THE HEARTLAND HYDROGEN HUB CONSISTS OF PROJECT LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA, AND MINNESOTA, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO EXPAND INTO NEIGHBORING STATES, THAT WILL LEVERAGE THE REGION’S ABUNDANT ENERGY RESOURCES TO HELP DECARBONIZE THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR’S PRODUCTION OF FERTILIZER AND DECREASE THE REGIONAL COST OF CLEAN HYDROGEN. THE HEARTLAND HYDROGEN HUB ALSO PROPOSES TO USE CLEAN HYDROGEN FOR POWER GENERATION IN A MANNER THAT MAY CATALYZE CO-FIRING HYDROGEN IN UTILITY-OWNED GENERATION ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE HUB PLANS TO OFFER UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES OF EQUITY OWNERSHIP WITH THE MANDAN, HIDATSA AND ARIKARA NATION AND TO LOCAL FARMERS AND FARMER CO-OPS THROUGH A PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIP THAT WILL ALLOW LOCAL FARMERS TO RECEIVE MORE COMPETITIVE PRICING FOR CLEAN FERTILIZER. THESE INITIATIVES CAN HELP REDUCE ROUGHLY 1 MILLION METRIC TONS PER YEAR OF CARBON EMISSIONS—ROUGHLY EQUIVALENT TO THE ANNUAL EMISSIONS OF 220,000 GASOLINE-POWERED CARS—WHILE EXTENDING PROFIT-SHARING AND BENEFITS FROM THE EXPANDING HYDROGEN ECONOMY TO WIDER COMMUNITIES, A MODEL WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR REPLICATION ACROSS THE MIDWEST. THE HEARTLAND HYDROGEN HUB’S USE OF OPEN ACCESS STORAGE AND PIPELINE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL CREATE A HYDROGEN NETWORK ACCESSIBLE TO BOTH CURRENT AND NEW HYDROGEN USERS. THE HEARTLAND HYDROGEN HUB HAS COMMITTED TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CREATE AN EDUCATION CONSORTIUM TO OVERSEE CAREER DEVELOPMENT, WORKFORCE TRAINING, APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS, AND K-12 STEM EDUCATION, WHICH INCLUDES SEVERAL TRIBAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. A GOAL OF THE HEARTLAND HYDROGEN HUB IS TO CONTRACT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR BUSINESSES OWNED BY WOMEN, MINORITIES, DISABLED VETERANS, DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES, OR LGBTQ PERSONS. THE HEARTLAND HYDROGEN HUB ANTICIPATES CREATING UPWARDS OF 3,880 DIRECT JOBS–3,067 IN CONSTRUCTION JOBS AND 703 PERMANENT JOBS. TO OVERSEE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN (CBP), THIS H2HUB INTENDS TO CREATE A CBP ADVISORY BOARD.

CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM

NOUREXAL™: A NOVEL BIOENERGETIC DRUG TO INCREASE DONOR HEART UTILIZATION - PROJECT SUMMARY IN THE U.S., OVER 20,000 HEART TRANSPLANTS ARE NEEDED EACH YEAR, BUT FEWER THAN 4,000 PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED DESPITE THE YEARLY AVAILABILITY OF MORE THAN 12,000 DONORS. THIS GAP EXISTS BECAUSE 6 HEARTS FROM EVERY 10 ORGAN DONORS ARE UNUSED. THE VAST MAJORITY OF ELIGIBLE DONOR HEARTS ARE REJECTED BECAUSE THE TRANSPORT TIME IS LIMITED TO 4 HOURS. TO ADDRESS THIS UNMET NEED, NOUR HEART DEVELOPED AND PATENTED THE BIOENERGETIC CARDIOPROTECTIVE DRUG, NOUREXAL™ (CYCLOCREATINE PHOSPHATE (CCRP)), WHICH WAS RECENTLY GRANTED FDA ORPHAN DRUG DESIGNATION FOR “PREVENTION OF ISCHEMIC INJURY TO ENHANCE CARDIAC GRAFT RECOVERY AND SURVIVAL IN HEART TRANSPLANTATION” (DRU-2015-4951). CCRP ENHANCES MYOCARDIAL ENERGY STORES DURING ISCHEMIA, REDUCES CELL INJURY, INHIBITS INFLAMMATION AND FIBROSIS, AND RESTORES NORMAL CARDIAC FUNCTION AFTER EXTENDED COLD STORAGE OF RAT AND DOG HEARTS. FURTHER, INJECTION OF CCRP (1.2 GM/KG) INTO RAT DONORS, PROTECTED HEARTS DURING HARVESTING AND ALLOWED PROLONGED STORAGE FOR 22 HOURS WITH FULL RECOVERY OF SURGICALLY GRAFTED HEARTS FOR 3 DAYS. IN THIS TWO-YEAR DIRECT-TO-PHASE II SBIR PROJECT, NOUR HEART, INC. (NHI) WILL PREPARE AND FILE AN INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG (IND) FOR FDA APPROVAL TO INITIATE CCRP PHASE I SAFETY TRIAL IN HUMAN HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS. BASED ON THE FDA RESPONSE TO NHI’S PRE-IND APPLICATION (PIND 125867), WE WILL: 1) PRODUCE GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE (GMP) GRADE CCRP AND DETERMINE ITS CHEMISTRY MANUFACTURING AND CONTROLS (CMC) (AIM 1); 2) CONDUCT FDA- RECOMMENDED, IND-ENABLING CCRP PRECLINICAL SAFETY STUDIES IN RATS, DOGS, AND HUMAN UNUSED CADAVER DONORS (UCDS) (AIM 2) (INITIAL RAT STUDIES INDICATED THAT CCRP IS A SAFE DRUG); 3) CONDUCT A PILOT IN VIVO EFFICACY STUDY IN PIGS TO CONFIRM THE ABILITY OF CCRP TO SAFELY EXTEND COLD STORAGE TIME OF PIG HEARTS TO 6 HOURS BEFORE SURGICALLY TRANSPLANTING THE GRAFT INTO RECIPIENT PIGS (AIM 3). THIS PIG STUDY WILL BE OVERSEEN BY DR. O.H. FRAZIER AT THE TEXAS HEART INSTITUTE TO TEST THE THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS OF OUR PATENTED “THREE-STEP CLINICAL PROTOCOL” WHERE CCRP WILL BE ADMINISTERED ONLY ONCE TO HEART DONORS AND NOT TO RECIPIENTS; AND 4) PREPARE CCRP PHASE I SAFETY PROTOCOL, INVESTIGATIONAL BROCHURE, AS WELL AS ASSEMBLE AND FILE NOUR HEART’S IND APPLICATION TO THE FDA FOR AN INDICATION FOR END-STAGE HEART FAILURE PATIENTS SCHEDULED FOR HEART TRANSPLANTATION PROCEDURES (AIM 4). WE EXPECT CCRP TO BE SAFE IN RATS, DOGS, AND HUMAN UNUSED CADAVER DONORS AND CAN PRESERVE CARDIAC FUNCTION IN THE PIG HEART TRANSPLANTATION MODEL. AS A NOVEL BIOENERGETIC CARDIOPROTECTIVE DRUG, CCRP WILL POTENTIALLY INCREASE THE TIME AND DISTANCE THAT THE HEARTS CAN BE TRANSPORTED, THUS EXTENDING TRANSPLANTATION TO ELIGIBLE RECIPIENT CANDIDATES LOCATED OUTSIDE THE CURRENT 4-HOUR TRANSPORT LIMIT. UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT, NOUR HEART PLANS TO COMMERCIALIZE CCRP BY RAISING CAPITAL TO CONDUCT CCRP PHASE I SAFETY TRIAL, VIA TWO VENTURE CAPITAL GROUPS, WHO HAVE INDICATED INTEREST, OR TO PARTNER WITH RALLYBIO PHARMACEUTICALS. FUTURE BROADER USE OF CCRP THAT CAN SAFELY EXTEND TRANSPORT TIME (>4 HOURS), COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNUSED DONOR HEARTS & EXPAND SUPPLY OF USEABLE HUMAN DONOR HEARTS, THUS, POTENTIALLY INCREASE HEART TRANSPLANT CASES BY OVER 3,000 YEARLY.

THESE COMBINED EFFORTS WILL ADVANCE PUBLIC HEALTH, STRENGTHEN THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE, REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND HELP UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY. THE PROPOSED PROJECT’S GOALS ARE: (1) EXPAND THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE BY TRAINING NEW AND EXISTING COMMUNITY HEALTH CHWS WITH SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO OFFSET EXPENSES THAT WOULD IMPEDE SUCCESS IN TRAINING; (2) EXTEND AND UPSKILL THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE BY DEVELOPING NEW OR ENHANCING EXISTING CURRICULUMS TO INCREASE THE SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES OF EXISTING CHWS; (3) INCREASE CHW EMPLOYMENT READINESS THROUGH FIELD PLACEMENTS AND APPRENTICESHIPS DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH A NETWORK OF PARTNERSHIPS THAT WILL ENABLE TRAINEES TO RESPOND TO AND SUPPORT ESSENTIAL PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES AND PROVIDE THEM WITH EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES; AND (4) ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY AND SUPPORT FOR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF CHWS THAT ARE EMPLOYED AS INTEGRAL MEMBERS OF INTEGR ATED CARE TEAMS THAT USE THEIR EXPANDED SKILLS TO REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES. THE PRIORITY TARGET TRAINEE POPULATION FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO: (1) AFRICAN AMERICAN; (2) DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING; (3) DISABILITIES; (4) LATINX; (5) LGBTQ+; (6) RURAL, AND (7) SPIRITUALITY AND FAITH-BASED POPULATIONS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT AIMS TO TRAIN AT LEAST 240 CHWS REFLECTIVE OF POPULATIONS LIVING IN MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS IN A SIX-COUNTY TARGET MARKET IN THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE REGION. THE CHW TRAINEES WILL IDEALLY INCLUDE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF RURAL PLUS ETHNICALLY AND RACIALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS. ADDITIONALLY, A PARTICULAR EMPHASIS WILL BE PLACED ON IDENTIFYING AND RECRUITING TRAINEES WHO WILL REMAIN IN THEIR COMMUNITIES UPON COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM AND WORK TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF RESIDENTS THAT KNOW AND TRUST THE TRAINEE, THUS BRIDGING MORE HEALTH DISPARITY GAPS. WHILE ADMISSION TO THE CHW PROGRAM WILL NOT BE LIMITED BY RACE, ETHNICITY, OR BACKGROUND, THE PROJECT TEAM EXPECTS THE DIVERSITY OF CHWS WILL BE AS REFLECTIVE AS THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. ALL CHW TRAINEES WILL APPRECIATE AND RESPECT ETHNIC, LINGUISTIC, CULTURAL, AND SOCIOECONOMIC DIVERSITY. CHW TRAINEES WILL WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS "WHERE THEY ARE" AND ADDRESS THEM AS A WHOLE PERSON WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT. CHW TRAINING WILL ADDRESS CULTURAL AWARENESS, HEALTH EQUITY, SDOH, AND WILL BE CULTURALLY COMPETENT. INTEGRATED HEALTH EQUITY, SDOH, AND CULTURAL HUMILITY ARE CORE PRINCIPLES IN THE CURRENT CHW TRAINING CURRICULA AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE PROPOSED TRAINING PROGRAM. THESE CONCEPTS ARE COVERED MULTIPLE TIMES IN DIDACTIC COURSEWORK AND APPLIED IN CHW/PATIENT ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES WITH A PATIENT-CENTERED APPROACH. CHW TRAINEES MUST USE THESE CONCEPTS AND WILL BE EVALUATED THROUGH QUIZZES AND COMPETENCY TESTING.

VENEZUELANS PARTICULARLY IN UNDERSERVED AREAS, ENJOY IMPROVED PROTECTION AND HEALTH TO BETTER MEET NEEDS

RESIDENTIAL (GROUP HOME, SHELTER, TRANSITIONAL FOSTER CARE) SERVICES FOR UNACCOMPANIED ALIEN CHILDREN - HEARTSHARE ST. VINCENT’S SERVICES IS A FEDERALLY FUNDED RESIDENTIAL TFC PROGRAM WITHIN THE OFFICE OF REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT (ORR) THAT PROVIDES TEMPORARY CARE AND SERVICES FOR UNACCOMPANIED ALIEN CHILDREN ARRIVING IN THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIANS. THE PROGRAM ENSURES CHILDREN RECEIVE ESSENTIAL SERVICES INCLUDING HOUSING, MEDICAL CARE, EDUCATION, AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT WHILE IDENTIFYING AND VETTING SUITABLE SPONSORS THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE BACKGROUND CHECKS. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO SAFELY REUNITE CHILDREN WITH VETTED SPONSORS IN THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHILE MAINTAINING ONGOING CASE MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES.

ENHANCING ACCESS TO MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) SERVICES FOR EX-OFFENDERS AND HOMELESS WOMEN WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER IN TENNESSEE. - THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS A CRITICAL GAP IN ACCESS TO MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) FOR 500 EX-OFFENDERS AND HOMELESS WOMEN WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) BY USING AN INTEGRATED, COMPREHENSIVE EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH TO PROVIDE MEDICATION, BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, COUNSELING, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES ACROSS THE FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE. MENDING HEARTS, INC. (THE APPLICANT AGENCY) AIMS TO ACHIEVE COMPLETE RECOVERY FOR PROJECT PARTICIPANTS IN THE NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA, CONSISTING OF BEDFORD, CHEATHAM, DAVIDSON, DICKSON, MARSHALL, MAURY, MONTGOMERY, ROBERTSON, RUTHERFORD, SUMNER, WILLIAMSON, AND WILSON COUNTIES. THE OUD CRISIS IS PARTICULARLY DIRE IN THE CATCHMENT AREA, WHICH RANKS HIGHEST IN TN IN TERMS OF BOTH REPORTED SUD AND CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS. IN TN, THE NUMBER OF OPIOID OVERDOSE DEATHS INCREASED FROM 861 IN 2014 TO 1,304 IN 2018. THE RATE OF HEROIN OVERDOES INCREASED OVER 150%, FROM 147 IN 2014 TO 367 IN 2018. ALARMINGLY, THE RATE OF FENTANYL OVERDOES ROSE CLOSE TO 1,000%, FROM 69 TO 742 DURING THE SAME PERIOD. IN 2020, FENTANYL CONTRIBUTED TO MORE THAN HALF OF ALL REPORTED OVERDOSES IN THE STATE. HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER OPIOID-RELATED ER VISITS/HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS AND ARE NINE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO FACE OVERDOSE DEATHS COMPARED TO LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSING. FURTHERMORE, APPROXIMATELY 33.8% OF THE OVERDOSE DEATHS DUE TO OPIOIDS IN TN WERE WOMEN, COMPARED TO 30.5% IN THE US. IN TN, WOMEN ACCOUNTED FOR 44.2% OF OPIOIDS ADMISSIONS AND 37.8% OF THE HEROIN ADMISSIONS TO SUD TREATMENT, YET ONLY 20 OF THE 64 TREATMENT FACILITIES (31%) IN THE STATE PROVIDE SERVICES TO WOMEN; THIS SIGNIFICANT SERVICE GAP LEAVES WOMEN, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED AND/OR INDIGENT, DRASTICALLY UNDERSERVED. THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A COORDINATED, PERSON-CENTERED RECOVERY SERVICE MODEL THAT WILL OFFER ACCESSIBLE, EFFECTIVE, AND CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE CARE FOR THIS POPULATION OF FOCUS. THE OUTCOMES INCLUDE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD RECEIVING MAT, PSYCHOTHERAPY, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES, A DECREASE IN ILLICIT OPIOID DRUG USE AND PRESCRIPTION OPIOID MISUSE AT SIX-MONTH FOLLOW-UP, REDUCED RECIDIVISM AMONG EX-OFFENDERS, AND REDUCED HOMELESSNESS. PARTNERING AGENCIES INCLUDE HOSPITALS, ERS, MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, EMPLOYMENT PROVIDERS, AND OTHERS TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF THESE WOMEN. MS. TRINA FRIERSON, MENDING HEARTS CEO, HAS EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS, POVERTY, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, AND INCARCERATION. SHE HAS MADE IT HER PRIMARY MISSION IN LIFE TO HELP OTHERS STRUGGLING WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT ARE: (1) TO DEVELOP OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR RECRUITMENT OF 500 INDIGENT WOMEN WITH OUD (100 PER YEAR); (2) TO CONDUCT SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT TO DELIVER MAT AND RECOVERY SERVICES FOR OUD FOR 500 INDIGENT WOMEN WITH OUD (100 PER YEAR); (3) TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE-BASED MAT AND RECOVERY SERVICES FOR 500 INDIGENT WOMEN WITH OUD (100 PER YEAR); AND (4) TO DECREASE ILLICIT OPIOID USE, PRESCRIPTION OPIOID MISUSE, ILLICIT DRUGS AND ALCOHOL USE AT SIX-MONTH FOLLOW-UP FOR 500 INDIGENT WOMEN WITH OUD (100 PER YEAR) AS MEASURED USING THE GPRA TOOL.

BINAURAL CUE SENSITIVITY IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH COMBINED ELECTRIC AND ACOUSTIC STIMULATION - PROJECT SUMMARY COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION WITH MINIMALLY TRAUMATIC SURGICAL TECHNIQUES AND ATRAUMATIC ELECTRODE ARRAYS HAS LED TO AN INCREASING PREVALENCE OF ADULT AND PEDIATRIC COCHLEAR IMPLANT (CI) RECIPIENTS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR COMBINED ELECTRIC AND BINAURAL ACOUSTIC STIMULATION (EAS). MANY STUDIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT ADULT EAS USERS CONSISTENTLY EXHIBIT SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS FOR SPEECH UNDERSTANDING IN NOISE AND SPATIAL HEARING TASKS AS COMPARED TO A CI PAIRED ONLY WITH A CONTRALATERAL HA. WE HAVE ALSO DEMONSTRATED THAT SENSITIVITY TO INTERAURAL TIME DIFFERENCE (ITD) AND INTERAURAL LEVEL DIFFERENCE (ILD) CUES IS CORRELATED WITH EAS BENEFIT FOR POSTLINGUALLY DEAFENED ADULT LISTENERS. DESPITE THIS ACTIVE PHASE OF DISCOVERY, THERE IS STILL A STRIKING PAUCITY OF RESEARCH ON EAS OUTCOMES IN PEDIATRIC CI USERS, THE EXPECTED TRAJECTORY OF BENEFIT FOLLOWING EAS FITTING, AS WELL AS UNDERLYING MECHANISMS DRIVING EAS BENEFIT (OR LACK THEREOF) IN ALL POPULATIONS. THERE IS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN EAS AVAILABILITY AND EAS UTILIZATION IN ALL CI RECIPIENTS AND CURRENT AUDIOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT OF EAS CANDIDATES IS NOT DATA DRIVEN. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC GIVEN THE PROTRACTED MATURATION OF THE BINAURAL SYSTEM AND THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT ADDITIONAL EFFECTS SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS AND COMBINED EAS MAY HAVE ON THE DEVELOPING BINAURAL SYSTEM. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH ACTIVITIES WILL DESCRIBE THE TIME COURSE OF BINAURAL DEVELOPMENT USING BEHAVIORAL AND OBJECTIVE RESPONSES TO INTERAURAL DIFFERENCES IN TIMING (PHASE) AND LEVEL AS WELL AS ALLOW FOR A NATURAL FACTOR INVESTIGATION OF A CLINICAL INTERVENTION, THE EAS FITTING, ON SAID DEVELOPMENT. WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF A CLINICAL TRIAL, WE WILL COMPARE ACUTE AND CHRONIC EAS OUTCOMES FOR SPEECH RECOGNITION AND SPATIAL HEARING AS RELATED TO BINAURAL CUE SENSITIVITY, CUE WEIGHTING, AND UNDERLYING NEURAL SYNCHRONY NECESSARY FOR ITD RESOLUTION. WE HAVE PROPOSED A SINGLE-GROUP ASSIGNMENT FOR BOTH ADULT AND PEDIATRIC EAS USERS AND WILL ALSO INCLUDE CHRONOLOGICAL- AND HEARING-AGE-MATCHED LISTENERS WITH NORMAL HEARING (NH). A WITHIN-SUBJECTS, ACCELERATED LONGITUDINAL DESIGN FOR BOTH EAS AND NH LISTENERS WILL PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE DEVELOPMENTAL TRAJECTORY OF THE BINAURAL SYSTEM FOR CHILDREN NH AND WILL PROVIDE A BENCHMARK FOR INTERPRETING EFFECTS OF SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS, ASYMMETRY IN AUDIBILITY RESULTING FROM COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION, AND EAS USE ON SAID TRAJECTORY. OUR PROPOSED RESEARCH ACTIVITIES WILL HELP CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT IS TECHNOLOGICALLY POSSIBLE WITH EAS TECHNOLOGY AND WHAT IS CLINICALLY IMPLEMENTED BY OTOLOGISTS AND AUDIOLOGISTS INVESTIGATING DEVELOPMENT OF BINAURAL SENSITIVITY AND SPATIAL HEARING ABILITIES.

COMPREHENSIVE HIV DATA TO CARE(DC2) INTERVENTION IN SUBURBAN MARYLAND - PROJECT ABSTRACT SUMMARYHEART TO HAND, INC (H2H) IS SEEKING $470,000 PER YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS TO STRENGTHEN OUR ABILITY TO END THE HIV EPIDEMIC THROUGH A STRONG, EFFECTIVE, DATA-TO-CARE INITIATIVE THAT IS A CLEAR PATH OF DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, PREVENTION AND RESPONSE ACTIVITIES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV OR AT RISK OF ACQUIRING HIV IN SUBURBAN MARYLAND WITH A FOCUS ON PRINCE GEORGE?S COUNTY. HAVING PROVIDED HIV SERVICES IN THE REGION FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE VARIOUS CARE AND PREVENTION INTERVENTIONS. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PROVIDED HIV CARE TO MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE PER YEAR, HIV SCREENING FOR MORE THAN 1200 ANNUALLY AND OUTREACH TO MORE THAN 4000 ANNUALLY. MARYLAND WAS RANKED SIXTH AMONG THE U.S. STATES AND TERRITORIES IN HIV DIAGNOSIS RATES IN 2018. THE SUBURBAN REGION OF THE STATE INCLUDING PRINCE GEORGE?S AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES ARE LISTED AMONG THE 50 LOCAL AREAS THAT ACCOUNT FOR MORE THAN HALF OF THE NEW HIV DIAGNOSIS IN THE COUNTRY. PRINCE GEORGE?S COUNTY, OUR HOME BASE, LEADS THE STATE IN NEW HIV DIAGNOSIS. UNLIKE THE SURROUNDING AREAS, ALMOST HALF THE NEW HIV CASES IN PRINCE GEORGE?S COUNTY (41%) REPORT HETEROSEXUAL CONTACT AS THE MODE OF TRANSMISSION. WHEN YOU OVERLAY THIS WITH THE INCREASING STI RATES AMONG BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN IN THE SAME AGE GROUP, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THERE IS AN UNMET NEED OF GENERAL SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE AND FOCUSED SERVICES FOR THIS POPULATION. THIS, IN ADDITION TO THE STIGMA AROUND HIV IN THE SUBURBAN REGION, MEANS MANY OF THE FOCUS POPULATION DO NOT SEE THEMSELVES AT RISK. USING THE DATA-TO-CARE APPROACH, WE INTEND TO FIRST START WITHIN OUR CLIENT BASE TO REACH OUT AND RECAPTURE CLIENTS THAT NEVER MADE IT TO CARE OR HAVE FALLEN OUT OF CARE, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO HAVE CD4 COUNTS THAT FALL AND VIRAL LOADS THAT CLIMB SUDDENLY. THIS APPROACH WILL ALSO ALLOW US TO STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND OUR PARTNER SERVICES EFFORTS TO REACH MORE PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN EXP OSED, GET THEM TESTED AND INTO CARE IF POSITIVE, OR CONNECTED TO PREP IF NEGATIVE. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW US TO DO MORE STI TESTING AND TREATMENT AND SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION. CLIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM WILL BE SUPPORTED THROUGH TWO INNOVATIVE APPROACHES: OUR SEXUAL HEALTH IN EVERYTHING (S/HE) CAMPAIGN AND THE HEALTHCONNECT PROGRAM. BOTH APPROACHES INVOLVE TRAINED LINKAGE TO CARE NAVIGATORS THAT WILL UTILIZE AT LEAST TWO NON-STATUS BASED, CDC-APPROVED BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS TO LINK CLIENTS TO CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE CARE. THE PROJECT WILL TEST AT LEAST 300 PEOPLE PER YEAR FOR HIV, 90% WILL BE LINKED TO HIV CARE, 70% TO PREP, AND H2H WILL BE BETTER POSITIONED TO ASSIST THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WITH AN HIV CLUSTER RESPONSE.GIVEN THE CURRENT PANDEMIC, WE WERE HIT HARD WITH COVID CASES AND A PROLONGED LOCKDOWN. WE ANTICIPATE THAT OUR WORK WILL BE CUT OUT FOR US AS MANY IN OUR FOCUS POPULATION ARE DEALING WITH AN OVERALL SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES. HOWEVER, WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THROUGH THIS FOCUSED STRATEGY, WE WILL MAKE MEASURABLE PROGRESS IN OUR AREA?S PLAN TO END THE HIV EPIDEMIC. EACH ENCOUNTER WITH A CLIENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE TIDE OF HIV AND STI INFECTIONS IN OUR REGION.

MAGLEV LVAD WITH EXPANDABLE STENTED INLET AND ANTI-THROMBOTIC COATING TO IMPROVE HEMOCOMPATIBILITY - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT NEARLY 5 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE USA SUFFER FROM HEART FAILURE, WITH APPROXIMATELY 400,000 HEART FAILURE-RELATED DEATHS OCCURRING YEARLY. HEART FAILURE CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTHCARE BURDEN AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES MOBILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE. LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE (LVAD) IS A PROMISING THERAPEUTIC OPTION FOR END-STAGE HEART FAILURE PATIENTS BESIDES CARDIAC TRANSPLANT, WHICH IS LIMITED BY THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE DONORS. HOWEVER, SEVERE COMPLICATIONS, INCLUDING BLEEDING AND THROMBOSIS, SIGNIFICANTLY WORSEN THE LONG-TERM OUTCOME IN PATIENTS WITH IMPLANTED LVADS. THIS PROPOSED INNOVATIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY EFFORT AIMS TO MAXIMIZE THE LVAD HEMOCOMPATIBILITY FROM TWO DIFFERENT FRONTS: HEMOCOMPATIBLE SLIPPERY HYDROPHILIC (SLIC) COATINGS AND INNOVATIVE STENTED INLET DESIGN. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT BY USING THE SLIC COATING AND INNOVATIVE DESIGN OPTIMIZATION, THE DEVICE WILL ACHIEVE EXCELLENT HEMOCOMPATIBILITY AND DRAMATICALLY REDUCE BLOOD DAMAGE AND THROMBOSIS RISK. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A NOVEL MAGNETIC LEVITATED (MAGLEV) LVAD WITH EXCELLENT HEMOCOMPATIBILITY TO REDUCE THROMBOSIS AND COMPLICATION INCIDENTS SIGNIFICANTLY. AFTER A SERIES OF IN VITRO VALIDATION TESTING AND HEMOCOMPATIBILITY EVALUATION, THE LVAD PROTOTYPE WILL BE EVALUATED AND VALIDATED IN VIVO WITH LARGE ANIMAL MODELS. THESE BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATIONS WILL BRING LVAD TECHNOLOGY A GIANT LEAP FORWARD, EVENTUALLY CROSSING THE THRESHOLD OF NON-INFERIOR OUTCOMES COMPARED TO CARDIAC TRANSPLANTS. FOUR AIMS ARE PROPOSED TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT. IN AIM 1 (OPTIMIZE SLIC COATINGS FOR MAXIMUM ANTITHROMBOTIC RESPONSE), WE WILL FABRICATE AND CHARACTERIZE THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL INHOMOGENEITIES OF SLIC COATINGS. THE COATING WILL COVER THE ENTIRE DEVICE, INCLUDING DRIVE SYSTEM AND INLET CANNULA. THE PROPERTIES AND DURABILITY OF THE COATINGS WILL BE THOROUGHLY TESTED. IN AIM 2 (OPTIMIZE LVAD DESIGN AND DEVELOP NOVEL STENTED INLET TO REDUCE THROMBOSIS RISK), WE WILL USE A MACHINE LEARNING-BASED OPTIMIZATION FRAMEWORK AND AN INNOVATIVE STENTED INLET DESIGN TO REDUCE BLOOD DAMAGE AND ELIMINATE THE RISK OF THROMBOSIS AT THE INLET. THE DEVICE'S HEMODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE WILL BE EVALUATED IN VITRO BY USING 2D AND 3D PARTICLE IMAGE VELOCIMETRY. IN AIM 3 (DESIGN AND EVALUATE MAGLEV DRIVE SYSTEM WITH HEART RATE SENSING FOR SPEED CONTROL), WE WILL DEVELOP THE MAGLEV DRIVE SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE HEMOLYSIS AND INCORPORATE IT WITH SPEED CONTROL MODULATION TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF REGIONAL BLOOD STAGNATION. FINALLY, THE SLIC LVAD WILL BE VALIDATED IN AIM 4 (EVALUATE IN VITRO AND IN VIVO HEMOCOMPATIBILITY OF THE PUMP PROTOTYPE) BY BOTH IN VITRO BLOOD LOOP EXPERIMENTS AND LARGE-ANIMAL MODELS FOR HEMOCOMPATIBILITY PERFORMANCE AND DEVICE ENERGY TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY. THIS NOVEL DEVICE WILL POTENTIALLY BE DEVELOPED AS A LOW-THROMBOSIS-INFECTION-RISK THERAPEUTIC, A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO CARDIAC TRANSPLANT, PROVIDING LONG- TERM SUPPORT TO END-STAGE HEART FAILURE PATIENTS.

LANDOWNER COLLABORATIVE STRATEGIES FOR NONLETHAL PREDATOR COTROL

INTELLISTENT: A MINIMALLY INVASIVE, ADJUSTABLE PULMONARY FLOW RESTRICTOR SYSTEM FOR CONGENITAL AND ACQUIRED HEART DISEASE - ABSTRACT HEARTPOINT GLOBAL’S INTELLISTENT IS THE FIRST MINIMALLY INVASIVE, ADJUSTABLE PULMONARY FLOW RESTRICTOR DEVELOPED FOR PEDIATRIC AND CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE (CHD) PATIENTS. TREATMENTS TO MODIFY PULMONARY FLOW IN THE PEDIATRIC AND CHD POPULATIONS ARE CURRENTLY LIMITED TO OPEN-CHEST PULMONARY ARTERY BANDING (PAB) AND EXPENSIVE MEDICATION REGIMENS. BOTH OF THESE TREATMENTS HAVE SEVERE LIMITATIONS, INCLUDING SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY, AND HAVE HIGH RATES OF FAILURE. THERE IS A CRITICAL UNMET NEED TO DEVELOP NOVEL TREATMENTS THAT ARE BOTH MORE EFFECTIVE AND LESS RISKY THAN CURRENT APPROACHES. PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO ADAPT DEVICES DESIGNED FOR ADULT CARDIOVASCULAR TREATMENTS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL, LARGELY DUE TO THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF PEDIATRIC AND CHD PATIENTS. INTELLISTENT IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED IN A SIZE RANGE SUITABLE FOR PATIENTS 12 YEARS AND UP, WITH SUCCESSFUL PRE-CLINICAL TESTING COMPLETED THAT SHOWED NO SIGNS OF THROMBOSIS IN CHRONIC (9.5 MONTH) STUDIES. RE- ENGINEERING THE INTELLISTENT IN A SIZE RANGE SUITABLE FOR NEONATES AND INFANTS WOULD REPRESENT THE FIRST MINIMALLY- INVASIVE TREATMENT SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED FOR CHILDREN. THIS PROPOSAL AIMS TO PREPARE INTELLISTENT FOR FIRST-IN-HUMAN TESTING FOR SIZES IN PATIENTS FROM BIRTH. OUR SPECIFIC AIMS ARE: (1) DOWNSIZE THE INTELLISTENT TO BE SUITABLE FOR PATIENTS FROM BIRTH, INCLUDING PRECLINICAL TESTING; (2) COMPLETE BIOCOMPATIBILITY TESTING AS REQUIRED FOR REGULATORY SUBMISSION; AND, (3) OPTIMIZE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES FOR CLINICAL AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION. SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BRING TO MARKET A NOVEL TREATMENT FOR PULMONARY FLOW MODIFICATION AND REPRESENT A TRANSFORMATIVE STEP IN THE TREATMENT OF PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH CONGENITAL AND ACQUIRED HEART DISEASE.
