A NEW CLASS OF NON-OPIOID ANALGESICS FOR USE IN CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT

PILOT HUMAN CLINICAL STUDIES: A NOVEL NONOPIOID, NON-NSAID PAIN THERAPEUTIC FOR ORTHOPAEDIC POSTOPERATIVE PAIN

NOVEL BIOABSORBABLE, FLEXIBLE POLYMERIC STENT FOR PULMONARY ARTERY STENOSIS

LYRASIS WILL DEVELOP AND PILOT A TURNKEY EBOOK AND EAUDIOBOOK SERVICE FOR STATE AND PUBLIC LIBRARIES BASED ON LIBRARY SIMPLIFIED, AN OPEN SOURCE EREADING SOFTWARE SUITE. THE SERVICE WILL DEPLOY A CLOUD-BASED, REMOTELY SUPPORTED LIBRARY SIMPLIFIED PLATFORM FOR COLLECTION MANAGEMENT AND PROVIDE A CURATED SET OF EBOOKS AND EAUDIOBOOKS THROUGH A WEB CATALOG AND VIRTUAL LIBRARY CARD THAT ALLOWS IMMEDIATE PATRON ACCESS VIA THE SIMPLYE APP. LYRASIS WILL PILOT THE TURNKEY SERVICE WITH 5 PUBLIC AND 5 STATE LIBRARIES. INCLUDED IN DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING WILL BE NEW FEATURES TO SUPPORT PATRON WEB DISCOVERY OF CONTENT, ALLOW LIBRARIES TO ADD LOCALLY GENERATED EBOOKS OR EAUDIOBOOKS TO THE PLATFORM, AND PROVIDE ADVANCED ANALYTICAL TOOLS TO IMPROVE COLLECTIONS. THE PROJECT WILL INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF ECONTENT AND SCALE UP ADOPTION OF LIBRARY SIMPLIFIED BY TESTING A HOSTED SERVICE THAT COULD BE READILY DEPLOYED WITH NO SIGNIFICANT WORK REQUIRED ON THE PART OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

THE DURASPACE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED PROGRAMS AT LYRASIS WILL DEVELOP, PILOT, AND DOCUMENT MIGRATION TOOLS AND PATHS TO UPGRADE THE REPOSITORY SOFTWARE FEDORA 3, WHICH IS WIDELY USED BUT NO LONGER SUPPORTED, TO FEDORA 6. HUNDREDS OF U.S. LIBRARIES AND ARCHIVES USE FEDORA 3 REPOSITORY SOFTWARE TO PRESERVE AND DELIVER SCHOLARLY, SCIENTIFIC, AND CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES AND SERVICES TO PATRONS, OFTEN INCLUDING UNIQUE DIGITAL CONTENT. CONTINUED COMMUNITY RELIANCE ON FEDORA 3 PUTS THE STABILITY, SECURITY, ACCESSIBILITY, AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THESE REPOSITORIES AT RISK. THE COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED MIGRATION TOOLS AND DOCUMENTATION DURING A PLANNING PROJECT AS IMPORTANT RESOURCES TO SUPPORT FEDORA 3 UPGRADE AND MIGRATION PROCESSES, WHICH ARE NECESSARY TO SUSTAIN REPOSITORIES THAT PROVIDE CRITICAL ACCESS TO DIGITAL COLLECTIONS. PILOT MIGRATIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED AND DOCUMENTED FOR TWO FEDORA 3 REPOSITORIES; A TOOLKIT THEN WILL BE SHARED THROUGH TRAINING PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT BROAD COMMUNITY ADOPTION.

LYRASIS WILL LEAD THE CREATION AND PILOTING OF A DYNAMIC, FLEXIBLE SUITE OF TOOLS TO PLAN AND MANAGE SUSTAINABILITY FOR OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE (OSS) INITIATIVES SERVING CULTURAL AND SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE ORGANIZATIONS. THE TOOLS WILL BE DESIGNED AROUND THE 2018 ?IT TAKES A VILLAGE? FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING CREATED THROUGH AN IMLS-SUPPORTED AWARD. OSS SUPPORTS MISSION-CRITICAL FUNCTIONS THAT PROVIDE PUBLIC ACCESS TO CONTENT AND INFORMATION. MAINTAINING DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURES BUILT FROM OSS REQUIRES CONTINUOUS ATTENTION TO SUSTAINABILITY; HOWEVER, INITIATIVE SUSTAINABILITY PLANS RARELY EXIST FOR OSS PROGRAMS SERVING CULTURAL OR SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE. THROUGH THIS COMMUNITY-INTERACTIVE TOOL DEVELOPMENT AND PILOTING, THE PROJECT WILL STRENGTHEN THE ABILITY OF LIBRARIES, ARCHIVES, AND MUSEUMS TO SUSTAIN COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED OSS PROGRAMS, WHICH ARE CRITICAL TO MANAGING AND GROWING NATIONAL DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURES AND INITIATIVES.

SBIR PHASE I: SILVER NANOWIRE-POLYMER COMPOSITE TRANSPARENT ELECTRODES

STTR PHASE I: BISTABLE ELECTROACTIVE POLYMERS FOR REFRESHABLE BRAILLE DISPLAYS

PARTICIPANTS WILL REPRESENT A VARIETY OF OPEN SOURCE INITIATIVES AT DIFFERENT STAGES IN THEIR EVOLUTION. THE FORUM REPORT WILL: DOCUMENT CURRENT PRACTICES FOR SUSTAINING INITIATIVES, CREATE A SUSTAINABILITY ROADMAP TO PROVIDE PATHS FOR PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT, AND PROVIDE A RESOURCE ALLOCATION GUIDE FOR EACH PHASE OF AN OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE PROJECT?S LIFECYCLE. THE FORUM WILL RESULT IN RECOMMENDATIONS TO ASSESS AND STRENGTHEN SUSTAINABILITY FOR CURRENT AND NEW OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE DESIGNED TO SERVE CULTURAL HERITAGE ORGANIZATIONS. IT ALSO WILL FOSTER COMMUNICATION AND SHARE KNOWLEDGE AMONG DIVERSE OPEN SOURCE INITIATIVES.
