SBIR PHASE II: ENGINEERING BROAD-SPECTRUM DISEASE RESISTANCE IN SOYBEAN WITHOUT FITNESS COST -THE BROADER IMPACT OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL GENETIC TRAIT THAT ALLOWS PLANTS TO RAPIDLY RESPOND TO ATTACKING PATHOGENS. DESPITE MODERN AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND CHEMISTRY IMPROVEMENTS, ALMOST 40% OF ALL CROP PRODUCTION IS LOST DUE TO PESTS AND PATHOGENS EACH YEAR; WITHIN THE U.S. OVER 25% OF SOYBEAN PRODUCTION IS LOST THIS WAY. THESE LOSSES ARE EVEN MORE SEVERE IN REGIONS WHERE PESTICIDE APPLICATION IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE FOR FARMERS. THIS PROJECT DEVELOPS A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR USE IN SOYBEAN AND OTHER OILSEED CROPS TO PROTECT AGAINST PLANT DISEASE. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A BROAD-SPECTRUM PATHOGEN RESISTANCE TRAIT. WHILE THE FIRST GENERATION OF TRANSGENIC TRAIT TECHNOLOGIES CONFERRING HERBICIDE TOLERANCE AND INSECTICIDAL TRAITS HAVE BEEN READILY ESTABLISHED FOR OILSEED PRODUCTION ACROSS NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA, FURTHER DEVELOPMENT HAS FALTERED DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THESE PLANT TRAITS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROTEINS THAT PROVIDE THE BEST TOLERANCE TO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ALSO RESULT IN TOXIC SIDE-EFFECTS WHEN PRODUCED IN HEALTHY PLANTS; CONSEQUENTLY, THE UTILITY OF DEVELOPING THESE PROTEINS IS LIMITED. CURRENT METHODS FOR REGULATING EXPRESSION OF RESISTANCE PROTEINS INTRODUCED INTO PLANTS THROUGH GENETIC ENGINEERING ARE INSUFFICIENT TO REGULATE TOXIC PROTEINS/COMPOUNDS THAT MAY HAVE SIDE-EFFECTS IN OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE AN EXPRESSION SYSTEM THAT RESPONDS TO SIGNALS, COMMON TO BOTH BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL PATHOGENS, IN THE EARLY AND LATE STAGES OF THE PLANT IMMUNE RESPONSE TO RELEASE THE PRODUCTION OF ANTI-MICROBIAL PROTEINS ONLY IN WHEN NEEDED, EFFECTIVELY ELIMINATING THE OFF-TARGET SIDE-EFFECTS. THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES ARE TO 1) PERFORM FIELD AND GREENHOUSE TRIAL OF SOYBEAN WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY TO ASCERTAIN EXTENT OF PATHOGEN RESISTANCE AND YIELD EFFECTS IN INFECTED AND HEALTHY CONDITIONS; 2) OPTIMIZE THE TECHNOLOGY FOR TISSUE SPECIFIC (I.E., ROOTS VS. LEAVES) USE IN SOYBEAN; 3) CONDUCT GREENHOUSE EXPERIMENTS TO DETERMINE RESPONSE TO PATHOGEN DETECTION IN CANOLA, COTTON, AND POTATO AS CANDIDATES FOR FUTURE FIELD TRIALS AND COMMERCIALIZATION. 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.

HYDROFORECAST LONG-TERM: IMPROVING HYDROPOWER'S RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH ACCURATE CLIMATE-SCALE STREAMFLOW AVAILABILITY ESTIMATES

ENSURING A SAFE WATER SUPPLY FOR SOCIETY AND THE SECTORS THAT RELY ON WATER FOR ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL PURPOSES IS A DIFFICULT PROBLEM THAT NEEDS SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN R&D ACROSS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS. CLIMATE CHANGE ACCELERATES AND EXACERBATES THIS CHALLENGE, CAUSING A BREAKDOWN IN SOME TRADITIONAL APPROACHES THAT USE THE PAST TO PREDICT THE FUTURE STREAMFLOW ON A SEASONAL (10 DAY TO ONE YEAR) HORIZON. WATER MANAGERS PLANNING ON THIS SEASONAL TIMESCALE NEED HELP ADVANCING MODELS, TOOLS, AND TRANSFORMING MODEL RESULTS INTO ACTIONABLE INFORMATION FOR MAKING DECISIONS. IN THIS PHASE I EFFORT, UPSTREAM TECH PROPOSES TO EXPAND ITS HYDROFORECAST SEASONAL PROTOTYPE BY ACHIEVING THREE TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES: 1) IMPROVE METHODOLOGY AND DATA USED FOR GENERATING WEATHER FORECAST INPUTS, 2) INTEGRATE A NEW WEATHER FORECASTING SOURCE TO IMPROVE ACCURACY AT LONGER LEAD TIMES, AND 3) BENCHMARK PERFORMANCE IN CRITICAL BASINS THAT BENEFIT CUSTOMERS AND SOCIETY.

EMPOWER STOP ACT 2025 APPLICATION - UPSTREAM PREVENTION, INC. IS PROUD TO SERVE AS THE FISCAL AGENT FOR EMPOWER JOHNSON COUNTY'S STOP ACT GRANT APPLICATION. FORMED IN 2015, EMPOWER HAS FOCUSED ON EMPOWERING THE JOHNSON COUNTY COMMUNITY TO REDUCE AND PREVENT YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE THROUGH ADVOCACY, EDUCATION, AND ENFORCEMENT. EMPOWER HAS DEMONSTRATED SUCCESS IN REDUCING YOUTH ALCOHOL USE AND INCREASING AND MAINTAINING HIGH LEVELS OF PERCEIVED PARENTAL DISAPPROVAL (ALSO A PRIORITY FOCUS) SINCE ITS INCEPTION. HOWEVER, SUSTAINED EARLY INITIATION OF ALCOHOL USE AND A SHOCKING DROP IN THE PERCEPTION OF HARM INDICATE JOHNSON COUNTY NEEDS ADDITIONAL EFFORTS WITH A BROADENED FOCUS. IF AWARDED, EMPOWER WILL REDUCE ALCOHOL USE BY FOCUSING ON REDUCING RISK FACTORS AND INCREASING PROTECTIVE FACTORS, SPECIFICALLY THE PERCEPTION OF HARM OF SUBSTANCE USE, AND COMMUNITY REWARDS FOR PROSOCIAL INVOLVEMENT. WE HAVE OUTLINED STRATEGIES TO COMPLEMENT THE CURRENT INITIATIVES IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING AN UPDATED LOGIC MODEL, PEER-TO-PEER MESSAGING CREATED BY OUR EMPOWERED YOUTH COALITION, ATTENDANCE AND INVOLVEMENT AT LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL MEETINGS, HOSTING COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, AND SUBSTANCE-FREE EVENTS FOR YOUTH AND PARENTS. THESE EFFORTS WILL FOCUS ON IMPACTING OUR YOUTH AND THE CARING ADULTS IN THEIR LIVES THROUGHOUT JOHNSON COUNTY, INDIANA (POPULATION 167,000). KEY OBJECTIVES TO BE ACHIEVED IN THIS PROJECT INCLUDE: (1.1) MAINTAIN COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS (BASELINE OF 7.5 IN 2020) EACH BUDGET YEAR, (1.2) INCREASE THE PROPORTION OF 8TH AND 10TH GRADE STUDENTS AT HIGH PROTECTION FOR COMMUNITY REWARDS FOR PROSOCIAL INVOLVEMENT BY 16 PERCENTAGE POINTS FROM THE 2020 BASELINE (FROM 28% TO 36% FOR 8TH GRADERS; FROM 34% TO 42% FOR 10TH GRADERS) BY SEPTEMBER 29, 2025, (2.1) DECREASE THE PAST 30-DAY USE OF ALCOHOL BY 8TH GRADE STUDENTS FROM THE 2020 BASELINE OF 6% TO 5% AND 10TH GRADE ALCOHOL USE FROM THE 2020 BASELINE OF 19% TO 17% BY SEPTEMBER 29, 2025, AND (2.2) INCREASE THE PROPORTION OF 8TH AND 10TH-GRADE STUDENTS WHO PERCEIVE SUBSTANCE USE TO BE HARMFUL BY 12 PERCENTAGE POINTS FROM THE 2020 BASELINE (12% TO 24% FOR 8TH AND 29% TO 41% FOR 10TH GRADERS) BY SEPTEMBER 29, 2025. WE ESTIMATE TO SERVE 28,824 INDIVIDUALS EACH YEAR, FOR A CUMULATIVE TOTAL OF 115,296 DUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS.
