POSITIVE IMPACT HEALTH CENTERS WILL BE ABLE TO ENHANCE CURRENT MAT SERVICES BY USING EXTENDED RELEASE INJECTABLE NALTREXONE (VIVITROL). VIVITROL, GIVEN EVERY 28 DAYS, IS AN OPIOID ANTAGONIST THAT BLOCKS THE EFFECTS OF OPIOIDS. INJECTABLE NALTREXONE IS NOT MONITORED BY THE PRESCRIPTION DRUG MONITORING PROGRAM (PDMP) BECAUSE IT IS NOT A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, DOES NOT REQUIRE A DRUG ADDICTION TREATMENT ACT OF 2000 (DATA) WAIVER TO PRESCRIBE AND DISPENSE, AND IT IS LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DIVERSION FOR ILLICIT PURPOSES. THE MAT PROGRAM WILL SERVE UNDUPLICATED PARTICIPANTS OF 50 IN YEAR 1 (BEGINNING 3 MONTHS FOLLOWING GRANT AWARD), AND 75 UNDUPLICATED PARTICIPANTS IN YEARS 2-5. THE MAT PROGRAM WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED WITH COMPREHENSIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT IN GROUP FORMAT; RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES (RSS) SUCH AS PEER SUPPORT IN COMPLETING THE WRAP (AN EBP; WELLNESS RECOVERY ACTION PLAN); INDIVIDUAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING; PSYCHIATRY; AND INCORPORATING TECHNOLOGY (I.E., TELEHEALTH AND A RECOVERY-ORIENTED SMARTPHONE APP). ADDITIONAL SERVICES INCLUDE SCREENING, BRIEF INTERVENTION, REFERRAL TO TREATMENT (SBIRT), A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT USING THE ADDICTION SEVERITY INDEX, TRANSPORTATION, AND HOUSING REFERRALS. BY ENHANCING TREATMENT WITH MOTIVATIONAL ENHANCEMENT THERAPY (AN EBP), THE I MATTER PROJECT WILL ALSO ASSIST PARTICIPANTS IN DECREASING AND/OR ABSTAINING FROM ILLICIT OPIOID USE AT 6-MONTH FOLLOW-UP AND IN REDUCING HIV TRANSMISSION RISKS BY SUSTAINING RECOVERY. AT LEAST 80% OF THE PROJECT PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE A 6- AND 12-MONTH REASSESSMENT INTERVIEW. PARTICIPANTS WILL ENGAGE IN THE CURRENT STATE-LICENSED 9-MONTH DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT PROGRAM AT PIHC, WHICH IS BASED ON THE MATRIX MODEL, AN EBP AND HAS THREE 90-DAY PHASES OF GROUP-LEVEL ENGAGEMENT: INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT.

CONNECTED CARE INITIATIVE: EVIDENCE-BASED INTEGRATION OF MENTAL HEALTH/CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS SERVICES AND PRIMARY CARE SERVICES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH, OR AT RISK OF, HIV - CONNECTED CARE INITIATIVE (CCI) INTEGRATES MENTAL HEALTH (MH) AND CO-OCCURRING DISORDER (COD) TREATMENT WITH HIV/VIRAL HEPATITIS (VH) MEDICAL CARE AND PREVENTION SERVICES, AT POSITIVE IMPACT HEALTH CENTERS, AN AIDS SERVICE ORGANIZATION WITH A 30-YEAR HISTORY IN THE ATLANTA, GA AREA. DURING THE FOUR-YEAR PROJECT, 376 PEOPLE LIVING WITH, AND AT RISK OF, HIV, WILL ENROLL IN EVIDENCE-BASED SERVICES, INCLUDING TRAUMA TREATMENT, PSYCHIATRY, CASE MANAGEMENT, AND PEER SUPPORT. THE MAJORITY OF CONSUMERS WILL BE AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO IDENTIFY AS GAY MEN OR CIS/TRANS WOMEN. THE OVERARCHING GOALS OF THIS INITIATIVE ARE TO: 1) REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF HIV 2) IMPROVE HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE WITH MH/COD. THESE COULD NOT BE MORE CRITICAL THAN IN ATLANTA, WHERE, ACCORDING TO THE CDC, HIV IS 16 TIMES MORE PREVALENT THAN THE US PREVALENCE. SERVICE INTEGRATION IS FIRST KEY TO REACHING THESE GOALS. CCI IMPLEMENTS THE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE (EBP) OF PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH), A FORMAL CARE DELIVERY MODEL THAT PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHEN AND WHERE THEY NEED IT, IN A MANNER THEY CAN UNDERSTAND. MH/COD PROVIDERS, PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, AND CASE MANAGERS ARE ASSIGNED TO CARE TEAMS THAT MEET IN DAILY HUDDLES, AND WEEKLY FOR CASE CONSULTATION, ENSURING THAT CARE IS FULLY COORDINATED TO MEET PATIENT NEEDS. THE MODEL ALSO REQUIRES NON-TRADITIONAL HOURS, WALK-IN SERVICES, AND 24-HOUR EMERGENCY PHONE ACCESS TO PROVIDERS. THE SECOND KEY IS THE PROVISION OF ACCESSIBLE, EVIDENCE-BASED, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE MH/COD TREATMENT. BECAUSE PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV EXPERIENCE POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD) AT UP TO EIGHT TIMES THE GENERAL POPULATION RATE, AND UNTREATED MH/COD CAN LEAD TO RISK BEHAVIOR AND NON-ADHERENCE TO CARE, CCI UTILIZES TWO EBPS TO TREAT TRAUMA: COGNITIVE PROCESSING THERAPY (CPT), EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING (EMDR). CCI ALSO PROVIDES PEER SUPPORT UTILIZING THE WELLNESS RECOVERY ACTION PLAN (WRAP). CCI CONSUMERS CAN ACCESS THE AGENCY'S WRAP-AROUND SERVICES THAT INCLUDE PSYCHIATRY, MEDICATION CO-PAY ASSISTANCE, CASE MANAGEMENT, HIV/VH TESTING, VH VACCINATION/TREATMENT, A LICENSED INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAM, AND MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT FOR OPIOID USE. THE THIRD KEY IS TO REACH THOSE MOST AT NEED OF SERVICES, INCLUDING THE 29% OF PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV IN ATLANTA WHO ARE NOT IN HIV CARE. CCI DOES THIS THROUGH A SUCCESSFUL PREVENTION STRATEGY: GEO-FENCED SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTISEMENTS THAT ARE PUSHED WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN SPECIFIC LOCATIONS (SEX CLUBS, GAY BARS, AND BALLROOM SCENE EVENTS). IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE STRATEGIES RESULTS IN MORE INDIVIDUALS RECOVERING FROM MH/COD ISSUES, REDUCING HIV RISK BEHAVIOR AND, REDUCING LAPSES IN CARE.

X-REALITY (XR), WHICH INCLUDES AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY (AR AND VR), HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RESHAPE THE APPROACH TECHNICIAN EDUCATION. THIS COLLABORATIVE PROJECT (KONNECTXR) WILL DEVELOP AN ENTERPRISE-LEVEL PLATFORM OPTIMIZED FOR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO EDUCATORS ACROSS THE NATION. KONNECTXR WILL BRIDGE CONNECTING TRADITIONAL LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (LMS) WITH THE IMMERSIVE WORLD OF XR. BY INCORPORATING SINGLE-SIGN ON (SSO) CAPABILITIES, THE PLATFORM WILL ALLOW INSTRUCTORS AND STUDENTS TO TRANSITION SMOOTHLY BETWEEN THEIR LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS) AND INDIVIDUAL OR COLLABORATIVE XR ENVIRONMENTS AND WILL MIMIC MOVING BETWEEN CLASSROOMS AND LABS IN A PHYSICAL SCHOOL. A FOCUS ON FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)-COMPLIANT ENCRYPTION WILL ADDRESS THE CRITICAL NEED FOR DATA SECURITY IN AN INCREASINGLY DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL SPHERE. THE PROJECT GOALS ADDRESS THE NEED TO IMPROVE TECHNICIAN EDUCATION THROUGH ACCELERATED INTEGRATION OF XR TECHNOLOGY INTO THE TECHNICIAN CLASSROOM. FOUR GOALS GUIDE THE PROJECT TEAM. FIRST, IS TO INTEGRATE SINGLE SIGN-ON (SSO) CAPABILITIES WITH FERPA-COMPLIANT ENCRYPTION THAT IMPLEMENTS LEARNING TOOLS INTEROPERABILITY (LTI) PROTOCOL 1.3 TO ENABLE SEAMLESS LMS INTEROPERABILITY, WITH TESTING AGAINST BLACKBOARD, CANVAS, AND D2L BRIGHTSPACE. SECOND, IS TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE A MULTI-USER NETWORKING FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT AT LEAST 50 SIMULTANEOUS USERS WITH SUB-25MS LATENCY. THIRD, IS TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT SIX XR LAB EXPERIENCES IN FOUR ATE DOMAINS THAT INCORPORATE UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING (UDL) PRINCIPLES, PLUS SIX ACCOMPANYING TUTORIALS AND ASSOCIATED INSTRUCTOR IMPLEMENTATION RESOURCES. FOURTH, IS TO CONDUCT USER EXPERIENCE RESEARCH STUDIES WITH 30 INSTRUCTORS AND 100 STUDENTS TO ANALYZE EFFECTIVENESS AND REFINE THE DESIGN TO MAXIMIZE ACCESSIBILITY AND ADOPTION. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON THE EDUCATION OF TECHNICIANS FOR THE ADVANCED-TECHNOLOGY FIELDS THAT DRIVE THE NATION'S ECONOMY.

POSE: PHASE II: EXPANSION AND ADOPTION OF IMPACT ALLIES CLEAN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT OSE -THIS PATHWAYS TO ENABLE OPEN-SOURCE ECOSYSTEMS (POSE) PROJECT IS FOCUSED ON HIGH DEMAND, WIDELY AVAILABLE, LEARNING RESOURCES IN EMERGING FIELDS SUCH AS DATASETS, LAB EQUIPMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL TOOLS. THIS PROJECT BUILDS UPON THE IMPACT ALLIES RENEWABLE ENERGY (RE) OPEN-SOURCE ECOSYSTEM (OSE), WHICH WAS DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND RESEARCHERS IN THEIR WORK WITH ENERGY SYSTEMS. THE RE OSE OFFERS FREE, EASY-TO-USE SOFTWARE, TUTORIALS, HARDWARE SCHEMATICS, AND REAL-TIME DATA. PREVIOUSLY, THESE RESOURCES WERE EITHER TOO EXPENSIVE OR RESTRICTED TO LARGE COMPANIES, LIMITING ADOPTION IN K-12 AND HIGHER EDUCATION. BY OFFERING FREE OR LOW-COST ALTERNATIVES, THE PLATFORM HELPS SCHOOLS PREPARE STUDENTS FOR CAREERS IN FIELDS CRUCIAL FOR THE GROWTH OF THE U.S. WORKFORCE. ACCESS TO ITS LIVE DATA SETS ALSO ENABLES RESEARCH THAT WAS ONCE ONLY POSSIBLE IN CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTS TO BE CONDUCTED AT UNIVERSITIES. THE RE OSE HAS EXPANDED TO ENCOMPASS OVER 30 RESOURCES UTILIZED BY MORE THAN 80 SCHOOLS AND IS SUPPORTED BY MAJOR ENERGY AND MANUFACTURING COMPANIES. THIS PROJECT EXPANDS THE REACH OF THE RE OSE INTO ADDITIONAL HIGH-DEMAND AREAS, INCLUDING MANUFACTURING, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, AND EMERGING ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES. THE PROJECT ALSO EXPANDS CAPACITY FOR TEACHER TRAINING, PROVIDES ADDITIONAL VALUABLE DATA FOR RESEARCH, AND INCREASES ACCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS TO CAREER PATHWAYS THAT STRENGTHEN THE U.S. TECHNICAL WORKFORCE. THIS POSE PROJECT BUILDS UPON THE SUCCESSFUL RE OSE PLATFORM THAT ADDRESSED GAPS IN EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, AND DATASETS FOR ENERGY EDUCATION. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO EXPAND THE OSE TO INCREASE CONSUMER ADOPTION, ADD PRODUCTS, AND SUPPORT ACADEMIC TEACHING AND RESEARCH IN HIGH-DEMAND TECHNICAL FIELDS. PRIOR TO RE OSE, CONSUMERS, RESEARCHERS, AND EDUCATORS INTERESTED IN ADDING ENERGY ASSETS HAD NEITHER OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE NOR HARDWARE TO CONTROL, CONNECT, AND MODIFY SYSTEMS, NOR FREE ACCESS TO LARGE OPEN DATA SETS TO ANALYZE VARIABLES AFFECTING SOLUTIONS. THIS GAP STALLED ADOPTION, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH. RE OSE ADDRESSES THE CHALLENGES THROUGH AN INTUITIVE, OPEN-SOURCE ECOSYSTEM FOR ENERGY EDUCATION, WHICH WILL BE EXPANDED TO MANUFACTURING, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, AND EMERGING ENERGY FIELDS. THE OSE PLATFORM WILL BE ENHANCED WITH BROADER FUNCTIONALITY, AND THE GOVERNANCE MODEL WILL FOCUS ON QUALITY CONTROL, CYBERSECURITY, AND LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE. KEY TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: 1) ADDING OPEN-SOURCE HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, AND EDUCATIONAL CONTENT; 2) INCREASING THE SIZE OF REAL-TIME DATA SETS; AND 3) BUILDING THE USER BASE. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL DRIVE ADOPTION AND CONTRIBUTIONS. THIS EFFORT SUPPORTS SCALABLE GROWTH IN KEY TECHNICAL FIELDS AND STRENGTHENS THE U.S. WORKFORCE IN TECHNOLOGY AND DATA SCIENCE.
