MERIDIAN CCBHC IMPROVEMENT AND ADVANCEMENT PROJECT - BASED ON CCBHC NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND OTHER LOCAL DATA, MERIDIAN CCBHC IMPROVEMENT AND ADVANCEMENT (CCBHC-IA) PROJECT ACTIVITIES WILL ADDRESS DISPARITIES RELATED TO THE HIGH RATE OF HOSPITALIZATIONS AND ER VISITS FOR MENTAL DISORDERS IN THE CATCHMENT AREA. THE FOCUS POPULATION OF THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE ANY INDIVIDUAL WITH A MENTAL OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER WHO SEEKS CARE, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS (SMI); SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD), INCLUDING OPIOID USE DISORDER; CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH SERIOUS EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE (SED); INDIVIDUALS WITH CO-OCCURRING MENTAL AND SUBSTANCE DISORDERS (COD); AND INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING A MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE USE-RELATED CRISIS. THE PROJECT WILL TARGET SUBPOPULATIONS/COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISPARITIES RELATED TO HIGH USE OF EMERGENCY ROOMS (ERS) AND HOSPITALIZATIONS FOR MENTAL DISORDERS. THE PROJECT’S PRIMARY CATCHMENT AREA WILL INCLUDE THE 11 COUNTIES IN NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA WHERE MERIDIAN HAS OFFICE LOCATIONS: ALACHUA, BAKER, BRADFORD, COLUMBIA, DIXIE, GILCHRIST, HAMILTON, LAFAYETTE, LEVY, SUWANNEE AND UNION. AMONG THESE COUNTIES, ONLY ONE IS A U.S. CENSUS DESIGNATED URBAN COUNTY (ALACHUA), AND THE REMAINING TEN ARE DESIGNATED RURAL. THE CCBHC-IA PROJECT WILL ADDRESS AREA GAPS IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO INCLUDE INCREASED MOBILE CRISIS TEAMS (MRTS), WHICH SERVE AS AN IMPORTANT GATEWAY TO TREATMENT. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO IMPROVE HOSPITAL BRIDGE SERVICES TO TRANSITION INDIVIDUALS FROM THE ER/HOSPITAL TO CCBHC TREATMENT, AS WELL AS CULTURALLY COMPETENT, COMMUNITY-BASED BEHAVIORAL TEAMS TO FOLLOW-UP AFTER MRT CONTACT AND TO INCREASE ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION IN ONGOING OUTPATIENT TREATMENT. OTHER EXPANDED SERVICES, SUCH AS PEER SUPPORT AND BENEFITS ASSISTANCE, WILL FURTHER PROMOTE ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION IN SERVICES. PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: GOAL 1: REDUCE USE OF ACUTE CRISIS SERVICES AND DECREASE HOSPITALIZATIONS FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISORDERS BY CONSUMERS IN THE CATCHMENT AREA. OBJECTIVES: 1) INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PERSONS TRANSITIONING TO CCBHC TREATMENT FROM ER/HOSPITAL DISCHARGE REFERRALS BY 10% EACH YEAR OF THE PROJECT THROUGH IMPROVED HOSPITAL BRIDGE SERVICES, PEER FOLLOW-UP, AND RELATED SERVICES. 2) REDUCE ADMISSIONS INTO MERIDIAN’S ACUTE, INPATIENT CRISIS CARE BY 10% BY YEAR 2 AND 10% EACH SUBSEQUENT YEAR. GOAL 2: INCREASE ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION OF CONSUMERS IN CCBHC TREATMENT AND RELATED SERVICES WITH EMPHASIS ON THOSE IDENTIFIED BY NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS BEING DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISPARITIES. OBJECTIVES: 1) INCREASE ENROLLMENT OF CONSUMERS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES IN MEDICAID, MEDICARE AND OTHER BENEFITS BY 20% IN YEAR 1 AND 25% IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS OF THE PROJECT PERIOD THROUGH EXPANDED CAPACITY TO DELIVER SOAR AND OTHER PERSON-CENTERED BENEFITS ASSISTANCE. 2) INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BLACK CONSUMERS SERVED IN CCBHC TREATMENT AND RELATED SERVICES BY 10% EACH YEAR OF THE PROJECT PERIOD THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES WITHIN TARGETED ALACHUA COUNTY ZIP CODE AREAS OF NEED. 3) INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RURAL CONSUMERS SERVED IN CCBHC TREATMENT AND RELATED SERVICES BY 10% EACH YEAR OF THE PROJECT PERIOD THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES WITHIN TARGETED COUNTIES. THE PROJECT WILL SERVE 500 PERSONS IN YEAR 1 AND 700 ANNUALLY EACH SUBSEQUENT YEAR FOR A TOTAL OF 2,600 SERVED OVER THE ENTIRE PROJECT PERIOD.

MERIDIAN CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC - THE MERIDIAN CERTIFIED COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC(CCBHC)EXPANSION WILL PROVIDE INTEGRATED, COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS (SMI) OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUD), CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH SERIOUS EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE (SED), AND INDIVIDUALS WITH CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS (COD). MERIDIAN’S PRIORITY IS TO PROVIDE CONSISTENT ACCESS TO A FULL CONTINUUM OF SERVICES FOR ALL PERSONS SEEKING CARE, INCLUDING THE LARGE POPULATION OF PERSONS WE SERVE WHOSE CARE IS UNCOMPENSATED. THE CCBHC’S CORE CATCHMENT AREA WILL INCLUDE THE 11 COUNTIES IN NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA WHERE MERIDIAN HAS OFFICE LOCATIONS: ALACHUA, BAKER, BRADFORD, COLUMBIA, DIXIE, GILCHRIST, HAMILTON, LAFAYETTE, LEVY, SUWANNEE AND UNION. AS A NO WRONG DOOR PROVIDER, HOWEVER, MERIDIAN NOT DENY SERVICES BASED ON PLACE OF RESIDENCE, TYPE OF DIAGNOSIS, OR ABILITY TO PAY. FOR PERSONS WITH SERIOUS DISORDERS, TIMELY ACCESS TO SERVICES CAN BE IMPACTED BY THE COMPLEX SOCIOECONOMIC, TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER GEOGRAPHIC BARRIERS PREVALENT IN THE EXTENSIVELY RURAL CATCHMENT AREA. THESE INCLUDE SERVICES DESIGNED TO MITIGATE BARRIERS, SUCH AS TELEHEALTH, INTEGRATED PRIMARY CARE, AND PEER SUPPORTS, THE SAME SERVICES THAT CAN OFTEN FACE REDUCTIONS IN LIGHT OF HIGH INDIGENT CARE. WITHOUT ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE, COORDINATED CARE, PERSONS WITH SERIOUS DISORDERS CAN BECOME HIGH UTILIZERS OF ACUTE CRISIS SERVICES, RESULTING IN POORER LONG-TERM RECOVERY OUTCOMES FOR THEM AND FURTHER INCREASES IN COSTS FOR OUR ORGANIZATION, REGION AND STATE. KEY GOALS OF CCBHC CERTIFICATION ARE AN INCREASED CAPACITY AND STRUCTURE FOR CONSISTENT DELIVERY OF COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES ACROSS ALL POPULATIONS AND COMMUNITIES AND IMPROVED LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY BY INCREASING SERVICE VALUE FOR STAKEHOLDERS. MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO PERSONS WITH SMI/SED; REDUCING ADMISSIONS INTO ACUTE, INPATIENT CRISIS CARE; INCREASING ENROLLMENT OF UNCOMPENSATED CLIENTS IN MEDICAID, MEDICARE AND OTHER BENEFITS; AND INCREASING LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES. LAST YEAR, MERIDIAN PROVIDED SERVICES TO 23,335 PERSONS, INCLUDING 2,939 THROUGH UNCOMPENSATED FUNDS. UNDER SAMHSA CCBHC EXPANSION FUNDING, MERIDIAN WILL INCREASE CAPACITY TO SERVE A PROJECTED 3,800 INDIGENT INDIVIDUALS (I.E., THOSE WITH NO PAYER SOURCES) BY YEAR 1 (A 30% INCREASE) AND A PROJECTED 4,700 BY YEAR 2 FOR A PROJECTED TOTAL OF 8,500 INDIVIDUALS OVER THE PROJECT LIFETIME.

ELEVEN OF THE COUNTIES ARE U.S. CENSUS DESIGNATED RURAL WITH THE REMAINING 3 URBAN-DESIGNATED COUNTIES HAVING SIGNIFICANT RURAL COMMUNITIES. AVAILABLE PROVISIONAL DATA (FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, 2021) FOR THE PROJECT CATCHMENT AREA DURING THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2020 (JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2020) SHOWS A STAGGERING 92% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF NONFATAL OPIOID OVERDOSES (998) WHEN COMPARED TO A FULL YEAR’S DATA IN 2019. UNDER SAMHSA FUNDING, MERIDIAN WILL PLACE PRIMARY FOCUS ON DELIVERING SERVICES TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD WHOSE CARE IS UNCOMPENSATED BY OTHER FUNDING SOURCES OR WHO ARE UNDERINSURED. PREGNANT/POSTPARTUM WOMEN WILL RECEIVE FIRST PRIORITY FOR ADMISSION INTO THE PROGRAM DUE TO THE POTENTIAL HARM TO THE DEVELOPING BABY OR NEWBORN AS A RESULT OF OPIOID WITHDRAWAL. HAVING NO INSURANCE OR BEING UNDERINSURED HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH A 47% LOWER LIKELIHOOD OF RECEIVING MAT (BLANCO, ET AL., 2020). BARRIERS TO MAT SERVICES ARE FURTHER COMPOUNDED FOR INDIVIDUALS IN OUR CATCHMENT AREA'S MANY RURAL COUNTIES AND COMMUNITIES, WHERE LACK OF TRANSPORTATION FOR LOWER INCOME RESIDENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTANCE CAN JEOPARDIZE THE ABILITY TO ADHERE TO MAT REQUIREMENTS. TO MITIGATE THESE BARRIERS, THE MAT-PDOA PROGRAM WILL EXPAND MERIDIAN'S EXISTING MAT SERVICES AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR THE FOCUS POPULATION WITH THE FOLLOWING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: GOAL 1: INCREASE THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD RECEIVING MAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOSOCIAL SERVICES IN THE 13-COUNTY CATCHMENT AREA. OBJECTIVE 1A: INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CATCHMENT AREA SITES OFFERING MAT WITH PSYCHOSOCIAL SERVICES FROM 3 TO 7 TO INCLUDE 2 NEW MAT CLINICS PROVIDING METHADONE, BUPRENORPHINE AND NALTREXONE BY YEAR 1; 1 NEW MEDICATION AND TREATMENT UNIT OFFERING BUPRENORPHINE AND NALTREXONE BY YEAR 1; AND 1 MORE UNIT BY YEAR 3. OBJECTIVE 1B: ADD 6 NEW PROVIDERS RECEIVING DATA 2000 TRAINING, OBTAINING A WAIVER AND PRESCRIBING BUPRENORPHINE OVER THE COURSE OF THE GRANT. OBJECTIVE 1C: INCREASE THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING MAT SERVICES BY 40% OVER THE COURSE OF THE GRANT. GOAL 2: DECREASE ILLICIT OPIOID USE, AND PRESCRIPTION OPIOID MISUSE AMONG THE TARGET POPULATION. OBJECTIVE 2A: 60% OF ADMITTED CLIENTS WILL HAVE BEEN RETAINED IN MAT SERVICES FOR SIX MONTHS. OBJECTIVE 2B: AT 6-MONTH FOLLOW UP, 75% OF CLIENTS RETAINED WILL SHOW A DECREASE IN ILLICIT OPIOID USE/PRESCRIPTION OPIOID MISUSE AND 40% WILL SHOW A DECREASE IN OTHER ILLICIT DRUG USE AND ALCOHOL USE AS INDICATED IN DRUG SCREENS. UNDER SAMHSA FUNDING, THE MAT-PDOA WILL SERVE 100 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS IN YEAR 1, 150 IN YEAR 2, 225 IN YEAR 3, 250 IN YEAR 4, AND 250 IN YEAR 5 FOR A TOTAL OF 975 SERVED OVER THE COURSE OF THE GRANT.

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF STANDARDIZED REFERENCE DIETS FOR ZEBRAFISH RESEARCH - PROJECT SUMMARY THE OVER-ARCHING GOAL OF THIS PHASE II SBIR PROPOSAL IS TO OPTIMIZE AND IMPLEMENT HIGH QUALITY STANDARD REFERENCE DIETS FOR THE ZEBRAFISH (DANIO RERIO), AN ANIMAL MODEL OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF VERTEBRATE ORGANISMS. A KEY PROBLEM IN THE INDUSTRY IS THAT HIGH QUALITY STANDARDIZED REFERENCE DIETS, WITH APPROPRIATE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND ADEQUATE FEED MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES, HAVE NOT BEEN DEVELOPED FOR D. RERIO. OUR SOLUTION FOR THE INDUSTRY, DRIVEN BY A SYNERGISTIC COLLABORATION BETWEEN MERIDIAN BIOTECH AND THE LABORATORY OF DR. STEPHEN WATTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM, IS TO DEVELOP SEVERAL OPEN FORMULATION DIETS FOR LARVAL, JUVENILE AND ADULT ZEBRAFISH, WHICH WILL ACHIEVE A DESIRED LEVEL OF CONTROL AND WHEREBY USE OF THIS MODERN AND EFFECTIVE BIOMEDICAL ANIMAL MODEL IS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED AND MORE STANDARDIZED. THIS COMMERCIAL-ACADEMIC COLLABORATION IS A SIGNIFICANT VALUE ADD TO THIS APPLIED SCIENCE PROGRAM. KEY INGREDIENTS IN THIS FORMULATED DIET WILL INCLUDE PROTEIN PACKAGES THAT CONTAIN DEFINED AND EFFECTIVE SOURCES, INCLUDING A MICROBIAL BASED SINGLE CELL PROTEIN (SCP), AN ENRICHED PROTEIN SOURCE OBTAINED FROM BACTERIAL BIOMASS. DIETS WITH THESE PROTEIN SOURCES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BY MERIDIAN BIOTECH, SEVERAL OF WHICH HAVE IMPROVED SHRIMP AND FISH FARMING FEED TECHNOLOGIES MARKEDLY; THUS, WE WISH TO APPLY THIS TECHNOLOGY TO D. RERIO AND, POTENTIALLY, OTHER RELEVANT ANIMAL MODELS. OUR MUTUAL PHASE II MILESTONES AND SPECIFIC EXPERIMENTAL AIMS ARE MANY ACROSS BOTH YEARS OF THE PROGRAM. SPECIFIC AIMS FOR MILESTONE 1 (YEAR 1 WORK) INCLUDE OPTIMIZING THE PROTEIN CONTENT AND AMINO ACID PROFILE OF OUR MOST PROMISING INGREDIENT AND TESTING IT AGAINST THE EXISTING SCP-FORTIFIED DIET USED IN PILOT PHASE I WORK, COMPARING THE BEST DIET TO THE COMPETITOR DIETS CURRENTLY USED IN ACADEMIC CORES ACROSS THE US BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH ENTERPRISE, AND CHARACTERIZING DEEPLY AT THE PHENOTYPIC AND GENETIC LEVELS THE BENEFITS OF OUR DIET. MILESTONE 1 WILL SEEK TO IDENTIFY AND PROGRESS THE BEST DIET AND DRIVE ITS MARKET PENETRATION, INITIALLY IN ACADEMIA. SPECIFIC AIMS FOR MILESTONE 2 (YEAR 2 WORK) INCLUDE FURTHER OPTIMIZING THE AMINO ACID, FATTY ACID, NEUTRAL FAT, AND ENERGY OF THE SCP INGREDIENT AND SCALING UP MANUFACTURING TO MEET DEMANDS AT MERIDIAN’S NEW US-BASED FACILITIES, SHARING THE BEST DIET FORMULATION WITH ACADEMIC ZEBRAFISH CORES TO DRIVE ADOPTION OF THE DIET, AND CENTRALIZING THE DATA GATHERING FROM THE MANY ACADEMIC CORES FOR USE BY ALL AND THE NIH ORIP. MILESTONE 2 WILL SEEK TO PENETRATE THE ACADEMIC ZEBRAFISH HUSBANDRY MARKETPLACE BY GAINING CORE ADOPTION. IN PARALLEL WITH COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITHIN THE ACADEMIC MARKETPLACE, MERIDIAN AND COMMERCIAL PARTNERS ACROSS BOTH YEARS WILL ALSO PURSUE A MILESTONE 3 WHICH SEEKS TO EXPAND THE TECHNOLOGIES AND PENETRATE THE INDUSTRY FISH AQUACULTURE AND FARMING MARKETPLACE, OTHER PRODUCTION SPECIES, AND POTENTIALLY DEVELOP HUMAN APPLICATIONS.

IND-ENABLING SAFETY AND TOXICITY TESTING OF A SUBCUTANEOUS FORMULATION OF THE PTP1B INHIBITOR MSI-1436, A NOVEL STRATEGY FOR TREATING FATAL CARDIOMYOPATHY IN DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY PATIENTS - PROJECT SUMMARY HEART FAILURE CAUSED BY PROGRESSIVE DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY IS THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF DEATH IN PATIENTS WITH DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY (DMD), A FATAL INHERITED MUSCLE WASTING DISORDER DEFINED BY THE FDA AS AN ORPHAN DISEASE. CARDIOMYOPATHY IS DETECTABLE IN CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 10 YEARS OLD AND IS PRESENT IN MOST PATIENTS BY THEIR LATE TEENS. MOST DMD PATIENTS DIE IN THEIR LATE 20S FROM HEART FAILURE. THERE ARE NO APPROVED MEDICATIONS FOR DMD CARDIOMYOPATHY. LITTLE EFFORT HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO CARDIOMYOPATHY THERAPEUTIC DEVELOPMENT DESPITE IT BEING THE MAIN CAUSE OF DMD PATIENT MORTALITY. THE VAST MAJORITY OF DMD THERAPIES IN DEVELOPMENT FOCUS ON TREATING SKELETAL MUSCLE DEGENERATION. CURRENT STANDARD OF CARDIAC CARE FOR DMD PATIENTS UTILIZES STEROIDS AND OFF-LABEL ANTI-HYPERTENSIVE AND HEART FAILURE DRUGS TO REDUCE HEART INFLAMMATORY DAMAGE, WORKLOAD, AND TISSUE REMODELING. REVIDIA THERAPEUTICS, INC. IS A CARDIAC REGENERATIVE MEDICINE COMPANY DEVELOPING SMALL MOLECULES THAT REACTIVATE ENDOGENOUS CARDIAC REPAIR AND REGENERATIVE PROCESSES. WE ARE ADVANCING A NOVEL SUBCUTANEOUS FORMULATION OF OUR LEAD SMALL MOLECULE MSI-1436 INTO CLINICAL TRIALS AS A TREATMENT FOR DMD CARDIOMYOPATHY. MSI-1436 HAS ALREADY PROVEN HUMAN SAFETY. IT FUNCTIONS BY INHIBITING THE TYROSINE PHOSPHATASE PTP1B VIA A NOVEL ALLOSTERIC MECHANISM. PTP1B NORMALLY INACTIVATES ENDOGENOUS TISSUE REPAIR AND REGENERATION PROCESSES. MSI-1436-INDUCED INHIBITION OF PTP1B REACTIVATES THESE PROCESSES, WHICH IN TURN REVERSES TISSUE DAMAGE. USING BLINDED AND RANDOMIZED EXPERIMENTAL AND DATA ANALYSIS PROTOCOLS, WE HAVE SHOWN THAT MSI-1436 STIMULATES HEART MUSCLE REGENERATION, IMPROVES HEART FUNCTION, AND REDUCES INFARCT SIZE IN WILD TYPE ADULT MICE FOLLOWING MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; IMPROVES LEFT VENTRICLE EJECTION FRACTION IN A MOUSE PRESSURE OVERLOAD DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY MODEL; SLOWS CARDIAC DEGENERATIVE CHANGES IN YOUNG D2.B10- DMDMDX/J DMD MICE; AND IMPROVES LEFT VENTRICLE EJECTION FRACTION IN AGED DMD ANIMALS. DOSES OF MSI-1436 THAT REVERSE CARDIAC INJURY ARE UP TO 50-TIMES LOWER THAN THE MAXIMUM WELL TOLERATED HUMAN DOSE. REVIDIA HAS COMPLETED MULTIPLE IND-ENABLING WORKSTREAMS INCLUDING 1) FDA PRE-IND MEETINGS, 2) EFFICACY TESTING IN MULTIPLE ANIMAL MODELS, 3) IN VITRO SAFETY PHARMACOLOGY, 4) ADME STUDIES, 5) DOSE-RANGE FINDING, 6) CMC DEVELOPMENT AND 7) GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) MANUFACTURING. THE FINAL IND-ENABLING WORKSTREAM THAT MUST BE COMPLETED IS FDA-REQUIRED GLP-COMPLIANT SAFETY AND TOXICITY TESTING OF SUBCUTANEOUSLY ADMINISTERED MSI-1436. PROPOSED STUDIES WILL VALIDATE SUBCUTANEOUS MSI-1436 DOSE FORMULATIONS AND BIOANALYTICAL METHODS AND PERFORM REPEAT DOSE TOXICOLOGY AND GENOTOXICITY TESTING AND CNS, RESPIRATORY AND CARDIOVASCULAR SAFETY PHARMACOLOGY TESTING. COMPLETION OF THESE STUDIES WILL ALLOW IND APPLICATION SUBMISSION IN EARLY 2025 AND INITIATION OF CLINICAL TRIALS LATER THAT YEAR. TREATMENT OF DMD CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH MSI-1436 HAS SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE PATIENT QUALITY OF LIFE AND PROLONG LIFESPAN.

THIS NEW INSTRUMENT IS ENABLED BY A LARGE FORMAT SENSOR ARRAY THAT USES A LOW-COST MANUFACTURING PROCESS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED IN A HIGH-VOLUME FOUNDRY. IN ADDITION TO THE MEDICAL APPLICATION, SIMILAR IMAGING SYSTEMS CAN BE USED IN SECURITY SCREENING APPLICATIONS ($2 BILLION MARKET/YEAR) SUCH AS PASSENGER SCREENING AT AIRPORTS. MORE BROADLY, THE UNDERLYING SENSOR TECHNOLOGY CAN BE ADAPTED FOR USE ACROSS THE EXTREMELY WIDE THZ SPECTRUM, WHICH HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR MANY INDUSTRIES. THE INTELLECTUAL MERIT OF THIS PROJECT IS PRIMARILY ITS INTEGRATION OF BOTH HIGH RESOLUTION AND HIGH-SPEED ASPECTS OF THZ IMAGING, AS THESE CAPABILITIES HAVE NOT YET BEEN DEMONSTRATED IN A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE FORM. PREVIOUS DEMONSTRATIONS HAVE EITHER INVOLVED SLOW SCANNING SYSTEMS THAT PRECLUDE REAL TIME APPLICATIONS OR CAMERAS THAT TARGET MUCH HIGHER BANDS OF THE THZ SPECTRUM. THE LATTER RESTRICTION STEMS FROM AN INABILITY TO MANUFACTURE ARRAYS OF LARGE PIXELS TO IMAGE AT THE LONGER THZ WAVELENGTHS. GOING BEYOND ONE OF A KIND LABORATORY PROOF OF CONCEPT EXPERIMENTS, THE THZ CAMERA SEEKS TO PROVIDE RESOLUTION AND FRAME UPDATE RATES THAT ARE RELEVANT TO ACTUAL APPLICATIONS. THE COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING VIABILITY OF THE SENSING ELEMENT MAY ENSURE THAT APPLICATIONS BEYOND THE INITIAL MEDICAL MARKET WILL BE PRACTICAL. THE CAMERA WILL FEATURE NOT ONLY THE HIGH-RESOLUTION THZ IMAGING NEAR THE 250-350 GHZ SPECTRUM BUT ALSO INCORPORATE HIGH-RESOLUTION VISIBLE AND NEAR-INFRARED CAMERAS THAT CAN COMPLEMENT THE THZ VIDEO, WITH TRIALS BEING PLANNED FOR HOSPITAL USAGE. IN ADDITION TO CLINICAL USAGE SCENARIOS, THE IMAGING SYSTEM CAN BE ADAPTED FOR USE IN AIRPORT SECURITY AND OTHER SCREENING APPLICATIONS, AS PORTABILITY AND EASE OF USE WILL GUIDE THE DEMONSTRATION SYSTEM DESIGN. 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.
