENT AND JUSTIFICATION OF SCOPE: THE PROPOSED WORK FALLS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT UTILIZING SUBORBITAL FLIGHT OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS TO DEMONSTRATE A SPACE EXPLORATION AND UTILIZATION TECHNOLOGY IN A RELEVANT SPACE-LIKE ENVIRONMENT USING A CURRENTLY AVAILABLE U.S. COMMERCIAL SUBORBITAL ROCKET. THE PROPOSED PROJECT ALIGNS WITH TOPIC 1 (SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE LUNAR EXPLORATION AND THE EXPANSION OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY INTO CISLUNAR SPACE) AS OUR PAYLOAD WILL FURTHER NASA LUNAR EXPLORATION GOALS BECAUSE ACCURATE CHARACTERIZATION AND MONITORING OF THE LUNAR SURFACE RADIATION AND AMBIENT ENVIRONMENT AT EACH INDIVIDUAL LOCATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SAFE AND EFFECTIVE ROBOTIC AND HUMAN SURFACE OPERATIONS ON THE LUNAR SURFACE (SUCH AN APPLICATION IS ALSO RELEVANT BEYOND EARTH S ORBIT). OUR PROPOSAL NOT ONLY MEETS THESE EXPLICITLY STATED PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS BUT ALSO ADDRESS TWO OF NASA S LUNAR STRATEGIC KNOWLEDGE GAPS: (THEME 2) UNDERSTAND THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT AND ITS EFFECTS ON HUMAN LIFE AND (THEME 3) UNDERSTAND HOW TO WORK AND LIVE ON THE LUNAR SURFACE) WITH EMPHASIS ON DETERMINING NEAR SURFACE RADIATION/PLASMA ENVIRONMENTS AND THE NATURE OF DIFFERENTIAL ELECTRICAL CHARGING.

WE PROPOSE TO TOPIC 2 TO DEMONSTRATE A VEHICLE UTILIZATION OF AN ONBOARD FACILITY OF AN ULTRAVIOLET REMOTE SENSING PAYLOAD SYSTEM ON THE BLUE ORIGIN NEW SHEPPARD REUSABLE SUBORBITAL LAUNCH VEHICLE. THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR INTEGRATION FLIGHT TESTING AND POST-FLIGHT CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SYSTEM AND EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT. THE IRIS-UV: INTEGRATED REMOTE IMAGING SYSTEM-ULTRAVIOLET IS HELD INSIDE A RUGGEDIZED BLUE ORIGIN PAYLOAD LOCKER AND CONSISTS OF AN APL PROVIDED ULTRAVIOLET SPECTROMETER GIMBAL AND ELECTRONICS. IT WILL GATHER SPECTRAL DATA OF THE ATMOSPHERIC BRIGHTNESS AND TRANSMISSION IN THE UV (200-400 NM) DURING ASCENT TO 100KM AND DESCENT TO GROUND. THE SPECTROMETER WILL BE GIMBALLED FROM ZENITH TO ~ 15 DEG (TO AVOID THE S/C FAIRING). ALREADY TESTED FOR VIBRATION THE SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF THIS INSTRUMENT IN FLIGHT WILL HELP DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO EMPLOY OF COTS INSTRUMENTS IN SPACE. THIS IS NEW INFORMATION TO INFORM THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE UV INSTRUMENTATION. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE MOUNTED ON THE UPPER RING OF THE PROPULSION MODULE (PM).

SHARE: SIMPLIFYING HUMAN SUBJECT DATA SHARING FOR ALCOHOL RESEARCHERS - ABSTRACT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH (NIMH) DATA ARCHIVE (NDA) COLLECTS AND SHARES DE-IDENTIFIED HUMAN SUBJECTS DATA FROM HUNDREDS OF NIH-FUNDED RESEARCH PROJECTS ACROSS MANY MENTAL HEALTH-RELATED SCIENTIFIC DOMAINS WITH QUALIFIED RESEARCHERS. A NEW NDA REPOSITORY IS CREATED FOR THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON ALCOHOL ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM DATA ARCHIVE (NIAAADA) AND WILL SERVE AS THE PORTAL FOR NIAAA-RELATED DATA SUBMISSIONS AND ACCESS. THE NIAAA DATA-SHARING POLICY (NOT-AA-19-020) RELEASED IN JULY OF 2019, REQUIRES THAT— BEGINNING IN 2019—ALL NIAAA GRANT APPLICATIONS INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS MUST INCLUDE PLANS FOR THE SUBMISSION OF STUDY DATA TO NIAAADA. THE FIRST WAVE OF SUBMISSION TO NIAAADA IS EXPECTED IN JANUARY OF 2021. MANY OBSTACLES EXIST FOR ALCOHOL RESEARCHERS TO COMPLY WITH THIS POLICY, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WITH LIMITED BUDGET AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT. TO SUBMIT THE STUDY DATA, RESEARCHERS HAVE TO COMB THROUGH LARGE AND COMPLEX NDA DATA DEFINITION FILES, OFTEN FILLED WITH INCONSISTENCIES AND INACCURACIES, TO FIND THE MEASURE ITEMS THAT THEY NEED, AND THEN MAP THEIR DATA TO THE RIGHT FIELDS IN THE RIGHT FORMAT IN A GIVEN DATA TEMPLATE. THIS PROCESS OFTEN REQUIRES RESEARCHERS TO MANIPULATE THEIR DATA BY-HAND OR WITH COMPLICATED SCRIPTS, AND IS ERROR PRONE, TIME-CONSUMING, AND REQUIRES CERTAIN TECHNICAL SKILLS. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A NEARLY-AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR THE SUBMISSION OF ALCOHOL RESEARCH DATA INTO THE NIAAADA SO THAT THE DATA SUBMISSION CAN BE PERFORMED ACCURATELY AND EFFICIENTLY BY ALCOHOL RESEARCHERS WITH MINIMUM IT KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE THE SHARE HUMAN RESEARCH (SHARE) PLATFORM TO ADDRESS THE UNMET NEED FOR ASSISTING ALCOHOL RESEARCHERS WITH THE SUBMISSION OF STUDY DATA TO NIAAADA. SHARE DOES SO BY OFFERING THE SHARE MEASURE LIBRARY OF PRE-DEFINED STANDARD MEASURES THAT ARE ALREADY MAPPED TO NDA DATA DICTIONARIES. ALCOHOL RESEARCHERS NEED TO ONLY SELECT THE MEASURES THAT THEY WANT TO USE FOR THEIR STUDIES AND LET SHARE DO THE REST FOR DATA SUBMISSION TO NIAAADA. PHASE II AIMS INCLUDE: 1) PLATFORM AND MEASURE DEVELOPMENT. IN PHASE II WE WILL CONTINUE USING A USER-CENTRIC DESIGN PROCESS AND THE LATEST E-TECHNOLOGIES TO DEVELOP SHARE, AND WE WILL EXTEND TO 200 MEASURES IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH (WHEN AVAILABLE). 2) PILOT EVALUATION. THERE WILL BE 4 NIAAADA SUBMISSION WAVES DURING THE TWO-YEAR PHASE II PERIOD. WE PLAN TO ALIGN BOTH AIM 1 AND AIM 2 ACTIVITIES TO THESE 4 SUBMISSION WAVES AND RECRUIT FIVE PROJECTS IN EACH WAVE TO COMPARE THE PERFORMANCE OF SHARE VS. NDA. A TOTAL OF 20 PILOT PROJECTS WILL BE RECRUITED AND RANDOMIZED TO USE EITHER SHARE OR NDA FOR NIAAADA SUBMISSION. THE TIME AND COST FOR DATA PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION WILL BE TRACKED, AND THE ACCURACY OF SUBMITTED DATA ASSESSED. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT COMPARED TO NDA, SHARE WILL PERFORM SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER IN TERMS OF REDUCED TIME AND COST IMPROVED DATA ACCURACY.

JPL SUPPORT TO BLUE ORIGIN FOR HUMAN LANDING SYSTEM STUDIES, RISK REDUCTION, DEVELOPMENT, AND DEMONSTRATION

THE LUNAR POLAR GAS-DYNAMIC MINING OUTPOST (LGMO) (SEE QUAD CHART GRAPHIC) IS A BREAKTHROUGH MISSION ARCHITECTURE THAT PROMISES TO GREATLY REDUCE THE COST OF HUMAN EXPLORATION AND INDUSTRIALIZATION OF THE MOON. LGMO IS BASED ON TWO NEW INNOVATIONS THAT TOGETHER SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF AFFORDABLE LUNAR POLAR ICE MINING FOR PROPELLANT PRODUCTION. THE FIRST INNOVATION IS BASED ON A NEW INSIGHT INTO LUNAR TOPOGRAPHY: OUR ANALYSIS SUGGESTS THAT THERE ARE LARGE (HUNDREDS OF METERS) LANDING AREAS IN SMALL (0.5-1.5 KM) NEARPOLAR CRATERS ON WHICH THE SURFACE IS PERMAFROST IN PERPETUAL DARKNESS BUT WITH PERPETUAL SUNLIGHT AVAILABLE AT ALTITUDES OF ONLY 10S TO 100S OF METERS. IN THESE PROSPECTIVE LANDING SITES DEPLOYABLE SOLAR ARRAYS HELD VERTICALLY ON MASTS 100 M OR SO IN LENGTH (LIGHTWEIGHT AND FEASIBLE IN LUNAR GRAVITY) CAN PROVIDE NEARLY CONTINUOUS POWER. THIS MEANS THAT A LARGE LANDER SUCH AS THE BLUE MOON VEHICLE PROPOSED BY BLUE ORIGIN A BFR; OR A MODESTLY SIZED LUNAR ICE MINING OUTPOST COULD SIT ON MINEABLE PERMAFROST WITH SOLAR ARRAYS IN PERPETUAL SUNLIGHT ON MASTS PROVIDING AFFORDABLE ELECTRIC POWER WITHOUT THE NEED TO SEPARATE POWER SUPPLY FROM THE LOAD. .THE SECOND ENABLING INNOVATION FOR LGMO IS RADIANT GAS DYNAMIC (RGD) MINING. RGD MINING IS A NEW PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY INVENTED BY TRANSASTRA TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF ECONOMICALLY AND RELIABLY PROSPECTING AND EXTRACTING LARGE QUANTITIES (1 000S OF TONS PER YEAR) OF VOLATILE MATERIALS FROM LUNAR REGOLITH USING LANDED PACKAGES OF JUST A FEW TONS EACH. TO OBVIATE THE PROBLEMS OF MECHANICAL DIGGING AND EXCAVATION RGD MINING USES A COMBINATION OF RADIO FREQUENCY MICROWAVE AND INFRARED RADIATION TO HEAT PERMAFROST AND OTHER TYPES OF ICE DEPOSITS WITH A DEPTH-CONTROLLED HEATING PROFILE. THIS SUBLIMATES THE ICE AND ENCOURAGES A SIGNIFICANT FRACTION OF THE VOLATILES TO MIGRATE UPWARD OUT OF THE REGOLITH INTO CRYOTRAPS WHERE IT CAN BE STORED IN LIQUID FORM. RGD MINING TECHNOLOGY IS INTEGRATED INTO LONG DURATION ELECTRIC POWERED ROVERS. IN USE THE VEHICLES STOP AT MINING LOCATIONS AND LOWER THEIR COLLECTION DOMES TO GATHER AVAILABLE WATER FROM AN AREA BEFORE MOVING ON. WHEN ON-BOARD STORAGE TANKS ARE FULL THE VEHICLES RETURN TO BASE TO EMPTY TANKS BEFORE MOVING BACK OUT INTO THE FIELD TO CONTINUE HARVESTING. THE ROVER CAN BE BATTERY OPERATED AND RECHARGE AT BASE OR CARRY A LASER RECEIVER POWERED BY A REMOTE LASER. BASED ON THESE INNOVATIONS LGMO PROMISES TO VASTLY REDUCE THE COST OF ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A SIZABLE LUNAR POLAR OUTPOST THAT CAN SERVE FIRST AS A FIELD STATION FOR NASA ASTRONAUTS EXPLORING THE MOON AND THEN AS THE BEACHHEAD FOR AMERICAN LUNAR INDUSTRIALIZATION STARTING WITH FULFILLING COMMERCIAL PLANS FOR A LUNAR HOTEL FOR TOURISTS. .RGD MINING WILL ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PRACTICAL SYSTEM THAT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED ON A MOBILE PLATFORM TO ENABLE THE USE OF A MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF RADIANT ENERGY WITH DIFFERENT PENETRATION DEPTHS TO CONTROL THE RELEASE OF WATER VAPOR FROM HARD LUNAR PERMAFROST IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT CAN BE TRAPPED AND CAPTURED BY A WATER COLLECTION SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH MICROWAVE EXTRACTION METHODS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED IN THE PAST THEY HAVE TYPICALLY REQUIRED PRIOR EXCAVATION OF SUBSTRATE MATERIAL OR DID NOT INCLUDE METHODS TO PREVENT RE-TRAPPING OF WATER BY COLD REGOLITH. BY USING A MULTI FREQUENCY RADIANT SYSTEM RGD PROVIDES A VARIABLE HEATING PROFILE THAT SUBLIMATES WATER VAPOR IN LAYERS FROM THE TOP DOWN AND ENCOURAGES EVOLVED WATER TO MIGRATE INTO CRYOTRAPS IN THE VEHICLE WHILE MINIMIZING REFREEZING OF THE WATER VAPOR IN THE SURROUNDING SUBSTRATE. THIS DESIGN COMBINES SUBSURFACE ICE PROSPECTING VIA LOW VOLTAGE DC SUBSURFACE SENSING INTEGRATED WITH TRL-6 DRILLS FOR DETECTION AND VOLATILE GAS COLLECTION IN A SINGLE VEHICLE. WE ESTIMATE THAT ROVERS SIZED FOR A NEW GLENN OR SLS PAYLOAD FARING WOULD MASS BETWEEN 2 AND 5 TONS AND WOULD EACH BE CAPABLE OF HARVESTING BETWEEN 20 AND 100 TIMES ITS MASS PER YEAR IN WATER. .
