STEM CELL BIOLOGY: NEW DIRECTIONS IN CLINICAL AND BASIC RESEARCH

STATE AND TRIBAL ELDER JUSTICE COALITIONS HAVE PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE VEHICLES FOR RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THE NEEDS OF OLDER ADULTS IMPACTED BY ALL FORMS OF MISTREATMENT AND FOR PROMOTING ADVOCACY FOR A ROBUST AND COORDINATED COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO THEIR JUSTICE NEEDS. YET, ELDER JUSTICE COALITIONS EXIST IN LESS THAN HALF THE STATES AND IN FEW TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. LIFESPAN OF GREATER ROCHESTER (LIFESPAN) WILL SERVE AS THE LEAD AGENCY OF A CONSORTIUM OF ELDER JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS AND SPECIALISTS WITH MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND DEPTH OF EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD TO ESTABLISH A NATIONAL ELDER JUSTICE COALITION CENTER (NEJCC). CONSORTIUM PARTNERS INCLUDE THE MINNESOTA ELDER JUSTICE COALITION, OHIO COALITION FOR ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES, THE NATIONAL NETWORK OF STATE ELDER JUSTICE COALITIONS, AND JACQUE GRAY, PHD, SPECIALIST IN NATIVE AMERICAN ELDER JUSTICE AFFAIRS.   THE NATIONAL ELDER JUSTICE COALITION CENTER, WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW STATE AND TRIBAL COALITIONS, WILL OFFER ONGOING TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO NEW AND EXISTING COALITIONS, AND WILL SERVE AS A CLEARINGHOUSE FOR RESOURCES AND INFORMATION CONCERNING ELDER JUSTICE ISSUES, PROGRAMS, AND ADVOCACY. IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION THE CENTER WILL ISSUE A COMPETITIVE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR TWO-YEAR FUNDING FOR SEVEN GRANTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW STATEWIDE OR TRIBAL COALITIONS OR FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF EXISTING STATE AND TRIBAL COALITIONS. THE CENTER WILL CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE WEBSITE INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT ELDER JUSTICE AS WELL AS A LIBRARY OF RESOURCES. CENTER PARTNERS WILL ASSIST NEW AND EXISTING COALITIONS IN ORGANIZING STATEWIDE OR REGIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AND WILL OFFER OPPORTUNITIES TO REGULARLY MEET AS GROUP TO DISCUSS CHALLENGES, BEST PRACTICE AND TO ENGAGE IN MUTUAL PROBLEM SOLVING. THE CENTER WILL DEVELOP A GUIDE TO ASSIST THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE COALITIONS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION IN THE AREAS OF RECRUITMENT, SPONSORSHIP, OPERATIONS AND SUSTAINABILITY. THE NATIONAL ELDER JUSTICE COALITION CENTER WILL ALSO COLLABORATE WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES AND INITIATIVES TO COORDINATE EFFORTS AND ACTIVITIES IN THE AREA OF ELDER JUSTICE. DRAWING ON THE EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE OF MULTIPLE LEADING ORGANIZATIONS AND EXPERTS IN THE ELDER JUSTICE FIELD, THE CENTER WILL AIM TO ADVANCE THE GOAL OF A SAFE AND HEALTHY LIFE FREE OF MISTREATMENT AND EXPLOITATION FOR ALL OLDER AMERICANS.

IMPROVING OLDER ADULTS HEALTH THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED AGING SERVICES AND HEALTHCARE INTEGRATION IN NEW YORK STATE

INNOVATIVE POINT-OF-CARE SOLUTIONS FOR LONG-TERM ALCOHOL BIOMARKERS - IN MANY COUNTRIES RISKY DRINKING IS COMMON. WORLDWIDE MORE THAN 5.1% OF THE OVERALL GLOBAL HEALTH BURDEN IS ASSOCIATED WITH ALCOHOL MISUSE AND THIS PERCENTAGE IS RISING. MOST OF THE TIME, HARMFUL DRINKING IS TEMPORARY, BUT OVER THE COURSE OF A LIFETIME, 15-20% OF THE ENTIRE U.S. POPULATION WILL HAVE A MORE CHRONIC PROBLEM, SOME EVEN DIAGNOSED WITH AN ALCOHOL USE DISORDER (AUD). MANY ARE NOT AWARE OR DENY THEIR DRINKING IS A PROBLEM, AND MOST INDIVIDUALS NEED HELP TO REDUCE THEIR ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION TO SAFE LEVELS. ACUTE ALCOHOL IS COMMONLY BY BREATHALYZER OR BLOOD ETHANOL TESTS; HOWEVER, THESE TESTS COULD ONLY DETECT ALCOHOL WITHIN HOURS AFTER CONSUMPTION. FOR CHRONIC ALCOHOL USE AND ABUSE, LONG-TERM ALCOHOL BIOMARKERS ARE NEEDED. THERE ARE SEVERAL DIRECT ALCOHOL BIOMARKERS IN USE BUT IT IS GENERALLY AGREED THAT PHOSPHATIDYLETHANOL (PETH) IS THE MOST RELIABLE LONG-TERM ALCOHOL BIOMARKER CURRENTLY KNOWN. AFTER ALCOHOL INGESTION, PETH REMAINS IN RED BLOOD CELLS (RBC) UP TO 30 DAYS OR LONGER. PETH IS CURRENTLY MEASURED BY MASS SPECTROMETRY, BUT THE TURNAROUND TIME IS SLOW (>1 WEEK) AND THE COST IS HIGH. ECHELON BIOSCIENCES RECENTLY DEVELOPED PETH ELISA FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERED THE COST AND TURNAROUND TIME. THE IMPROVEMENT WAS SIGNIFICANT, BUT DUE TO THE NATURE OF PETH INCORPORATED IN RBC MEMBRANES, AN EXTRACTION STEP IS NEEDED BEFORE ELISA DETECTION. THE GOAL OF THIS PHASE I PROJECT IS TO DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY OF A PROTOTYPE RAPID POINT-OF-CARE PETH COMPETITIVE LATERAL FLOW IMMUNOASSAY (POC-LFI). ECHELON HAS PARTNERED WITH AN LFI EXPERT, DR. RICHARD WATT AT BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY, TO IMPROVE THE CONSISTENCY, SENSITIVITY, AND PREANALYTICAL METHODS TO CREATE AN IN VITRO PETH LFI APPROACHING 10 NG/ML FOR ABSTINENCE MONITORING, AND EX VIVO METHODS FOR WHOLE-BLOOD CLINICAL DETECTION OF PETH AT CONCENTRATIONS ≥ 200 NG/ML TO DETECT EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT WILL FULFILL AN UNMET NEED IN THE ALCOHOL TESTING MARKET. THERE ARE MULTIPLE SETTINGS AND APPLICATION FOR POC TESTING INCLUDING AUD ASSESSMENT, WORKPLACE SECURITY, ASSESSING ALCOHOL EXPOSURE IN NEONATES, FORENSIC/LEGAL CASES, AND IMPORTANTLY HELP CLINICIANS AND CAREGIVERS IDENTIFY PROBLEM DRINKING AND HELP THESE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE THE TREATMENTS THEY NEED.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY-AN ESTIMATED 200 RSVP VOLUNTEERS WILL SERVE. OF THIS NUMBER, 150 RSVP VOLUNTEERS WILL BE PLACED IN OUTCOME ASSIGNMENTS. SOME OF THEIR ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE COACHING EVIDENCE- BASED FALLS PREVENTION AND LIVING HEALTHY WORKSHOPS, DRIVING OLDER ADULTS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, PROVIDING VETERAN TO VETERAN COMPANIONSHIP AND SUPPORT, AND DELIVERING NUTRITIOUS MEALS TO THE HOMES OF OLDER ADULTS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. THE PRIMARY FOCUS AREA OF THIS PROJECT IS HEALTHY FUTURES. THE REMAINING 50 RSVP VOLUNTEERS WILL SERVE TO SUPPORT OTHER COMMUNITY PRIORITIES. SOME OF THEIR ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE SERVICE AS STATE CERTIFIED OMBUDSMAN, TO ADVOCATE FOR INDIVIDUALS IN NURSING HOMES. OTHERS WILL SERVE AS COUNSELORS IN LIFESPANS FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. THEY WILL PROVIDE IN HOME SUPPORT WITH BUDGETING, BALANCING CHECKBOOKS AND BILL PAYING. VOLUNTEERS SERVING OTHER COMMUNITY PRIORITIES WILL PROVIDE A SAFETY NET TO CATCH FINANCIAL AND OR HEALTHCARE ISSUES BEFORE THEY BECOME OUT OF CONTROL. THESE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES WILL HELP CREATE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL IN RECEIPT OF SERVICES. AT THE END OF THE THREE-YEAR GRANT, WE ANTICIPATE 250 PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE COMPLETED MATTER OF BALANCE, LIVING HEALTHY WITH DIABETES AND/OR TAI CHI FOR ARTHRITIS WORKSHOPS WITH 95 % INDICATING THEY WILL MAKE CHANGES TO LIFESTYLE BASED UPON THE INFORMATION SHARED.

STTR PHASE I: PERIPHERAL AUTONOMIC REGULATION TRAINING FOR MENTAL HEALTH: ENABLING MULTIMODAL PERIPHERAL BIOFEEDBACK IN A HIGHER EDUCATION SETTING -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT IS NOT LIMITED TO THE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITY, BUT HAS BROADER APPLICATION AT THE ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS, ESPECIALLY IN UNDERSERVED AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCING INCREASED RATES OF SUICIDE AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THIS PROJECT'S INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES CAN ASSIST IN THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IN THE COUNTRY'S YOUTH, AND SPECIFICALLY IN THE NATIVE AMERICAN HEALTH SYSTEM AS WELL AS JUVENILE DETAINEE/JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEMS. THIS PROJECT'S IMPLEMENTATION OF RESEARCH BASED ON THE BENEFITS OF GAME-BASED INTERVENTION COUPLED WITH BIOMETRIC SENSING HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE THE TECHNOLOGIES NECESSARY TO EQUIP THE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSION TO DEVELOP OPTIONS THAT COULD REPLACE PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS WITH A PATH TO DELIVERING PERSONALIZED AND MEASUREMENT-BASED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT USES PREDICTIVE ALGORITHMS, WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY AND PERIPHERAL AUTONOMIC BIOFEEDBACK TO PROVIDE TIMELY AND EFFECTIVE DATA TO ENABLE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO ENACT TREATMENTS AND THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS. CHALLENGES IN THE INCREASE OF ADULT MENTAL ILLNESS, SHORTAGE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND SHORTAGE OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRISTS REQUIRE A MOVE TOWARDS TELE-PSYCHIATRY, COLLABORATIVE CARE AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN INADEQUATE SUPPLY AND INCREASING DEMAND. THE PROPOSED APPROACH INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIO-BEHAVIORAL TECHNOLOGY THAT PROVIDES MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AN INTERACTIVE STRESS AND ANXIETY EVALUATION TO ENABLE DEEP, TRANSFORMATIVE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN YOUNG ADULTS AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS. 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.
