FUNDING WAS APPROVED IN 2024 THROUGH THE COASTAL WETLANDS PLANNING, PROTECTION, AND RESTORATION ACT (CWPPRA) PROGRAM FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE SOUTH DELACROIX MARSH CREATION PROJECT (BS-0047). THIS PROJECT, LED BY THE LOUISIANA COASTAL PROTECTION AND RESTORATION AUTHORITY AS THE LOCAL COST SHARE PARTNER, WILL YIELD ENGINEERING AND DESIGN PLANS DETAILING THE FEATURES OF THIS PROJECT TO RESTORE OVER 400 ACRES OF MARSH UTILIZING A LAYOUT TO HELP PROTECT THE COMMUNITY OF DELACROIX IN ST. BERNARD PARISH, LOUISIANA. THE PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A SUITE OF PROJECTS DESIGNED TO AID IN THE PROTECTION FROM STORM SURGES OF THIS HISTORIC AND CULTURALLY DISTINCT FISHERIES-CENTRIC COMMUNITY. COASTAL WETLANDS ARE LOUISIANAS FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE DURING HURRICANES AND STORMS, PROTECTING COMMUNITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE FROM THE DAMAGING EFFECTS OF WIND, WAVES, AND FLOODING. THEY ALSO PROVIDE HABITAT FOR FISH AND SHELLFISH, WHICH SUPPORT A STATEWIDE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY VALUED AT NEARLY $1 BILLION PER YEAR. HOWEVER, THE LOUISIANA COASTLINE HAS DETERIORATED CONSIDERABLY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DECADES, WITH ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATES OF WETLAND LOSS IN THE WORLD. SINCE 1990, THE CWPPRA PROGRAM HAS SERVED AS THE PRIMARY MEANS FOR RESPONDING TO COASTAL WETLAND LOSS IN LOUISIANA. EACH YEAR, LARGE-SCALE RESTORATION PROJECTS ARE APPROVED FOR FUNDING BY THE CWPPRA TASK FORCE. THE TASK FORCE IS COMPOSED OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA AND FIVE PARTICIPATING FEDERAL AGENCIES: NOAA, U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, AND THE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE. THIS PROJECT WILL AID IN THE RESTORATION OF HABITAT ALONG LOUISIANAS COAST, INCREASE PROTECTION FOR PEOPLE AND PROPERTY, AND BENEFIT SOME OF AMERICAS RICHEST FISHERIES.

DEVICE TO DELIVER INTRA-OPERATIVE THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA FOR HEARING PRESERVATION IN COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION - PROJECT SUMMARY THE GOAL OF OUR PROJECT IS TO FINALIZE, VALIDATE, AND PREPARE FOR REGULATORY APPROVALS A DEVICE AND PROBE FOR DELIVERING LOCALIZED, CONTROLLED THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA TO THE INNER EAR. THE DEVICE SAFETY AND EFFICACY WILL BE TESTED FOR RESIDUAL HEARING PRESERVATION IN COCHLEAR IMPLANT SURGERIES BY COMPARING PRE- AND POST-OPERATIVE HEARING OUTCOMES AND INTRA-OPERATIVE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS. EXTENSIVE PRECLINICAL RESEARCH WAS ENABLED BY A NIDCD R21 AND INDUSTRY SUPPORT THAT ALLOWED DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOCOL FOR HYPOTHERMIA DELIVERY USING A DEVICE AND PROBE SUITABLE FOR A RODENT MODEL. WE PROPOSE HERE TO RE-ENGINEER THE DEVICE AND PROBE FOR CLINICAL IMPLANTATION IN THE OPERATING ROOM, AND PREPARE IT FOR REGULATORY APPROVAL. WE WILL ALSO CARRY OUT FIRST-IN- PATIENT STUDIES FOR THE THERAPY BY IMPLEMENTING LOCALIZED, THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA FOR PROTECTION OF HAIR CELLS AND NEURAL SUBSTRATE DURING COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION. THIS APPROACH BRINGS A NON-PHARMACEUTICAL THERAPY FOR RESIDUAL HEARING PRESERVATION TO THE MARKET. FURTHERMORE, HYPOTHERMIA LOCALIZED TO THE INNER EAR AVOIDS CHALLENGES WITH SYSTEMIC COOLING OR WITH DELIVERY OF DRUGS TO THE INNER EAR. THE DEVICE AND PROBE DO NOT REQUIRE ALTERATION OF THE SURGICAL APPROACH OR THE IMPLANT ELECTRODE. THE SPECIFIC AIMS ARE MOTIVATED BY OUR PRECLINICAL STUDIES THAT HAVE SHOWN THAT HYPOTHERMIA CAN PRESERVE RESIDUAL HEARING LONG-TERM POST-COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION. ENSURING THE SURVIVAL OF SENSITIVE HAIR CELLS AND NEURAL STRUCTURES IN THE COCHLEA WILL LEAD TO IMPROVED RESIDUAL HEARING PRESERVATION, WHICH IN THE LONG-TERM CAN IMPROVE SPEECH PERCEPTION OUTCOMES.

RESTORATION RECOVERY CENTER CHOICES - RESTORATION RECOVERY CENTER (RRC) IS SEEKING TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN THE CITY OF FITCHBURG, MA WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR HOUSING UNDER THE GUIDELINES OF THE CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS HOUSING ALLIANCE (CMHA) CONTINUUM OF CARE (COC). CMHA COC IS THE PRIMARY HOUSING AUTHORITY ASSISTING INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN WORCESTER COUNTY, MA IN WHICH THE CITY OF FITCHBURG IS LOCATED. UNDER THE COC REQUIREMENTS FOR HOUSING SUPPORT THERE ARE FOUR QUALIFICATIONS THAT MUST BE MET: 1) THE INDIVIDUAL IS CURRENTLY “STREET HOMELESS”; 2) HAS BEEN HOMELESS FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS OR HAS BEEN HOMELESS FOR 12 MONTHS OR MORE IN THE PAST 36 MONTHS; 3) HAS A MENTAL OR PHYSICAL DISABILITY; AND 4) IS ON SSI OR SSDI. RRC WILL USE GRANT FUNDS TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WITH SERVICES WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NOT QUALIFY FOR COC ASSISTANCE. RRC HAS AN ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CMHA AND HAS IDENTIFIED AN ADDITIONAL UNSHELTERED HOMELESS POPULATION THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM HOUSING SUPPORTS AND SERVICES. SPECIFICALLY, THE PLAN IS TO: 1) UTILIZE OUTREACH SPECIALISTS TO ENGAGE INDIVIDUALS NOT CURRENTLY ACCESSING EXISTING HOMELESS SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY; 2) SCREEN AND ASSESS AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS FOR HOUSING NEEDS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AND IMMEDIATE OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY THROUGH INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT; 2) INCREASE ACCESS TO HOUSING FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR COC ASSISTANCE; AND 3) CONNECT INDIVIDUALS TO INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT AND REFERRALS TO PEER SUPPORT AND RECOVERY COACHES TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE USE. RESTORATION RECOVERY CENTER WILL SERVE THE HOMELESS POPULATION OF FITCHBURG, MA, AND THE COUNTY OF WORCESTER. FITCHBURG HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 41,732 PERSONS. FITCHBURG RESIDENTS ARE 73.3% WHITE, 6.5% BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN, AND 30.0% HISPANIC/LATINO; THE REMAINING RACE GROUPS (E.G., AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE, ASIAN, NATIVE HAWAIIAN OR OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDER, OR TWO OR MORE RACES) REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 13.5% OF THE POPULATION. FITCHBURG’S MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME (IN 2021 DOLLARS) IS $60,466, $8,555 LOWER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE; 14.6% OF THE POPULATION LIVES IN POVERTY. WORCESTER COUNTY, MA MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME (IN 2021 DOLLARS) IS $56,746, $12,275 LOWER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE; 19.3% OF THE COUNTY POPULATION LIVES IN POVERTY. UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS CONTINUES TO RISE IN MANY AREAS OF THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING FITCHBURG. PRIMARY CONCERNS FACING INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ARE A LACK OF STABLE HOUSING, ACCESS TO BASIC NEEDS, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH ISSUES, AND DISCRIMINATION. A RECENT ANALYSIS OF HOMELESSNESS DATA SHOWS THAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCING UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS REPORT SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER HEALTH CHALLENGES AND EXPERIENCES OF TRAUMA AND VIOLENCE THAN THEIR SHELTERED PEERS. FOR THOSE UNABLE TO QUALIFY FOR COC ASSISTANCE, THESE CONCERNS ARE UNADDRESSED AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR SITUATION ALONE IS EXTREMELY LOW. RESTORATION RECOVERY WILL FILL THIS GAP AND ASSIST THOSE THAT ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS THESE SERVICES AND BREAK THE CYCLE. TO HELP ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS, RRC HOPES TO ENGAGE THE TARGET POPULATION THROUGH THE USE OF THIS GRANT TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING GOALS: 1) INCREASE ACCESS FOR UNSHELTERED HOMELESS TO STABLE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING; 2) INCREASE ACCESS TO AND PROVIDE DIVERSE SERVICES FOR UNSHELTERED HOMELESS ADULTS THAT SUPPORT THEIR HOUSING, RECOVERY, AND PERSONAL GROWTH GOALS; AND 3) IMPROVE ECONOMIC AND HEALTH SECURITY FOR INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

NON-INVASIVE SYSTEM TO DELIVER THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA FOR PROTECTION AGAINST NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS - PROJECT SUMMARY RESTOREAR DEVICES LLC AIMS TO DEVELOP AND TEST APPLICATION OF MILD THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA TO MITIGATE NOISE- INDUCED HEARING LOSS (NIHL). NIHL IS GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH RISK AND IS AN IMPAIRMENT RESULTING FROM IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE SENSITIVE STRUCTURES AND NEURAL ELEMENTS IN THE COCHLEA. A CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION REPORT HIGHLIGHTS THAT 24% OF ADULTS AND 17% OF TEENAGERS IN THE UNITED STATES EXPERIENCE HEARING LOSS IN ONE OR BOTH EARS FROM EXPOSURE TO OCCUPATIONAL OR RECREATIONAL LOUD SOUND. NIHL HAS A HIGH PREVALENCE AMONG MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND FIREFIGHTERS WHO ARE OCCUPATIONALLY AT-RISK. GLOBALLY, OCCUPATIONAL NOISE EXPOSURE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 16% OF DISABLING HEARING LOSS (OVER 600 MILLION PEOPLE) WITH SIGNIFICANT LIFETIME COSTS PER PERSON IN THE US ALONE. PRELIMINARY AND PRIOR PUBLISHED RESULTS SHOW THAT CONTROLLED AND LOCALIZED THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA PROVIDED TO THE INNER EAR POST-NOISE OR SURGICAL TRAUMA CONSERVES SIGNIFICANT RESIDUAL HEARING AND PRESERVES SENSITIVE NEURAL STRUCTURES. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS, THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI TEAM HAS ALSO SHOWN NOISE- INDUCED CHANGES IN HEARING AND BALANCE FUNCTIONS IN AT-RISK GROUPS OF FIREFIGHTERS. WITH THE PRIOR PHASE I SBIR AWARD, RESTOREAR DEVICES LLC DESIGNED, BUILT AND TESTED SYSTEMS AND PROTOCOLS TO DELIVER MILD THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA NON-INVASIVELY TO THE INNER EAR. WE MET ALL OF THE MILESTONES OUTLINED, INCLUDING TESTING THE EFFICACY OF OUR DEVICES FOR HUMAN APPLICATION USING COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF HEAT TRANSFER AND STUDIES FROM CADAVERIC TEMPORAL BONES. WE ARE NOW READY TO TRANSLATE ONE SUCH DEVICE, REBOUNDTM, TO PRACTICE. THIS PHASE II SBIR PROPOSAL WILL TEST SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF REBOUND-DELIVERED MILD THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA TREATMENT IN MITIGATING NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS IN FIREFIGHTERS. IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI AND SOUTH FLORIDA FIRE SERVICES, WE HAVE DESIGNED A CLINICAL STUDY TO TEST THIS THERAPY IN OCCUPATIONALLY AT-RISK FIREFIGHTERS. SUBJECTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENTS REPEATED OVER TIME WILL ENABLE EVALUATION OF THE PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF MILD THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA FOLLOWING NOISE EXPOSURE. CONSIDERING THAT THE PREVALENCE OF HEARING LOSS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE NEXT FEW DECADES, THESE HUMAN CLINICAL STUDIES WILL SUPPORT ESTABLISHING THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA FOR HEARING PROTECTION.
