CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS - PENOBSCOT COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER’S (PCHC) CDS FUNDING REQUEST IS TO RENOVATE EXISTING SPACE OWNED BY PCHC AND TO PURCHASE FFE (FURNITURE, FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT) TO OPEN A DENTAL CLINIC IN BELFAST, MAINE. THE DENTAL CLINIC WILL BE CO-LOCATED WITH PCHC’S PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE, SEAPORT COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (SCHC), AND AVAILABLE TO SCHC’S PRIMARY CARE PATIENTS AS WELL AS NON-PATIENTS. THE DENTAL PRACTICE WILL OFFER COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL SERVICES. DENTAL CARE ACCESS IN WALDO COUNTY IS EXTREMELY LIMITED, ESPECIALLY FOR MAINECARE, UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. THE U.S. HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA) DESIGNATES THE BELFAST, WALDO COUNTY AREA AS A “HEALTH PROVIDER SHORTAGE AREA” IN BOTH MENTAL HEALTH AND DENTAL FIELDS AND CONSIDERS THE ENTIRE COUNTY TO BE A “MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA.” ACCORDING TO COUNTY RURAL HEALTH PROFILE DATA, NEARLY 30% OF WALDO COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE AT 150% OR BELOW OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, INCLUDING 11% OF SENIORS, A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATE THAN THE STATE AVERAGE OF 8.7%. MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN WALDO COUNTY IS NEARLY 13% LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE ($42,221), IN A STATE WHERE MEDIAN INCOME LAGS THE NATIONAL AVERAGE SIGNIFICANTLY. THERE IS A HIGHER RATE OF PUBLICLY INSURED AND UNINSURED PATIENTS IN WALDO COUNTY THAN IN THE REST OF MAINE. THOUGH PRIVATE PRACTICE DENTISTS EXIST IN THE REGION, THEY ACCEPT FEW, IF ANY MAINECARE PATIENTS AND DO NOT HAVE A SLIDING FEE SCALE FOR LOW INCOME, SELF-PAY PATIENTS. WITHOUT ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL CARE, ORAL DISEASES PROGRESS RAPIDLY, BECOMING EMERGENT AND LEADING TO LOSS OF TEETH, WHICH EXACERBATES OTHER HEALTHCARE CONDITIONS. LACKING PREVENTIVE CARE, PEOPLE OVERUTILIZE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS AND OTHER MEDICAL FACILITIES TO HELP MANAGE DENTAL PAIN, DRIVING UP THE TOTAL COST OF CARE TO THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. DENTAL PAIN IS AMONG THE TOP DRIVERS OF EMERGENCY ROOM UTILIZATION. ATTEMPTS TO SELF-MANAGE PREVENTABLE DENTAL PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH ORA L DISEASE CAN ALSO LEAD TO OPIOID ADDICTION AND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUDS). MOREOVER, POOR ORAL HYGIENE LEADS TO POOR NUTRITION, LOW CONFIDENCE, LOWER EMPLOYMENT RATES, AND A DOWNWARD SPIRAL IN HEALTH AND WELLBEING AND SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. IN NOVEMBER 2021, PCHC, MAINE’S LARGEST FQHC, PURCHASED THE FORMER BANK OF AMERICA COMPLEX IN BELFAST, MAINE IN ORDER TO SECURE SPACE TO EXPAND ITS PRIMARY CARE CLINIC. SCHC HAS PROVIDED INTEGRATED PRIMARY CARE IN THE REGION FOR OVER 40 YEARS, BUT IN THE PAST DECADE DEMAND FOR PRIMARY, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY. PCHC RECENTLY RENOVATED AND NOW HOUSES SCHC’S EXPANDED PRIMARY CARE CLINIC ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF BUILDING 5 OF THE COMPLEX. CDS FUNDS WILL BE USED TO RENOVATE A PORTION OF THE SECOND FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING, APPROXIMATELY 4,500 SF, AND TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT FOR A NEW DENTAL CLINIC. THE SCOPE OF THESE RENOVATIONS INCLUDES NEW INTERIOR WALLS, NEW ELECTRICAL, NEW HVAC DISTRIBUTION, AND THE INSTALLATION OF THE DENTAL EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR AN 8-CHAIR DENTAL CLINIC. THIS PROJECT WILL NOT REQUIRE RENOVATIONS TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE FACILITY OR GROUND DISTURBANCE. THIS REQUEST FOR CDS FUNDING WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE ACCESS TO ORAL HEALTHCARE IN WALDO COUNTY FOR ALL, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. THE CLINIC WILL SERVE A PROJECTED 7,200 PATIENTS EACH YEAR. WE WILL ALSO PROVIDE ACUTE/WALK-IN DENTAL CARE SERVICES, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING ED UTILIZATION FOR EMERGENT DENTAL NEEDS. THE RENOVATION PROJECT WILL ADD APPROXIMATELY 15 FTE CONSTRUCTION JOBS. THE CLINIC WILL EMPLOY 13-15 FTE PERMANENT DENTAL TEAM MEMBERS. ADDING DENTAL SERVICES IS A WIN FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: IT WILL INCREASE JOBS, SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, EFFICIENTLY LEVERAGE TAXPAYER DOLLARS FLOWING TO FQHCS, AND REDUCE THE TOTAL COST OF CARE TO MAINE’S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

SBIR PHASE II: A WEB-APPLICATION THAT ENABLES HANDS-ON BIOTECH LABORATORY EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT IS EQUITABLE ACCESS TO A QUALITY SCIENCE EDUCATION REGARDLESS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS OR GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION. ACROSS THE NATION, SCIENCE ILLITERACY IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH ONLY 30% OF STUDENTS TESTING AS HAVING A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF SCIENCE. AS A RESULT, THE U.S. DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH TRAINED SCIENTISTS TO COMMERCIAL OR ACADEMIC LABORATORIES. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN DEEMED A NATIONAL CRISIS AND IS CONSIDERED A RISK TO U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY. A QUALITY SCIENCE EDUCATION HAS LASTING BENEFITS TO STUDENTS INCLUDING MORE PERSUASIVE AND CLEAR COMMUNICATION SKILLS, AND THE ABILITY TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP CRITICAL APPROACHES TO PROBLEM-SOLVING. THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO RAISE SCIENCE LITERACY ACROSS THE NATION AND PROVIDE CAREER READINESS TRAINING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS. THE PROGRAM MEETS ALL THREE DIMENSIONS OF NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS. A BOOK VERSION OF THE PROGRAM IS BEING ROLLED-OUT TO INDEPENDENT STUDY CHARTER SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA. THE ONLINE PROGRAM WILL BE TESTED IN SCHOOLS WHICH HAVE ADOPTED THE BOOKS. BOTH BOOK AND ONLINE VERSIONS WILL BE EXPANDED TO CHARTER SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND EVENTUALLY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MODULES OF THE PROGRAM MAY BE ADOPTED IN AREAS WITHOUT ACCESS TO HIGH-SPEED INTERNET. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT ADDRESSES INEQUITIES IN SCIENCE EDUCATION BY PROVIDING AN INDEPENDENT STUDY APPLICATION THAT INCLUDES STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION FOR A HANDS-ON CHEMICAL LABORATORY. ALL HANDS-ON LABORATORIES USE REAGENTS COMMONLY FOUND IN THE HOME FOR SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY REASONS. EXPERIMENTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE DONE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A TRAINED SCIENCE TEACHER IN THE ROOM. STUDIES SHOW THAT HANDS-ON LEARNING IS MORE IMPACTFUL THAN COMPUTER SIMULATIONS. LOW-COST SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT IS ALSO BEING DEVELOPED. A HAND-POWERED SPINNING CENTRIFUGE IS UNDER FINAL DESIGN. DURING PHASE II, A DRUG DISCOVERY MODULE WILL BE DEVELOPED WHERE STUDENTS CAN FIND A POTENTIAL CURE FOR A DISEASE IN THEIR OWN KITCHEN OR CLASSROOM. AIMS ALSO INCLUDE MODIFYING THE ONLINE APPLICATION TO MAKE IT EASILY EXPANDABLE, SCALABLE AND MAINTAINABLE FOR THE LONG TERM. THE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES TECHNICAL OPTIMIZATION FOR RELIABLE DEPLOYMENT NATIONWIDE AND NEW INTERFACES TO ALLOW EDUCATORS TO UPLOAD CONTENT DIRECTLY INTO THE APPLICATION. THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES SECURITY AUDITS OF THE APPLICATION INCLUDING USER INFORMATION. FINANCIAL INFORMATION WILL BE MANAGED THROUGH A THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION. THE PRODUCT WILL BE ITERATIVELY TESTED IN CLASSROOMS AND HOMESCHOOLS.

TARGETING THE LARGE CYCLOPHILINS THROUGH AN AUTONOMOUS CONA ASSAY - PROJECT SUMMARY. CYCLOPHILINS AND FKBPS ARE MEMBERS OF A LARGE CLASS OF PEPTIDYL-PROLINE ISOMERASES (PPIASES) AND PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE IN MODERN MEDICINE WITH CLINICAL APPLICATIONS IN IMMUNOSUPPRESSION, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, AND CHEMOTHERAPY. ALTHOUGH DECADES OF EFFORT HAVE REVEALED THE REMARKABLE STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF IMMUNOPHILIN ENZYMES, MANY MEMBERS OF THIS FAMILY, INCLUDING CYP40, HAVE YET TO MEET THE CRITICAL LEVEL OF THERAPEUTIC EXAMINATION. RECENTLY OUR TEAM DESCRIBED A SYSTEM THAT USES BEADS TO RAPIDLY ENHANCE THE DISCOVERY OF PROBES THAT TARGET SPECIFIC DOMAINS WITHIN A PROTEIN. IN THIS PROGRAM OUR TEAM DEVELOPS THIS METHOD, AS A TECHNIQUE TO DISCOVER MOLECULAR PROBES TO STUDY THE NEUROLOGICAL ROLES OF THE IMMUNOPHILINS. THE EXTRACELLULAR AMYLOID PLAQUES AND THE INTRACELLULAR NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES (TAU) THAT DEFINE THE NEUROPATHOLOGY OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE ARE BOTH REGULATED BY THE LARGE IMMUNOPHILINS. CYCLOPHILIN 40 (CYP40), FK506-BINDING PROTEINS FKBP51 AND FKBP52 PLAY IMPORTANT, BUT ANTAGONISTIC ROLES. CYP40 DISAGGREGATES A-SYNUCLEIN AND OVEREXPRESSION RESCUES TAU-INDUCED COGNITIVE DEFICITS AND UNRAVELS NEUROTOXIC PLAQUES. BOTH CYP40 AND FKBP51 PROMOTE THE STABILISATION OF MICROTUBULES WHILE FKBP52 HAS BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE MEMORY IMPAIRMENTS IN A TAU TRANSGENIC MOUSE MODEL AND TO PROMOTE TAU PATHOGENESIS. A LIKELY MECHANISM INVOLVES THE OPPOSING ROLES PLAYED BY CYP40 AND FKPB52 IN REGULATING MICROTUBULE DEPOLYMERISATION. FKBP52 HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BIND AND INHIBIT TUBULIN FORMATION VIA DIRECT BINDING BY ITS TPR DOMAIN. AS THE AMINO ACID IDENTITY BETWEEN THESE THREE LARGE IMMUNOPHILIN TPR DOMAINS IS LESS THAN 26%, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY SMALL MOLECULE BINDERS THAT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TPR DOMAINS OF CYP40, FKBP51 AND FKBP52. MODULATING THE EFFECTS OF THE LARGE IMMUNOPHILINS WILL PROVIDE A NEW FORM OF THERAPY TO TREAT NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES CAUSED BY PLAQUE FORMATION INCLUDING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. HERE, OUR TEAM ADAPTS AN OPTIMIZED WORKFLOW THAT USES BEADS, CALLED CONFOCAL NANOSCANNING (CONA) AS A TOOL TO IDENTIFY AND VALIDATE FLUORESCENT NATURAL PRODUCTS THAT BIND WITH HIGH OR MEDIUM AFFINITY TO CYP40, FKBP51 OR FKBP52. THE RESULTING MATERIALS ARE THEN USED TO ESTABLISH METHODS FOR CELLULAR IMAGING AS WELL AS ESTABLISH A HIGH-THROUGHPUT SCREEN FOR EACH OF THESE LARGE IMMUNOPHILINS.
