THE FORTUNE SOCIETY'S POSITIVE ENCOUNTERS PROGRAM (PEP)

TARGET: INTEGRATED THERAPIES FOR HIGH-RISK SUBSTANCE ABUSERS WITH PTSD

PROVISION OF MAT SERVICES TO JUSTICE-INVOLVED POPULATIONS IN NYC - THE FORTUNE SOCIETY (FORTUNE) IS PROPOSING A NEW PROGRAM IN RESPONSE TO THE US SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA) FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA) FOR MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT – PRESCRIPTION DRUG AND OPIOID ADDICTION (MAT-PDOA). DRAWING ON OUR EXPERTISE AS ONE OF THE NATION’S PREEMINENT REENTRY ORGANIZATIONS, FORTUNE WILL EXPAND ACCESS TO MAT FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS AGED 16 YEARS AND ABOVE AND REDUCE THE RISK OF RELAPSE AND/OR OVERDOSE FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED ADULTS WITH OUD THROUGH, “MAT SERVICES FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED POPULATIONS.” FORTUNE PROPOSES SERVING AT LEAST 100 JUSTICE-INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS EACH YEAR FOR THE DURATION OF THIS PROGRAM, EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST YEAR IN WHICH WE PROPOSE SERVING AT LEAST 75 INDIVIDUALS, GIVEN THE TIME NEEDED FOR PROGRAM STARTUP. FORTUNE WILL ENGAGE OUR TARGET POPULATION THROUGH “INREACH” AND OUTREACH, PROMOTING OUR MAT PROGRAM AMONG A WIDE RANGE OF PARTNERS AND PROVIDERS, AND STRENGTHENING PROACTIVE REFERRAL PATHWAYS FROM DEPARTMENTS WITHIN FORTUNE THAT SEE HIGH NUMBERS OF CLIENTS WITH SUD/OUD, SUCH AS ADMISSIONS/BENEFITS ACCESS, OUR INDIVIDUALIZED CORRECTIONS ACHIEVEMENT NETWORK PROGRAM FOR DISCHARGE PLANNING (I-CAN) AND HOUSING (BOTH PERMANENT AND EMERGENCY/TRANSITIONAL). FORTUNE WILL PARTNER WITH NYC CORRECTIONAL HEALTH SERVICES (CHS), WHICH PROVIDES MAT ON RIKERS ISLAND, AS WELL AS THE NURSES IN THE DISCHARGE PLANNING UNIT (DPU) AT THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION (DOCCS), WHICH PROVIDES HEALTHCARE REFERRALS FOR STATE RELEASES, TO RECEIVE REFERRALS FOR CONTINUATION OF MAT UPON THESE PATIENTS’ RELEASE. FORTUNE WILL USE EVIDENCE-BASED SCREENING TOOLS AND PRACTICES TO SCREEN AND ASSESS ELIGIBLE CLIENTS FOR NEEDED MAT SERVICES, INCLUDING BOTH INDUCTION AND CONTINUATION OF MAT, PROVIDING ABUSE-DETERRENT FORMULATIONS SUCH AS BUPRENORPHINE AND/OR BUPRENORPHINE WITH NALOXONE (E.G. SUBOXONE) TO JUSTICE-INVOLVED CLIENTS THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THIS PROGRAM AND REFERRING TO PROVIDER PARTNERS, INCLUDING H+H AND MONTEFIORE TRANSITIONS CLINICS, FOR CLIENTS SEEKING OR IN NEED OF METHADONE-BASED MAT SERVICES OR REQUIRING MAT SERVICES DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS (I.E. EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS). IN ORDER TO ENSURE LONG-TERM RECOVERY AND CONTINUATION OF MAT THROUGH THE REENTRY PROCESS, FORTUNE WILL LEVERAGE RESOURCES FROM ACROSS THE ENTIRE AGENCY. DEDICATED OUD COUNSELORS WITH TRAINING AND/OR CERTIFICATION IN SUBSTANCE USE COUNSELING (SUCH AS A CASAC CERTIFICATION FROM NYS) WILL SUPPORT ALL MAT CLIENTS WITH COUNSELING AND ANY OTHER PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORTS NEEDED, INCLUDING WARM HANDOFFS AND CONNECTIONS TO SERVICES. FURTHERMORE, RECOGNIZING THE INVALUABLE ROLE THAT PEERS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING EXPERIENCE WITH SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT AND RECOVERY, CAN HAVE IN MOTIVATING THOSE WITH CRIMINAL JUSTICE HISTORIES, ALL CLIENTS WILL BE CONNECTED TO FORTUNE’S NEST, A PEER-DRIVEN SUPPORTIVE SERVICES PROGRAM THAT WILL GIVE MAT CLIENTS A SAFE SPACE TO ENGAGE WITH PEERS WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH WHAT THEY HAVE. NEST PROVIDES CLIENTS WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUAL MENTORING AND COACHING, AS WELL AS PEER SUPPORT GROUPS, WHICH FORTUNE ANTICIPATES WILL PROVE A CRITICAL ASPECT OF ENSURING ADHERENCE TO MAT OVER THE LONG-TERM. ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED WITH $10 AND $20 GIFT CARDS AT THEIR 3- AND 6-MONTH CHECK-INS TO BETTER INCENTIVIZE COMPLETION OF THE 6-MONTH GPRA EVALUATION AND TO PROMOTE UPTAKE OF TREATMENT IN THE LONG-TERM. FURTHERMORE, FORTUNE WILL ENSURE THAT CLIENTS ARE SUPPORTED HOLISTICALLY, INCLUDING IN HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, CONNECTIONS TO PRIMARY/ BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, FOOD AND NUTRITION, AND MORE, RECOGNIZING THAT INSTABILITY IN ANY ONE OF THESE AREAS CAN POTENTIALLY TRIGGER A RELAPSE OR LEAD TO AN ENVIRONMENT NOT CONDUCIVE TO LONG-TERM TREATMENT. FORTUNE PRIDES ITSELF ON A COMMITMENT TO LIFETIME AFTERCARE AND WILL EXEMPLIFY THIS DEDICATION BY ENSUR

THE FORTUNE SOCIETY'S GRANTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS PROGRAM INITIATIVE - THE FORTUNE SOCIETY’S (FORTUNE’S) GRANTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS (GBHI) PROGRAM WILL SERVE JUSTICE-IMPACTED ADULTS AND FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN ALL FIVE BOROUGHS OF NEW YORK CITY (NYC). ALL FORTUNE PARTICIPANTS HAVE PRIOR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM; IN A TYPICAL YEAR, 90% IDENTIFY AS INDIVIDUALS OF COLOR (PRIMARILY BLACK AND LATINO); AT INTAKE, UP TO 90% ARE UNEMPLOYED, OVER HALF HAVE NO SOURCE OF MONTHLY INCOME, AND APPROXIMATELY HALF HAVE CO-OCCURRING HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH, ALCOHOL OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 (7/1/2021-6/30/2022), 26% OF NEW INTAKES REPORTED THAT THEY WERE HOMELESS OR UNSTABLY HOUSED; AND IN OUR TREATMENT SERVICES UNIT, WHICH PROVIDES OUTPATIENT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) TREATMENT, ONE-THIRD (33%) OF PARTICIPANTS REPORTED THAT THEY WERE HOMELESS. THE RACIAL AND ETHNIC DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR PARTICIPANT POPULATION REFLECT THE NEIGHBORHOODS FROM WHICH THEY HAIL. OF THE 10,107 INDIVIDUALS WE SERVED IN FY22, APPROXIMATELY 84% IDENTIFIED AS MALE, 9% AS FEMALE, AND LESS THAN 1% AS TRANSGENDER/GENDER NON-CONFORMING. THE AVERAGE PARTICIPANT AGE IN FY22 WAS 41. THE HUD CONTINUUM OF CARE (COC) PROVIDING SERVICES IN FORTUNE’S PROPOSED CATCHMENT AREA IS THE NEW YORK CITY COC (NY-600). AS A RECIPIENT OF HUD SHELTER PLUS CARE (S+C) AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM (SHP) FUNDING, FORTUNE IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE COC AND STAFF REPRESENTATIVES–MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND/OR HOMELESSNESS—REGULARLY ATTEND ALL NYC COC MEETINGS AND PARTICIPATE ON THE NYC COC EVALUATION COMMITTEE. FORTUNE’S GBHI PROGRAM WILL SERVE 275 PARTICIPANTS OVER THE FIVE-YEAR GRANT PERIOD (45 PARTICIPANTS IN YEAR 1, 50 IN YEAR 2, 55 IN YEAR 3, 60 IN YEAR 4, AND 65 IN YEAR 5), ENROLLING THEM INTO INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TREATMENT AND WRAPAROUND SERVICES. KEY PROJECT GOALS INCLUDE (1) PROVIDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTREACH, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY-ORIENTED SERVICES TO JUSTICE-INVOLVED ADULTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS; (2) COORDINATE HOUSING AND PROGRAM SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PEER SUPPORT, RECOVERY SUPPORT, AND LINKAGE TO PERMANENT HOUSING; AND (3) ENGAGE AND CONNECT PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WITH SUD OR COD TO HEALTH INSURANCE AND BENEFITS. IN ADDITION TO FORTUNE’S EXISTING REFERRAL PIPELINE, WE WILL USE PEERS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE TO OUTREACH AND ENGAGE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SUD OR COD FOR ENGAGEMENT IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. PROJECTED OUTCOMES INCLUDE: 40% OF THOSE ENROLLED WILL HAVE A SERVICE-LEVEL RETENTION OF 90 DAYS OR MORE; 100% OF THOSE ENROLLED IN INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORTIVE SERVICES WHO ARE HOMELESS OR AT RISK OF STREET HOMELESSNESS WILL BE SCREENED FOR POTENTIAL PLACEMENT IN FORTUNE'S HOUSING PROGRAM; ALL GBHI PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WILL BE OFFERED THE FOLLOWING SUPPORTIVE SERVICES: PEER SERVICES, MEDICATION ASSISTANCE/LINKAGES TO HEALTHCARE, AND 2010E APPLICATION ASSISTANCE IN PREPARATION FOR PERMANENT HOUSING PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE; AND 100% OF PARTICIPANTS WILL BE CONNECTED TO CERTIFIED APPLICATIONS COUNSELORS FOR MEDICAID ACTIVATION/RE-ACTIVATION, FORTUNE'S BENEFITS ACCESS TEAM FOR ASSISTANCE WITH SSI, SSD, SNAP, AND TANF, AND, WHEN NECESSARY, TO FORTUNE'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS FOR ASSISTANCE WITH MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION APPLICATION FORMS.

SBIR PHASE II: SCALABLE DEVELOPMENT OF FULLY BIO-BASED AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE BIO-INSPIRED MATERIALS -THE BROADER/COMMERCIAL IMPACT OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT IS CENTERED ON DEVELOPING AND SCALING UP A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM FOR 100% BIO-BASED AND 100% BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS DESIGNED TO REPLACE HIGH CARBON FOOTPRINT MATERIALS LIKE LEATHER AND SYNTHETIC LEATHER. THE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM USES A BIO-BASED POLYMER STRUCTURE AND CROSS-LINKING POLYMER-FILLER THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH INORGANIC MINERAL AND ORGANIC FIBROUS FILLERS, IMPARTING SUPERIOR MATERIAL PROPERTIES TO THE END-PRODUCT. OVER TWO BILLION SQUARE YARDS OF LEATHER ARE PRODUCED PER YEAR IN AN $86 BILLION ANNUAL MARKET. THE LEATHER INDUSTRY IS ASSOCIATED WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS SUCH AS UNWANTED EMISSIONS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, ANIMAL AGRICULTURE, DEFORESTATION, AND WATER POLLUTION CAUSED BY TOXIC CHEMICALS USED TO PROCESS, TAN, AND DYE LEATHER. SYNTHETIC ALTERNATIVES TO LEATHER ARE CURRENTLY MADE OF PETROLEUM-DERIVED PLASTICS THAT ARE NOT BIODEGRADABLE, INSTEAD BREAKING DOWN INTO MICROPLASTICS THAT PERSIST IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND POSE POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS TO HUMANS. WITH GROWING DEMAND FOR ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS AND REDUCTION IN CARBON FOOTPRINT, THE MATERIALS PRODUCED BY THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY WILL MEET NEED FOR ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS IN INDUSTRIES INCLUDING FASHION, FOOTWEAR, APPAREL, AND AUTOMOTIVE. THIS PROJECT WILL BUILD ON THE COMPANY?S NOVEL POLYMER STRUCTURE AND UNIQUE POLYMER-FILLER CROSS-LINKING SYSTEM, SCALING UP THE TECHNOLOGY WHILE PRESERVING ITS HIGH PERFORMANCE IN TENSILE STRENGTH, ELONGATION AT BREAK, COATING ADHESION, FLEX RESISTANCE, ABRASION RESISTANCE, AND HYDROLYSIS RESISTANCE. INITIAL R&D EFFORTS WILL FOCUS ON OPTIMIZING THE POLYMER?S STRUCTURE, VISCOSITY?TEMPERATURE PROFILE, AND DEGREES OF UNSATURATION AND CROSS-LINKING TO MEET THE SAFETY AND HANDLING REQUIREMENTS OF A PILOT-SCALE POLYMERIZATION REACTOR. THE GOAL IS TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING MIXING, COATING, AND CROSS-LINKING PROCESSES, MINIMIZING THE NEED FOR NEW INFRASTRUCTURE, WHILE ALSO EVALUATING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND CARBON FOOTPRINT. BY DOING SO, THE PROJECT AIMS TO DELIVER A HIGH-EFFICIENCY, COST-EFFECTIVE, ECO-FRIENDLY, AND COMMERCIALLY VIABLE PRODUCTION METHOD FOR THIS NEXT-GENERATION CLASS OF 100% BIO-BASED HIGH-PERFORMANCE MATERIALS. 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.

SBIR PHASE II: WIRELESS-WIRELINE CONVERGENCE -THE SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT PROVIDES UBIQUITOUS INDOOR ACCESS TO HIGH CAPACITY, LOW LATENCY 5G AND 6G NETWORKS WHICH CAN HAVE DIRECT AND INDIRECT BENEFITS TO SOCIETY. ?THE DIRECT BENEFITS INCLUDE AN INCREASE IN THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT MANUFACTURING, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, AND ENTERPRISE SERVICES. ?FOR INSTANCE, REMOTE DIAGNOSIS AND SURGERY REQUIRE VERY HIGH DATA RATES AND VERY LOW LATENCY, BUT MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF HOSPITALS GENERATE SIGNIFICANT INTERFERENCE AND PROPAGATION ISSUES WHICH DRASTICALLY LIMIT COVERAGE. MODERN INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING (INDUSTRY 4.0) ALSO REQUIRES ADVANCED NETWORKS TO ENABLE IN-BUILDING ROBOTICS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND AUGMENTED REALITY TO ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY. ?REMOVING HIGH FREQUENCY 5G COVERAGE LIMITATIONS WILL DIRECTLY IMPROVE THE ABILITY OF THESE INDUSTRIES TO DRIVE MEDICAL ADVANCES, INCREASE MANUFACTURING SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY, INCREASE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, AND IMPROVE GENERAL WORKPLACE PRODUCTIVITY. THE INDIRECT BENEFITS OF THIS PROJECT, WHILE MORE DIFFICULT TO QUANTIFY, MAY BE MORE IMPORTANT: LOWERING THE ECONOMIC BURDEN FOR HIGH-SPEED CONNECTIVITY WILL ENHANCE THE DIVERSITY OF USERS THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO INNOVATION, THEREBY RESULTING IN A NONLINEAR INCREASE IN SOCIETAL PROGRESS. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT?S GOAL IS TO COMMERCIALIZE A NOVEL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED IN PHASE 1 TO ENHANCE 5G INDOOR INTERNET COVERAGE. THE CORE INNOVATION IS A CONVERGENCE OF WIRELINE AND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES ENABLED THROUGH A COLLABORATION BETWEEN ONE OF THE INVENTORS OF CORE DSL (WIRELINE) TECHNOLOGY AND EXPERTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MMWAVE 5G (WIRELESS). SPECIFICALLY, THE SOLUTION ALLOWS FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF MID-BAND AND MMWAVE 5G SIGNALS OVER AN EXISTING WIRELINE MEDIUM SUCH AS CAT5, CAT6, OR COAX WHICH CURRENTLY HAVE LIMITED USE BUT ARE ALREADY WIDELY DEPLOYED IN BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THIS SOLUTION IS POSSIBLE TODAY BECAUSE OF AN ECOSYSTEM THAT INCLUDES NEW OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (ORAN) STANDARDS, 5G CORES AVAILABLE IN THE CLOUD, AND INCREASED PROCESSING POWER. THE RESEARCH CONDUCTED THROUGH THIS PROJECT WILL PROVE THE FEASIBILITY OF UBIQUITOUS IN-BUILDING COVERAGE AT SCALE WITH MULTIPLE LOW-COST RADIOFREQUENCY (RF) NODES BROADCASTING A 5G SIGNAL THAT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE OUTDOOR SIGNALS FROM CELL TOWERS. THE RESULT OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE A SEAMLESS CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE THAT PROVIDES THE BANDWIDTH AND LATENCY PROMISED BY 5G AND 6G TECHNOLOGIES INSIDE BUILDINGS. 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.

THE FORTUNE SOCIETY'S ADULT REENTRY PROGRAM - THE FORTUNE SOCIETY’S (FORTUNE’S) ADULT REENTRY PROGRAM (AR PROGRAM) WILL EXPAND UPON THE SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) TREATMENT AND RELATED RECOVERY AND REENTRY SERVICES THAT WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PROVIDED SINCE 2018 UNDER THE SAMHSA OFFENDER REENTRY PROGRAM. OUR POPULATION OF FOCUS IS ADULTS (AGE 18+) WHO HAVE A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) OR CO-OCCURRING DISORDER (COD) AND HAVE BEEN RECENTLY RELEASED, OR ARE SOON TO BE RELEASED FROM, A NYC OR NEW YORK STATE (NYS) CORRECTIONAL FACILITY TO ANY OF NYC’S FIVE BOROUGHS. WE WILL ALSO TARGET PARTICIPANTS ON PAROLE OR PROBATION WHO ARE AT RISK OF RE-INCARCERATION. FORTUNE WILL SERVE 40 PARTICIPANTS PER YEAR FOR A TOTAL OF 200 PARTICIPANTS SERVED OVER THE FIVE YEAR GRANT PERIOD. WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE POPULATION WE WILL SERVE WILL CLOSELY MIRROR THAT OF THE PARTICIPANTS WE HAVE SERVED AS AN ORP CONTRACTOR: PRIMARILY MEN OF COLOR IN NEED OF SUD TREATMENT, MANY OF WHOM HAVE CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS. IN THE FIRST FOUR YEARS OF OUR CURRENT CONTRACT (2018-2023), 99% OF PARTICIPANTS SERVED WERE MALE, 74% WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR (PRIMARILY BLACK AND LATINO), AND THE AVERAGE PARTICIPANT AGE WAS 39. ENGLISH IS THE PRIMARY LANGUAGE FOR MOST PARTICIPANTS, AND WE HAVE BILINGUAL STAFF TO ACCOMMODATE A SMALL NUMBER OF SPANISH SPEAKERS. IN TERMS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, MOST PARTICIPANTS SERVED TO DATE ARE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL; UPON INTAKE, 90% WERE UNEMPLOYED AND 67% WERE RESIDING IN A SHELTER/INSTITUTIONAL SETTING. KEY PARTNERS IN THE INITIATIVE WILL INCLUDE THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION (DOC) AND THE NYS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION (DOCCS), WHICH WILL ENABLE FORTUNE TO SERVE BOTH CITY AND STATE SENTENCED ADULTS. WE WILL FURTHER LEVERAGE EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE DOCCS HEALTH SERVICES DISCHARGE PLANNING UNIT (DPU); DOCCS OFFENDER REENTRY COUNSELORS (ORCS); THE DOCCS PAROLE REENTRY TEAM; AND THE COUNTY REENTRY TASK FORCES (CRTFS) IN NYC, TWO OF WHICH (BRONX AND QUEENS COUNTY) WE WILL USE EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS, INCLUDING MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING (MI), THINKING FOR A CHANGE (T4C), SEEKING SAFETY, ANGER MANAGEMENT, AND RELAPSE PREVENTION. OUR PROGRAM’S PRIMARY GOALS ARE: (1) COORDINATE WITH DOC/DOCCS DISCHARGE PLANNING, PAROLE, AND PROBATION TO EFFECTIVELY PLAN FOR THE TRANSITION OF INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF SUD TREATMENT AND RELATED RECOVERY AND REENTRY SERVICES FROM THE CORRECTIONAL TO THE COMMUNITY SETTING AND HELP PARTICIPANTS ON PAROLE/PROBATION WHO ARE AT RISK OF RE-INCARCERATION RECEIVE SUD TREATMENT AND RELATED SUPPORTS TO AVOID RETURNING TO JAIL/PRISON; (2) CONNECT AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO SUPPORTIVE REENTRY SERVICES—AT FORTUNE AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED PARTNERS—THAT WILL ASSIST WITH THEIR REENTRY AND RECOVERY NEEDS, INCLUDING HEALTHCARE, BENEFITS ACCESS, HOUSING, OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT, OUTPATIENT SUD TREATMENT, AND MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) SERVICES; AND (3) UTILIZE BEST PRACTICES IN DATA COLLECTION/PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT. ADDITIONAL OUTCOMES INCLUDE: ENSURE THAT 100% OF THOSE ENROLLED IN THE AR PROGRAM HAVE AN INITIAL GPRA INTERVIEW, AND 80% COMPLETE A SIX-MONTH FOLLOW-UP GPRA; MAKE SCREENING SERVICES FOR OUR HOUSING PORTFOLIO AVAILABLE TO 100% OF AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS IN NEED OF HOUSING; AT POINT OF DISCHARGE, CONNECT 100% OF AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THEIR SUD TREATMENT PROGRAM AND ARE SEEKING WORK TO FORTUNE’S EMPLOYMENT SERVICES PROGRAM, WHICH WILL PROVIDE IN-KIND SERVICES FOR ALL ELIGIBLE/INTERESTED PARTICIPANTS; REFER 100% OF AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS FOR WHOM SUCH REFERRAL IS APPROPRIATE AND DESIRED TO FORTUNE’S IN-HOUSE EDUCATION PROGRAM TO RECEIVE SERVICES (IN-KIND) INCLUDING TUTORING, TEST PREPARATION, AND MENTORING; SCREEN 100% OF AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WHO REPORT CHRONIC PHYSICAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS, AND/OR SUD FOR ENROLLMENT INTO FORTUNE’S CARE MANAGEMENT UNIT, AND, IF NEEDED, CONNECT THEM TO AN APPROPRIATE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND/OR FQHC.

HEAD-WORN LOW INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (LIFU) DEVICE FOR ENHANCING SLEEP IN SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) - PROJECT SUMMARY WHILE THE ADDICTION EPIDEMIC WITHIN THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO GROW, OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE AND TREAT ADDICTION AS A COMPLEX, MULTIFACETED DISEASE REMAINS LIMITED. INDIVIDUALS WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD), INCLUDING OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD), ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO RELAPSE NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE ACUTE AND SEVERE ONSET OF WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS, BUT ALSO CHRONIC SYMPTOMS WHICH CAN PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE INDIVIDUALS’ LIFETIME. INSOMNIA AND SLEEP DYSFUNCTION REPRESENT THE MOST SEVERE AND PERVASIVE SYMPTOMS OF BOTH PHASES OF WITHDRAWAL AND PERSIST DESPITE TREATMENT. SLEEP DYSFUNCTION EXPERIENCED BY INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD IS EXCEPTIONALLY ANXIETY-PROVOKING AND LIFE-DISRUPTING AND IS FREQUENTLY A CAUSATIVE FACTOR IN A PATIENT’S RELAPSE. SLEEP DYSFUNCTION IN OUD IS CHARACTERIZED BY NOT ONLY A DEFICIENCY IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SLEEP, BUT ALSO A MARKED DISRUPTION OF SLEEP ARCHITECTURE, WITH SIGNIFICANT SLOW WAVE SLEEP (SWS) LOSS AND FRAGMENTATION. IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE WITHDRAWAL, SLEEP MAY CONSIST ALMOST ENTIRELY OF BRIEF PERIODS OF RAPID EYE MOVEMENT (REM), WITH LITTLE SWS SLEEP, INTERRUPTED BY NUMEROUS AWAKENINGS. REMEDYING INSUFFICIENT SLEEP QUALITY IN OUD WOULD LIKELY INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF RECOVERY BY PREVENTING RELAPSE. UNFORTUNATELY, COMMONLY PRESCRIBED SLEEP MEDICATIONS HAVE SEDATIVE AND HYPNOTIC EFFECTS WITH A RISK OF DEPENDENCY TOO GREAT FOR PATIENTS WITH OUD. NEW NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS TO AUGMENT SLEEP ARE CURRENTLY A CRITICAL UNMET MEDICAL NEED. LOW INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (LIFU) HAS RECENTLY EMERGED AS A POTENT TOOL FOR NON-INVASIVE STIMULATION OR SUPPRESSION OF INTACT BRAIN CIRCUITS WITH GREAT POTENTIAL FOR TREATING A RANGE OF PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS. ULTRASOUND (US) BEAMS CAN BE FOCUSED ONTO SPECIFIC DEEP REGIONS OF THE BRAIN WITHOUT IMPACTING SURROUNDING TISSUE, SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCING UNDESIRABLE OFF-TARGET EFFECTS PRESENT WITH MEDICATIONS OR ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC STIMULATION. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY USED IN LIFU RESEARCH IS LIMITED TO IN-HOSPITAL USE BECAUSE OF FORMFACTOR AND REQUIRED REAL-TIME, CLINICIAN-GUIDED MRI, AND, THEREFORE, DOES NOT READILY TRANSLATE TO ROUTINE ADDICTION TREATMENT. ATTUNE NEUROSCIENCES WAS FOUNDED TO DEVELOP NOVEL LIFU TECHNOLOGIES CAPABLE OF TRANSLATING RESEARCH FINDINGS INTO A VIABLE, NON-INVASIVE OPTION TO TREAT SLEEP AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS AT HOME. IN THIS PHASE I SBIR, WE WILL RECONFIGURE OUR EXISTING HEAD-WORN LIFU DEVICE TO REDUCE THE FORM-FACTOR OF THE FRONT EEG COMPONENTS BY TRANSITIONING TO A FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT DESIGN AND INTERCHANGEABLE FRONT BAND THAT IS MORE CONFORMAL TO PARTICIPANTS FOREHEADS (AIMS 1 & 2). THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A 7-NIGHT FORM-FACTOR AND USABILITY STUDY WITH SUBJECTS RECRUITED FROM AN OUTPATIENT ADDICTION TREATMENT FACILITY AND WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN RECOVERY (AIM 3). THEIR INPUT WILL BE USED TO INFORM THE FINAL DESIGN OF OUR WEARABLE HEADBAND-STYLE DEVICE THAT CAN ULTIMATELY BE USED TO TREAT MULTIPLE ASPECTS OF ADDICTION SUCH AS DRUG CRAVING AND UNDERLYING SLEEP DISORDERS.

NOVEL IMAGING-BASED PLATFORM FOR CELL QUALITY AND IDENTITY CONTROL - PROJECT SUMMARY CELL-BASED MANUFACTURING AND THERAPIES, INCLUDING THOSE USING HUMAN-INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS (HIPSCS), REQUIRE CAREFUL MAINTENANCE AND TIGHT CONTROL OF THE IDENTITY OF CELLS IN THE CULTURE. THE EXISTING INEXPENSIVE CELL IDENTITY TESTS TYPICALLY RELY ON BULK ANALYSIS THAT DOES NOT REVEAL CELL-TO-CELL VARIABILITY OR THE POTENTIAL PRESENCE OF DISTINCT SUBPOPULATIONS. ON THE OTHER HAND, SINGLE-CELL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES TEND TO BE EXPENSIVE AND COMPLEX AND REQUIRE A LONG TURNAROUND TIME, OFTEN PROHIBITING ROUTINE MONITORING OF CELL IDENTITY. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AN AFFORDABLE PLATFORM FOR RAPID ANALYSIS OF HIPSCS IDENTITY ON A SINGLE-CELL LEVEL. THE PROPOSED PLATFORM IS BASED ON THE TECHNOLOGIES OF MICROSCOPIC IMAGING OF EPIGENETIC LANDSCAPE WITH ADVANCED IMAGE ANALYSIS, PICOWELL ARRAYS, AND FLUIDIC DEVICES THAT HAVE BEEN RECENTLY DEVELOPED BY A TEAM OF INVESTIGATORS. THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL RESULT IN A NEW PLATFORM FOR IMAGING-BASED SINGLE-CELL ANALYSIS OF THE IDENTITY OF HIPCSS WITH A HIGH RESOLUTION, LOWER COST PER SAMPLE, AND A MUCH SHORTER TURNAROUND TIME AS COMPARED WITH THE SOLUTIONS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET. WITH SOME CUSTOMIZATION, THE PROPOSED PLATFORM WILL ALSO BE APPLICABLE TO SINGLE-CELL IDENTITY TESTS OF MANY OTHER TYPES OF CELLS, E.G., BLOOD CELLS, NEURONS, CARDIOMYOCYTES, ETC., FURTHER ENHANCING THE VALUE OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

TRANSCRANIAL ULTRASOUND DEVICE FOR ENHANCING SLEEP IN OUD - SUMMARY THE OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) IS A RAPIDLY EXPANDING HEALTH EPIDEMIC IN THE UNITED STATES WITH LITTLE PROGRESS IN TREATMENT EFFICACY. INSUFFICIENT SLEEP REPRESENTS THE MOST SEVERE AND PERVASIVE SYMPTOMS OF BOTH PHASES OF WITHDRAWAL AND PERSIST DESPITE TREATMENT. BECAUSE SLEEP LOSS PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN ANXIETY AND DAILY ROUTINE, ITS DISRUPTION IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN A PATIENT’S RELAPSE EVIDENCED BY THE HIGHER INCIDENCE OF RELAPSE IN OUD PATIENTS WITH SLEEP DISORDERS. SLEEP DYSFUNCTION IN OUD IS CHARACTERIZED BY SIGNIFICANT LOSS IN SLOW WAVE SLEEP (SWS), WHICH ARE CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF THE BENEFITS OF SLEEP. IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE WITHDRAWAL, SLEEP MAY CONSIST ALMOST ENTIRELY OF BRIEF PERIODS OF RAPID EYE MOVEMENT (REM) WITH SPARSE NON-REM (NREM) SLEEP INTERRUPTED BY NUMEROUS AWAKENINGS. GIVEN THE PREVALENCE OF POOR SLEEP QUALITY IN OUD AND THE ASSOCIATION WITH RELAPSE, TREATMENTS ENHANCING THE RESTFUL EFFECTS OF SLEEP COULD REDUCE THE RATE OF RELAPSE. HOWEVER, COMMONLY PRESCRIBED SLEEP MEDICATIONS HAVE SEDATIVE AND HYPNOTIC EFFECTS WITH A RISK OF DEPENDENCY TOO GREAT FOR PATIENTS WITH OUD. THUS, NEW INTERVENTIONS TO AUGMENT SLEEP ARE A CRITICAL UNMET MEDICAL NEED WHICH COULD HAVE AN OUTSIZED INFLUENCE ON THEIR LIFE. HERE, WE BUILD OFF OF RESEARCH IN HUMANS AND ANIMAL MODELS DEMONSTRATING THAT FOCUSED ULTRASOUND CAN STIMULATE BRAIN REGIONS UNDERLYING SWS. WE WILL DESIGN A WEARABLE DEVICE INTEGRATING SLEEP RECORDINGS AND STEERABLE ULTRASOUND ARRAYS. ULTRASOUND ARRAYS WILL TARGET THE THALAMUS, A CORE SWS STRUCTURE, USING MRI MAPS OF PATIENT’S BRAINS AND SKULLS.

DEVELOPING A THERAPEUTIC, MUSIC-BASED MOBILE APPLICATION TO COMBAT NEUROPSYCHIATRIC SYMPTOMS IN PEOPLE LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS - PROJECT SUMMARY MORE THAN 6 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (ADRD). MUSIC-BASED INTERVENTIONS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO DECREASE COMMON ADRD BEHAVIORS (AGITATION, DEPRESSION) THROUGH MELODY AND TEMPO TO MODULATE PARASYMPATHETIC NERVE ACTIVITY, WHICH LEADS TO CHANGES IN HEART RATE, MUSIC-INDUCED RELAXATION/MOVEMENT, AND ENHANCED MOOD REGULATION. SINCE MANY MUSIC INTERVENTIONS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS, FAMILY CAREGIVERS OFTEN LACK RESOURCES AND HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO DIGITAL-BASED APPLICATIONS TO DELIVER AN INTERVENTION WHILE PROVIDING INFORMAL CARE FOR THEIR LOVED ONES AT HOME. IN THIS PROPOSAL, WE WILL DEVELOP, A MOBILE APPLICATION, “TUNE DEN,” CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE USE BY PEOPLE WITH ADRD SUPPORTED BY THEIR FAMILY CAREGIVERS. TUNE DEN'S UNIQUE DESIGN TAILORED FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH ADRD AND THEIR FAMILY CAREGIVERS IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT FOR THE USERS AND TO REDUCE NEUROPSYCHIATRIC SYMPTOMS AND CHANGE ACTIVITY LEVELS. THEREFORE, THE OVERALL IMPACT OF THIS APP COULD PREVENT OR DELAY PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS. THE PROPOSED AIMS DESCRIBE OUR DEVELOPMENT OF APP: (1) TUNE DEN WILL BE CREATED TO RESPOND TO CHANGES IN HEART RATE AND SEDENTARY BEHAVIORS IN A WEARABLE DEVICE BASED ON MOVEMENTS OF PEOPLE WITH ADRD. DEPENDING ON THE ASSESSMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL’S PREFERRED SONGS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNAL RESPONSE TO THOSE SONGS, THE APP WILL LEARN PARTICIPANTS’ RESPONSES AND BEGIN TO AUTO-PLAY PLAYLISTS, TITRATING THE MUSIC DOSE BASED ON PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS. THE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE WILL BE PERSONALIZED TO EITHER POSITIVELY STIMULATE OR SOOTHE AND RELAX. (2) WE WILL TEST THE USABILITY OF THE APP. WE WILL RECRUIT AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF SOCIAL WORKERS AND MUSIC THERAPISTS TO TEST THE APP FOR TWO WEEKS. THE STAKEHOLDERS WILL REPORT FEATURE FUNCTIONALITY USING THE USEFULNESS, SATISFACTION AND EASE OF USE QUESTIONNAIRE. FOCUS GROUPS WILL BE HELD TO EXPAND STAKEHOLDER’S PERCEPTION ON THE ACCEPTABILITY OF THE APP. (3) WE WILL DETERMINE THE PERFORMANCE AND USABILITY OF THE APP FOR USE BY PEOPLE WITH ADRD AND THEIR FAMILY CAREGIVERS PROVIDING CARE AT HOME. THIRTY DYADS WILL BE RECRUITED TO TEST TUNE DEN FOR TWO WEEKS. FOLLOWING THE TESTING PERIOD, FAMILY CAREGIVERS WILL COMPLETE THE USE SURVEY AND RATE KEY FEATURES LIKE AUTO PLAY AND MUSIC DOSE. OUR STUDY TEAM HAS EXPERTISE IN MUSIC THERAPY, AGING AND NEURO- REHABILITATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, AND OLDER ADULTS LIVING WITH DEMENTIA AND FAMILY CAREGIVING. THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF PHASE I WILL LEAD TO A PHASE II STUDY TO DETERMINE THE CLINICAL EFFICACY OF TUNE DEN IN WHICH WE WILL PERFORM A RIGOROUS TRIAL.

SBIR PHASE I: FULLY BIO-BASED HIGH-PERFORMANCE BIOMIMETIC MATERIAL FOR SUSTAINABLE FABRIC -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A SUSTAINABLE, SCALABLE, AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE ALTERNATIVE TO NATURAL LEATHER FABRIC. LEATHER IS ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY USED FABRIC MATERIALS IN THE WORLD, WITH OVER TWO BILLION SQUARE YARDS PRODUCED THROUGH ANIMAL AGRICULTURE EVERY YEAR. THE PRODUCTION OF ANIMAL-DERIVED LEATHER EMITS GREENHOUSE GASES AND POLLUTION FROM THE TOXIC CHEMICALS USED TO PROCESS, TAN, AND DYE ANIMAL HIDES. CURRENT SYNTHETIC ALTERNATIVES ARE MADE OF NON-RENEWABLE POLYMERS SUCH AS POLYURETHANE AND POLYVINYL CHLORIDE, CONTRIBUTING TO PETROCHEMICAL CONSUMPTION AND PLASTIC POLLUTION. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO DEVELOP AN ALTERNATIVE LEATHER MATERIAL THAT IS 100% BIO-BASED AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, AND THAT MEETS INDUSTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR MECHANICAL, PHYSICAL, AND AESTHETIC PROPERTIES. BY ENGINEERING COMPOSITE MATERIALS WITH SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY, THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF LEATHER-UTILIZING INDUSTRIES SUCH AS FASHION APPAREL, FOOTWEAR, FURNITURE, AND AUTOMOTIVES. THIS SBIR PHASE I PROJECT PROPOSES TO USE A BIOMIMETIC APPROACH TO DEVELOPING HIGH-PERFORMANCE MATERIALS THAT REPLICATE THE COLLAGEN MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF NATURAL LEATHER. CURRENT SYNTHETIC ALTERNATIVES CONTAIN PETROLEUM-DERIVED BINDING OR COATING AGENTS. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO MEET OBJECTIVES TO 1) DEVELOP NOVEL COMPOSITIONAL AND PROCESSING METHODS TO PRODUCE 100% BIO-BASED CROSSLINKED MATERIALS, 2) SYSTEMATICALLY CHARACTERIZE THE MECHANICAL, PHYSICAL, AND SURFACE PROPERTIES TO EVALUATE PERFORMANCE FEATURES, AND 3) DEMONSTRATE REPRODUCIBILITY AND TUNABILITY IN ALIGNMENT WITH INDUSTRY METRICS. THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY LEVERAGES INNOVATION IN CHEMICAL CROSSLINKING TO PRODUCE HIGH-STRENGTH, ULTRA-DURABLE, SOFT-TO-THE-TOUCH MATERIALS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUSTAINABLE FABRICS. 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.

SBIR PHASE I: A UNIVERSAL CONNECTOR FOR HIGH-DENSITY MICROFLUIDIC CHIP INTERFACES -THE BROADER IMPACT OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT IS TO ADVANCE THE LAB-ON-A-CHIP AND OTHER RELATED LIFE SCIENCE PLATFORMS BY THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW STANDARDIZED MICROFLUIDIC CHIP INTERFACE. THE PROPOSED PROJECT ADVANCES A NOVEL INTERFACE TO ADVANCE THE APPLICATIONS AND CAPABILITIES OF MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS IN BOTH MEDICAL AND NON-MEDICAL FIELDS, INCLUDING DRAMATICALLY INCREASING THE RATE AT WHICH DOCTORS AND MEDICAL RESEARCHERS CAN PREPARE AND PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. THE INTERFACE ENABLES EASY INTEROPERABILITY OF DEVICES AS THE CHIPS CAN BE FREELY SWITCHED OUT WHILE THE RESULT OF THE HARDWARE REMAINS THE SAME. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT COULD LEAD TO GREAT BREAKTHROUGHS IN BIOENERGY, MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS, AND DRUG THERAPEUTICS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT UNDERTAKES THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHIP INTERFACES WITH REDUCED SIZE AND INCREASED CHANNEL DENSITY BY MAKING USE OF NOVEL INTERFACING AND SEALING METHODS, ON A REUSABLE MICRO-PATTERNED SURFACE. WHILE THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS TO FABRICATE MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS WITH MUCH SMALLER DIMENSIONS, WITH MORE COMPLEX ON-CHIP OPERATIONS, AND AT A REDUCED COST, THE CURRENT LIMITATION IS THE SIZE OF THE INTERFACES BRIDGING THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD OF THE FLUID MICROCHIP WITH THE MACROSCOPIC WORLD OF THE LABORATORY. THE WORK PROPOSED HEREIN COULD ENABLE CHIPS WITH 16X THE DENSITY OF SAMPLE CHANNELS, ALLOWING FOR VASTLY MORE COMPLEX DIAGNOSTICS TO BE PERFORMED AND THEREBY VASTLY REDUCING THE SAMPLE VOLUME NEEDED FOR ACCURATE DIAGNOSTICS. 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.

SBIR PHASE I: WIRELESS-WIRELINE CONVERGENCE -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS PHASE I PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY FOR EVERYONE BY ENABLING WIDESPREAD 5G CELLULAR PHONE COVERAGE AT SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER COSTS AND SUBSTANTIAL ENERGY SAVINGS. THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY MAY RESULT IN ACCELERATED 5G DEPLOYMENT AND UBIQUITOUS 5G AVAILABILITY IN BOTH URBAN AND RURAL AREAS. THIS COVERAGE WILL HAVE POSITIVE IMPACTS, BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE ACROSS DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS OF THE US AND ACROSS DIFFERENT SOCIOECONOMIC GROUPS, BY BRINGING NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR TELEWORK, TELE-EDUCATION, TELEHEALTH, AND TELEMEDICINE TO TRADITIONALLY UN- AND UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITIES. THE TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION OF THIS PROJECT MAY ALLOW MID-BAND AND HIGH-BAND CELLULAR SIGNALS TO BE CARRIED OVER EXISTING TWISTED-PAIR COPPER WIRES, AS WELL AS COAXIAL CABLES, OPTICAL FIBERS, AND ETHERNET WIRES, TO ENABLE THE DELIVERY OF 5G-BASED SERVICES ACROSS BARRIERS THAT SIGNALS DELIVERED OVER THE AIR FROM A TOWER CANNOT PENETRATE. THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED IN THIS PROJECT WILL REUSE THE EXISTING WIRELINE INFRASTRUCTURE AND REDUCE THE NEED FOR DEPLOYMENT OF MORE CELLULAR TOWERS, PROVIDING A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY SOLUTION. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE A LOW-COST SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF EXTENDING 5G CELLULAR COVERAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF HOMES AND BUILDINGS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT SEEKS TO ADDRESS CRITICAL TECHNICAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE OVERALL FEASIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL OF THE CELLULAR SUBSCRIBER LINE (CSL) TECHNOLOGY, AS WELL AS THE CORRESPONDING HIGH-LEVEL DEPLOYMENT GUIDELINES. THESE ISSUES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DETAILED SIMULATION PLATFORM, THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF NETWORK-SIDE AND CUSTOMER-SIDE PROTOTYPE UNITS USING EXISTING RADIO-FREQUENCY INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (RFIC) AND FIELD-PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY (FPGA) COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE PROTOCOL FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO UNITS, AND THE VALIDATION OF THE TECHNOLOGY THOUGH TESTING OF THE PROTOTYPE UNITS IN THE LABORATORY OF A MAJOR WIRELESS CARRIER. 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.
