THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS (AICHE) WILL LEAD A CONSORTIUM THAT INCLUDES INDUSTRY LEADING FUEL CELL/ELECTROLYZER/CATALYST/IONOMER/ANALYSIS INDUSTRY PARTNERS, NATIONAL LABORATORIES, AND UNIVERSITIES. THE EFFORT WILL DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY RELEVANT TO CIRCULAR RECYCLING FOR THE H2 ECONOMY (H2CIRC) TO ADDRESS END-OF-LIFE (EOL) AND CRITICAL SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES FOR LOW TEMPERATURE PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE (PEM) FUEL CELLS AND ELECTROLYZERS (FC/EL) WITH THE GOAL OF SUSTAINABLY RECOVERING AND RECYCLING CATALYSTS, MEMBRANES, IONOMERS, CARBON, AND OTHER COMPONENTS AS DEPICTED IN FIGURE A.1, WITH THE RECOVERY GOALS LISTED IN TABLE A.1. THE RECOVERY OF THESE MATERIALS IS CRITICAL, AND IT MUST BE PERFORMED IN A MANNER THAT LIMITS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (GHG) AND OTHER HARMFUL POLLUTANTS, OTHERWISE THE BENEFITS OF THE H2 ECONOMY WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DEVELOPING THE TECHNOLOGY CRITICAL FOR PEM FC/EL RECYCLABILITY, THE CONSORTIUM WILL INTEGRATE KEY OVERARCHING EFFORTS IN DIVERSITY/INCLUSION, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT/TRAINING, TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS (TEA), AND LIFE-CYCLE ANALYSIS (LCA), AS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE OUTER RING OF FIGURE A.1. H2CIRC BRINGS TOGETHER A STRONG TEAM OF EXPERTS FROM INDUSTRY, NATIONAL LABS, AND ACADEMIA WITH DEEP TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE IN LOW-TEMPERATURE PEM FC/ELS. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 16 MEMBERS, INCLUDING 8 INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS, 4 UNIVERSITIES, 3 NATIONAL LABS, AND ONE NON-PROFIT. THE BREADTH AND EXPERTISE OF THESE PARTNERS ENABLES MEMBERSHIP TO SPAN THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN OF PEM FC/ELS, BUSINESS SIZE (INCLUDING SMALL/MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES, SMES), AND GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS. THE COLLABORATIVE STRENGTHS OF THE TEAM AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CRITICAL MATERIAL NEEDS/QUALITIES WILL ALLOW THE H2CIRC CONSORTIUM TO DRIVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CIRCULAR RECYCLING TO ADDRESS EOL AND SUPPLY CHALLENGES WITH THE GOAL TO SUSTAINABLY RECOVER AND RECYCLE CATALYSTS, IONOMERS, AND OTHER COMPONENTS FOR SECOND USE OR REMANUFACTURE. ADDITIONALLY, COMMUNITY OUTREACH IS IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM AS IT WILL HELP TO ATTRACT AND DEVELOP/EDUCATE A WORKFORCE AND INFORM THE PUBLIC AS TO ITS IMPORTANCE. THE CONSORTIUM RECOVERY AND REUSE GOALS FOR EACH MEA COMPONENT ARE 95% FOR IR, 99% FOR PT, 75% FOR THE IONOMER, AND 70% FOR CARBON. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS THE CONSORTIUM WILL PURSUE FOUR INDEPENDENT MEA RECYCLE PATHWAYS THAT WILL MINIMIZE RISK, DEVELOP ROBUST RECYCLING OPTIONS, AND ALLOW THE MEMBERS TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN IP. CRITICALLY, THE RECYCLING PATHWAYS AIM TO DEVELOP A PROCESS THAT MAINTAINS THE HIGH LEVELS OF RECOVERY OF THE METALS, BUT ALSO ALLOWS THE IONOMER TO BE RECYCLED/RE-USED WITH CARBON RECOVERY GOALS BEING TERTIARY. TO BE INDUSTRIALLY RELEVANT, THE METHODS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE RECYCLE STREAM MUST BE SCALABLE SUCH THAT THE SPEED OF RECYCLING CAN OCCUR AT RATES COMMENSURATE WITH MANUFACTURING. TO ACHIEVE THIS RATE, IT IS NECESSARY TO ALSO DEVELOP A DISASSEMBLY PROCESS THAT IS EXPEDIENT, AND CONSEQUENTLY, A ROBOTIC/AUTOMATED DISASSEMBLY APPROACH WILL BE PURSUED THAT WILL BE BROADLY USEFUL ACROSS INDUSTRY. FINALLY, THE CONSORTIUM AIMS TO MINIMIZE GHG EMISSIONS BY INVESTIGATING GREEN PATHWAYS, AND THUS TEA AND LCA WILL BE DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT. THIS EFFORT IS NOT AN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT.

NATIONAL URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE (US&R) RESPONSE SYSTEM

TO ENABLE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE CIVIL SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT (SST) AIRCRAFT INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS MUST BE DEVELOPED TO MEET NOISE AND EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR OVERLAND FLIGHT. THIS EFFORT EMPLOYS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL EXPERTS TO EXPLORE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE POTENTIAL OF SMALL REAL-TIME GEOMETRIC OUTER MOLD LINE (OML) RECONFIGURATIONS TO MINIMIZE BOOM SIGNATURES AND DRAG IN RESPONSE TO CHANGING AMBIENT CONDITIONS. THIS WILL ENABLE NOISE-COMPLIANT SST FLIGHT FROM TAKEOFF TO LANDING. OUR TEAM EXPLOITS ADVANCES IN LOW-VOLUME ENERGY-DENSE SOLID-STATE SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY (SMA) ACTUATORS THE MODELING THEREOF PROVEN SUPERSONIC COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC METHODS AND SONIC BOOM PROPAGATION TOOLS TO CONSIDER EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS FOR IN SITU ADJUSTMENT OF AN SST AIRCRAFT FOR AN OPTIMAL LOW BOOM SIGNATURE AND LOW DRAG IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS. PREVIOUS RESEARCH EFFORTS HAVE SHOWN THAT SMALL DISTRIBUTED CHANGES IN SST OML CAN SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE PERCEIVED SONIC BOOM NOISE WITHOUT NEGATIVELY AFFECTING AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE. HOWEVER SIGNATURES OPTIMIZED THROUGH OML SHAPING AT A SINGLE FLIGHT CONDITION DEGRADE RAPIDLY WITH SLIGHT CHANGES IN FLIGHT CONDITION. ANGLE OF ATTACK ALTITUDE AIR DENSITY AND SPEED ARE KNOWN TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT BOOM SIGNATURE AND SST FLIGHT PERFORMANCE ENDANGERING TRUE COMMERCIAL VIABILITY OF OVERLAND SUPERSONIC FLIGHT. TO BE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE A SST MUST ROBUSTLY MEET BOOM SIGNATURE LIMITS FOR A RANGE OF FLIGHT CONDITIONS AND THUS REQUIRES REAL-TIME ADAPTABILITY. THE NOVEL MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND STRUCTURALLY INTEGRATED EFFORT EXPLORES NEW ENGINEERING TOOLS AND MATERIALS DEMONSTRATING THAT DISTRIBUTED STRUCTURAL ADAPTIVITY CAN ENABLE ROBUST LOW BOOM SST PERFORMANCE IN VARYING CONDITIONS AND THUS DEVELOPS TECHNOLOGIES TO ENABLE COMMUNITY-ACCEPTED SST AIRCRAFT. OUR TEAM WAS CAREFULLY CHOSEN TO ADDRESS THIS UNIQUE AERONAUTICS PROBLEM IS STRONG IN EACH IMPORTANT TECHNICAL AREA AND IS SYNERGISTIC ACROSS MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES AND IDENTIFIED CHALLENGES. THE TEXAS A&M LEADERSHIP IS NATURAL FOR THIS EFFORT GIVEN ITS MANY PREVIOUS INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH SUCCESSES AND LONG HISTORY OF SMART MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES DEVELOPMENTS AND SUPERSONICS/HYPERSONICS EXPLORATION. PARTNER INSTITUTIONS (FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY PRINCETON UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS UTAH STATE) WERE CHOSEN ON THE BASIS OF THEIR TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AND PROVIDE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPORTING NASA S MISSION OF EXTENDING INCLUSION TO A WIDER RANGE OF RESEARCHERS. INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS (ATA ENGINEERING BOEING FORT WAYNE METALS) WERE SELECTED FOR THEIR BACKGROUND IN SUPERSONIC PLATFORM AND APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS. THE OVERALL RESEARCH STRATEGY IS COMPOSED OF THREE MAJOR FOCUS AREAS OR TECHNICAL CHALLENGES THAT MUST BE MET FOR PROGRAM SUCCESS: I) DISTRIBUTED ADAPTIVITY DESIGN TOOLS DEVELOPMENT AND TRADE STUDIES II) MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATED SOLID-STATE ACTUATION DESIGN; AND III) DETAILED DESIGN AND DEMONSTRATION. INITIALLY THE TEAM IS IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS WHERE SMALLSCALE DISTRIBUTED ADAPTIVITY CAN PROVIDE A BENEFIT IN NOISE OR DRAG ACROSS THE ENTIRE FLIGHT ENVELOPE. FOR SELECTED APPLICATIONS/STRUCTURAL LOCATIONS REQUIRED OML GEOMETRY CHANGES WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON ANALYSIS OF BOOM GROUND SIGNATURE AND DRAG REDUCTION USING NEW DESIGN TOOLS AND TRADE STUDIES. ADAPTIVE STRUCTURE DESIGNS WILL BE DEVELOPED AND EVALUATED AGAINST THE REQUIREMENTS (E.G. LOADING STROKE LENGTH OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE) INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL ALLOY FORMULATIONS TAILORED FOR BOTH AUTONOMOUS AND CONTROLLED ACTUATION. AS THE SMA MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT MATURES INTEGRATED SYSTEM-LEVEL FACTORS WILL BE CONSIDERED. OPTIMIZED DESIGNS FOR SELECTED ADAPTIVE STRUCTURAL APPLICATIONS WILL THEN BE MATURED AND TESTED MOVING TOWARD SYSTEM-LEVEL WIND TUNNEL DEMONSTRATION OF THE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY APPROACHES AT A TRL 4-5.

FMRG: ECO: CAS-CLIMATE: SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING USING LIVING ORGANISMS AND AGRICULTURALLY DERIVED MATERIALS -THIS FUTURE MANUFACTURING RESEARCH GRANT IN ECOMANUFACTURING WILL GENERATE KNOWLEDGE THAT ENABLES 3D PRINTING-BASED METHODS TO MANUFACTURE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTS USING LIVING ORGANISMS (ALGAE, BACTERIA, AND FUNGI) AND AGRICULTURALLY DERIVED MATERIALS (BIOMASS AND CORN PLASTICS). DIFFERENT FROM PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS, AGRICULTURALLY DERIVED MATERIALS ARE BIODEGRADABLE AND ABUNDANT ON THIS PLANET. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE BEEN GROSSLY UNDERVALUED AND MISUSED. FOR EXAMPLE, BIOMASS IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED SOLID WASTE THAT IS DOWNCYCLED TO FIRE FUEL OR FERTILIZER, OR SHIPPED TO LANDFILLS. INSPIRED BY BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS THAT INVOLVE LIVING CELLS TO BIND AND METABOLIZE BIOMASS, THE TEAM PROPOSES A NEW MANUFACTURING METHOD BY HARNESSING LIVING ORGANISMS TO BIND AGRICULTURALLY DERIVED MATERIALS AND 3D PRINTING PRODUCTS USING LIVING-CELL BRIDGED BIOCOMPOSITES. THESE PRODUCTS HAVE BROAD APPLICATIONS IN PACKAGING, FURNITURE, CONSTRUCTION, AND EVEN SPACE HABITATS. THE WIDESPREAD USE OF THE NEW METHOD WILL MAKE MANY PRODUCTS AND THEIR MANUFACTURING MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, CREATE DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING-RELATED JOBS, AND USE MORE MATERIALS READILY AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT HAS AN INTEGRATED EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO TRAIN THE FUTURE WORKFORCE THROUGH A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS DEVELOPING A NEW COURSE AND TEXTBOOK ON ECOMANUFACTURING USING LIVING ORGANISMS, ESTABLISHING A WEBSITE RELATED TO ECOMANUFACTURING, INVOLVING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN RESEARCH, UPSKILLING WORKFORCE THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH 2-YEAR COLLEGES AND INDUSTRY, AND CONDUCTING BOTH FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE EVALUATIONS ON THESE ACTIVITIES. THE PROJECT AIMS TO UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE OF 3D PRINTING-BASED MANUFACTURING METHODS USING LIVING ORGANISMS AND AGRICULTURALLY DERIVED MATERIALS. THE CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS IS THAT MODULATING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LIVING ORGANISMS AND AGRICULTURALLY DERIVED MATERIALS VIA ADVANCED MANUFACTURING PROCESSES WILL LEAD TO RELIABLE MANUFACTURING OF PRODUCTS FROM SUSTAINABLE BIOCOMPOSITES. DRIVEN BY THIS HYPOTHESIS, THE TEAM WILL TAKE EXPERIMENTAL, THEORETICAL, AND COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES TO SYSTEMATICALLY STUDY THE EFFECTS OF MANUFACTURING PROCESSES ON PRINTABILITY, CELL VIABILITY, PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, RECYCLABILITY, DEGRADABILITY, AND FULL LIFE-CYCLE ANALYSIS OF THE PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED USING BIOCOMPOSITES. THE ENTIRE MANUFACTURING LIFECYCLE OF THE NEW 3D PRINTING-BASED METHOD WILL BE CONSIDERED, INCLUDING FEEDSTOCK MATERIAL PRODUCTION, SERVICE, AND END-OF-LIFE, AS WELL AS ENERGY CONSUMPTION, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, AND COST EFFECTIVENESS. CONVERGENCE RESEARCH WILL BE PERFORMED BY A TEAM WITH EXPERTISE IN BIOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION, WITH COLLABORATION FROM INDUSTRY. THIS FUTURE MANUFACTURING AWARD WAS SUPPORTED BY THE DIVISION OF CIVIL, MECHANICAL AND MANUFACTURING INNOVATION, THE DIVISION OF MATERIALS RESEARCH, THE DIVISION OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION AND CENTERS, AND THE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION. 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.

DEVELOPMENT OF POLYMERIC HYDROGELS FOR RADIATION DECONAMINATION

FMRG: CYBER: MANUFACTURING USA: MATERIAL-ON-DEMAND MANUFACTURING THROUGH CONVERGENCE OF MANUFACTURING, AI AND MATERIALS SCIENCE -RECENT ADVANCES IN AI ARE DRIVING AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, LEADING TO THE EMERGENCE OF INTELLIGENT, AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS. THIS FUTURE CYBERMANUFACTURING RESEARCH GRANT?REIMAGINES AUTONOMY FOR A NEW GENERATION OF MANUFACTURING MACHINES, CAPABLE THE MANUFACTURE OF ADVANCED ALLOY PRODUCTS WITH UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE AFFORDABLY. THE PROJECT BRINGS TOGETHER A DIVERSE TEAM OF PIONEERS FROM ACADEMIA AND THE INDUSTRY IN AI (INCLUDING MACHINE LEARNING, ADAPTIVE CONTROL, AND DATA SCIENCE), MATERIALS SCIENCE, AND SMART MANUFACTURING, TOWARDS ADDRESSING THE FOUNDATIONAL RESEARCH AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT. THE TEAM INCLUDES TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY/TEXAS A&M ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION, BROWN UNIVERSITY, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY KINGSVILLE, PRAIRIE VIEW A&M UNIVERSITY, HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE, AND MULTIPLE INDUSTRY, REGIONAL GOVERNMENT, AND ACADEMIC PARTNERS. THESE FOUNDATIONS ALLOW A NEW APPROACH AND DEMONSTRATION PLATFORMS TO HARNESS RECENT ADVANCES IN 3D PRINTING, MATERIALS GENOMICS, AND SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES TO CONTROL THE PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND TO MIX MULTIPLE MATERIALS TO OBTAIN THE DESIRED PROPERTIES. THESE PRODUCTS PROVIDE A CRITICAL COMPETITIVE EDGE FOR THE US ECONOMY AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR THE NATIONAL CRITICAL MATERIAL CHALLENGES IN THE STRATEGIC HYPERSONIC SYSTEMS AND ENERGY CONVERSION SECTORS. IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE STUDENTS AND INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR VALUABLE EDUCATION AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT. THE PROJECT TACKLES SCIENTIFIC CHALLENGES OF REALIZING FUTURISTIC MANUFACTURING MACHINES ENDOWED WITH A DEEP LEVEL OF AUTONOMY TO MAKE TAILORED MATERIALS-ON-DEMAND MANUFACTURING. THE AUTONOMOUS MANUFACTURING MACHINE PLATFORMS ARE ENVISIONED TO GENERATE PROCESS PLANS ADAPTIVELY (FUSING INFORMATION FROM DIVERSE DATA AND KNOWLEDGE SOURCES) ? TO CONTROL MATERIAL MICROSTRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION BEYOND JUST GEOMETRY AND MORPHOLOGY ? TO YIELD BULK-SCALE TAILORED MATERIAL COMPONENTS WITH DRAMATICALLY ENHANCED FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE. THE FOLLOWING FOUR FOUNDATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO AUTONOMY PRINCIPLES WOULD EMERGE FROM THIS EFFORT: (1) SHAPE-CONSTRAINED MACHINE LEARNING. THE KEY IDEA IN THIS NOVEL FORM OF PHYSICS-INFORMED MACHINE LEARNING IS TO INTRODUCE CONSTRAINTS ON THE SHAPE/SIGN OF THE UNDERLYING FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP TO MODEL INCOMPLETE PHYSICAL AND EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE. (2) HARNESS SURPRISE OBSERVATIONS. A SURPRISE OUTCOME FROM AN EXPERIMENT OR A PROCESS HAS HISTORICALLY LED TO NEW DISCOVERIES AND INSIGHTS. DEALING WITH SURPRISING OBSERVATIONS DIFFERENTIATES AN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM FROM AN AUTOMATED ONE. (3) SAFEGUARDING EXTRAPOLATION USING DIGITAL TWINS. THE PRINCIPLES OF FUSING PHYSICAL SYSTEMS WITH MULTIPLE DIGITAL TWINS WOULD BE DEVELOPED, EACH CAPTURING CERTAIN PHYSICS WITH A SPECIFIED FIDELITY. (4) KNOWLEDGE EXPANSION. NEW APPROACHES WOULD BE STUDIED TO CAPTURE EXPERIENTIAL AND DEEP KNOWLEDGE IN THE PUBLIC MANUFACTURING LITERATURE/DATABASES ON PROCESS CHAINS AND THE DYNAMIC PROCESS-MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS VIA INNOVATIVE GRAPH NEURAL NETWORKS. THESE APPROACHES WILL BE VALIDATED TO DISCOVER INNOVATE NEW PATHWAYS TO MANUFACTURE HIGH-ENTROPY ALLOYS THAT RETAIN STRENGTHS ABOVE 1400?C, DEMONSTRATING IMPROVED MACHINABILITY AND REDUCED USE OF EXPENSIVE AND SCARCE MATERIALS. THE PROJECT WOULD PROVIDE HANDS-ON TRAINING AND EDUCATION, LEVERAGING THEIR EXPERTISE AND COLLABORATIONS WITH NATIONAL MANUFACTURING USA, INDUSTRY, AND EDUCATION NETWORKS. THIS FUTURE MANUFACTURING RESEARCH IS SUPPORTED BY THE COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING DIRECTORATE'S DIVISION OF COMPUTER AND NETWORK SYSTEMS (CISE/CNS), THE ENGINEERING DIRECTORATE'S DIVISION OF CIVIL, MECHANICAL AND MANUFACTURING INNOVATION (ENG/CMMI), THE ENGINEERING DIRECTORATE'S DIVISION ENGINEERING EDUCATION AND CENTERS (ENG/EEC), THE MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES DIRECTORATE'S DIVISION OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES (MPS/DMS), AND THE TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION AND PARTNERSHIPS DIRECTORATE'S TRANSLATIONAL IMPACTS DIVISION (TIP/TI). 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.

GUARD: A GLOBAL UNBIASED ANTIMICROBIAL DISCOVERY PLATFORM - ABSTRACT THE EMERGENCE OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE (AMR) MICROBES HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) AS GLOBAL THREATS TO HUMAN HEALTH AND SAFETY. INDISCRIMINATE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS CONJOINED WITH NATURAL EVOLUTION HAS NOW PUT US IN A SITUATION WHERE CONVENTIONAL ANTIBIOTICS ARE NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. TO ADDRESS THIS GLOBAL CRISIS, NEW MOLECULES TO COMBAT AMR MICROBES MUST BE DEVELOPED. UNFORTUNATELY, SIGNIFICANT GAPS IN CONVENTIONAL SCREENING APPROACHES HAVE PREVENTED THE EFFICIENT DISCOVERY OF DESIRED NOVEL ANTIBACTERIAL OR HOST­ DEPENDENT ANTI-INFECTIVE (HDAI) THERAPEUTICS. THIS PROPOSAL WILL PURSUE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATION THAT ENABLES THE SIMULTANEOUS SCREENING OF COMPOUNDS WITH ANTIMICROBIAL AND/OR HDAI THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITIES, THEREBY DRAMATICALLY ENHANCING THE TARGET SPACE FOR THWARTING AMR BACTERIA. SPECIFICALLY, A NOVEL MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM CALLED GUARD (A GLOBAL UNBIASED ANTIMICROBIAL RECOVERY AND DISCOVERY PLATFORM), WHICH SUPPORTS THE HIGH­ THROUGHPUT, LOW-COST SCREENING OF ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBES THAT PRODUCE NATURAL PRODUCTS (NP) THAT EITHER DIRECTLY KILL PATHOGENS, OR THAT ACTIVATE HOST HDAI ACTIVITIES, HAS BEEN PROTOTYPED. NOTABLY, THE GUARD SYSTEM WILL PERFORM THESE ASSAYS AT SINGLE-CELL (DIGITAL) RESOLUTION. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO FURTHER DEVELOP AND UTILIZE GUARD TO IDENTIFY NEW CLASSES OF MOLECULES THAT EITHER DIRECTLY KILL OR PREVENT INFECTION BY METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) AS WELL AS MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII AND PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA, WHICH HAVE BEEN CATEGORIZED AS THE HIGHEST GLOBAL PRIORITY (I.E., "CRITICAL") BY THE WHO. IN ADDITION, THIS PROJECT WILL DISCERN THEIR MECHANISMS OF ACTION. WITH THESE IDEAS IN MIND, THIS PROPOSAL AIMS: AIM 1: TO DEVELOP THE GUARD PLATFORM AND UTILIZE IT TO SCREEN MORE THAN 108 MICROBES FROM DIVERSE HABITATS TO IDENTIFY ISOLATES THAT SYNTHESIZE NPS THAT (A) KILL MULTIDRUG RESISTANT A. BAUMANNII, P. AERUGINOSA, AND MRSA OR INDUCE HDAI ACTIVITIES THAT PROTECT HOST CELLS, AND (B) ARE NON-TOXIC TO HOST CELLS; AIM 2: TO UTILIZE SEQUENCING AND STATE­ OF-THE-ART ANALYTICAL CHEMICAL DEREPLICATION, LEAD PRIORITIZATION, AND SMALL MOLECULE PURIFICATION STRATEGIES TO IDENTIFY NOVEL NP SCAFFOLDS WITH DESIRABLE PROFILES; AIM 3: TO EVALUATE THE SPECTRUM OF PATHOGENS TARGETED BY THE MOST PROMISING NP ANTIMICROBIALS AND/OR HDAIS, AND THE HOST TARGETS OF OUR MOST PROMISING HDAI NPS. IMPORTANT OUTCOMES OF THIS WORK WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A NOVEL PLATFORM AND WORKFLOW FOR THE DISCOVERY OF MOLECULES THAT DEFEAT AMR MICROBES, AND THE DELIVERY OF SEVERAL NOVEL NPS THAT CAN BE ADVANCED FOR FURTHER PRE-CLINICAL TESTING AND CLINICAL EVALUATION.

MULTIFREQUENCY ULTRASOUND IMAGING FOR IMPROVED BREAST TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION - PROJECT SUMMARY THE USE OF NONINVASIVE ULTRASOUND FOR QUANTITATIVE TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION HAS BEEN AN EXCITING RESEARCH PROSPECT FOR SEVERAL DECADES NOW. HEREIN THE CHALLENGE IS TO FIND HIDDEN PATTERNS IN THE ULTRASOUND DATA TO REVEAL MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TISSUE FUNCTION AND PATHOLOGY THAT CANNOT BE SEEN IN THE MORE CONVENTIONAL ULTRASOUND IMAGES. BYPASSING SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH TRADITIONAL TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION APPROACHES, A NEW MODALITY HAS EMERGED FOR THE ULTRASOUND CLASSIFICATION OF ACOUSTIC SCATTERERS LIKE CANCER CELLS. TERMED H-SCAN ULTRASOUND (WHERE THE ‘H’ STANDS FOR HERMITE OR HUE), THIS INNOVATIVE REAL-TIME IMAGING TECHNIQUE REVEALS THE LOCAL FREQUENCY DEPENDENCE OF DIFFERENT-SIZED SCATTERER AGGREGATES FOUND IN SOFT TISSUE. OUR PRELIMINARY PRECLINICAL FINDINGS USING IN VIVO H-SCAN ULTRASOUND HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS NEW IMAGING TECHNIQUE IS USEFUL FOR DETECTING APOPTOTIC ACTIVITY AND AN EARLY RESPONSE TO CHEMOTHERAPY. HERE CHANGES IN H-SCAN ULTRASOUND IMAGE INTENSITY WERE SHOWN TO HAVE A STRONG CORRELATION TO LOCAL CANCER CELL NUCLEAR SIZE. GUIDED BY KNOWLEDGE GAINED FROM THESE PREVIOUS STUDIES, THE PURPOSE OF THE CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A NEXT-GENERATION IN VIVO H-SCAN ULTRASOUND IMAGING SYSTEM AND TUMOR CHARACTERIZATION METHOD. OUR FIRST GOAL IS TO IMPLEMENT A MULTIFREQUENCY H-SCAN ULTRASOUND IMAGING FUNCTIONALITY ON PROGRAMMABLE SCANNER EQUIPPED WITH A WIDEBAND CAPACITIVE MICROMACHINED ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER (CMUT). THIS NEW ULTRASOUND IMAGING TECHNOLOGY WILL BE TESTED AND OPTIMIZED USING A SERIES OF PHANTOM MATERIALS EMBEDDED WITH SCATTERERS OF KNOWN SIZE. NEXT, WE WILL QUANTIFY SUCCESS OF H-SCAN ULTRASOUND IMAGING FOR MONITORING AN EARLY RESPONSE TO CHEMOTHERAPY USING A PRECLINICAL MODEL OF BREAST CANCER THAT RECAPITULATES HUMAN DISEASE. WE WILL THEN COMPARE H-SCAN ULTRASOUND FINDINGS TO PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS OF CANCER CELL SIZE AND RESULTS OBTAINED BY COMPETING IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES. LASTLY, WE WILL CONDUCT THE FIRST HUMAN STUDY OF MULTIFREQUENCY H-SCAN ULTRASOUND IMAGING OF BREAST CANCER AND EVALUATE THE POTENTIAL FOR HELPING WITH DISEASE MANAGEMENT.

DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-SCALE CLOSED LOOP MODEL FOR HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK: A PLATFORM TO ASSESS REBOA PERFORMANCE - PROJECT SUMMARY HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF PREVENTABLE DEATH AFTER A TRAUMATIC INJURY, AND ACCOUNTS FOR 91% OF MILITARY AND 35% OF CIVILIAN FATALITIES AFTER TRAUMA. INJURIES TO NON-COMPRESSIBLE INTRACAVITY REGIONS, SUCH AS THE TORSO AND ABDOMEN, ARE A MAJOR CLINICAL CHALLENGE DUE TO A LACK OF APPROPRIATE INTERVENTIONS, AND REPRESENT 30- 40% OF EARLY FATALITIES. TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, ENDOVASCULAR HEMORRHAGE CONTROL (EHC) DEVICES AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUES SUCH AS RESUSCITATIVE ENDOVASCULAR BALLOON OCCLUSION OF THE AORTA (REBOA) HAVE BEEN INCREASINGLY ADOPTED. REBOA INVOLVES FULL INFLATION OF A BALLOON CATHETER IN THE AORTA, WHICH RESTRICTS BLOOD FLOW DISTAL TO THE OCCLUSION AND CONSEQUENTLY MINIMIZES BLEEDING. WHILE REBOA IS EFFECTIVE AT RESTORING PROXIMAL PERFUSION, THE REDUCTIONS IN BLOOD FLOW CAN RESULT IN ISCHEMIA-REPERFUSION INJURIES THAT INCREASE THE RISK OF SUBSEQUENT RENAL FAILURE. AS SUCH, THERE IS A PRESSING NEED TO IDENTIFY OPTIMAL OCCLUSION SIZE, TIMING, AND DURATION OF REBOA DEPLOYMENT. TO DATE, THESE IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE GAPS ARE HINDERED BY EXPENSIVE AND TIME INTENSIVE LARGE ANIMAL MODELS THAT SLOW THE PACE OF INNOVATION. TO ADDRESS THIS MAJOR GAP, WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE A NOVEL MULTI-SCALE COMPUTATIONAL MODEL THAT WILL ALLOW US TO SIMULATE THE IN VIVO PHYSIOLOGIC RESPONSE TO HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK. USING A 3D-0D CLOSED LOOP APPROACH OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, WE WILL BE ABLE TO SIMULATE THE CRITICAL FEEDBACK LOOPS AND BIOLOGIC RESPONSE FUNCTIONS TO RENDER A PHYSIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT MODEL. THESE METHODS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY USED TO INFORM THE DESIGN OF CARDIOVASCULAR STENTS AND INFERIOR VENA CAVA FILTERS, BUT NONE TO OUR KNOWLEDGE HAVE BEEN EXPLOITED FOR THE EVALUATION OF REBOA OR ANY OTHER EHC DEVICE. OUR CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS IS THAT COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF BLOOD FLOW WITHIN THE AORTA AND SYSTEMIC VASCULAR NETWORK WILL GENERATE ACCURATE AND ROBUST VALUES FOR PRESSURE, FLOW AND SHEAR RATES WITHIN 5% ERROR, CLOSELY MIMICKING IN VIVO BEHAVIOR. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO USE THIS COMPUTATIONAL FRAMEWORK TO: 1) QUANTIFY THE LOCAL AND SYSTEMIC HEMODYNAMICS (I.E., PRESSURE, FLOW RATE, SHEAR STRESS, OXYGEN TRANSPORT, ETC.) DURING PHASES OF ACTIVE HEMORRHAGE, AORTIC OCCLUSION WITH REBOA, AND RESUSCITATION, 2) IDENTIFY VASCULAR REGIONS THAT ARE VULNERABLE TO ISCHEMIC DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE ALTERED HEMODYNAMICS, 3) PREDICT KEY PHYSIOLOGIC RESPONSES RELATED TO VASCULAR COMPLIANCE, OXYGEN DELIVERY AND RENAL AUTOREGULATION DURING HEMORRHAGE AND AORTIC OCCLUSION, AND 4) DETERMINE OPTIMAL AORTIC OCCLUSION SIZE AND DURATION OF PARTIAL VS. FULL OCCLUSION STRATEGIES TO PREVENT ISCHEMIA- REPERFUSION INJURIES AND RENAL FAILURE. SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF THIS IN SILICO MODEL WILL GREATLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE PRECLINICAL TESTING AND OPTIMIZATION OF EHC DEVICES, MINIMIZING THE NEED FOR LARGE ANIMAL STUDIES AND ALSO OPEN DOORS FOR THE STUDY OF OTHER TRANSIENT HEMODYNAMIC CONDITIONS WITHIN THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM.

BIOPSY TRACT SEALING DEVICE WITH MAGNETIC RESONANCE AND X-RAY IMAGE CONTRAST - PROJECT SUMMARY WHEN CANCER IS SUSPECTED IN A PATIENT, THE TISSUE IN QUESTION MUST BE REMOVED AND ANALYZED. THIS PROCEDURE IS CALLED A BIOPSY AND IS A CRUCIAL STEP IN EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER. HOWEVER, THE PROCEDURE LEAVES A HOLE IN THE TISSUE WHICH CAN CONTINUE TO BLEED, OR IN THE CASE OF LUNG TISSUE, LEAK AIR. IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY COMPLICATIONS, WE PROPOSE A NEW DEVICE TO FILL THESE TISSUE VOIDS THAT ADDRESSES LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES. THE BIOPSY TRACT SEALING DEVICE WILL BE MADE OF A SHAPE MEMORY FOAM AND A GEL THAT EXPAND TO FILL THE VOID MADE DURING BIOPSY. THE DEVICE WILL SEAL THE HOLE TO PREVENT ANY LEAKS OF AIR OR BLOOD, WITH AN ADDED BENEFIT OF BEING VISIBLE UNDER MRI AND X-RAY IMAGING. THIS FEATURE ALLOWS THE PHYSICIAN TO MONITOR ANY DISEASE PROGRESSION AT THE BIOPSY SITE IN FOLLOW-UP VISITS. THE PROPOSED WORK INCLUDES EXTENSIVE PRE-CLINICAL TESTING AND DESIGN VERIFICATION THAT IS REQUIRED TO TRANSLATE THIS TECHNOLOGY. NAMELY, WE PLAN TO: 1) FINALIZE DESIGN OF THE DEVICE, 2) PERFORM STUDIES TO CONFIRM THE DEVICES ARE NON-TOXIC AND DO NOT CAUSE ANY UNDESIRABLE TISSUE REACTION AFTER IMPLANTATION, 3) CONDUCT DEVICE DESIGN VERIFICATION TESTS TO ENSURE PERFORMANCE IS SUCCESSFUL, AND 4) SUMMARIZE ALL TEST RESULTS IN REPORTS THAT CAN LATER BE USED IN AN APPLICATION TO THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA). THIS PROPOSAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND UTILITY OF A COMMON PROCEDURE THAT CAN SAVE LIVES THROUGH EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER. APPROXIMATELY 140,000 LUNG BIOPSIES AND 110,000 LIVER BIOPSIES ARE PERFORMED IN THE US EACH YEAR. WITH HIGH COMPLICATION RATES (~20-50%) OF LUNG BIOPSY PROCEDURES AND RISK OF SEVERE BLEEDING COMPLICATIONS WITH LIVER BIOPSIES, THE HEALTHCARE OF THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS WILL BE IMPROVED BY THIS DEVICE DEVELOPMENT.
