THE COMPLEX TRAUMA TREATMENT INITIATIVE (CTTI) AT ADELPHI UNIVERSITY?S INSTITUTE FOR ADOLESCENT TRAUMA TREATMENT & TRAINING WILL TRAIN PROVIDERS IN COMPLEX TRAUMA TO DELIVER SERVICES TO DIVERSE YOUTH - DRAWING UPON THE EXPERTISE OF 5 OF THE COUNTRY’S LEADING COMPLEX TRAUMA TREATMENT DEVELOPERS, THE COMPLEX TRAUMA TREATMENT INITIATIVE (CTTI) AT ADELPHI UNIVERSITY’S INSTITUTE FOR ADOLESCENT TRAUMA TREATMENT & TRAINING WILL 1) INTENSIVELY TRAIN MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROVIDERS TO IMPLEMENT AND DELIVER EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEX TRAUMA TREATMENTS TO CULTURALLY, ETHNICALLY, AND RACIALLY DIVERSE JUSTICE-INVOLVED YOUTH (JIY), REFUGEE/ASYLUM-SEEKING MINORS (RASM), AND TRAUMA-EXPOSED YOUTH IN URBAN AND RURAL HIGH-RISK SCHOOLS, 2) ADAPT EXISTING INTERVENTIONS AND DEVELOP INNOVATIVE AND SPECIALIZED MULTI-MEDIA RESOURCES (E.G. YOUTH-LED VIDEOS, WEB-BASED AND IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS) FOR RASM AND JIY, AND 3) PROMOTE SUSTAINABILITY OF THESE PRACTICES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT AND REFINEMENT OF PROCESSES AND PROTOCOLS (INCLUDING CLINICIAN CERTIFICATION AND CREATION OF INTERNAL AND NATIONAL TRAINING TEAMS) TO EMBED INTERVENTIONS WITHIN CHILD-SERVING SYSTEMS. IT IS WELL-ESTABLISHED THAT HIGH LEVELS OF TRAUMA EXPOSURE PLACE YOUTH AT GREATER RISK FOR ACADEMIC FAILURE AND INCARCERATION, YET DESPITE DOCUMENTED FINDINGS THAT JIY, RASM, AND YOUTH IN RURAL AND URBAN HIGH POVERTY AREAS ARE AMONG THE MOST TRAUMA-EXPOSED, MANY OF THESE YOUTH DO NOT RECEIVE ANY TRAUMA-SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS. WITH ONLY 12 (OF MORE THAN 115) CURRENT NCTSN CENTERS WORKING WITH REFUGEES, AND FEWER THAN 20% FOCUSING ON JIY IN ANY CAPACITY, THE CTTI FILLS AN IMPORTANT GAP IN SERVING THESE VULNERABLE GROUPS OF HIGHLY TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. THE CTTI WILL HAVE A NATIONAL REACH THROUGH COLLABORATIONS WITH MORE THAN 20 IDENTIFIED PARTNERS, INCLUDING EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS, STATE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEMS, COMMUNITY AGENCIES, AND THE WORLD’S LARGEST ORGANIZATION SERVING REFUGEES. TARGETING PARTNERSHIPS IN 9 OF 10 SAMHSA DESIGNATED REGIONS, THE CTTI WILL WORK TO CLOSE THE GAP FOR BIPOC YOUTH AND YOUTH IN MORE RURAL AREAS OF THE COUNTRY THAT HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN UNDERSERVED WITH LITTLE TO NO NCTSN PRESENCE. RELYING UPON IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE AND LEARNING COLLABORATIVE METHODOLOGY, THE CTTI WILL INTENSIVELY TRAIN PARTNERS IN INTERVENTIONS THAT 1) WERE DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY TO AMELIORATE THE SEQUELAE OF INTENSE, ONGOING AND/OR MULTIPLE FORMS OF TRAUMA (I.E. COMPLEX TRAUMA), AND 2) HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS COMPLEX TRAUMA TREATMENTS BY THE NCTSN: A) STRUCTURED PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ADOLESCENTS RESPONDING TO CHRONIC STRESS (SPARCS), B) REAL LIFE HEROES, C) TRAUMA ADAPTED FAMILY CONNECTIONS, D) INTEGRATIVE TREATMENT OF COMPLEX TRAUMA, AND E) ATTACHMENT, REGULATION, AND COMPETENCY (ARC). FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE NCTSN 5 ESTABLISHED COMPLEX TRAUMA TREATMENTS WILL BE JOINED TOGETHER IN ONE INITIATIVE, THEREBY ENABLING A “MAPPING” OF MODELS ACROSS VARIOUS SELECTION CRITERIA THAT WILL ALLOW CTTI STAFF AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO SELECT THE “BEST FIT” MODEL FOR EACH AGENCY. OVER 5 YEARS, THE CTTI WILL ADAPT AND DEVELOP SPECIALIZED RESOURCES (INCLUDING SPANISH TRANSLATIONS), AND PROVIDE BOTH INTENSIVE AND BROAD-BASED TRAINING TO MORE THAN 10,800 MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PROVIDERS, EXTENDING THE DELIVERY OF EVIDENCE-BASED TRAUMA-SPECIFIC PRACTICES AND IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TRAUMATIZED YOUTH NATIONALLY.

ADELPHI UNIVERSITY COMPLEX TRAUMA TRAINING CONSORTIUM IS A NATIONAL TRAINING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE THAT WILL ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE LOCAL EXPERTISE IN COMPLEX TRAUMA IN ALL 50 STATES. - THE COMPLEX TRAUMA TRAINING CONSORTIUM (CTTC) IS A NATIONAL-TRAINER TRAINING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE THAT WILL ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE LOCAL EXPERTISE IN COMPLEX TRAUMA UNDERSTANDING, ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT WITHIN EACH OF THE 50 US STATES, THE 5 TERRITORIES, DC, AND THE FOUR LARGEST US METROPOLITAN AREAS, INCREASING ACCESS TO CHILD TRAUMA RESOURCES AND ADDRESSING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISPARITIES IN UNDERSERVED AREAS WITH HISTORICALLY LIMITED NCTSN PRESENCE. THE CTTC WILL ESTABLISH A SELF-SUSTAINABLE NATIONAL NETWORK COMPRISED OF OVER 200 LOCAL STATE AND TERRITORY BASED EXPERT COMPLEX TRAUMA TRAINERS ACROSS 60 AFFILIATE ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE, RESOLVING LONGSTANDING GEOGRAPHICAL INEQUITY IN DISTRIBUTION OF NCTSN RESOURCES, PARTICULARLY TO MIDWESTERN STATES, US TERRITORIES AND MORE RURAL AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. CTTC TRAINERS WILL RECEIVE INTENSIVE TRAINER-TRAINING IN A 20 MODULE, 40-HOUR COMPLEX TRAUMA TRAINING CURRICULUM COMPRISED COVERING A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF TOPICS THAT ADDRESS MAJOR KNOWLEDGE GAPS IN THE FIELD OF CHILD AND FAMILY TRAUMA INTERVENTION, INCLUDING THE INTERSECTION OF COMPLEX TRAUMA WITH ADVERSE LIFE EXPERIENCES SUCH AS HISTORICAL AND ANCESTRAL TRAUMA, SYSTEMIC RACISM, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE THAT POSE MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH IMPLICATIONS FOR VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES SUCH AS IMMIGRANTS, LGBTQ+ YOUTH AND FAMILIES, AND BIPOC. AS PART OF THE CTTC’S IMPLEMENTATION-SCIENCE-DRIVEN TRAINER-TRAINING PROCESS, TRAINERS WILL ENGAGE IN EXTENSIVE TEACH-BACKS AND FIDELITY EVALUATION WITH BOTH THE CURRICULUM DEVELOPERS AND SENIOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANTS ASSIGNED TO EACH AFFILIATE SITE. THE 200+ TRAINERS IN TRAINING WILL EACH SUBSEQUENTLY CONDUCT AT LEAST 5 LOCAL REMOTE OR IN-PERSON TRAININGS ON THE CTTC CURRICULUM OFFERED TO MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROVIDERS WORKING ACROSS THE SOCIAL SERVICES CONTINUUM IN EACH STATE, TERRITORY, DISTRICT, OR METROPOLITAN HUB, WITH EMPHASIS ON CHILD MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS, SCHOOLS, CHILD WELFARE, JUVENILE JUSTICE, RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTERS, FOSTER CARE PROGRAMS, AND HOMELESS SHELTERS, IN ADDITION TO HOSPITALS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS, COURT PERSONNEL, CLERGY, VICTIM ADVOCATES, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND FAMILY/CONSUMER GROUPS. CTTC WILL ACHIEVE A MINIMUM OF 1,000 TRAINING EVENTS OVER THE 5-YEAR CYCLE OF THIS GRANT. THE CTTC WILL DELIVER TRAINING TO WELL IN EXCESS OF 25,000 PROVIDERS ACROSS EVERY US STATE AND TERRITORY AND WILL THEREBY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAUMA-FOCUSED WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ON A NATIONAL SCALE. THE CTTC IS THE CULMINATION OF THE COMPLEX TRAUMA TREATMENT NETWORK, A CATEGORY II NCTSN CENTER THAT BETWEEN 2009 AND 2021 CONDUCTED OVER FOUR DOZEN REGIONAL TRAUMA-INFORMED SYSTEMS ENHANCEMENT AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE (EBP) DISSEMINATION LEARNING COMMUNITIES SPANNING 46 US STATES AND TERRITORIES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OVER 5,000 ORGANIZATIONS, DELIVERING OVER 7,000 HOURS INTENSIVE TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO 117,502 MULTIDISCIPLINARY NATIONWIDE. THE CTTC IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ADELPHI, ALASKA BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, THE FOUNDATION TRUST, AND U CHICAGO, AND IS COMPRISED OF A FACULTY OF OVER TWO DOZEN EBP DEVELOPERS, TRAINERS AND ORGANIZATIONAL CONSULTANTS THAT IS AS UNPARALLELED IN ITS SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE AS IT IS IN ITS RACIAL, CULTURAL, AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY

ENSURING STEM STUDENT SUCCESS THROUGH AN INTEGRATIVE SUPPORT PROGRAM -THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE NATIONAL NEED FOR WELL-EDUCATED SCIENTISTS, MATHEMATICIANS, ENGINEERS, AND TECHNICIANS BY SUPPORTING THE RETENTION AND GRADUATION OF HIGH-ACHIEVING, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED AT ADELPHI UNIVERSITY (AU).

IDENTIFYING SOCIAL COMPUTATIONAL PHENOTYPES IN MENTAL HEALTH - PROJECT SUMMARY THE ABILITY TO LEARN ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND MAKE SOCIAL DECISIONS IS CRITICAL FOR SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATING OUR COMPLEX SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE CAN BE SEVERE (E.G., LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT, DAMAGE TO RELATIONSHIPS, ETC.). IMPAIRMENT IN THE SOCIAL PROCESSES THAT SUPPORT THIS ABILITY IS A KEY COMPONENT OF DYSFUNCTION ACROSS MANY MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN A LACK OF SYSTEMATIC, DATA-DRIVEN RESEARCH ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIO-COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT AND MENTAL ILLNESS. MOREOVER, WHAT RESEARCH EXISTS HAS BEEN LIMITED IN THE SOCIAL PROCESSES IT SURVEYS, DISORDER-FOCUSED, AND POPULATION-SPECIFIC, IN CONTRAST TO EFFORTS TO RECONSTRUE MENTAL HEALTH WITHIN A MULTIDIMENSIONAL SET OF TRANSDIAGNOSTIC SPECTRA (E.G., THE NIMH RESEARCH DOMAIN CRITERIA; RDOC, AND THE HIERARCHICAL TAXONOMY OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY; HITOP). COMPUTATIONAL PSYCHIATRY HAS HAD GREAT SUCCESS USING COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES TO DECOMPOSE BEHAVIORAL INDICATORS OF MENTAL DISORDER INTO THEIR COMPONENT PROCESSES AND IDENTIFY COMPUTATIONAL PHENOTYPES. HOWEVER, THIS RESEARCH HAS FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON NONSOCIAL LEARNING AND DECISION-MAKING COMPUTATIONS. A CRITICAL NEXT STEP IS THE SYSTEMATIC DATA-DRIVEN EXPLORATION OF HOW MENTAL HEALTH SPECTRA MAP ONTO SOCIAL COMPUTATIONAL PHENOTYPES. USING LARGE-SCALE DATA-DRIVEN APPROACHES IN COMBINATION WITH BEHAVIORAL, COMPUTATIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT, AND NEUROIMAGING (FMRI) METHODS IN HEALTHY ADULTS (AGES 18-35), WE WILL SYSTEMATICALLY INVESTIGATE THE SOCIAL-COGNITIVE ASPECTS OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN MENTAL HEALTH WITH THE GOAL OF IDENTIFYING SOCIAL COMPUTATIONAL PHENOTYPES (SCPS) THAT CORRESPOND TO DISTINCT TRANSDIAGNOSTIC MENTAL HEALTH SPECTRA. ACROSS TWO AIMS, PARTICIPANTS WILL COMPLETE A BATTERY OF LEARNING AND DECISION-MAKING TASKS ASSESSING THREE LEVELS OF LEARNING (NONSOCIAL LEARNING, TRAIT LEARNING (I.E., SOCIAL WITH NO THEORY-OF-MIND; TOM), AND TOM LEARNING), AND THREE FEEDBACK TYPES (INFORMATIONAL, MONETARY, SOCIAL), TWO DIMENSIONS OF GREAT RELEVANCE TO MENTAL HEALTH. WE WILL ALSO QUANTIFY INDIVIDUAL VARIATION ALONG MULTIPLE TRANSDIAGNOSTIC MENTAL HEALTH SPECTRA USING THE HITOP. EMPLOYING A RIGOROUS DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH, WE WILL FIRST CONDUCT A LARGE-SCALE (N=1000) ONLINE EXPLORATORY STUDY TO IDENTIFY MENTAL HEALTH-RELATED SCPS (AIM 1A). WE THEN WILL CONDUCT A CONFIRMATORY STUDY (N=500) IN WHICH WE TARGET THE THREE MOST ROBUST SCPS IDENTIFIED IN AIM 1A, ASSESSING REPLICABILITY AND QUANTIFYING OUT-OF-SAMPLE PREDICTIVE POWER (AIM 1B). FINALLY, WE WILL ADAPT OUR TASK DESIGN FOR MODEL-BASED FMRI (N=55; AIM 2) TO PROBE THE NEURAL CORRELATES OF THE SINGLE-MOST MOST ROBUST SCP IDENTIFIED IN AIM 1B. THE RESULTS OF THIS WORK WILL PROVIDE A MUCH-NEEDED FOUNDATION FOR UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL LEARNING AND DECISION-MAKING AND MENTAL HEALTH, AS WELL AS INSIGHTS INTO THE ETIOLOGY OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, AND NOVEL TARGETS FOR TREATMENT. IMPORTANTLY, THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE CUTTING-EDGE INTERDISCIPLINARY TRAINING IN BEHAVIORAL, COMPUTATIONAL, AND NEUROIMAGING METHODS FOR UNDERGRADUATES IN THE PI’S LABORATORY, FULFILLING THE GOALS OF THE R15 MECHANISM.

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS ON NEURAL AND BEHAVIORAL COMPUTATIONS OF VALUE

INDIVIDUAL AND AGE DIFFERENCES IN TEMPORAL DISCOUNTING: THE ROLE OF MEMORY FOR TIME - PROJECT SUMMARY MANY IMPORTANT DECISIONS, INCLUDING THOSE FACED BY OLDER ADULTS, INVOLVE TRADEOFFS BETWEEN SMALLER, IMMEDIATE AND LARGER, DELAYED REWARDS (I.E., INTERTEMPORAL CHOICES). FOR EXAMPLE, DO YOU GIVE UP SUGARY FOODS NOW IN ORDER TO LIVE A LONGER, HEALTHIER LIFE? DO YOU TAKE MONEY OUT OF A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT NOW DESPITE INCURRING A PENALTY? PEOPLE VARY IN THEIR WILLINGNESS TO WAIT FOR FUTURE REWARDS, BUT THE NEUROCOGNITIVE MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THESE INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN TEMPORAL DISCOUNTING ARE LARGELY UNKNOWN. ONE POSSIBILITY IS THAT PEOPLE WHO REMEMBER PAST TIME INTERVALS AS SHORTER ARE MORE PATIENT FOR FUTURE REWARDS, BECAUSE THEY ANTICIPATE THAT FUTURE TIME INTERVALS WILL BE SHORT AS WELL. THIS PROJECT WILL USE BEHAVIORAL, PUPILLOMETRY, AND NEUROIMAGING METHODS TO TEST THIS NOVEL HYPOTHESIS. PREVIOUS RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT MEMORY FOR HOW LONG AN EXPERIENCE LASTED (DURATION MEMORY) DEPENDS ON HOW MANY DISCRETE EVENTS HAPPENED DURING THAT EXPERIENCE. THEREFORE, WE PREDICT THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO SEGMENT CONTINUOUS EXPERIENCE INTO A LARGER NUMBER OF DISCRETE EVENTS (“FINE” EVENT SEGMENTERS) WILL REMEMBER PAST TIME INTERVALS AS HAVING TAKING LONGER, RESULTING IN LESS WILLINGNESS TO WAIT THROUGH FUTURE TIME INTERVALS. IN CONTRAST, WE EXPECT THAT PEOPLE WHO SEGMENT EXPERIENCE INTO FEWER EVENTS (“COARSE” EVENT SEGMENTERS) WILL REMEMBER TIME AS HAVING FLOWN BY, AND SO WILL BE MORE WILLING TO WAIT FOR FUTURE REWARDS. WE FURTHER PREDICT THAT AGE-RELATED CHANGES IN THE PUPIL-LINKED AROUSAL SYSTEM AND EPISODIC MEMORY SYSTEM ARE LIKELY TO LEAD TO COARSER EVENT SEGMENTATION WITH AGING, BY REDUCING THE EFFECTS OF SALIENT “EVENT BOUNDARIES” ON MEMORY. THE GOAL OF AIM 1 IS TO MEASURE EVENT SEGMENTATION, MEMORY FOR DURATION, AND TEMPORAL DISCOUNTING AND ESTABLISH ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN THEM. THE GOAL OF AIM 2 IS TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER TEMPORAL DISCOUNTING CAN BE MODULATED BY MEMORIES FOR THE DURATIONS OF RECENT EXPERIENCES. IN AIM 1, WE WILL MEASURE PUPIL DILATION IN A GROUP OF YOUNG, MIDDLE-AGED, AND OLDER PARTICIPANTS WHILE THEY LISTEN TO AN AUDIO NARRATIVE AND LABEL EVENT BOUNDARIES IN THE STORY. WE EXPECT THAT INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN PUPIL DILATION AT THESE BOUNDARIES WILL BE REFLECTED IN LATER MEMORY FOR HOW LONG THE NARRATIVE LASTED, AND WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH TEMPORAL DISCOUNTING MEASURED IN A SEPARATE TASK. IN AIM 2, A GROUP OF YOUNG (AGED 18-40) AND OLDER (AGED 60+) ADULTS WILL UNDERGO FUNCTIONAL NEUROIMAGING WHILE VIEWING A SERIES OF IMAGES. THIS TIME, EVENT BOUNDARIES WILL BE PREDETERMINED AND SIGNALED BY SALIENT CATEGORY SWITCHES DURING THESE SEQUENCES OF IMAGES. WE EXPECT THAT NEURAL PROCESSING OF THOSE EVENT BOUNDARIES BY THE MEDIAL TEMPORAL LOBE WILL BE REDUCED IN THE OLDER ADULT GROUP, AND THAT THE NUMBER OF EVENT BOUNDARIES IN A SEQUENCE WILL INFLUENCE INTERTEMPORAL CHOICES MADE DIRECTLY AFTER THAT SEQUENCE. THESE STUDIES WILL SHED LIGHT ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEMORY FOR TIME AND TEMPORAL DISCOUNTING, AS WELL AS HOW AGING AFFECTS THESE PROCESSES. THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO STRENGTHEN THE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT AT THE PI’S UNDERGRADUATE- FOCUSED INSTITUTION, AND PROVIDE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERGRADUATES, INCLUDING OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH OLDER ADULTS AND WITH NEW METHODS (PUPILLOMETRY, COMPUTATIONAL MODELING, AND FUNCTIONAL NEUROIMAGING).

RUI: PREBIOTIC ORIGINS OF BIOLOGICAL ENERGY (PROBE) -SMALL PEPTIDES CONTAINING ONLY A LIMITED SET OF 20 CELLULAR AMINO ACIDS WERE MOST LIKELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BIOLOGICAL ENERGY GENERATION AT THE ORIGIN OF CELLULAR LIFE. THESE PREBIOTIC PEPTIDES OR SMALL PROTEINS THEN EVOLVED INTO THE COMPLEX AND SPECIALIZED PROTEINS THAT GENERATE ENERGY FOR CELLS TODAY. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO IDENTIFY PEPTIDES THAT MAY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN ENERGY GENERATION WHEN LIFE ON EARTH WAS BEGINNING; THESE PEPTIDES MIGHT REVEAL A SIGNATURE OF EMERGING LIFE ON EARTH AND ELSEWHERE. THIS PROJECT WILL IMMERSE A GROUP OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS INTO CUTTING-EDGE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE USING STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT AT ADELPHI UNIVERSITY AND SOPHISTICATED INSTRUMENTATION LOCATED AT RUTGERS UNIVERSITY. BIOLOGICAL ENERGY REQUIRED AT THE ORIGIN OF LIFE MOST LIKELY INVOLVED A TRANSITION FROM INORGANIC ELECTRON TRANSFER, CATALYZED BY GEOCHEMICAL SURFACES, TO ORGANIC ELECTRON TRANSFER CATALYZED BY SMALL PEPTIDES. THESE PREBIOTIC ELECTRON TRANSFER PEPTIDES OR SMALL PROTEINS THEN EVOLVED INTO THE SPECIALIZED ELECTRON TRANSFER PROTEINS THAT PROVIDE THE ENERGY SOURCE OF EXTANT LIFE. FOR THIS TO BE THE CASE, PEPTIDES OR SMALL PROTEINS COMPOSED ONLY OF AMINO ACIDS AVAILABLE UNDER PREBIOTIC CONDITIONS MUST BE CAPABLE OF CATALYZING ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS. THIS PROJECT WILL USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DEEP LEARNING ALGORITHMS IN COMBINATION WITH EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION TO DISCOVER PREBIOTIC OXIDOREDUCTASES COMPOSED ONLY OF AMINO ACIDS THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO PREBIOTIC CHEMISTRY. EXTANT FERREDOXIN, ROSSMANN-LIKE AND FLAVODOXIN FOLDS WILL BE REDESIGNED COMPOSED OF ONLY PREBIOTIC AMINO ACIDS. THE NOVEL DESIGNS WILL BE SYNTHESIZED, OR EXPRESSED AND PURIFIED, AND THEN CHARACTERIZED FOR STRUCTURE BY CIRCULAR DICHROISM AND NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY, AND FOR FUNCTION BY ELECTRON PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY AND CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY. THIS APPROACH WILL IDENTIFY PLAUSIBLE, PREBIOTIC CHEMICAL ENTITIES THAT COULD HAVE SERVED AS SCAFFOLDS FOR THE ORIGIN OF BIOLOGICAL FES CLUSTER-MEDIATED OR FLAVIN-MEDIATED ELECTRON TRANSFER. DEMONSTRATING THAT DESIGNED PREBIOTIC PEPTIDES OR PROTEINS HAVE SIMILAR FOLDS AND ELECTRON TRANSFER FUNCTIONS AS THEIR EXTANT, PARENT PROTEINS WOULD PROVIDE COMPELLING SUPPORT FOR THE HYPOTHESIS THAT THESE PREBIOTIC POLYPEPTIDES PLAYED A ROLE IN THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO ADVANCE THE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE METHODS TO UNDERSTAND PROTEIN DESIGN AND PROTEIN EVOLUTION. 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.

LEAPS-MPS: DEVELOPING NOVEL IMAGING TECHNIQUES AND LIMITS WITH FISHER INFORMATION-BASED OR QUANTUM-INSPIRED SUPERRESOLUTION -UNDER CONVENTIONAL OPERATION, IMAGING SYSTEMS LIKE TELESCOPES, MICROSCOPES, AND CAMERAS ALL SUFFER FROM RESOLUTION LIMITS: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCERN THE DETAILS OF THE DESIRED OBJECT SCENE WHEN THEY BECOME TOO SMALL. A RECENT NOVEL IMAGING SCHEME, KNOWN AS MODAL IMAGING, HAS BEEN SHOWN TO AT LEAST PARTIALLY CIRCUMVENT THESE RESOLUTION LIMITS. HOWEVER, MODAL IMAGING COMES WITH LIMITATIONS THAT HAVE PREVENTED WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OR REPLACEMENT OF CONVENTIONAL IMAGING SYSTEMS. THIS PROJECT ANALYZES THESE LIMITATIONS AND PROPOSES NOVEL SOLUTIONS SO THAT MODAL IMAGING?S BENEFITS OF IMPROVED RESOLUTION CAN BE REALIZED ACROSS NUMEROUS IMAGING APPLICATIONS. IN A PARALLEL VEIN, THIS PROJECT EXPLORES THE COUNTER-INTUITIVE NOTION THAT IMAGING SYSTEMS WITH ABERRATIONS, WHICH ARE TRADITIONALLY CONSIDERED TO BE PURELY DETRIMENTAL TO SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, MAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESOLVE OBJECT SCENES MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN ABERRATION-FREE SYSTEMS. THE OUTCOMES OF THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGING, WHICH FINDS APPLICATIONS IN FIELDS THAT BENEFIT FROM THE ABILITY TO ACCURATELY CHARACTERIZE, DISCERN, AND DETECT INFORMATION FROM COMPLICATED OBJECT SCENES, INCLUDING THE FIELDS OF ASTRONOMY AND BIOLOGICAL IMAGING. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE PROJECT WILL LEARN TO EMPLOY COMPUTATIONAL RESEARCH STRATEGIES, AND ONE STUDENT WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK EXPERIMENTALLY IN AN OPTICS LABORATORY THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER?S INSTITUTE OF OPTICS. DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH SKILLS, AS WELL AS EXPOSURE TO THE BROADER OPTICS COMMUNITY, WILL PROVIDE VALUABLE EXPERIENCE FOR THE STUDENTS AS THEY CONSIDER CAREER PATHS IN STEM. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ELABORATE AND EXPAND UPON FINDINGS THAT IMAGING SYSTEMS WITH OFF-AXIS ABERRATIONS MAY HAVE GREATER RESOLUTION, QUANTIFIED VIA THE FISHER INFORMATION (FI), THAN THEIR ABERRATION-FREE COUNTERPART. THIS WOULD CHALLENGE TRADITIONAL NOTIONS THAT IDEAL SYSTEMS ARE DIFFRACTION-LIMITED. THIS GOAL WILL BE ACHIEVED WITH THE DERIVATION OF THE FI MATRICES OF SUCH ABERRATED SYSTEMS AND VERIFIED WITH MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION PERFORMED ON BOTH SIMULATED AND EXPERIMENTAL DATA. THESE COMPUTATIONAL AND THEORETICAL METHODS WILL BE USED TO QUANTIFY AND DESIGN ABERRATED IMAGING SYSTEMS THAT OUTPERFORM CONVENTIONAL ONES IN COMPLEX MULTI-PARAMETER OBJECT ESTIMATION WITHIN THE PRACTICAL CONSTRAINTS OF REALISTIC SYSTEMS. ADDITIONALLY, A THEORETICAL STUDY ON EXTENDING THE FEASIBILITY OF USING MODAL IMAGING TO CIRCUMVENT CONVENTIONAL RESOLUTION LIMITS WILL BE PERFORMED. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, VARIOUS MULTI-STAGE IMAGING DESIGNS, IN WHICH THE RESOLUTION BENEFITS OF MODAL IMAGING ARE SUPPLEMENTED BY PRIOR MEASUREMENTS, WILL BE DETAILED AND EXPLORED. 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.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SITUATIONAL LEARNING AND DECISION MAKING -BEING ABLE TO PREDICT BEHAVIORS OF OTHER PEOPLE IS IMPORTANT TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THE SOCIAL WORLD. PRIOR RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ONE MAJOR WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS IS BY LEARNING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?S PERSONALITY TRAITS. THIS PROJECT EXPLORES HOW INDIVIDUALS LEARN NOT ONLY ABOUT OTHERS? PERSONALITY TRAITS BUT ALSO ABOUT THE SITUATIONS THAT INFORM PEOPLE?S ACTIONS, AND IN TURN USE SITUATIONAL LEARNING IN DECISION MAKING. IMPACTS OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDE RESEARCH TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS, AND DISSEMINATION OF FINDINGS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO CHARACTERIZE HOW INDIVIDUALS LEARN ABOUT SITUATIONS AND EXPLORE HOW DIFFERENT LIFE EXPERIENCES INFLUENCE THIS PROCESS. THE RESEARCH TEAM LEVERAGES BEHAVIORAL METHODS, ADVANCED NEUROIMAGING TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELING TO (1) IDENTIFY THE NEURAL AND COGNITIVE MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN SITUATIONAL AND TRAIT LEARNING AND TO (2) EXAMINE THE ROLE THAT SITUATIONAL AND TRAIT LEARNING PLAY IN MORAL REASONING AND DECISION-MAKING ACROSS DIFFERENT CONTEXTS.
