RIVERSIDE COUNTY WELLNESS COLLABORATIVE (RCWC) PROJECT

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - PROJECT ABSTRACT: NWTI EDUCATION FOUNDATION 709 S. OLD MISSOURI RD. SPRINGDALE, AR 72764 PROJECT DIRECTOR: MELISSA GREENSLADE VICE PRESIDENT OF INSTRUCTION, NORTHWEST TECHNICAL INSTITUTE MGREENSLADE@NWTI.EDU OFFICE: 479-751-8824 EXT. 105 THE NWTI EDUCATION FOUNDATION IS REQUESTING $10,000,000 IN FUNDING FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA) COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING PROJECT GRANT. THIS $10,000,000 GRANT WILL ASSIST IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 45,000 SQ. FT. MEDICAL EDUCATION BUILDING ON THE CAMPUS OF NORTHWEST TECHNICAL INSTITUTE (NWTI) CAMPUS LOCATED IN SPRINGDALE, ARKANSAS. THIS FACILITY WOULD ACCOMMODATE NWTI’S ALLIED HEALTH PROGRAMS IN LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSING (LPN), SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY, CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT (CNA), STERILE PROCESSING, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL ALLIED HEALTH PROGRAMS BEING CONSIDERED FOR FUTURE ENROLLMENT. THIS NEW MEDICAL EDUCATION BUILDING WOULD ALLOW NWTI TO INCREASE IT ALLIED HEALTH STUDENT ENROLLMENT FROM 100 STUDENTS TO 300 STUDENTS EACH YEAR. THE GRADUATES OF THESE PROGRAMS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE WORKFORCE GAP IN THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS REGION. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS FACILITY AT NWTI WILL ADDRESS THE NUMBER OF TRAINED HEALTHCARE WORKERS THAT WILL ENTER THE WORKFORCE ANNUALLY WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE WORKFORCE GAP IN THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. BASED ON DATA FROM THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS COUNCIL, THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 3600 UNFILLED MEDICAL POSITIONS IN THE REGION CURRENTLY AND ABOUT 85% OF THESE POSITIONS ARE IN THE MIDDLE-SKILL DEVELOPMENT AREA. NWTI IS THE PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL FACILITY IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THAT IS FOCUSED ON MIDDLE-SKILL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING AND THE PROPOSED MEDICAL EDUCATION BUILDING WILL ENSURE OPPORTUNITY FOR CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) TRAINING THAT WILL SATISFY THIS EMPLOYMENT NEED. BASED ON LABOR MARKET PROJECT IONS, THERE IS AN EMPLOYMENT SHORTFALL OF LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSES, SURGICAL TECHNOLOGISTS, AND CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANTS, ETC. IN A MEDICAL INDUSTRY THAT HAS BEEN DECIMATED BY THE COVID PANDEMIC. THE INCREASED ENROLLMENT IN NWTI ALLIED HEALTH PROGRAMS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE THE EMPLOYMENT SHORTFALL IN THE REGIONAL MEDICAL INDUSTRY. ADDITIONALLY, NWTI SERVES AN AREA WITH INCREASING DIVERSITY AND HIGH POVERTY LEVELS. MIDDLE-SKILL LEVEL PROGRAMS, LIKE THOSE OFFERED BY NWTI HELP TO BREAK THE BONDS OF GENERATIONAL POVERTY IN THE REGION. NWTI OFFERS PROGRAMS AT A LOWER COST AND SHORTER TIME FRAMES THAN TRADITIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION, MAKING ITS PROGRAMS MORE ACCESSIBLE TO MANY OF THESE STUDENTS. PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADERS, CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHERS HAVE INCREASED SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES THAT TARGET STUDENTS IN THIS DEMOGRAPHIC OFFERING THEM THE CHANCE TO PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION AND RAISE THE ECONOMIC STANDING OF MANY FAMILIES IN THE REGION, AND AS A RESULT, THE ADVANCED TRAINING OF THESE ALLIED HEALTH GRADUATES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTE TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. NWTI BEGAN THE PROCESS OF PURSUING CONSTRUCTION OF THE MEDICAL EDUCATION BUILDING APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO BY CONSULTING WITH HOSPITALS, CLINICS, AND OTHER MEDICAL PROVIDERS IN THE REGION, ALONG WITH EDUCATORS, CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND REGIONAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND OTHER WORKFORCE GROUPS TO DETERMINE THE NEEDS FOR EXPANSION IN THE MEDICAL AREA. WITH THE SUPPORT OF THESE GROUPS, NWTI BEGAN SEEKING FUNDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MEDICAL EDUCATION BUILDING. THE $10,000,000.00 REQUESTED IN THIS GRANT, ALONG WITH PREVIOUSLY RAISED FUNDS, WILL GO TOWARD THE CONSTRUCTION AND FURNISHING OF THIS MEDICAL EDUCATIONAL BUILDING, INCLUDING WORK TO PREPARE THE SITE FOR CONSTRUCTION, ARCHITECTURAL FEES, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FEES, INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT, SPECIALTY MEDICAL TRAINING EQUIPMENT, AND INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR FURNISHINGS.

EXPANDING THE RURAL HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE PIPELINE BY CONSTRUCTING A FACILITY TO EXPAND HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHILE ADDING DEDICATED RESIDENCY AND TRAINING SPACE FOR THE REGION'S HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE. - SALINA HEALTH EDUCATION FOUNDATION (SHEF), DOING BUSINESS AS SALINA FAMILY HEALTHCARE CENTER (SFHC), IS THE ONLY FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) IN SALINE COUNTY AND A LONGSTANDING ANCHOR FOR HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND RURAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN KANSAS. FORMED THROUGH THE MERGER OF THE SMOKY HILL FAMILY RESIDENCY PROGRAM AND THE SALINA CARES CLINIC, SFHC PROVIDES FULLY INTEGRATED MEDICAL, DENTAL, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PHARMACY, AND VISION SERVICES WHILE TRAINING FAMILY PHYSICIANS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS, DENTISTS, DENTAL HYGIENISTS, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. SFHC NOW SERVES MORE THAN 12,000 PATIENTS ANNUALLY—A 38 PERCENT INCREASE OVER THE PAST DECADE—CREATING SEVERE SPACE CONSTRAINTS IN ITS CURRENT FACILITY, A RENOVATED FORMER YWCA. TO ADDRESS THESE LIMITATIONS, SFHC HAS DESIGNED A NEW 74,854 SQUARE FOOT CONSOLIDATED FACILITY AT 530 S. OHIO STREET IN SALINA, KANSAS. THE BUILDING WILL UNIFY ALL CLINICAL SERVICES, SUPPORT FUNCTIONS, AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS UNDER ONE ROOF, PROVIDING ADEQUATE SPACE FOR CURRENT AND PROJECTED DEMAND; PROVIDE PURPOSE BUILT CLINICAL AND EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS THAT IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND PATIENT FLOW; AND CREATE INTEGRATED CARE AND TRAINING SPACES THAT STRENGTHEN INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION. THE PROJECT DIRECTLY SUPPORTS SFHC’S DUAL MISSION OF EXPANDING ACCESS TO CARE AND PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION OF RURAL HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING A RESIDENCY PROGRAM WHERE MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF GRADUATES ENTER LONG TERM RURAL PRACTICE. THE CPF/CDS REQUEST OF $3,261,000 WILL FUND ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS NECESSARY TO ENSURE A SAFE, ACCESSIBLE, AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL HEALTHCARE AND TRAINING ENVIRONMENT. THESE ELEMENTS ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO MEETING MODERN REGULATORY STANDARDS AND ENABLING SFHC TO EXPAND WHOLE PERSON CARE, IMPROVE CARE COORDINATION, AND INCREASE TRAINING CAPACITY. THE PROJECT RESPONDS DIRECTLY TO COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED NEEDS ACROSS SFHC’S FIVE COUNTY SERVICE AREA, WHERE LIMITED ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE, DENTAL CARE, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, AND AFFORDABLE MEDICATIONS REMAIN TOP CONCERNS. THE NEW FACILITY WILL EXPAND EXAM ROOMS, DENTAL OPERATORIES, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSULT SPACES, AND PHARMACY CAPACITY, WHILE SUPPORTING THE ADDITION OF 20 NEW STAFF POSITIONS. IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE REQUIRED TO EXPAND RESIDENCY POSITIONS AND CLINICAL ROTATIONS, STRENGTHENING KANSAS’S RURAL HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE PIPELINE. SFHC HAS SECURED FULL SITE CONTROL, COMPLETED PHASE I AND PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS, AND OBTAINED SHPO CLEARANCE AND TRIBAL CONSULTATION RESPONSES. THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS STRONG ADMINISTRATIVE, FINANCIAL, AND OPERATIONAL CAPACITY, WITH A LEADERSHIP TEAM THAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED MORE THAN $5 MILLION IN HRSA FUNDED INITIATIVES. THROUGH THIS CAPITAL INVESTMENT, SFHC WILL DELIVER A MODERN, INTEGRATED, AND SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE HOME THAT EXPANDS ACCESS, IMPROVES CARE QUALITY, AND STRENGTHENS RURAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR DECADES TO COME FOR OUR REGION AND STATE.

MOLECULAR TOOL DEVELOPMENT TO IDENTIFY, ISOLATE, AND INTERROGATE THE ROD MICROGLIA PHENOTYPE IN NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE AND INJURY - OUR PATHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF ACQUIRED NEUROLOGICAL INJURY UNCOVERED THE ROD MICROGLIA VARIANT OF ACTIVATED IMMUNE CELLS IN THE BRAIN. OVER A CENTURY AGO, SIMILAR ROD MICROGLIA WERE HAND DRAWN TO INDICATE NEUROPATHOLOGY IN GENERAL PARESIS, TYPHOID, AND CHEMICAL EXPOSURE, AND THEN LARGELY IGNORED. FOLLOWING OUR 2012 PUBLICATION, ROD MICROGLIA HAVE BEEN VISUALIZED IN POST-MORTEM TISSUE WITH CLINICAL AND NEUROPATHOLOGICAL CONFIRMATION OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (ADRD), IN ADDITION TO EPILEPSY, MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS, AND OTHERS. YET NO MOLECULAR TOOLS EXIST FOR PRECISE MOLECULAR INVESTIGATION OF ROD MICROGLIA. AS CELLULAR MECHANISMS OF ADRD AND INJURY INCLUDE NEUROINFLAMMATION AND CONCOMITANT MICROGLIA ACTIVATION, A CRITICAL PROBLEM EMERGES FROM OUR INABILITY TO DETECT AND ANALYZE ROD MICROGLIA WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ADRD/BRAIN INJURY NEUROINFLAMMATION. THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE ON ROD MICROGLIA RELIES SOLELY ON HISTOLOGICAL STAINS AND NON-SPECIFIC MICROGLIA ANTIBODIES (E.G., IBA1, CD68, CX3CR1) FOR POST-MORTEM MICROSCOPIC IDENTIFICATION. OUR MOST RECENT SINGLE-CELL RNASEQ DATA FROM 100 ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (AD) AND CONTROL SUBJECTS IDENTIFIED A UNIQUE CLUSTER OF MICROGLIA DEFINED BY GENES FOR MOTILITY, CYTOSKELETAL ACTIN DYNAMICS, AND MOVEMENT OF MICROGLIAL PROCESSES; CONFIRMATION OF THIS CLUSTER AS ROD MICROGLIA CANNOT OCCUR WITHOUT NEW MOLECULAR TOOLS TO PHENOTYPE THIS ELUSIVE MICROGLIA VARIANT. FOR THIS BIOENGINEERING RESEARCH GRANT (PAR 19-158), COLLECTIONS OF MOLECULAR TOOLS AND MARKERS UNIQUE TO THE ROD MICROGLIA VARIANT WILL BE DEVELOPED, VALIDATED, AND VERIFIED TO ENABLE FUTURE DIAGNOSTIC, PROGNOSTIC, AND MECHANISTIC STUDIES OF NEUROINFLAMMATION PROGRESSION IN CASES OF ADRD AND BRAIN INJURY. TO DEVELOP THESE TOOLS, WE PROPOSE A DIFFUSE BRAIN-INJURY MODEL THAT GENERATES FIELDS OF ROD MICROGLIA ADJACENT TO NEURONAL DENDRITES. FROM THIS TISSUE, WE WILL CAPTURE (LCM) CX3CR1-EGFP ROD MICROGLIA AND NON-ROD MICROGLIA FOR PHAGE DISPLAY BIOPANNING FROM A LIBRARY OF HUMAN-DERIVED VARIABLE HEAVY-CHAIN BINDING DOMAIN ANTIBODIES (DAB). SYNTHETIC CYCLIZED HCDR3 PEPTIDES WILL BE DEVELOPED AS DAB MIMETICS UNIQUE TO ROD MICROGLIA (OBJECTIVE 1). SPATIAL TRANSCRIPTOMICS OF THE ROD MICROGLIA VARIANT USING THE NANOSTRING GEOMX DIGITAL SPATIAL PROFILER WILL DETERMINE DIFFERENTIALLY EXPRESSED GENES BETWEEN ROD AND NON-ROD MICROGLIA (OBJECTIVE 2). PATHWAY ANALYSIS WILL IDENTIFY CELLULAR PROCESSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRUCTURE, FUNCTION, MOTILITY, AND ORIGIN OF ROD MICROGLIA. FOR EACH OBJECTIVE, NEW MOLECULAR TOOLS ARE VALIDATED AND VERIFIED ACROSS TIME POST-INJURY, BETWEEN SEXES, AND IN EXPERIMENTAL MODELS OF MIXED PATHOLOGY TBI, STROKE, AND AD (FAMILIAL AND LATE-ONSET AMYLOIDOSIS), AS WELL AS POST-MORTEM HUMAN AD/ADRD TISSUE. THE NEW TOOLS PROPOSED IN THIS APPLICATION WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY, ISOLATE, AND INTERROGATE THE ROD MICROGLIA VARIANT, WHILE EXPANDING THE CONCEPT OF NEUROINFLAMMATION IN AGING, INJURY, AND DISEASE TO INCLUDE THE OVERLOOKED ROD MICROGLIA VARIANT THAT PRESENTS ADJACENT TO NEURONAL DENDRITES. WITH REFINED MOLECULAR TOOLS, ROD MICROGLIA CAN BE INVESTIGATED ACROSS MANY NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS AND INCORPORATED INTO UNIFYING PRINCIPLES THAT EXPLAIN MICROGLIAL ACTIVATION AND NEUROINFLAMMATION. 33

CONEXIONES IS AN INITIATIVE BY THE EL PASO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TO BRING ITS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE AS A LANGUAGE EDUCATION LEADER TO MILITARY CONNECTED STUDENTS. HISTORICALLY THE DISTRICTS THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY NINE MILITARY CONNECTED STUDENTS FROM FORT BLISS HAVE HAD LOWER PARTICIPATION IN DUAL LANGUAGE BECAUSE THEIR HIGH MOBILITY PROHIBITS THEM FROM TAKING PART IN THE COMPREHENSIVE ELEMENTARY PROGRAM. BLISS,HUGHEY,MILAM,AND POWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WILL PILOT THE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM CONEXIONES THAT WILL PROVIDE K THROUGH 5 STUDENTS WITH SPANISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION COMPLEMENTED BY LESSONS ON HISPANIC CULTURE. AS MILITARY CONNECTED STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT THE ARTS,CUSTOMS,AND TRADITIONS OF THE PREDOMINANTLY HISPANIC REGION,THOSE WHO WERE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE CULTURE WILL GAIN EXPOSURE TO HELP THEM ACCLIMATE TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. OUTSIDE OF REGULAR CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES,CONEXIONES WILL ENGAGE PARENTS THROUGH MONTHLY PROGRAM NEWSLETTERS AND FAMILY NIGHT ACTIVITIES CULMINATING IN THE ANNUAL WORLD LANGUAGE FESTIVAL,FURTHER CEMENTING THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN MILITARY CONNECTED FAMILIES AND THE GREATER EL PASO COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM WILL BE SUPPORTED BY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS THAT WILL BUILD EL PASO ISD CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT CONEXIONES AND EVENTUALLY EXPAND IT TO OTHER CAMPUSES AND STUDENT POPULATIONS. ULTIMATELY,THIS WORLD LANGUAGE INITIATIVE WILL NOT ONLY INCREASE STUDENTS EXPOSURE TO THE SPANISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE OF THE AREA SURROUNDING FORT BLISS BUT ALSO TEACH THEM CULTURAL COMPETENCIES THAT WILL HELP THEM FEEL LESS ISOLATED FROM THE COMMUNITY. THESE ARE TRANSFERABLE SKILLS THAT WILL SERVE MILITARY CONNECTED STUDENTS THROUGH FUTURE RELOCATIONS,HIGHER EDUCATION,AND THEIR EVENTUAL CAREERS.
