FIRESTONE WALKER BREWING COMPANY (HENCEFORTH CALLED THE COMPANY), PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA, OWNS A 1 MILLION BARREL (BBL) BREWERY THAT REQUIRES UP TO 5 MW OF PROCESS HEAT IN FORM OF SATURATED STEAM. FIRESTONE WALKER BREWERY HAS SET A GOAL OF REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS BY 50% FOR OUR 1 MILLION BBL BREWERY. SOME ASPECTS OF THE PROPOSED DECARBONIZATION PROJECT INCLUDE (BUT NOT LIMITED TO): • CONSTRUCTION OF A PARABOLIC TROUGH THERMAL POWER PLANT TO PARTLY COVER THE HEAT DEMAND. • CONSTRUCTION OF STEAM ACCUMULATOR STORAGE SYSTEM • BALANCE OF PLANT (BOP), PIPING, HEAT EXCHANGER, PIPING TO DELIVERY POINT • HYBRIDIZATION OF CST PLANT WITH HEAT PUMPS (OPTIONAL) • USE OF CONCENTRATED SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY AND THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE TO REPLACE NATURAL GAS CONSUMPTION, AS WELL AS REDUCTION OF CO2 EMISSIONS. THE CST PLANT WILL BE IN THE SOUTHERN OUTSKIRTS OF PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA. THE ANNUAL SOLAR RADIATION AVAILABLE ON SITE IS 2,565 KWH/M²/ANNUM. CURRENTLY, PROCESS HEAT SUPPLY IS PROVIDED BY GAS BOILERS, WITH AN EXPECTED HEAT DEMAND IS 13.7 GWHTH / 46,000 MMBTU. THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE OF THE SATURATED STEAM AT INTERFACE IS 165 °C / 330 °F, CONDENSATE RETURN IS EXPECTED TO BE AT 82 °C / 180 °F BUT WILL BE REVISED DURING THE PROJECT. A PLOT OF 11 HA / 27.1 ACRES HAS BEEN CONSIDERED FOR THE CST PLANT BUT MAY BE LOCATED CLOSER TO THE BREWERY. INTEGRATION OF HEAT PUMPS TO THE SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEM IS ALSO PLANNED. THE INTEGRATION PROCESS INVOLVES CONNECTING THE COLLECTORS OR TES OR WASTE HEAT FROM THE BREWERY AS THE HEAT SOURCE FOR THE HEAT PUMP. THE HEATED FLUID (WATER AT RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE) ENTERS THE HEAT PUMP, WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS FURTHER INCREASED THROUGH THE COMPRESSION AND EXPANSION OF A REFRIGERANT. THE FINAL OUTPUT IS HOT WATER OR STEAM AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE SUPPLIED TO THE HEAT SINK (HEAT CONSUMERS) THAN AT THE HEAT SOURCE. ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMBINED SYSTEM IS ITS ABILITY TO OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY, EVEN DURING PERIODS OF LOW SOLAR RADIATION. THE HEAT PUMP COMPENSATES FOR VARIATIONS IN SOLAR ENERGY AVAILABILITY, ENSURING A CONSISTENT AND RELIABLE HEAT SUPPLY FOR BREWING OPERATIONS. A CASCADED HEAT PUMP SYSTEM IS A STRATEGY TO INCREASE THE OVERALL COP, IMPROVE SYSTEM EFFICIENCY AND OBTAIN HIGH TEMPERATURE OUTPUTS. IN A CASCADED SYSTEM, EACH HEAT PUMP OPERATES AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE LEVELS, AND THE HEAT REJECTED BY ONE HEAT PUMP BECOMES THE HEAT SOURCE FOR THE NEXT ONE. THIS APPROACH IS PARTICULARLY USEFUL WHEN DEALING WITH TEMPERATURE LIFTS THAT A SINGLE HEAT PUMP MIGHT STRUGGLE WITH. EACH HEAT PUMP IN THE CASCADE IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITHIN A SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE RANGE. BY STAGING THE HEAT PUMPS BASED ON TEMPERATURE LEVELS, THE SYSTEM CAN BETTER MATCH THE TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS OF THE APPLICATION. THIS IS CRUCIAL BECAUSE HIGHER TEMPERATURE LIFTS GENERALLY LEAD TO LOWER COPS, AND USING MULTIPLE HEAT PUMPS ALLOWS FOR BETTER EFFICIENCY AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE STAGES. THE CRITICAL PATH STEPS TO ACHIEVE THE 50-90% REDUCTION IN CARBON DIOXIDE GENERATION IS: • PROJECT OUTLINE O BASELINE ANALYSIS OF ENERGY USE O OUTLINE POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO OFFSET NATURAL GAS USE O DETERMINE FEASIBLE APPLICATIONS OF SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES O SITE SURVEY TO CONFIRM LOCATION OF SOLAR THERMAL APPLICATIONS • PLANNING AND APPROVALS O LOCAL, STATE APPROVAL O OUTLINE CDFW REQUIREMENTS O NEPA APPROVAL • BUDGETARY ANALYSIS O OBTAIN BUDGETARY PROPOSALS TO COMPLETE SCOPE OF WORK • LAUNCH EPC ACTIVITIES O ASSIGN PROJECT ENGINEERS O COMPLETE PROJECT ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS O AWARD EQUIPMENT CONTRACTS O DETERMINE CONTRACTING COMPANIES • CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING, START-UP AND TESTING • PROJECT CLOSE-OUT O EVALUATE PROJECT REPORTING METHODOLOGIES

DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY-BASED FACILITY TO SUPPORT NEXT GENERATION BIOMEDICAL HIV RESEARCH - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT WARDS 7 AND 8 IN WASHINGTON, DC ARE HOME TO SOME OF THE NATION’S MOST STARK RACIAL INEQUITIES IN HEALTH AND SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS, WITH RESIDENTS OF THESE WARDS BEING UNDERSERVED IN HEALTHCARE AND UNDERREPRESENTED PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH. AMONG THESE HEALTH INEQUITIES IS A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER BURDEN OF HIV, YET NONE OF THE MAJOR HIV-RELATED RESEARCH FACILITIES IN DC ARE LOCATED WITHIN THESE WARDS. TWO CENTRAL HUBS FOR HIV RESEARCH WITHIN DC—THE DC CENTER FOR AIDS RESEARCH AND THE DC CLINICAL TRIALS UNIT—BOTH OPERATE PRIMARILY OUT OF FACILITIES IN WARD 2, AND THE EFFICACY OF THIS RESEARCH WOULD BE ENHANCED BY STRONGER REPRESENTATION OF MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES IN PROTOCOLS TO OPTIMIZE THE IMPACT OF THIS WORK ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN DC THAT ARE THE HARDEST HIT BY HIV, ITS CO-MORBIDITIES/CO-INFECTIONS, AND OTHER CO-OCCURRING HEALTH INEQUITIES. THUS, THE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED HIV RESEARCH FACILITIES AWARD IS TO FUND THE BUILD-OUT OF A NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART, COMMUNITY-CENTERED CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL HIV RESEARCH FACILITY LOCATED WITHIN THE NEW FLAGSHIP WHITMAN-WALKER BUILDING CURRENTLY BEING CONSTRUCTED IN DC’S WARD 8, TO BE USED JOINTLY BY HIV INVESTIGATORS AT BOTH WHITMAN-WALKER AND GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY (GWU). THE PROPOSED FACILITY WOULD ADD 10,300 SQUARE FEET OF DEDICATED RESEARCH SPACE, INCLUDING A STATE-OF-THE-ART RESEARCH LAB AND A RESEARCH PHARMACY WITH CAPACITY FOR STERILE COMPOUNDING OF INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCTS, MORE THAN DOUBLING THE AVAILABLE SPACE FOR RESEARCH IN THIS BUILDING AND SERVING AS THE PRIMARY COLLABORATIVE HUB FOR HIV-FOCUSED RESEARCH IN SOUTHEAST DC. DOING SO WILL SIGNIFICANTLY: (1) INCREASE THE OVERALL VOLUME OF RESEARCH ABLE TO BE CONDUCTED; (2) ENHANCE THE COLLABORATION OF WHITMAN-WALKER AND GWU INVESTIGATORS, BOLSTERING THE STRATEGIC INTEGRATION OF BOTH RESEARCH PROGRAMS; (3) EXPAND THE SCOPE AND TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES OF THE WORK THAT IS POSSIBLE NOT ONLY FOR BOTH INSTITUTIONS BUT ALSO WITHIN THESE SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOODS OF DC; (4) INDIRECTLY EXPAND THE AVAILABLE SPACE FOR SOCIAL/BEHAVIORAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH AS WELL BY RELOCATING ALL CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH TO THE NEW FACILITY; (5) PROVIDE LOCAL COMMUNITIES WITH GREATER ACCESS TO AND REPRESENTATION IN CUTTING- EDGE HIV SCIENCE AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP INFORM THESE COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH AGENDAS; (6) FACILITATE GREATER TRANSLATION AND DISSEMINATION OF BREAKTHROUGHS IN HIV SCIENCE WITHIN LOCAL AND NATIONAL POLICY CONTEXTS THAT WILL BENEFIT BOTH LOCAL DC COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY; AND (7) PROMOTE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP. IN SUM, THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL HAVE A MULTIPLICATIVE IMPACT ON BOTH LOCAL AND NATIONAL HIV RESEARCH THROUGH THIS UNIQUE PLAN TO INCREASE THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF FACILITIES AVAILABLE AND CO-LOCATE TWO OF DC’S TOP HIV RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS TO LEVERAGE EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND FORGE NEW, COMMUNITY-CENTERED COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH AGENDAS. IN DOING SO, THE AWARD WILL BRING CUTTING-EDGE BREAKTHROUGHS IN HIV TREATMENT AND PREVENTION SCIENCE DIRECTLY TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED BY THE HIV EPIDEMIC IN DC AND HAS SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL FOR PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACT FOR DECADES TO COME.

INTERSECTIONAL DISCRIMINATION AND LINKAGE TO HIV PREVENTION AND CARE IN TRANSGENDER WOMEN IN ECUADOR - 7. PROJECT SUMMARY-ABSTRACT LATIN AMERICA DID NOT ACHIEVE ANY REDUCTIONS IN NEW HIV CASES IN THE LAST DECADE. IN ECUADOR, TRANSGENDER WOMEN—THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS WOMEN OR ON THE TRANSFEMININE SPECTRUM AND WHO WERE ASSIGNED A MALE SEX AT BIRTH—WHO HAVE SEX WITH CISGENDER MEN ARE A KEY POPULATION IN THE HIV EPIDEMIC. HIV PREVALENCE IN ECUADOR IS BETWEEN 20.7%-34.8% AMONG TRANSGENDER WOMEN—THE HIGHEST IN LATIN AMERICA. STUDIES ARE URGENTLY NEEDED TO GUIDE HIV PREVENTION AND CARE EFFORTS TO CURB HIV INFECTION RATES. PEOPLE WITH MULTIPLE MARGINALIZED IDENTITIES, SUCH AS TRANSGENDER WOMEN OF AFRICAN DESCENT LIVING IN POVERTY, ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF EXPOSURE TO INTERSECTIONAL DISCRIMINATION THAN THE GENERAL U.S. POPULATION AND HAVE HIGH RATES OF HIV. YET THE EXTENT TO WHICH ECUADORIAN TRANSGENDER WOMEN ARE BURDENED BY INTERSECTIONAL DISCRIMINATION AND ITS EFFECT ON THE LINKAGE TO HIV PREVENTION AND CARE OUTCOMES REMAINS UNKNOWN. THIS K01 AWARD WILL PROVIDE THE CANDIDATE WITH TRAINING IN INTERSECTIONAL QUALITATIVE, QUANTITATIVE, INTERVENTION DEVELOPMENT, AND GRANT WRITING TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGE OF INTERSECTIONAL DISCRIMINATION AND HIV BURDEN IN TRANSGENDER WOMEN IN ECUADOR. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL ASSESS THE MECHANISMS THROUGH WHICH INTERSECTIONAL DISCRIMINATION EXERTS ITS IMPACT ON LINKAGE TO HIV PREVENTION AND CARE FOR TRANSGENDER WOMEN IN ECUADOR WHILE EXTENDING AND DEEPENING CANDIDATE’S RESEARCH SKILLS. IN RESEARCH AIM 1, THE CANDIDATE WILL ASSESS EXPERIENCES OF INTERSECTIONAL DISCRIMINATION (E.G., HIV STIGMA, RACISM, CLASSISM) IN RELATION TO HIV PREVENTION AND CARE THROUGH IN-DEPTH QUALITATIVE INTERVIEWS WITH TRANSGENDER WOMEN (TRAINING AIM 1: APPLICATION OF INTERSECTIONALITY TO QUALITATIVE METHODS). IN RESEARCH AIM 2, THE CANDIDATE WILL CONDUCT A SURVEY TO CHARACTERIZE AND LONGITUDINALLY TEST THE PATHWAYS THAT LINK INTERSECTIONAL DISCRIMINATION WITH HIV PREVENTION AND CARE LINKAGE OUTCOMES OVER A 6-MONTH PERIOD (TRAINING AIM 2: EPIDEMIOLOGICAL METHODS AND LONGITUDINAL QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN). IN RESEARCH AIM 3, THE CANDIDATE WILL IMPLEMENT THE FIRST SIX PHASES OF THE SYSTEMATIC ADAPT-ITT MODEL TO ADAPT AN HIV INTERVENTION FOR TRANSGENDER WOMEN (TRAINING AIM 3: SKILLS FOR INTERVENTION DEVELOPMENT). FINDINGS FROM THIS STUDY AND TRAINING WILL POSITION THE CANDIDATE TO DEVELOP AN R01 PROPOSAL TO IMPLEMENT REMAINING STEPS OF THE ADAPT-ITT MODEL AND CONDUCT A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF THE INTERVENTION (TRAINING AIM 4: GRANT WRITING). AS AN ECUADORIAN NON-BINARY QUEER U.S. IMMIGRANT RESEARCHER, THE CANDIDATE HAS THE CULTURAL AND RESEARCH BACKGROUND TO LEVERAGE THIS PROPOSED K01 TO TRANSITION TO CAREER INDEPENDENCE AND ADDRESS KEY KNOWLEDGE AND INTERVENTION GAPS FOR HIV PREVENTION AND CARE IN ECUADOR.

THE WALKER BASIN CONSERVANCY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, WILL BUILD ON EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS TO FORMALLY ESTABLISH A WALKER RIVER BASIN WATERSHED GROUP. THE GOALS OF THE GROUP ARE TO IDENTIFY LANDSCAPE-SCALE WATERSHED PRIORITIES AND PLAN ACTIONS TO ADDRESS THEM USING A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH THAT FOCUSES ON STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND FINDING MULTI-BENEFIT SOLUTIONS THAT BALANCE ECOLOGICAL AND COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE GROUP WILL MEET THESE GOALS BY: 1. ENGAGING DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS THAT AFFECT AND ARE AFFECTED BY WATER RESOURCES IN THE BASIN, 2. ESTABLISHING GROUP MISSION VISION, BYLAWS, AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, 3. COMPILING DATA CHARACTERIZING THE WATERSHED AND IDENTIFYING ANY DATA GAPS, 4. SYNTHESIZING INFORMATION FROM EXISTING MANAGEMENT PLANS AND FEEDBACK FROM DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY SHARED MANAGEMENT PRIORITIES ACROSS THE WATERSHED, AND 5. PRODUCING AN INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT IDENTIFIES CRITICAL WATERSHED NEEDS AND CLEAR ACTIONS FOR ADDRESSING THEM. THE WALKER BASIN COVERS NEARLY 4,000 SQUARE MILES FROM THE HEADWATERS IN THE SIERRA NEVADA IN CALIFORNIA TO WALKER LAKE IN NEVADA AND SUPPORTS IMPORTANT ECOSYSTEMS, AGRICULTURAL AND TRIBAL COMMUNITIES, AND RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES. THE AREA ALSO PROVIDES CRITICAL HABITAT FOR A VARIETY OF SPECIAL STATUS WILDLIFE. HOWEVER, THE WALKER BASIN FACES SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES, INCLUDING OVER-APPROPRIATION OF WATER RESOURCES, THE ECOLOGICAL COLLAPSE OF WALKER LAKE DUE TO WATER DIVERSIONS, UNSUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER WITHDRAWAL, IMPAIRED WATER QUALITY, AND THE ASSOCIATED STRAIN ON ECOSYSTEMS AND WILDLIFE WHICH IS EXACERBATED BY CLIMATE CHANGE AND WILDFIRES.MANY CRITICAL ISSUES IN THE WALKER RIVER BASIN OPERATE AT THE LANDSCAPE SCALE, ARE COMPLEX, HAVE NO EASY SOLUTION, AND REQUIRE INVESTMENT AND COORDINATION AMONG A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT AND SOMETIMES CONFLICTING PRIORITIES. A CENTRAL GOAL OF FORMING A WATERSHED GROUP IS BRINGING TOGETHER DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS TO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT PRIORITIES ISSUES IN THE WATERSHED AND WORK TOWARDS SOLUTIONS THAT BALANCE MULTIPLE NEEDS AND OBJECTIVES.

MANY FACTORS HAVE AND CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DECLINE OF THE SAGEBRUSH ECOSYSTEM IN THE GREAT BASIN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE INCREASED FREQUENCY, SIZE, AND SEVERITY OF WILDFIRES, ALTERED PRECIPITATION CYCLES DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, LAND CONVERSION, AND THE SPREAD OF INVASIVE SPECIES. THIS HAS PROMPTED THE NEED TO SEED VAST ACREAGES TO TRY AND MITIGATE THE LOSS OF VITAL WILDLIFE HABITAT. WHILE NATIVE SEED FOR RESTORATION HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY AVAILABLE, SEED THAT IS GENETICALLY APPROPRIATE AND ADAPTED TO THE DRY CONDITIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN HAS NOT, AMPLIFYING THE DIFFICULTY IN ACHIEVING SUCCESS RATES ON HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECTS. RESEARCH CONTINUES TO DEMONSTRATE THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL ADAPTATION TO PLANT SURVIVAL. TO DATE, THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH NATIVE PLANT MATERIAL HAS BEEN SCARCE. THERE ARE CURRENTLY VERY FEW PRODUCERS OF NATIVE SEED IN NEVADA PARTLY DUE TO THE DIFFICULTY IN SWITCHING FROM TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURAL CROPS TO NATIVE PLANT OPERATIONS OR TO SPECIES THAT HAVE NO KNOWN PROTOCOLS FOR PROPAGATION AND FARMING AS WELL AS THE LACK OF GENETICALLY APPROPRIATE FOUNDATION SEED AVAILABLE. THIS PROJECT WILL SERVE TWO PURPOSES: (1) INCREASING THE AVAILABILITY OF NATIVE SEEDS AND PLANT MATERIAL FROM ECOTYPES ADAPTED TO DRY CONDITIONS FOR RESTORATION AND (2) REFINING AND DEVELOPING METHODS OF PROCESSING AND INCREASING LOCALLY ADAPTED NATIVE SEED AND SHARING THOSE MATERIALS WITH POTENTIAL NATIVE SEED PRODUCERS.THE CONSERVANCY WILL COLLABORATE WITH THE USFWS AND PARTNERS AT THE NEVADA NATIVE SEED PARTNERSHIP TO DETERMINE TARGET SPECIES BASED ON NEED FOR PRODUCTION FOR RESTORATION AND FOUNDATION SEED AVAILABILITY. THE CONSERVANCY WILL COLLECT SEED FURTHER TO A TOTAL OF AT LEAST 20 DRY ECOTYPE SPECIES POPULATIONS, IMPROVE CAPACITY FOR PROPAGATION AND TRIAL PROPAGATION METHODS (E.G. COLD STRATIFICATION, SCARIFICATION, GERMINATION TEMPERATURE, SOIL TYPE, PLANTING DEPTH, HUMIDITY LEVELS) FOR THESE SPECIES POPULATIONS, CONVERT 5-15 ACRES OF HAY PRODUCTION INTO NATIVE PLANT MATERIAL PRODUCTION ANNUALLY, AND ESTABLISH SHRUB ORCHARDS ON THAT ACREAGE TO ENSURE RELIABLE ADDITIONAL AVAILABILITY OF LOCALLY ADAPTED NATIVE SEED FOR RESTORATION IN THE ARID PORTIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN, WITHOUT CAUSING IMPAIRMENT TO WILDLAND SEED SOURCES, WHICH CAN BE STRESSED BY CLIMATE, WILDFIRE, AND DEVELOPMENT.

THESE FUNDS SUPPORT THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE WALKER RIVER PAIUTE TRIBE'S NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAM. MAJOR ACTIVITIES INCLUDE IMPLEMENTING A SOLAR-POWERED WELL FOR LIVESTOCK, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY REDUCE NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTANT LOADS TO THE TRIBAL WATERS THEREBY IMPROVING THE WATER QUALITY OF THE RESERVATION'S WATERS. THIS ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT PROVIDES FULL FEDERAL FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $130,000.
