ANALYSES TO REVEAL TRAJECTORIES AND EARLY MARKERS OF IMMINENT SHIFTS IN SUICIDAL STATES - PROJECT SUMMARY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT NEARLY HALF OF SUICIDE DECEDENTS VISIT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER IN THE WEEKS PRIOR TO THEIR DEATH. YET, EXISTING SUICIDE SCREENING APPROACHES IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS FAIL TO IDENTIFY MOST PATIENTS WHO GO ON TO ENGAGE IN SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR (SB) OR DIE BY SUICIDE. WE PROPOSE A LARGE-SCALE STUDY TO DEVELOP CLINICALLY ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES TO IDENTIFY WHICH INDIVIDUALS WILL EXPERIENCE CLINICALLY MEANINGFUL INCREASES IN SUICIDE RISK, WHAT TOOLS OR BEHAVIORAL MARKERS ARE MOST SENSITIVE TO DETECTING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN SUICIDE RISK STATES, AND WHEN THESE SHIFTS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR TO INFORM CLINICAL CARE. THE PROPOSED STUDY BUILDS ON OUR TEAM’S EXTENSIVE EXPERTISE IN LARGE-SCALE RECRUITMENT, INTENSIVE LONGITUDINAL ASSESSMENT, BEHAVIORAL PHENOTYPING, CLINICAL SIGNATURES OF SUICIDE RISK, AND DYNAMIC AND COMPUTATIONALLY INTENSIVE MODELING APPROACHES TO RISK PREDICTION. APPROXIMATELY 13,500 PARTICIPANTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 55 WILL BE RECRUITED, REPRESENTING VARYING LEVELS OF RISK FOR SUICIDE. MOST PARTICIPANTS WILL BE RECRUITED NATIONALLY WITH POSTCARD MAILINGS TO TARGETED ZIP-CODE REPRESENTATIVE AREAS (N=8- 10,000), AND INCLUDE THOSE WITH A PRIMARY HEALTH CARE VISIT IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS (LOWEST RISK CATEGORY). ADDITIONAL, HIGHER-RISK PARTICIPANTS (N=4200) WILL BE RECRUITED BASED UPON RECENT HEALTH CARE VISITS, INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS FROM DEPRESSION CLINICS, PTSD PROGRAMS, PSYCHOSIS AND RISK FOR PSYCHOSIS CLINICS, SLEEP CLINICS, PAIN CLINICS, AND CLINICS FOR UNDERINSURED PEOPLE, TO INCLUDE A RANGE OF MODERATE AND HIGH RISK GROUPS FOR SUICIDE RISK. WE WILL COLLECT SIX TOTAL WEEKS OF SELF-REPORT ASSESSMENTS, WITH ECOLOGICAL MOMENTARY ASSESSMENT, COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE BEHAVIORAL TASKS, AND PASSIVE SENSING DATA TO DEVELOP A RICHLY PHENOTYPED SAMPLE FOR MODELING VARIABLE TRAJECTORIES OF SUICIDE RISK OVER TIME (AIM 1). WE WILL LEVERAGE THIS DATA TO PREDICT TEMPORAL PATTERNS THAT SIGNAL TRANSITIONS FROM LOW TO HIGH-RISK STATES, AND VICE VERSA, USING INNOVATIVE AND COMPUTATIONALLY INTENSIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS ANALYSES (AIM 2). WE WILL IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT MODULATE THESE TRANSITIONS AND IDENTIFY THE MINIMUM DATA REQUIRED FOR ROBUST MODEL ESTIMATES (AIM 3). WITH THE COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT, A NOVEL COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH TO SIGNALING AN INDIVIDUAL PATIENT’S CURRENT PROBABILITY FOR TRANSITIONING TO A HIGHER OR LOWER SUICIDE RISK STATE WITHIN CLINICALLY RELEVANT TIMEFRAMES (DAYS TO WEEKS) WILL BE AVAILABLE, ALONG WITH A RICH CROSS-DIAGNOSTIC DATASET OF COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE, AND BEHAVIORAL DATA FROM A NATIONWIDE SAMPLE.

NSF ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER FOR HYBRID AUTONOMOUS MANUFACTURING MOVING FROM EVOLUTION TO REVOLUTION (ERC-HAMMER) -THE ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER, HYBRID AUTONOMOUS MANUFACTURING, MOVING FROM EVOLUTION TO REVOLUTION (HAMMER), WILL ADVANCE NATIONAL GOALS TO ASSERT AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING BY DEVELOPING AND TRANSITIONING NEW MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES TO INDUSTRY USE. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE CENTER WILL DRIVE NEW TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND PROVIDE CREDENTIALS THAT WILL PREPARE, UPSKILL, OR RESKILL THE RELEVANT WORKFORCE, AND EXPAND CAPABILITIES ACROSS THE MANUFACTURING SUPPLY CHAIN TO MEET NATIONAL NEEDS. CORE PARTNERS OF THE CENTER INCLUDE THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL STATE UNIVERSITY, CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE. THEY WILL WORK WITH COLLABORATORS FROM MORE THAN 70 INDUSTRIES, EDUCATIONAL, AND TECHNICAL ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT NEW MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES FOR AGILE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY-ASSURED COMPONENTS. THROUGH BASIC, APPLIED, AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH, HAMMER WILL ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF INTELLIGENT AUTONOMOUS MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS THAT WILL USE MULTIPLE PROCESSES TO CONTROL MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND COMPONENT DIMENSIONS TO ALLOW RAPID CUSTOMIZATION AND HIGH ASSURED PERFORMANCE. THESE SYSTEMS WILL LEARN FROM EACH OPERATION, IMPROVING THEMSELVES OVER TIME. IMPORTANTLY, AS HAMMER WORKS TO DEVELOP A NEW CLASS OF ENGINEERS AND TECHNICIANS, IT WILL ALSO ACTIVELY WORK TO ENHANCE DIVERSITY IN THE MANUFACTURING TALENT PIPELINE, BUILDING ON THE EVIDENCE-BASED SUCCESS OF FAB LABS AND MAKERSPACES TO ATTRACT STUDENTS AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES. SPECIAL EMPHASIS WILL BE FOCUSED ON INCLUDING URBAN, MILITARY, AND APPALACHIAN COMMUNITIES IN EDUCATIONAL PIPELINE PROGRAMS. ULTIMATELY, HAMMER WILL ENSURE THIS COUNTRY?S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, REBUILD THE U.S. INDUSTRIAL BASE, CREATE NEW HIGH-SKILLED, HIGHLY PAID JOBS, AND UNLEASH AMERICAN INGENUITY BY PROVIDING COST-EFFECTIVE, LOCAL, CUSTOMIZED PRODUCTION. HAMMER?S PRIMARY GOAL IS TO ENABLE THE CONCURRENT DESIGN OF PRODUCTS WITH NOVEL MANUFACTURING PROCESSES USING HYBRID (OR MULTI-TOOL) MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS AND PATHWAYS. THIS APPROACH WILL AUTOMATE AND GREATLY EXTEND THE FLEXIBILITY AND INGENUITY OF PRACTICING HUMAN ARTISANS. THE HAMMER FRAMEWORK WILL USE DESIGNS THAT WILL ENABLE LEVERAGING RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ROBOTICS AND SENSORS, LEADING TO NOVEL CONVERGENT PROCESSES. NEW CONTROL, AUTONOMY, AND INTELLIGENCE APPROACHES WILL GUIDE, AND LEARN FROM PRIOR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. QUALITY WILL BE ASSURED THROUGH UNDERSTANDING AND PREDICTING THE LOCAL STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL BEING PROCESSED WITHIN QUANTIFIED UNCERTAINTY LIMITS. ULTIMATELY, HAMMER WILL ADVANCE THE CURRENT STATE OF TECHNOLOGY TO UNITE DESIGN, TOOLS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS ENGINEERING INTO A SINGLE FRAMEWORK, ENABLING THE AGILE PRODUCTION OF COMPONENTS. THESE COMPONENTS WILL POSSESS LOCALLY OPTIMIZED MATERIALS CHEMISTRY, MICROSTRUCTURE, AND PROPERTIES IN WAYS THAT ARE NOT ATTAINABLE CURRENTLY. THE RELEVANT SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE IN EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE WITH EXPERIENCE. SPECIFIC USE CASES TO BE CONSIDERED INCLUDE: 1) NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED DEFORMATION SEQUENCES AND EQUIPMENT TO CREATE COMPLEX COMPONENTS THAT MAY BE CURRENTLY PRODUCED AS CLOSED DIE FORGINGS, BUT WITH REDUCED LEAD-TIME AND IMPROVED PERFORMANCE, 2) EMPLOYING NUMERICALLY-CONTROLLED DEFORMATION TO LOCALLY OPTIMIZE PROPERTIES IN ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS, 3) EXPANDING CAPABILITIES FOR POINT-OF-CARE MANUFACTURING WHEREIN AUTOMATED OPERATIONS INCLUDING DEFORMATION ARE USED TO RAPIDLY TAILOR MEDICAL DEVICES TO THE PATIENT ANATOMY, AND 4) DEVELOPING LOW-COST, DESKTOP TRAINING SYSTEMS THAT PROVIDE STUDENTS HANDS-ON LEARNING IN PROGRAMMING, OPERATING, AND MAINTAINING NEW MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS EXPERIENCES CREATING NEW PHYSICAL PRODUCTS USING INCREMENTAL DEFORMATION AND HYBRID PROCESSES. STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH INDUSTRY, EDUCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL ORGANIZATIONS WILL ENABLE HAMMER TO TRAIN PERSONNEL AT MANY LEVELS FROM PRE-COLLEGE TO PRACTICING ENGINEERS. HAMMER WILL LEAD NEXT-GENERATION CERTIFICATION STANDARDS TO FACILITATE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES BY THE ASSOCIATED WORKFORCE. 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.

THE OSU CENTER FOR CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE: ADVANCING TODAY'S DISCOVERIES TO IMPROVE HEALTH - ABTRACT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY (OSU) CENTER FOR CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE (CCTS) WAS FORMED IN 2007, WITH THE VISION TO ADVANCE TODAY’S DISCOVERIES TO IMPROVE HEALTH FOR ALL. WE EMPLOYED A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF T1-T4 SCIENCE VIA THE EDUCATION AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY TRAINED WORKFORCE INTEGRATED WITH A ROBUST SYSTEM OF CTR RESOURCES. WE PROVIDED LEADERSHIP IN THE CTSA CONSORTIUM THROUGH SHARING OF TOOLS AND METHODS TO ADVANCE CTR; ADOPTED INNOVATIONS FROM OTHER HUBS; AND FULLY ENGAGED IN CTSA CONSORTIUM ACTIVITIES (E.G., MULTISITE TRIALS). WE ALSO SUPPORTED COMMUNITY ENGAGED RESEARCH ADDRESSING THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH ISSUES IN OUR COMMUNITIES (E.G., OPIOID CRISIS, COVID-19). YET, WORK REMAINS. THUS, WE BUILD UPON UNIQUE STRENGTHS AT OSU/NCH AND IN OHIO’S COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE LEVERAGED OUR STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IN DATA SCIENCES, A ROBUST ENVIRONMENT OF RESOURCES, AND A VIBRANT CTR COMMUNITY TO ADDRESS CTS GAPS AND BARRIERS. WE WILL NOW ADDRESS FIVE CTS ROADBLOCKS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY, EFFICIENCY, AND RIGOR OF CTR: (1) NEED FOR IMPROVED EFFICIENCIES AND EFFECTIVENESS TO ADVANCE CTR AND ENSURE RESULTS ARE DISSEMINATED AND IMPLEMENTED INTO HEALTHCARE; 2) EDUCATION AND TRAINING INNOVATIONS DO NOT REACH THE FULL CTR WORKFORCE, RESULTING IN A DECLINING AND INADEQUATELY DIVERSE CTS WORKFORCE, LACKING THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO ADVANCE CTR; 3) LIMITED AUTHENTIC PARTICIPATION BY DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS THE RESEARCH LIFE CYCLE; 4) GROWTH OF COMPLEX DATASETS NECESSITATES INTEGRATION OF CLINICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND RESEARCH DATA, WITH NEED FOR DEMOCRATIZATION OF DATA ACCESSIBILITY TO ADVANCE DATA EQUITY; AND 5) RACIAL INJUSTICE, SDOH, THE CTR TEAMS WE FORM, AND INTERPRETATION OF OUR RESULTS IMPACT HEALTH DISPARITIES. APPLYING A HEALTH EQUITY AND DEIA FRAMEWORK TO EVERY ACTIVITY, WE WILL PURSUE FIVE AIMS: AIM 1: DEVELOP INNOVATIONS IN METHODS, APPROACHES, AND TOOLS TO ADDRESS PRESSING ROADBLOCKS FACING CTR. AIM 2: SUPPORT TRAINING AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT OF THE FULL CTS WORKFORCE. AIM 3: ENGAGE VOICES FROM ACROSS ACADEMIC AND SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES, PATIENTS, COMMUNITIES, AND INDUSTRY TO CONDUCT CTR AND CTS ACROSS THE FULL LIFECYCLE OF THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. AIM 4: DEPLOY AN ACCESSIBLE, RESPONSIVE, AND INTEGRATED SYSTEM OF RESEARCH RESOURCES. AIM 5: DEMOCRATIZE INFORMATICS RESOURCES BY LOWERING THE COST OF ENTRY FOR DATA ACCESS AND COMPUTING RESOURCES. WITH A COMMITMENT TO METRIC-DRIVEN DECISION-MAKING, WE WILL EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF THE CCTS BY APPLYING THE RE- AIM FRAMEWORK TO INFORM STRATEGIC PIVOTS OVER THE NEXT 7 YEARS. THIS PROPOSAL REAFFIRMS OUR COMMITMENT TO ADVANCE CTS AND EXPANDS OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO INCREASE RIGOROUS, IMPACTFUL, AND RELEVANT CTR. WE WILL DEVELOP, SHARE, AND ADOPT INNOVATIONS THROUGH FOCUSED CTS TO ENHANCE CTR FOR THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND THOSE WE ENGAGE. THESE RESOURCES, SKILLED WORKFORCE, AND INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHS PROVIDE AN AGILE FOUNDATION TO FACILITATE RAPID RESPONSES TO EMERGING PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES, AND WILL ENSURE AN EQUITY LENS IS APPLIED TO ALL CTR SO NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND FROM THE ADVANCES OF CTR TO IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH.

CENTER: NSF ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER FOR TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN RUBBER THROUGH DOMESTIC INNOVATION FOR SUPPLY SECURITY (TARDISS) -THE GENERATION-4 NSF ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER TITLED ?TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN RUBBER THROUGH DOMESTIC INNOVATION FOR SUPPLY SECURITY: TARDISS? WILL LEAD FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH TOWARDS US NATURAL RUBBER BIOMANUFACTURING. CURRENTLY THE SINGLE COMMERCIAL SOURCE OF NATURAL RUBBER IS THE TROPICAL RUBBER TREE (HEVEA BRASILIENSIS), WITH PRODUCTION AREAS ALL OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. TARDISS WILL USE A SYSTEMS ENGINEERING APPROACH TO INTEGRATE ENGINEERING WITH BIOLOGY, BIOTECHNOLOGY, AGRICULTURE, AND OTHER DISCIPLINES OPTIMIZING ALTERNATIVE PLANTS TO PRODUCE ENTIRELY NEW NATURAL RUBBER MATERIALS AT SCALE. THE TARDISS TEAM WILL COLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITIES, FARMERS, PROCESSORS AND RUBBER MANUFACTURERS TO ENABLE BIOMANUFACTURING-BASED NATURAL RUBBER PRODUCTION OPTIMIZED TO LARGE PARTS OF THE US, WITH A FOCUS ON MARGINAL AGRICULTURAL LANDS. TARDISS WILL ENABLE A CIRCULAR BIOMANUFACTURING ECONOMY THAT RESPECTS NATURAL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING POLLINATOR SERVICES BY THE NEW DOMESTIC CROPS, WATER RECYCLING AND RE-USE, ADDITIONAL CO2 CAPTURE, AND AN ESTIMATED 2 MILLION JOBS TIED TO US SOIL. ENGINEERING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE TRAINING IN THIS NEW U.S. AREA, FEATURING AN INCLUSION EFFORT INVOLVING UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES AND ?NEURODIVERSE? YOUNG PERSONS DIAGNOSED WITH DYSLEXIA AND AUTISM. THE OUTCOMES WILL BE A SUSTAINABLE DOMESTIC RUBBER INDUSTRY AND A NEW, YOUNG WORKFORCE CONVERGING ENGINEERING AND AGRICULTURE TRAINED THROUGH A NEW AMERICAN RUBBER ACADEMY. THE ?U.S. SUNLIGHT TO MATERIALS? VISION MOTIVATING THE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING APPROACH OF TARDISS IS ENCAPSULATED BY TWO HYPOTHESES: #1: THE U.S. CAN REPLACE IMPORTED NATURAL RUBBER (NR) WITH RUBBER FROM DOMESTIC CROPS, UTILIZING MARGINAL AGRICULTURAL LANDS, HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS, AND NEW EXTRACTION METHODS; AND #2: THE U.S. CAN REPLACE IMPORTED GOODS WITH PRODUCTS MADE WITH HOME-GROWN NATURAL RUBBER. TARDISS WILL INTEGRATE ENGINEERING WITH BIOLOGY AND OTHER SCIENCE DISCIPLINES VIA THE FOLLOWING THREE RESEARCH THRUSTS: 1: BIOENGINEERING WILL CONVERGE ENGINEERING, BIOCHEMISTRY, ENZYME CHEMISTRY, AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY TO FUNDAMENTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW PLANTS NATURALLY PRODUCE RUBBER. NATURAL DIVERSITY WILL BE COMBINED WITH GENETIC APPROACHES TO TAILOR HYDROPONIC DANDELION TO PRODUCE NEW NR VARIANTS AND TRANSFER THE KNOWLEDGE TO THE GUAYULE AND MOUNTAIN GUM PLANT SPECIES. 2: CROP ENGINEERING WILL CONVERGE PLANT AND AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING TO DEVELOP AND DISSEMINATE NEW ?SMART? CROP PRODUCTION PRACTICES FOR ALL THREE CROPS. 3: LATEX/RUBBER ENGINEERING WILL CONVERGE ENGINEERING, MATERIALS/POLYMER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, CHEMISTRY, AND PHYSICS TO INVENT EXTRACTION METHODS TO PRODUCE CONSISTENT HIGH-PERFORMANCE LATEX AND RUBBER AND NEW PROCESSING METHODS FOR PRODUCTS. FURTHERMORE, TARDISS WILL INVENT ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES IN FIELD AND HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS, INDUSTRIAL SCALE LATEX AND RUBBER EXTRACTION METHODS, AND NOVEL PROCESSES-FOR-PRODUCTS AND BRING THESE TO COMMUNITIES. A SEAMLESS INTEGRATION OF SCALABLE BIOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND SCIENCE, WHILE CO-DEVELOPING ECONOMICALLY SCALABLE PATHWAYS WITH DOMESTIC STAKEHOLDERS, WILL BE CRITICAL FOR SUCCESS IN CONVERGENT RESEARCH. THE OUTCOMES WILL BE A SUSTAINABLE DOMESTIC RUBBER INDUSTRY AND A NEW, YOUNG WORKFORCE CONVERGING AGRICULTURE AND ENGINEERING TRAINED THROUGH A NEW AMERICAN RUBBER ACADEMY. DIVERSITY AND CULTURE OF INCLUSION WHICH WILL INCLUDE UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES AND ?NEURODIVERSE? YOUNG PERSONS DIAGNOSED WITH DYSLEXIA AND AUTISM. THE TARDISS INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM WILL BRING TOGETHER SMALL TO LARGE COMPANIES, RESEARCHERS, STUDENTS, NATIONAL LABS, AND COMMUNITIES, AND FEATURES NOVEL PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE PIRANHA PIT TO ENCOURAGE INNOVATION. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

THERE ARE EXTENSION OFFICES LOCATED IN EACH OF OHIO'S 88 COUNTIES DELIVERING PROGRAMMING IN 4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, AND FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES. ADDITIONALLY, EXTENSION PROGRAMS ARE FOCUSED AROUND FIVE CRITICAL ISSUES: 1. HEALTH AND WELLNESS - OHIOANS SHOULD HAVE A POSITIVE STATE OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, WHICH INCLUDES THE PREVENTION OF DISEASE, BY CREATING AND SUPPORTING HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS IN HOMES, SCHOOLS, WORKPLACES, AND COMMUNITIES. WE ACHIEVE THIS GOAL THROUGH A FOCUS ON TOPICS THAT INCLUDE DISEASE PREVENTION, SAFETY RESEARCH AND EDUCATION, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH, AND STRESS REDUCTION. EXTENSION EFFORTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO LEAD TO POSITIVE BEHAVIOR CHANGE, ENABLING PEOPLE TO ACHIEVE AND MANAGE POSITIVE PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS OUTCOMES. THIS PLAN OF WORK WILL EXPLORE HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS AND LITERACY, HEALTH INEQUITY, CHRONIC DISEASE AND OBESITY PREVENTION, COMMUNITY NUTRITION EDUCATION, AND FARM SAFETY. 2. ECONOMIC VITALITY - IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL OHIOANS HAVE THE CAPACITY TO PURSUE AND SUSTAIN ECONOMIC WELL-BEING. OHIOANS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY FINANCIAL SECURITY TODAY, SAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES FOR THE FUTURE, AND SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE FISCAL CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES AS THEY ARISE. THROUGH MONEY MANAGEMENT EDUCATION, INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, BUSINESS MANAGERS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS WILL IMPROVE THEIR FINANCIAL LITERACY, DECISION MAKING, AND ABILITY TO MANAGE RESOURCES. PROGRAMMING RELATED TO ECONOMIC VITALITY INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION, ENHANCING RURAL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, INCREASING BROADBAND ACCESS IN RURAL AREAS, AND FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCY. 3. FOOD SECURITY AND PRODUCTION - A SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM NOT ONLY BENEFITS PRODUCERS AND PROTECTS CONSUMERS, BUT ALSO ENSURES A SAFE FOOD SUPPLY WHILE FEEDING A GROWING POPULATION. OSU EXTENSION CONDUCTS RESEARCH AND EDUCATES PRODUCERS ABOUT BEST PRACTICES THAT INCREASE YIELD AND PROFITABILITY. IN ADDITION, CHANGING CONSUMER PREFERENCES CONTINUALLY INFLUENCE PRODUCTION PRACTICES AND THE TYPES OF PRODUCTS THAT PRODUCERS ARE EXPECTED TO BRING TO MARKET. USING SCIENCE-BASED INFORMATION, OHIO STATE HELPS CONSUMERS, PRODUCERS, AND POLICY MAKERS BECOME MORE INFORMED ABOUT DECISIONS RELATED TO FOOD AND THE WAY IT IS PRODUCED, PROCESSED, DISTRIBUTED, STORED, PREPARED, AND CONSUMED. ENGAGING CITIZENS IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THEIR FOOD CREATES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SOLVING FOOD SECURITY ISSUES. ADDITIONALLY, TEACHING CITIZENS TO GROW SOME OF THEIR OWN FOOD CAN HELP IMPROVE FOOD QUALITY, ELIMINATE FOOD DESERTS, AND INCREASE COMMUNITY FOOD SECURITY. WE WILL EXPLORE ISSUES RELATED TO MITIGATING FOOD INSECURITY THROUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE AND FOOD PRODUCTION EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND FOOD SYSTEM SUSTAINABILITY. WE ALSO LOOK AT ISSUES OF FOOD PRODUCTION INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIGITAL AGRICULTURE PROGRAMS, CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURE, IMPROVED FOOD ANIMAL HEALTH AND PRODUCTION, CROP IMPROVEMENT AND RESILIENCY, WEED AND PEST CONTROL, AND PLANT BREEDING AND DISEASE RESISTANCE STUDIES. ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS CRITICAL ISSUE ARE PROGRAMS RELATED TO INCREASING FOOD SAFETY AND FOODBORNE ILLNESS REDUCTION. 4. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY - OHIO STATE ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERTS EDUCATE OHIOANS ABOUT THEIR INDIVIDUAL IMPACT IN A GLOBAL COMMUNITY, WHILE TEACHING THEM TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE PLANET. OHIO STATE PROGRAMS HELP PEOPLE MAKE MORE INFORMED CHOICES ABOUT HOW THEY CAN PROMOTE AND SUSTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.

THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY TOBACCO CENTER OF REGULATORY SCIENCE (OSU-TCORS) - OVERALL PROJECT SUMMARY NICOTINE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DRIVER OF TOBACCO USE. THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY'S MANIPULATION OF NICOTINE IN CIGARETTES AND SMOKELESS TOBACCO LED TO PRODUCTS THAT WERE MORE ADDICTIVE, ABUSED, AND DEADLY. WITH “STARTER” PRODUCTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND NICOTINE-NAÏVE USERS AND “MATURE” PRODUCTS FOR ESTABLISHED TOBACCO USERS, THE INDUSTRY HAS HISTORICALLY MANIPULATED THE “LEVERS” OF NICOTINE CONCENTRATION AND FORM TO INCREASE TOBACCO USE ACROSS ALL DEMOGRAPHICS. E-CIGARETTES (ECS) AND MORE RECENTLY ORAL NICOTINE POUCHES (ONPS) VARY THESE NICOTINE DIMENSIONS SIGNALING THAT THE INDUSTRY IS AGAIN FOLLOWING THIS PROFIT-DRIVEN STRATEGY. RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN NICOTINE SYNTHESIS ALSO MAKES NICOTINE ISOMER A NEW PRODUCT LEVER THAT THE INDUSTRY CAN ADJUST TO DRIVE CONSUMER UPTAKE THROUGH CHANGES IN PHARMACOKINETICS AND MISLEADING MARKETING CLAIMS. WHILE THE US CONGRESS AND FDA HAVE IMPOSED IMPORTANT REGULATIONS TO DISSUADE TOBACCO USE AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE, WE ARGUE THAT THE REGULATION OF NICOTINE ITSELF MAY BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE STRATEGY TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL POPULATION HEALTH. LIKE THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY, THE FDA CAN PULL THESE SAME LEVERS VIA PRODUCT STANDARDS AND MARKETING REGULATIONS TO ADJUST THE APPEAL AND ADDICTION POTENTIAL OF ECS AND ONPS. THROUGH OUR INTEGRATIVE THEME, “FLIPPING THE SCRIPT”: USING THE INDUSTRY'S NICOTINE PLAYBOOK TO MAXIMIZE PUBLIC HEALTH, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY TOBACCO CENTER OF REGULATORY SCIENCE (OSU-TCORS) WILL BE GUIDED BY THE INDUSTRY'S CONSUMER RESPONSE MODEL TO UNDERSTAND HOW NICOTINE IN ECS AND ONPS ARE IMPACTING PRODUCT APPEAL, ADDICTIVENESS, USE PATTERNS, AND TOXICITY. WE POSIT THAT REGULATION OF NICOTINE'S THREE DIMENSIONS CAN DISSUADE YOUNG PEOPLE, INCLUDING NON-USERS, FROM USING ECS AND ONPS BUT STILL PROVIDE A SATISFYING AND LESS HARMFUL ALTERNATIVE FOR ADULT TOBACCO USERS FOR COMPLETE SWITCHING. PROJECT 1 (P1) AND P2 WILL EXAMINE THE INFLUENCE OF EC AND ONP NICOTINE MANIPULATIONS ON PRODUCT APPEAL, ABUSE LIABILITY, USE, AND TOXICITY; P3, USING ONPS AS AN EXEMPLAR PRODUCT, WILL EXAMINE THE INFLUENCE OF NICOTINE MARKETING CLAIMS ON APPEAL AND PRODUCT TRIAL; AND P4 WILL EXAMINE HOW YOUNG PEOPLE, INCLUDING PRIORITY POPULATIONS, RESPOND TO BOTH NICOTINE PRODUCT MARKETING AND DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS IN THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. THE PROJECTS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE MARKET MONITORING CORE THAT WILL PROVIDE CRITICAL REAL-TIME MARKETING AND PURCHASING OF PRODUCTS BY VENUE AND THE PRODUCT EVALUATION AND MANIPULATION CORE THAT STUDIES PRODUCTS VARIED BY NICOTINE DIMENSIONS WITH CHEMICAL AND TOXICOLOGICAL ANALYSIS. THEY ALSO WILL BE SUPPORTED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE CORE. THE CAREER ENHANCEMENT CORE WILL FOSTER THE TRAINING OF STUDENTS, POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS, AND EARLY CAREER INVESTIGATORS IN TOBACCO REGULATORY SCIENCE. TOGETHER, THE OSU-TCORS ADDRESSES THE FDA PRIORITY SCIENTIFIC DOMAINS OF PRODUCT COMPOSITION AND DESIGN, TOXICITY, ADDICTION, HEALTH EFFECTS, BEHAVIOR, AND MARKETING INFLUENCES. THE PROJECTS ARE HIGHLY INTEGRATED AND WILL PROVIDE THE FDA WITH CRITICAL, FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND DATA BY CONDUCTING COMPLEMENTARY INTERVENTIONAL AND OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES TO INFORM THE CONSUMER RESPONSE MODEL AS A TOOL TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH.

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** WHILE FEED FIBER AND FUEL PRODUCED FROM AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES CONTRIBUTE OVER $325 BILLION TO THE U.S. ECONOMY AND REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT ROOM FOR GROWTH. HOWEVER NUMEROUS LOGISTICAL BARRIERS ALONG THE BIOMASS SUPPLY CHAIN LIMIT THIS GROWTH. FARMERS ARE LIMITED BY THE NEED TO PURCHASE COSTLY CROP-SPECIFIC HARVEST EQUIPMENT WHICH INCREASES PRODUCTION COSTS. THE HIGH COST AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENT (20-40 YEARS) FOR THIS EQUIPMENT HINDERS FARMERS' ABILITY TO DIVERSIFY CROPS AND CREATES AN ENTRY BARRIER FOR NEW GROWERS. IT ALSO AFFECTS EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER'S PROFITABILITY. THE BIOMASS PROCESSING INDUSTRY FACES CHALLENGES DUE TO DIFFERENT HARVEST FORMATS STORAGE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESSING METHODS REQUIRED FOR DIFFERENT CROPS.THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO TEST THE VIABILITY SUSTAINABILITY AND ADOPTION POTENTIAL OF A UNIVERSAL FEEDSTOCK SUPPLY (UNIFY) CHAIN LOGISTICS SYSTEM THAT WILL TRANSFORM THE HARVEST AND POST-HARVEST LOGISTICS AND PREPROCESSING METHODS FOR MAJOR U.S. CROPS RESULTING IN INCREASED PRODUCTION OF SUSTAINABLE FEED FIBER AND BIOFUELS. NEW EQUIPMENT AND METHODS WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR HARVEST AND POST-HARVEST OPERATIONS AND INTEGRATES THOSE WITH MORE EFFICIENT PREPROCESSING METHODS TO REDUCE COSTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. OUR RESEARCH TEAM WILL COLLABORATE WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO DESIGN OPTIMIZE AND DEMONSTRATE A PILOT UNIFY SYSTEM FOR SIX CROPS (CORN SOYBEAN COTTON HEMP CAMELINA SWITCHGRASS) THAT HAVE DIFFERENT PHYSIOLOGIES AND COVER ALMOST HALF OF THE U.S. CROPLAND. THIS WORK WILL DEMONSTRATE THE UNIFY SYSTEM'S VIABILITY FOR OTHER CROPS WITH SIMILAR PHYSIOLOGIES LAYING THE GROUNDWORK NEEDED FOR ITS ADOPTION. IN ADDITION TO TESTING AND DEMONSTRATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE UNIFY SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE CROP PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING WE WILL DESIGN AND DELIVER EXTENSION AND EDUCATION CURRICULA THAT SHIFT STAKEHOLDERS' PERSPECTIVES AND UNDERSTANDING OF NEW COST-EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT METHODS FOR IMPROVING BIOMASS PRODUCTION. THIS PROGRAMMING WILL ALSO CREATE A PATHWAY FOR INCREASING THE BIOECONOMY WORKFORCE.BY THE END OF THIS PROJECT WE WILL HAVE EVALUATED THE AGRONOMIC ENVIRONMENTAL AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE UNIFY SYSTEM AND DETERMINED THE FACTORS AFFECTING ITS SUSTAINABILITY. WE WILL ALSO HAVE ASSESSED THE NEEDS OF STAKEHOLDERS FROM MULTIPLE SECTORS DOCUMENTED SHIFTS IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND BEHAVIOR REGARDING CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS VERSUS UNIFY AND DETERMINED THE ADOPTION POTENTIAL OF THE UNIFY SYSTEM. DEMONSTRATION OF THE UNIFY SYSTEM AT SCALE IS EXPECTED TO CATALYZE ADOPTION OF IT ENABLING PRODUCERS AND INDUSTRIES TO TAP INTO BURGEONING BIOBASED MARKETS AND IMPROVE THE RESILIENCE OF THE BIOECONOMY VIA INCREASED SUSTAINABLE CLIMATE-SMART PRODUCTION OF FEED FIBER AND BIOFUELS. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BIOECONOMY CURRICULA WILL PROVIDE A TRAINED WORKFORCE THAT WILL FURTHER ENABLE ADOPTION OF UNIFY.

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** A LARGE BODY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH HAS DEMONSTRATED HOW CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES (CSAPS) CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF US FARMERS. HOWEVER, ADOPTION OF CSAPS REMAINS EXTREMELY LOW, AND RESULTS FROM CONTROLLED TRIALS HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE ON WORKING FARMS. BUILDING ON EXTENSIVE INPUT FROM FARMERS AND STAKEHOLDERS, WE WILL BUILD A NESTED TRANSDISCIPLINARY PLATFORM WHERE FARMERS, SCIENTISTS, AND PARTNERS WILL CO-PRODUCE THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT AND ADOPTION OF PLACE-BASED CSAPS IN MIDWESTERN CROPPING SYSTEMS LEADING TO REDUCED GHG EMISSIONS AND INCREASED CARBON SEQUESTRATION, CLIMATE RESILIENCE, AND FARM VIABILITY. THE CORE (TIER 1) IS A NETWORK OF LOCAL NODES IN EACH STATE WHERE FARMERS WILL LEAD THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ON-FARM RESEARCH TO ADDRESS CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE AND PERFORMANCE GAPS. WE WILL ALSO ENGAGE KEY LOCAL ACTORS (TIER 2) TO IDENTIFY THE OUTCOMES REQUIRED TO GAIN THEIR SUPPORT FOR FARMER CSAP USE. FINALLY, WE WILL COLLABORATE WITH NATIONAL ACTORS (TIER 3) TO ENSURE OUR WORK CAN BENEFIT EFFORTS TO REFORM POLICIES AND DESIGN MARKET MECHANISMS TO INCENTIVIZE USE OF CSAPS AND PROVIDE CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES. WE WILL WORK IN OHIO AND MISSOURI, MAJOR FARM STATES WITH DIVERSE BIOPHYSICAL CONTEXTS WHERE THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY ON CSAP PERFORMANCE CAN BE COMPARED ACROSS TIME AND SPACE. OUR PROJECT WILL FULLY INTEGRATE RESEARCH, EXTENSION AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES BY FACILITATING PEER-TO-PEER AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND INCREASING PARTICIPATION IN STEM BY UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY STUDENTS AT EACH TIER OF RESEARCH ACTIVITY. FARMERCO-DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH DESIGNS, EXTENSION PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES WILL ENSURE GREATER OWNERSHIP AND TRUST IN DATA AND PRODUCTS DEVELOPED BY THE PROJECT. WE WILL ALSO ASSESS WHETHER A DEEPLY COLLABORATIVE AND FARMER-LED APPROACH CHANGES CSAP ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS.

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** WIDESPREAD AND LONG-TERM ADOPTION OF CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES (CSAP) ON FARMS REPRESENTS A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF THE U.S. NATIONAL STRATEGY TO ACHIEVE A 50% REDUCTION IN NET CARBON EMISSIONS BY 2030. NOWHERE IS ADOPTION MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MIDWESTERN CORN BELT (MWCB) WHERE 60% OF THE NATION'S CORN AND 58% OF ITS SOYBEANS ARE CURRENTLY PRODUCED. TO DATE HOWEVER THE RATE OF CSAP ADOPTION HAS BEEN SLOWED BY (I) LOW CARBON INCENTIVES THAT REFLECT MARKET UNCERTAINTY AND UNKNOWN INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PRIVATE MARKETS AND FEDERAL FUNDING; (II) NOVEL EMERGING CARBON SCIENCE THAT COMPOUNDS EXISTING FARMER HESITANCY AND UNCERTAINTY DUE TO UNKNOWN TRADEOFFS OR SYNERGIES WITH IMPORTANT GOALS LIKE FOOD PRODUCTION AND WATER QUALITY; AND (III) AN INABILITY TO TAILOR FEDERAL CONTRACT OR PRIVATE PAYMENT STRUCTURES TO ACCOUNT FOR VAST HETEROGENEITY AMONGST FARMER TYPES AND FIELD BIOPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS. THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES BY TRANSLATING THE SCIENCE OF SOIL ORGANIC CARBON (SOC) SEQUESTRATION AND FARMER BEHAVIOR INTO ACTIONS THAT INCREASE SOC STORED IN AGRICULTURAL FIELDS OF THE MWCB WHILE BALANCING OTHER ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS OUTCOME WE WILL DEVELOP AN INTEGRATED POLICY AND DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM THAT QUANTIFIES ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES OF CSAP ADOPTION FROM FIELD TO REGIONAL SCALES. THE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM WILL ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL AND EXTENSION RESOURCES INCLUDING A MULTI-SCALE INTEGRATED MODEL ENABLED THROUGH KNOWLEDGE-GUIDED MACHINE LEARNING; AN EXPANDED CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT DECISION SUPPORT TOOL LEVERAGING COMET-PLANNER (CARBON MANAGEMENT AND EMISSION TOOL) TO QUANTIFY TRADE-OFFS SYNERGIES AND RISKS OF CSAP ADOPTION; A VIRTUAL POLICY SCENARIO DASHBOARD; AN UNDER-REPRESENTED MINORITY UNDERGRADUATE STEM RESEARCH EXPERIENCE; A TRANSDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE TRAINING PROGRAM; AND AN ONLINE CARBON SCIENCE AND POLICY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONALS. THE RESULTING TOOLS WILL ENCOURAGE MORE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF CSAP THROUGH IMPROVED APPLICATION OF GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE INCENTIVES FOR CARBON STORAGE COMBINED WITH ENHANCED KNOWLEDGE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CARBON CYCLE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE AND WATER QUALITY. THE PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE A LONGER-TERM IMPACT THROUGH ITS UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROGRAM AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDENT COHORT BOTH OF WHICH WILL INSPIRE NOVEL THINKING ABOUT FUTURE COMPLEX SCIENCE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS.

ROLE OF THE NON-CANONICAL INFLAMMASOME IN SARS-COV-2-MEDIATED PATHOLOGY AND COAGULOPATHY - OVERALL - ABSTRACT COVID-19 IS A WORLD-WIDE HEALTH PROBLEM CAUSED BY SARS-COV-2 VIRAL INFECTION IN THE LUNG WITH LONG-TERM SYMPTOMS IN AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF PATIENTS. MANY COVID-19 PATIENTS SUFFER FROM SILENT OR IDENTIFIED THROMBI IN MAJOR ORGANS SUCH AS THE LUNG AND THE BRAIN AND HAVE INCREASED OCCURRENCE OF CARDIAC EVENTS. THEY ALSO EXPERIENCE HIGH LEVELS OF INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES COLLECTIVELY CALLED CYTOKINE STORM. COMBINED, THESE REACTIONS LEAD TO ORGAN DAMAGE AND LONG- TERM SEQUELAE OF INFECTION COMMONLY TERMED LONG-COVID. OUR PROGRAM TEAM WILL JOIN FORCES TO DETERMINE THE HOST CELL MECHANISMS UNDERLYING TISSUE DAMAGE IN THE LUNG AND HOW SARS-COV- 2 ALTERS IMMUNE RESPONSES (PROJECT 1), AS WELL AS IN THE BRAIN AND BLOOD CIRCULATION (PROJECT 2). IDENTIFICATION AND TARGETING OF HOST MECHANISMS THAT CONTROL THE MULTI-ORGAN INFLAMMATORY PATHOLOGIES OF COVID-19 WILL SYNERGIZE WITH THE TARGETING OF CELLULAR ENZYMES THAT CONTROL SARS- COV-2 REPLICATION (PROJECT 3). TOGETHER, OUR TEAM WILL REVEAL AND TEST NOVEL THERAPEUTIC TARGETS TO COLLECTIVELY TAME INFLAMMATION, NEUROINFLAMMATION AND THROMBOSIS AND TO RESTRICT VIRAL REPLICATION. TO ACHIEVE SUCH A COMPREHENSIVE OVERALL GOAL, THE THREE PROJECTS BY FOUR CORES THAT WILL OFFER ADMINISTRATION, BIOSTATISTICAL AND BIOINFORMATIC SUPPORT, ANIMAL MODELS AND PURIFIED VIRAL STRAINS, AND RELEVANT PRIMARY CELL TYPES WITH GENETIC MANIPULATIONS TO PERFORM THE PLANNED EXPERIMENTS. OUR PROGRAM WILL SPEARHEAD EFFORTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE MECHANISMS OF COVID-19 PATHOLOGY IN DIFFERENT ORGANS AND TO IDENTIFY NOVEL DRUG TARGETS TO LIMIT THE SEVERITY OF COVID-19 AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF LONG-COVID.

THE VIRTUAL LABORATORY SCHOOL (VLS; WWW.VIRTUALLABSCHOOL.ORG) WAS DESIGNED TO BE A DYNAMIC PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM THAT IS RESPONSIVE TO EMERGING NEEDS IN MILITARY SETTINGS AND REFLECT THE RAPIDLY INCREASING BODY OF RESEARCH THAT SHOULD INFORM THE CARE AND EDUCATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CONTINUE THE WORK OF THE VLS IN PROVIDING INNOVATIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE VIRTUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (PD) FOR CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM STAFF; OFFERING A PD SYSTEM GROUNDED UPON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REFLECTIVE PRACTICE, TAILORED COACHING TO SUPPORT STAFF MEMBERS' USE OF OPTIMAL PRACTICES, AND EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT ADULT LEARNERS.

COMPARING TREATMENT APPROACHES TO PROMOTE INPATIENT REHABILITATION EFFECTIVENESS FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (CARE 4 TBI) - MODERATE-SEVERE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI) RESULTS IN PHYSICAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS THAT CAN HAVE A DEVASTATING IMPACT ON FUNCTIONING IN THE COMMUNITY. COMPREHENSIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY INPATIENT REHABILITATION CAN MAXIMIZE FUNCTION AND REDUCE COMPLICATIONS. HOWEVER, CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, “WHICH OF THE WIDE RANGE OF REHABILITATION PRACTICES CAN MOST EFFECTIVELY ADVANCE RECOVERY AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES?” DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE REHABILITATION PROCESS AND THE HETEROGENEITY OF THE TBI PATIENT POPULATION, THE STANDARD APPROACH TO COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH, THE RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL, IS INADEQUATE. NEVERTHELESS, WITH GROWING LIMITATIONS ON HEALTHCARE RESOURCES AND SHORTER LENGTHS OF STAY, IT IS URGENT AND CRITICAL TO IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC REHABILITATION APPROACHES THAT CAN OPTIMIZE OUTCOMES FOR PERSONS WITH TBI. A PRAGMATIC, PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY TO CLOSE THIS EVIDENCE GAP IS PROPOSED. BY LEVERAGING THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DISABILITY, INDEPENDENT LIVING AND REHABILITATION RESEARCH’S TBI MODEL SYSTEMS, THE LARGEST LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF MODERATE-SEVERE TBI IN THE WORLD, THE DATA NEEDED TO COMPARE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT REHABILITATION APPROACHES WILL QUICKLY ACCUMULATE. RECENT ADVANCES IN DATA CAPTURE, THROUGH ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS (EMR), AND IN ADVANCED STATISTICAL METHODS PROVIDE THE AVENUE BY WHICH THE COMPLEXITY OF REHABILITATION CAN BE SCIENTIFICALLY STUDIED. AIM 1: THIS STUDY AIMS TO LEVERAGE EMR TECHNOLOGY TO ENSURE DATA IDENTIFIED AS CRITICAL TO REHABILITATION TREATMENT ARE CAPTURED THROUGH STANDARDIZED DOCUMENTATION DURING THE NATURAL COURSE OF A PATIENT’S HOSPITALIZATION. AIM 2: INCORPORATING THE FINDINGS OF PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TREATMENT APPROACHES, THIS STUDY WILL AIM TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO TREATMENT ON PATIENT OUTCOMES. IT IS HYPOTHESIZED THAT REHABILITATION INTERVENTIONS DIRECTLY TARGETING PERFORMANCE OF REAL-LIFE ACTIVITIES (CONTEXTTX) AND HIGHER-LEVEL FUNCTIONS (ADVTX) WILL INDIVIDUALLY AND IN COMBINATION IMPROVE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AT 1-YEAR POST-INJURY, AS WELL AS ON FUNCTIONAL INDEPENDENCE AT DISCHARGE AND AT 1-YEAR POST-INJURY. AIM 3: IDENTIFY TIME-VARYING PATIENT AND SETTING FACTORS THAT CAN CHANGE OVER THE COURSE OF REHABILITATION AND THAT MODIFY THE EFFECTS OF TREATMENT. ADVANCED STATISTICAL ANALYSES COUPLED WITH DATA CAPTURE MADE FEASIBLE BY EFFECTIVELY DESIGNED EMR DOCUMENTATION FROM FRONTLINE PROVIDERS WILL PROVIDE THE DATA NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY WHICH TREATMENT APPROACHES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH BETTER PATIENT OUTCOMES. THIS IN TURN WILL ARM CLINICAL PROVIDERS WITH VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE TO DESIGN THE MOST EFFECTIVE TREATMENT PLANS FOR PATIENTS. THE FINDINGS OF THIS STUDY WILL FURTHER EMPOWER CLINICAL OPERATORS WITH THE NECESSARY INFORMATION TO ADVOCATE AND PROMOTE EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENTS FOR TBI RECOVERY TO FISCAL STEWARDS, CREDENTIALING BODIES, AND REGULATORY AGENCIES.

NATIONAL EXTREME ULTRAFAST SCIENCE (NEXUS) OPERATION & MAINTENANCE -WITH SUPPORT FROM THE NSF DIVISIONS OF CHEMISTRY, ?, THE NSF NATIONAL EXTREME ULTRAFAST SCIENCE FACILITY (NEXUS) IS A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND LASER USER FACILITY THAT PROVIDES BROAD USER ACCESS TO CUTTING EDGE TOOLS FOR STUDYING ULTRAFAST PROCESSES IN MOLECULES AND MATERIALS. SCIENTIFIC CHALLENGES THAT ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY NEXUS INCLUDE THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE A MOLECULAR ?MOVIE? OF A CHEMICAL REACTION, THE EFFICIENT CAPTURE AND STORAGE OF SUNLIGHT TO MEET DEMANDS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY, AND THE ABILITY TO MASTER INFORMATION TRANSPORT ON THE ATOMIC SCALE TO CREATE NEW QUANTUM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES. AS SUCH, NEXUS REPRESENTS A FOCAL POINT OF INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION AMONG RESEARCHERS SPANNING CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, MATERIALS SCIENCE, BIOLOGY, AND ENGINEERING. IN THE PAST, THE LACK OF ACCESS TO ULTRAFAST RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE HAS NOT ONLY LIMITED THE CAPABILITIES OF US SCIENCE, BUT HAS PRESENTED A MAJOR CHALLENGE TO DEVELOPMENT OF THE DIVERSE WORKFORCE THAT IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THE COMPETITIVENESS OF US RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. BY ADDRESSING THESE CHALLENGES, NEXUS FILLS A KEY STRATEGIC GAP IN THE US RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE. NEXUS DIRECTLY RESPONDS TO THE COMMUNITY-IDENTIFIED GRAND CHALLENGES OF OBSERVING AND CONTROLLING ENERGY TRANSPORT ON THE SCALE OF INDIVIDUAL ELECTRONS AND ATOMS. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, THE NEXUS FACILITY ALLOWS DIRECT OBSERVATION OF ELECTRON MOTION WITH ATTOSECOND TO FEMTOSECOND TIME RESOLUTION, ANGSTROM SPATIAL RESOLUTION, AND ELEMENT-SPECIFIC SPECTRAL RESOLUTION. AT THE HEART OF NEXUS IS A KW-CLASS ULTRAFAST LASER THAT PRODUCES XUV AND SOFT X-RAY LIGHT BY HIGH HARMONIC GENERATION. THE COMBINATION OF ATTOSECOND PULSES, SOFT X-RAY PHOTON ENERGIES, AND HIGH REPETITION RATE ENABLES MEASUREMENTS AT NEXUS THAT CAN ONLY BE MADE AT A HANDFUL OF PLACES WORLDWIDE. COMBINING THIS CUTTING-EDGE LIGHT SOURCE WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART ANALYSIS END STATIONS AND A TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT STAFF ALLOWS NEXUS TO SUPPORT A DYNAMIC, OPEN-ACCESS USER PROGRAM THAT LEVELS THE SCIENTIFIC PLAYING FIELD BY PROVIDING RESEARCHERS FROM ALL CAREER STAGES AND INSTITUTIONS ACCESS TO THE MOST ADVANCED CHARACTERIZATION TOOLS AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE FOR ULTRAFAST SCIENCE. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** WHILE MANY YOUTHS HAVE AN INTEREST IN AGRICULTURE CAREERS, RECENT RESEARCH FROM A MISSOURI SURVEYSHOWS THAT YOUTH AND THEIR PARENTS HAVE LIMITED AWARENESS OF THE BROAD ARRAY OF CAREER PATHWAYS IN FOOD AND AG SECTORS. ARECENTFEED THE FUTUREREPORT INDICATES THAT YOUTH ARE OFTEN STIFLED FROM PURSUING AGRICULTURAL CAREERS DUE TO: 1) FAMILY AND COMMUNITY PRESSURE TO SELECT ALTERNATIVE CAREERS; 2) PERCEIVED LACK OF PROFITABILITY OF AGRICULTURAL CAREERS; 3) LACK OF ACCESS TO LAND; 4) LACK OF ACCESS TO FINANCING; AND 5) LACK OF ACCESS TO TRAINING, EDUCATION AND INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF AGRICULTURE CAREERS.ALTHOUGH YOUTH ARE TARGETED AS PARTICIPANTS OF EXTENSION DELIVERED PROGRAMMING, NEITHER YOUTH NOR INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS HAVE BEEN PROACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE WORKFORCE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. WHAT'S MORE, APPROXIMATELY 50% OF HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH REPORT THEY ARE UNSURE OF THEIR CAREER PATH, DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RANGE OF POTENTIAL JOB ROLES, AND CAN'T IDENTIFY CAREER PATHWAYS.TO HELP ADDRESS THESE ISSUES, THIS PROJECT AIMS TO INTRODUCE YOUTH TO THE BROAD ARRAY OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEM CAREER PATHWAYS AVAILABLE TO THEM, STRENGTHEN POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOCUSED ON WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TOPICS THAT HAVE POTENTIAL TO BENEFIT ALL YOUTH, WHILE ALSO MEETING THE AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD INDUSTRY WORKFORCE NEEDS.MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS PROJECT AIMS TO:1) ESTABLISH A MULTI-STATE, REGIONAL, YOUTH ADVISORY TEAM TO AMPLIFY THEIR VOICE, PROVIDE EXPERIENTIAL LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, PROMOTE YOUTH-ADULT PARTNERSHIPS, AND EXPAND AWARENESS OF FOOD SYSTEMS CAREERS.2) ASSESS CAREER PATHWAY AWARENESS AND IDENTIFY WAYS TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL CAREERS.3) EXAMINE EXISTING PROGRAMMING AND IDENTIFY PROMISING PRACTICES, PARTICULARLY THOSE REACHINGYOUTH WHO HAVE NO ON-FARM EXPERIENCE.4) SYNTHESIZE TOP OPPORTUNITIES IDENTIFIED FROM OUR REGIONAL SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUPS, CASE STUDIES AND YOUTH ADVISORY TEAM TO ENHANCE EXISTING 4-H AND OTHER EXTENSION CURRICULUM AND INFORM NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT.5) SHARE PROJECT RESULTS VIA CURRICULUM SHARING, REPORTING AND PUBLICATIONS.BY INCREASING AWARENESS OF CAREER AND EMPLOYMENT PATHWAYS AND IMPROVING YOUTH-ORIENTED ENGAGEMENT AND RECRUITMENT PRACTICES, WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH AND WELCOME MORE YOUTH AUDIENCES INTO AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEMS, MAKE MEANINGFUL ENHANCEMENTS TO 4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING, CATALYZE FOOD SYSTEM GROWTH, AND ULTIMATELY INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO CHOOSE A CAREER IN FOOD AND AGRICULTURE.

SMOKING MACHINE ADAPTOR DESIGN PROJECT FOR ENDS, CIGARS, AND HEATED TOBACCO PRODUCTS (UC2) - ABSTRACT THE PURPOSE OF THE SMOKING MACHINE ADAPTOR DESIGN PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A STANDARDIZED AND VALIDATED ADAPTOR, OR FAMILY OF ADAPTORS, FOR ATTACHMENT TO EXISTING SMOKING AND VAPING MACHINES TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF SCIENTIFIC DATA OBTAINED FROM THE STUDY OF THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ELECTRONIC NICOTINE DELIVERY SYSTEMS (ENDS), CIGARS, AND HEATED TOBACCO PRODUCTS (HTPS). EQUALLY IMPORTANT, THE PROJECT WILL PRODUCE A SET OF PROTOCOLS FOR THE GENERATION AND COLLECTION OF MAINSTREAM YIELD DATA FOR THESE FOUR PRODUCT TYPES. FOR THE PROPOSED RESEARCH EFFORTS, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY (PRIME CONTRACTOR) WILL COLLABORATE CLOSELY WITH THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION’S CENTER FOR TOBACCO PRODUCTS (CTP), AND WITH OUR PROPOSED TEAM MEMBERS, INCLUDING OUR PARTICLE AND AEROSOL CHARACTERIZATION LABORATORY, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION TOBACCO PRODUCTS LABORATORY (CDC-TPL); OUR SMOKING AND VAPING MACHINE INDUSTRY PARTNER, CERULEAN; AND FORMER BORGWALDT KC USA LINEAR SMOKING MACHINE DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION ENGINEER, JEREMY JONES, PRESIDENT, PRODUCED BETTER. THE PROJECT IS COMPRISED OF FOUR MAIN PHASES: 1) FEASIBILITY, 2) PROTOTYPE DESIGN AND TESTING, 3) ADAPTOR VALIDATION, AND 4) CONTINUED STAKEHOLDER SUPPORT. ONCE THE VALIDATION OF THE ADAPTORS IS COMPLETE, OUR TEAM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANUFACTURE, SALE, AND CONTINUED DEVICE SUPPORT, INCLUDING CONTINUOUS DESIGN IMPROVEMENT, OF THE USMA IN THE FINAL PHASE OF THE PROJECT AND AFTER CTP SPONSORSHIP HAS CONCLUDED. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A PUBLIC BENEFIT BY ENSURING THAT STAKEHOLDERS CAN GENERATE ACCURATE SCIENTIFIC DATA AND REDUCE MEASUREMENT VARIABILITY TO HELP FILL CURRENT SCIENTIFIC GAPS REGARDING THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ENDS, CIGARS, AND HTPS. THESE DATA WILL ASSIST FDA IN THEIR MISSION TO PROTECT AMERICANS FROM TOBACCO-RELATED DEATH AND DISEASE BY REGULATING TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND BY EDUCATING THE PUBLIC, ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE, ABOUT TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND THE DANGERS THEIR USE POSES TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.

MECHANISMS OF LUNG PHOSPHOLIPID HOMEOSTASIS

MODEL-PAIN MODELING DIVERSE EXPERIENCES AND LONGITUDINAL TRAJECTORIES OF PAIN - EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS (EDS) PROVIDE ~140 MILLION ENCOUNTERS ANNUALLY FOR ALL POPULATIONS (I.E., VARYING DEMOGRAPHICS, INJURIES, COMORBIDITIES) AND SERVE AS A PRIMARY SAFETY NET IN U.S. HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR INDIVIDUALS OFTEN NOT ENCOUNTERED ELSEWHERE. MOREOVER, OVER 80% OF THESE PATIENTS ARE EXPERIENCING PAIN WITH VARIABLE CAUSES, PERCEPTIONS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES CHALLENGING OUR UNDERSTANDING TO OPTIMIZE DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSTICATION, AND TREATMENT. THIS PROPOSAL SEEKS TO LEVERAGE THE ED SETTING TO COMPREHENSIVELY CHARACTERIZE THE FULL RANGE OF INTERINDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN ACUTE PAIN PHENOTYPES, OPTIMAL TREATMENT, AND TRAJECTORIES OF PAIN WITHIN A BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES FRAMEWORK. WE AIM TO: 1) CHARACTERIZE CLINICALLY INFORMED PAIN PHENOTYPES WITH A DATA-DRIVEN MODELING APPROACH, 2) IDENTIFY OPTIMAL PAIN TREATMENT STRATEGIES USING INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT REGIMEN (ITR) ESTIMATION METHOD, AND 3) DEVELOP PREDICTIVE MODELS OF PAIN TRAJECTORIES AND PREDICT TRANSITION FROM ACUTE TO CHRONIC PAIN. WE WILL COLLECT THE NECESSARY DATA FOR ROBUST AND COMPREHENSIVE DATA-DRIVEN MODELING IN A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF (N=2,400) ED PATIENTS SEEKING CARE FOR ACUTE PAIN. IN ADDITION TO NIH HEAL CORE DOMAINS, WE WILL COLLECT SELF-REPORTED DATA, HEALTH RECORDS, DIGITAL PHYSIOLOGIC MARKERS, AND BIOLOGIC SAMPLES TO MEASURE: (I) AHRQ SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, (II) CHARACTER, SEVERITY, TIMING OF PAIN, (III) PERCEPTIONS, RESILIENCY, AND BELIEFS, (IV) CO-MORBIDITIES (MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH), (V) PHYSICAL FUNCTION AND SLEEP INTERRUPTIONS, (VI) DIGITAL PHYSIOLOGIC DATA, (VII) MEASURES OF PAIN SENSITIVITY (E.G. VON FREY, THERMAL THRESHOLDS), (VIII) HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION, (IX) TREATMENT ACCESS/EFFECTIVENESS, AND (X) GENOME-WIDE SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS. OUR COMPREHENSIVE MODELING APPROACH WILL COMBINE ADVANCED AND CUTTING-EDGE METHODS, INFORMED BY AN EXPERT PANEL INCLUDING PERSONS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE OF CHRONIC PAIN, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND CLINICIANS ALLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICALLY INTERPRETABLE PREDICTIVE MODELS. THIS INNOVATIVE AND HIGH-IMPACT INVESTIGATION WILL PROVIDE THE MISSING LINK IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF PAIN BY EMBRACING THE REQUIRED BREADTH AND COMPLEXITY. OUR REMARKABLY INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM IS WELL-POSITIONED FOR THIS SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE. WE WILL CAPITALIZE ON (I) ED CARE FOR ALL TYPES OF PAIN OCCURRING IN PERSONS WITH COMORBIDITIES AND (II) OUR PROVEN CAPACITY FOR A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF OFTEN CHALLENGING POPULATIONS IN EPISODIC CARE ENVIRONMENTS WITHOUT ONGOING PROVIDER RELATIONSHIPS. OUR INCLUSION OF PSYCHOSOCIAL, COGNITIVE, BIOLOGIC, AND HEALTH SERVICES MEASUREMENT IS AN ENORMOUS AND NECESSARY ADVANCE. THE QUINTESSENTIAL CONTRIBUTION OF THIS RESEARCH WILL BE MODELS APPROPRIATE TO THE CHALLENGE OF PAIN HETEROGENEITY, HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND PAIN ITSELF. WITHOUT THIS FOUNDATION, WE CANNOT HOPE TO IDENTIFY INTERVENTION TARGETS AND DEVELOP NOVEL INTERVENTIONS SUFFICIENT TO FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM CURRENT PATTERNS IN PAIN-RELATED HEALTH OUTCOMES AND DISPARITIES.

GLOBAL CENTERS TRACK 1: AI AND BIODIVERSITY CHANGE (ABC) -THE WORLD IS WITNESSING A PRECIPITOUS DECLINE IN BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM HEALTH, WITH SEVERE CONSEQUENCES FOR THREATENED SPECIES, ACCELERATED DYNAMICS OF ECOSYSTEM CHANGE, AND POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC THREATS FROM EXTREME EVENTS. AS POLICYMAKERS, LAND MANAGERS, AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES STRUGGLE TO PROTECT SPECIES AND PRESERVE OR RESTORE ECOSYSTEMS, THERE IS AN URGENT NEED FOR DATA ON HOW SPECIES ABUNDANCES AND DISTRIBUTIONS ARE CHANGING AND TOOLS TO ASSESS POLICY AND ACTIONS. THE GLOBAL CENTER ON AI AND BIODIVERSITY CHANGE (ABC) BRINGS TOGETHER A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS FROM ECOLOGY AND COMPUTER SCIENCE TO DEVELOP NEW APPROACHES FOR UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON BIODIVERSITY. RAPID DEVELOPMENTS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) OFFER INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO COLLECT DATA ON THE ABUNDANCE AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS OVER TIME AND OVER SPACE AND ALLOW FASTER AND BETTER ANALYSES OF BIODIVERSITY DATA AT ALL SCALES. THE CENTER WILL CONTRIBUTE TOOLS AND ANALYSES THAT DESCRIBE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON SPECIES AND HABITATS, AND WHICH CAN ASSESS HOW THEY RESPOND TO POLICY AND MANAGEMENT INTERVENTIONS. THE CENTER INCLUDES PARTNERSHIPS WITH A GLOBAL NETWORK OF COLLABORATORS FROM THE US, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, THE UK, AFRICA, INDIA, CENTRAL AMERICA, AND THE EU, INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVES FROM ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, MULTI-INSTITUTION RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS, GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, NGOS, AND INDUSTRY. THIS GLOBAL CENTER WILL ESTABLISH A FRAMEWORK FOR MONITORING, ANALYZING, AND ASSESSING THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON BIODIVERSITY THROUGH AI-ENABLED, DATA-SUPPORTED APPROACHES OVER SPACE AND TIME. THE GLOBAL CENTER WILL DEVELOP AI-BASED TOOLS FOR INTEGRATING BIODIVERSITY DATA FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES, INCLUDING REMOTE SENSING IMAGERY FROM SATELLITE AND LOW-FLYING AIRCRAFT, IN-SITU VISUAL AND AUDIO SENSORS, DNA SEQUENCES, AND CITIZEN SCIENCE EFFORTS. THE PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON FOUR MAJOR BIOLOGICAL THEMES: 1) ELUCIDATING DRIVERS OF SPECIES BOUNDARIES FOR HARD-TO-DETECT SPECIES, 2) UNDERSTANDING CHANGE IN FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY WHILE INCLUDING UNDER-SURVEYED SPECIES, 3) DETECTING EARLY WARNING SIGNALS OF RANGE SHIFTS, AND 4) QUANTIFYING CHANGES IN SPECIES INTERACTIONS. THE CENTER WILL ALSO ADVANCE AI RESEARCH AND METHODS, INCLUDING 1) FEW-SHOT LEARNING AND FINE-GRAINED CATEGORIES, 2) DOMAIN SHIFT, AND 3) LEARNING ACROSS DIVERSE DATA MODALITIES. THESE AI ADVANCES WILL IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF POPULATION DYNAMICS OF RARE AND THREATENED SPECIES, HARD-TO-DETECT SPECIES, AND HARD-TO-STUDY SPECIES AND ARE LIKELY TO HAVE APPLICATIONS BEYOND CONSERVATION. THIS INFORMATION IS CRITICAL TO UNDERSTANDING HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS DRIVING CHANGES IN SPECIES INTERACTIONS AND COMMUNITY COMPOSITION, AND HOW THAT AFFECTS FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY OF ECOSYSTEMS. THIS CENTER IS FUNDED BY THE GLOBAL CENTERS PROGRAM, AN INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH FUNDING AGENCIES IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM, TO JOINTLY SUPPORT USE-INSPIRED RESEARCH ADDRESSING GLOBAL CHALLENGES IN CLIMATE CHANGE AND CLEAN ENERGY. PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COMMONWEALTH SCIENCE AND INNOVATION RESEARCH ORGANISATION (CSIRO), NATURAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADA (NSERC), SOCIAL SCIENCE AND HUMANITIES RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADA (SSHRC), AND UK RESEARCH AND INNOVATION (UKRI) LEVERAGE RESOURCES TO TACKLE CHALLENGES AT A LARGER SCALE THAN WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR ONE FUNDING AGENCY ALONE. THIS AWARD IS JOINTLY SUPPORTED BY NSF AND NSERC. THE NSF AWARD IS CO-FUNDED BY THE OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING AND THE DIRECTORATE FOR BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

AN IMPORTANT BARRIER LIMITING FRESHWATER PROVISIONING IN AGRICULTURAL WATERSHEDS IS THE INABILITY TO ACCESS PRIVATELY HELD DATA NEEDED TO IDENTIFY AND TARGET CRITICAL SOURCE AREAS OF NUTRIENT RUNOFF. TO OVERCOME THIS BARRIER, WE WILL ADDRESS TWO KNOWLEDGE GAPS: 1) HOW CAN PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (PPPS) BE FORMED TO TARGET BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) TO AGRICULTURAL FIELDS THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY DEGRADE WATER QUALITY, AND 2) WHAT GAINS IN WATER QUALITY CAN BE ACHIEVED BY TARGETING THESE FIELDS? THESE KNOWLEDGE GAPS ARE IMPORTANT GLOBALLY, AND PARTICULARLY RELEVANT IN THE WESTERN LAKE ERIE BASIN WHERE MORE THAN 5% OF CROPLAND HAS GREATER THAN 2.5 TIMES THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED AGRONOMIC LEVEL OF SOIL PHOSPHORUS (P). THESE "LEGACY P" FIELDS CAN LEACH NUTRIENTS AT AN ELEVATED RATE TO DOWNSTREAM ECOSYSTEMS FOR DECADES, AND, GLOBALLY, HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO NUTRIENT RUNOFF AND IMPACTS SUCH AS HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS AND EUTROPHICATION. AS SUCH, THEY RESTRICT THE AVAILABILITY OF QUALITY WATER RESOURCES SUPPORTING AGRICULTURAL, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL AND RECREATIONAL USES. WE WILL DEVELOP AN INITIAL PPP TO TARGET BMPS TO LEGACY P FIELDS AND SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF THIS APPROACH WITH: 1) SOCIO-ECONOMIC ANALYSES TO DEVELOP EXPANSION PROTOCOLS, 2) WATERSHED MODELING TO PROJECT LARGE-SCALE IMPACTS, AND 3) AN EXTENSION PROGRAM TO BUILD KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT. LEVERAGING PREVIOUSLY UNAVAILABLE PRIVATE DATA TO TARGET INTERVENTION MAKES THE LARGEST GAINS IN WATER QUALITY POSSIBLE WHILE INCREASING THE QUANTITY OF AVAILABLE WATER. THE PROGRAM AREA PRIORITY ADDRESSED IS "TARGETED ACTIVITIES TO OVERCOME BARRIERS, SO THAT MORE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ARE ADOPTED."
