CRT EXPANDED MAT - COMMUNITY RENEWAL TEAM, INC. (CRT) PROPOSES TO EXPAND AND ENHANCE ITS CURRENT MAT PROGRAM FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) WITH THE FOLLOWING AIMS 1) TARGET TWO HIGH-NEED POPULATIONS – EX-OFFENDERS AND THE HOMELESS OR UNSTABLY HOUSED; 2) ADD TWO FDA-APPROVED MEDICATIONS (SUBLOCADE AND METHADONE; 3) LAUNCH A MOBILE MAT CLINIC; AND 4) ADD CONTINGENCY MANAGEMENT (CM). CLIENTS PRIMARILY WILL BE RESIDENTS OF HARTFORD COUNTY, CT. CONNECTICUT RANKS 6TH IN THE NATION FOR PREVALENCE OF FATAL OPIOID OVERDOSES. OVER THE FIVE YEARS OF THE GRANT, CRT, CONNECTICUT’S LARGEST AND OLDEST COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY, WILL ENROLL 450 INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD – PRIMARILY PEOPLE WITH HISTORIES OF INCARCERATION AND/OR HOMELESSNESS. THESE TWO HARD-TO-REACH SUBPOPULATIONS WERE SELECTED DUE TO THEIR INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF USING AND DYING FROM OPIOIDS. STATE DATA ANALYSTS HAVE FOUND THAT OVER ONE-HALF OF DEATHS FROM OPIOID OVERDOSE IN CT ARE AMONG INDIVIDUALS WITH HISTORIES OF INCARCERATION AND A 2019 BOSTON-BASED STUDY FOUND THAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WERE NINE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM AN OVERDOSE THAN THOSE WHO WERE STABLY HOUSED. OUR PROPOSED CRT EXPANDED MAT PROGRAM WILL BUILD UPON OUR CURRENT INITIATIVE WHICH IS IN THE 95% PERCENTILE OF ITS MAT COHORT FOR ENROLLMENT AND FOLLOW-UP MEASUREMENTS. RETENTION HAS BEEN OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE PRIMARILY DUE TO REMAND RATES AMONG EX-OFFENDERS AND THEIR HIGH INCIDENCE OF HOUSING INSTABILITY. THE INCLUSION OF CM TO ADDRESS GROUPS WITH POOR ADHERENCE COUPLED WITH OUR RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES (RSS), PROVIDED IN-HOUSE OR THROUGH OUR MANY PARTNERSHIPS, WILL DIRECTLY TACKLE THESE RETENTION ISSUES. SUCH RSS SERVICES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, PEER SUPPORT, TESTING FOR HIV AND HEP C, AND TOBACCO CESSATION. CRT EMPHASIZES CULTURALLY SENSITIVE CARE AND OFFERS NUMEROUS EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES AND VALIDATED ASSESSMENT TOOLS AS WELL AS STAFF DIVERSITY. WE STRIVE TO BE RESPONSIVE TO LANGUAGE BARRIERS – OUR STAFF INCLUDES INDIVIDUALS FLUENT IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, MANDARIN, CAMBODIAN, VIETNAMESE AS WELL AS CREOLE AND AKAN). OVER THIS 5-YEAR GRANT, CRT WILL ENROLL 450 PARTICIPANTS (65 IN YEAR 1, 85 IN YEAR 2, 100/YEAR THEREAFTER), A MINIMUM OF 70% WILL BE DRAWN FROM ONE OF OUR TARGET SUBPOPULATIONS. OUR GOALS FOR THE PROGRAM INCLUDE A DECREASE IN OPIOID USE IN THE COMMUNITY BY INCREASING ACCESS TO MAT AND RSS, INCREASING ACCESS TO ALL MAT OPTIONS AND RSS, AS WELL AS A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF A MOBILE MAT CLINIC AND CM. OBJECTIVES WILL INCLUDE PROGRAM RETENTION AND MEDICATION ADHERENCE THROUGH 6-MONTH POST-INTAKE. WE WILL ALSO MONITOR: (1) REFERRAL AND UPTAKE RATES OF SERVICES FOR RSS (E.G., HIV/HEP C TESTING, HOUSING SERVICES, TOBACCO CESSATION) AND (2) DECREASE IN ILLICIT OPIOID USE AS EVIDENCED BY SELF-REPORT AND URINE TOXICOLOGY

HIV AIDS RISK PROGRAM (HARP) - COMMUNITY RENEWAL TEAM, INC. (CRT), A CENTRAL CT-BASED COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY, SEEKS TO START ITS HARTFORD-BASED HIV AIDS RISK PROGRAM (HARP). ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH SUBSTANCE USE OR CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS WHO ARE AT HIGH RISK OF CONTRACTING HIV WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR HARP. THERE WILL BE A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON LOW-INCOME BLACK COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WITHIN THIS COHORT, SPECIAL EMPHASIS WILL BE PLACED ON RECRUITING GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN, MEN AND WOMEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18-30, HOMELESS ADULTS, HOMELESS OR UNSTABLY HOUSED YOUTH (18-24) AND TRANSGENDER WOMEN. PER THE CDC, THE CT DEPT. OF PUBLIC HEALTH, AND THE HARTFORD TRANSITIONAL GRANT AREA (TGA), THESE 5 POPULATIONS HAVE HIV PREVALENCE RATES AND HIV NEW DIAGNOSES SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN OTHER GROUPS. IN ADDITION, OPIOID DEATHS HAVE SKYROCKETED IN THE HARTFORD AREA, WITH BLACK MEN HAVING THE HIGHEST MORTALITY RATE (UP TO 70% OF THE UNINTENTIONAL OVERDOSE DEATHS IN 2021). SUCH STATISTICS HAVE LED EXPERTS IN THE FIELD TO BE CONCERNED THAT THE GAINS MADE IN DECREASING NEW CASES OF HIV WILL BE REVERSED. HARP WILL WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS AT HIGH RISK OF CONTRACTING HIV AND THOSE WHO ARE HIV+ (INCLUDING THOSE DEEMED "LOST TO CARE"). THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS INITIATIVE WILL BE TO DECREASE THE SPREAD OF HIV AND KEEP INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN CARE. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL, CRT'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES (BHS) DIVISION WILL UTILIZE NUMEROUS EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS, SUCH AS COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING, CONTINGENCY MANAGEMENT, AND MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) DURING THE GRANT PERIOD, HARP STAFF WILL REACH OUT TO A MINIMUM OF 1,000 HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUALS AND ENROLL 250, OF WHOM AT LEAST 50% WILL BE BLACK. WE WILL DO EXTENSIVE IN-REACH THROUGH OUR ADULT AND YOUTH HOMELESS SERVICES AND OUR RYAN WHITE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM. THESE, PLUS OUR SAMHSA-FUNDED MAT INITIATIVE, OUR CONTRACT WITH THE LEO PRIMARY CARE CLINIC (WHICH PROVIDES ITS SERVICES TWO DAYS PER WEEK AT CRT SITES), AN IN-HOUSE PHARMACY, AND THE AGENCY'S MANY ANCILLARY SERVICES, WILL BE MAJOR RESOURCES FOR HARP CLIENTELE. OVER OUR HISTORY, CRT HAS ALSO ESTABLISHED OVER 300 PARTNERSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS IN CENTRAL CT, INCLUDING THE HARTFORD AREA HIV/AIDS PLANNING COUNCIL, THE GREATER HARTFORD AREA COORDINATED ACCESS NETWORK FOR THE HOMELESS, AND THE YOUTH ENGAGEMENT TEAM INITIATIVE. WE WILL RECRUIT THESE AND OTHER PARTNERS TO SERVE ON OUR HARP ADVISORY BOARD, WHICH WILL INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE. OUR PROJECT DIRECTOR HAS LIVED EXPERIENCE. WE WILL HIRE A PROGRAM MANAGER AND TWO PEER SUPPORT SPECIALISTS. THE BHS DIVISION WILL SEEK OUT EMPLOYEES WHO BLACK, MALE, IN RECOVERY, AND/OR ARE HIV+. THIS NEW PERSONNEL WILL ADD FURTHER DIVERSITY TO A DEPARTMENTAL STAFF THAT CURRENTLY HAS OVER 50% PEOPLE OF COLOR AND 1/3 WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE.

SBIR PHASE II: ION OPTICS OPTIMIZED FOR NANOSCALE STIGMATIC IMAGING -THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH PHASE II PROJECT WILL PURSUE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENABLING TECHNOLOGY FOR A FUNDAMENTALLY NEW IMAGING MASS SPECTROMETER CONCEPT. FROM BASIC SCIENCE TO LARGE INDUSTRIES LIKE ENERGY AND SEMICONDUCTORS, BETTER MICROSCOPIES YIELD MORE EFFICIENT AND INSIGHTFUL WORK. THROUGHOUT HISTORY THE LENGTH SCALES OF HUMAN UNDERSTANDING HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY TIED TO THE MICROSCOPES AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. IMAGING MASS SPECTROMETERS HAVE BROAD USE, BUT THE INITIAL PRODUCT TO BE DEVELOPED WILL FOCUS ON PROBLEMS IN MATERIALS SCIENCE. THE HALF-BILLION-DOLLAR CONTEMPORARY MARKET FOR MICROSCOPES THAT ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS INCLUDES BOTH ELECTRON MICROSCOPE AND MASS SPECTROMETER APPROACHES. WITH A PRODUCT BASED ON THE TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPED IN THIS PROJECT, IT IS ENVISIONED THAT A VIABLE PRODUCT WILL BE REALIZED WITHIN A YEAR OF PROJECT COMPLETION. A 10-14% MARKET CAPTURE IS PREDICTED WITHIN THE FIRST SIX YEARS THEREAFTER. THE IMPACT OF THIS IMPROVED IMAGING INSTRUMENT ON THE U.S. ECONOMY WILL ALSO INCLUDE SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS OF FINANCIAL AND MATERIAL RESOURCES FROM FASTER PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND REDUCED DOWNTIME IN AFFECTED INDUSTRIES. THESE LATTER SOCIETAL/ECONOMIC BENEFITS ARE BROAD AND ARE VALUED AT MANY TIMES THE DIRECT ECONOMIC IMPACT. THE INTELLECTUAL MERIT OF THIS PROJECT LIES IN A NEW CONCEPT FOR ION OPTICS THAT ARE USED TO IMAGE THE IONS THAT COME FROM AN IMAGING MASS SPECTROMETRY SAMPLE. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS PARTICULARLY VALUABLE FOR IMAGING SAMPLES THAT REQUIRE A COMBINATION OF A LARGE FIELD-OF-VIEW, HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION AND HIGH-MASS RESOLUTION. THIS TECHNOLOGY ALSO ENABLES USE OF A CLASS OF VERY FAST IMAGING DETECTORS, WHICH IN TURN ALLOWS THEM TO OBSERVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SAMPLE MATERIAL AND QUANTIFY VERY SMALL CONCENTRATIONS. THIS DIRECTLY BENEFITS SEVERAL IMPORTANT AND VEXING PROBLEMS, E.G., IMAGING SMALL SEMICONDUCTOR DOPANT CONCENTRATIONS OR INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF HYDROGEN AND LITHIUM IN ENERGY MATERIALS. TO DATE, ELECTRON MICROSCOPY SOLUTIONS HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH THE MEASUREMENT OF THESE LOW-Z ELEMENTS, AND IMAGING MASS SPECTROMETRY METHODS HAVE STRUGGLED TO ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED COMBINATION OF SPATIAL RESOLUTION AND QUANTIFICATION ACCURACY. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE METHOD OF MAKING ION LENS ELEMENTS THAT SUPPORT THE EXTREMELY HIGH ELECTRIC FIELDS NEEDED TO GENERATE THE FIELDS-OF-VIEW AND HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION REQUIRED, AND TO SHOW THAT THESE COMPONENTS DO NOT FAIL BECAUSE OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE AND DAMAGE. SUCCESS IN DOING SO WOULD ENABLE RAPID COMMERCIAL INTRODUCTION OF THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY. 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 PRIMARY GOAL OF TM2K'S PEER RECOVERY INITIATIVE IS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR THE 45+MINORITY HIV+ CONSUMERS WITH S/A OR CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS. WE PLAN TO SERVE 200 CONSUMERS OVER 3 YEARS. - TEAM MANAGEMENT 2000, INC., A COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER, WILL IMPLEMENT THE PEER RECOVERY IMITATIVE TO IMPLEMENT PEER RECOVERY SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH HIV WHO HAVE SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND/OR MENTAL ILLNESS, WITH A FOCUS ON THE GROWING POPULATION OF OLDER ADULTS, INDIVIDUALS 45 YEARS OLD AND OLDER. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR OLDER HIV+ INDIVIDUALS WITH SUBSTANCE USE AND/OR CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS, INCLUDING ABSTINENCE, EMPLOYMENT, HEALTH, VIRAL SUPPRESSION, REDUCTION IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT, AND SOCIAL CONNECTIONS, THROUGH THE PROVISION OF NEW PEER SUPPORT SERVICES. WE ANTICIPATE SERVING 200 INDIVIDUALS OVER THE COURSE OF THE THREE-YEAR GRANT. FOR THIS PROJECT, WE ANTICIPATE 85% WILL BE MINORITY. WE ANTICIPATE 55% OF CLIENTS WILL BE HOMELESS OR UNSTABLY HOUSED. 80% WILL BE LOW INCOME. WE ANTICIPATE AT LEAST 60% OF THE CLIENTS BEING AGE 45 OR OLDER. WE EXPECT 75% TO BE DUALLY DIAGNOSED, WITH PRIMARY DIAGNOSES BEING ALCOHOL, COCAINE, AND OPIATE USE DISORDER, ALONG WITH MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER, BIPOLAR DISORDER, ANXIETY DISORDERS, AND SCHIZOPHRENIA. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT GAPS IN SERVICES FOR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD), MENTAL ILLNESS AND HIV IN NEW JERSEY. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC EXACERBATED THOSE GAPS, AS PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) AND SUD HAVE INCREASED ILLICIT SUBSTANCE USE AND CONTACT WITH OTHER SUBSTANCE-USING INDIVIDUALS AND DECREASED THEIR CONFIDENCE TO STAY SOBER AND ATTEND RECOVERY MEETINGS. HIV MEDICATION AND FOLLOW UP COMPLIANCE HAS ALSO DECREASED DURING THE PANDEMIC. OLDER ADULTS LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS (WHOSE NUMBER ARE INCREASING) HAVE BEEN PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE DURING THE PANDEMIC. A MAJOR BARRIER TO THESE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING SERVICES HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS STIGMA. PEER SUPPORT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO REDUCE STIGMA, AS WELL AS TO REDUCE HOSPITALIZATIONS AND OVERALL COSTS. PEER SUPPORT FURTHER IMPROVES OUTCOMES BY IMPROVING SOCIAL FUNCTIONING, QUALIFY OF LIFE, TREATMENT COMPLIANCE, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. BY SHARING THEIR OWN LIVED EXPERIENCE AND PRACTICAL GUIDANCE, PEER WORKERS HELP PEOPLE TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN GOALS, CREATE STRATEGIES FOR SELF-EMPOWERMENT, AND TAKE CONCRETE STEPS TOWARDS BUILDING SELF-DETERMINED LIVES. IMPLEMENTING ACTIVE PEER SUPPORT WILL IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR THESE AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS. COMPREHENSIVE EVIDENCE-BASED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT AND CASE MANAGEMENT WILL ENSURE CLIENTS HAVE NEEDED RESOURCES FOR SUSTAINED RECOVERY. THIS PROJECT WILL RECRUIT AND ENGAGE DIVERSE PEOPLE IN CARE, SCREEN INDIVIDUALS FOR SUD AND/OR COD. TM2K WILL IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE INCLUSIVE AND USED TO RECRUIT AND ENSURE THOSE WITH THE GREATEST NEED ARE BEING SERVED. TM2K WILL PROVIDE EVIDENCE-BASED AND POPULATION APPROPRIATE HARM REDUCTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY APPROACHES TO MEET THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF DIVERSE POPULATIONS. THESE WILL INCLUDE MEDICATIONS FOR SUD, OUTPATIENT DAY TREATMENT (INCLUDING OUTREACH-BASED SERVICES), INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES. RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES WILL INCLUDE VOCATIONAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE ACCESS AND RETENTION. TM2K WILL COLLABORATE WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS NOTED BELOW THAT ARE TRAINED AND CAN SERVE DIVERSE POPULATIONS TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES.
