ACTIVITIES PERFORMED PROJECT ELEVATE WILL EXPAND THE UTILIZATION OF REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIPS IN RURAL CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEBRASKA THROUGH ACTIVITIES CENTERED ON PROMOTION/OUTREACH, EDUCATION, AND EMPLOYER SUPPORTS. BY ACTING AS GROUP/INTERMEDIARY RAP SPONSORS, ELEVATE COLLEGES WILL REDUCE THE BURDEN ON EMPLOYERS IN DEVELOPING AND SPONSORING APPRENTICESHIPS. THE COLLEGES WILL DEVELOP APPRENTICESHIP OCCUPATIONS, UTILIZING THEIR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND COURSES AS THE REQUIRED RELATED TRAINING, IN COLLABORATION WITH INDUSTRY ADVISORS. HUB WILL CONDUCT OUTREACH AND EDUCATION TO HELP EMPLOYERS BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIPS ARE AND HOW THEY CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN THEIR BUSINESSES BY PARTNERING WITH ELEVATE. ELEVATE WILL CREATE A VARIETY OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE RESOURCES IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES TO BE USED FOR MARKETING, PROMOTION, EDUCATION, AND TRAINING PURPOSES, INCLUDED A FLAGSHIP APPRENTICE MENTOR TRAINING PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM STAFF WILL LEVERAGE THEIR MULTI-NETWORK PARTNERSHIPS TO EXPAND THE REACH OF THEIR MARKETING EFFORTS AND WORK TO ESTABLISH NEW RELATIONSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE MINORITY POPULATIONS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. DELIVERABLES WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE REGISTERED APPRENTICE OCCUPATION IN THE STATE OF NEBRASKA BY 27%, OVER 2020 FIGURES (US DOL, 2022). EACH PARTNER COLLEGE IS OR WILL BE A GROUP/INTERMEDIARY RAP, REGISTERING THE APPRENTICESHIPS UNDER THEIR PROGRAM AND THEN BRINGING EMPLOYERS ALONGSIDE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RAP. COLLECTIVELY, ELEVATE WILL CREATE 80 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE RESOURCES, SHARING THESE RESOURCES AMONG THE COLLEGES TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY IN PROMOTING THE RA HUB. THERE WILL BE ONE NEW SPONSOR CREATED UNDER THIS PROPOSAL, WHICH WILL BE SCC. CCC AND NECC ARE ALREADY REGISTERED SPONSORS. FURTHERMORE, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT OVER THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD, ELEVATE WILL ENROLL AT LEAST 120 APPRENTICES IN RAPS DEVELOPED WITH ABA GRANT FUNDS. INTENDED BENEFICIARY UNDERSERVED RURAL AREAS AND UNDERSERVED MINORITY POPULATIONS. SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES SUBRECIPIENTS (NORTHEAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND SOUTHEAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE) ACTIVITIES WILL MIRROR THOSE OF THE LEAD APPLICANT, WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO BUILD A REGIONAL RAP HUB, CONDUCTING PROMOTION AND OUTREACH, SERVING AS A RESOURCE TO PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS AND SERVING AS A GROUP/INTERMEDIARY RAP SPONSOR.

ADVANCING TRAUMA SUPPORT IN SCHOOLS: EMBEDDING TRAUMA SERVICES AND SUPPORT WITHIN THE MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT MODEL - THIS PROJECT, ENTITLED ADVANCING TRAUMA SUPPORT IN SCHOOLS: EMBEDDING TRAUMA SERVICES AND SUPPORT WITHIN THE MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT MODEL WILL BE THE FIRST TO IMPLEMENT A CONTINUITY OF SERVICES FRAMEWORK WITHIN THE WELL-KNOWN, DATA-DRIVEN FRAMEWORK USED TO GIVE TARGETED SUPPORT TO STRUGGLING STUDENTS. ALTHOUGH THE MTSS MODEL IS USED PRIMARILY FOR ACADEMIC INTERVENTIONS, THE APPLICATION OF THE MODEL TO TRAUMA HAS BEEN STRONGLY ADVOCATED BUT HAS NOT BEEN EMPIRICALLY ANALYZED. OUR CENTRAL PREMISE IS THAT CREATING COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS, PATHWAYS, AND PRACTICES AT TIER I (PREVENTION), TIER II (SCHOOL-BASED INDIVIDUAL/SMALL-GROUP INTERVENTION FOR MILD-TO-MODERATELY SEVERE TRAUMATIC STRESS), TIER III (SCHOOL-BASED INDIVIDUAL INTERVENTIONS FOR SEVERE TRAUMATIC STRESS), AND TIER IV LEVELS (COMMUNITY BASED INTERVENTION FOR VERY SEVERE TRAUMATIC STRESS) WILL NOT ONLY IMPROVE ACCESS TO EVIDENCE-BASED AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT TRAUMA SUPPORTS BUT WILL RESULT IN FASTER AND SUSTAINED OUTCOMES AMONG TRAUMATIZED YOUTH. OUR RATIONALE, SUPPORTED BY OUR OWN PILOT DATA, IS THAT EXPANDING THE MTSS MODEL TO INCLUDE KEY TRAUMA-FOCUSED FEATURES CAN REDUCE PTSD AND TRAUMA-RELATED ISSUES FASTER, MORE ECONOMICALLY, AND WITH GREATER SUSTAINABILITY THAN THE CURRENT STANDARD OF CARE IN SCHOOLS. THIS PROPOSAL WILL USE A LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN KENTUCKY; A HIGH NEEDS DISTRICT THAT ENROLLS STUDENTS LIVING IN ECONOMICALLY IMPOVERISHED RURAL, SUBURBAN AND URBAN COMMUNITIES AND IS A PRIMARY CATCHMENT OF LOW-INCOME FAMILIES MIGRATING FROM THE APPALACHIAN REGION OF THE STATE. AS SUCH, THE RATES OF EXPOSURE TO DIFFERENT FORMS OF TRAUMA (E.G., DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, PHYSICAL ABUSE) AND RELEVANT OUTCOMES (SUBSTANCE ABUSE, DEPRESSION) ARE HIGHER IN THE COMMUNITY AND AMONG DISTRICT STUDENTS THAN COMPARABLE AREAS OF THE STATE. GIVEN THE BREADTH OF THE MTSS FRAMEWORK AND OUR EFFORTS ON SUSTAINABILITY AFTER THE FUNDING IS COMPLETED, OVER 5,500 STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WOULD BE SERVED ANNUALLY DURING THE FUNDING AND OVER 10,000 WOULD BE SERVED IN THE FIVE YEARS POST-FUNDING.

THE UPR-CCFN HAS SINCE EXPANDED COLLABORATIONS TO INCLUDE SEVERAL UPR CAMPUSES, INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENTS OF BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY (UPRRP), DEPARTMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGY, PHARMACOLOGY, PHARMACY, AND ANATOMY (UPR-MSC), DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY (UPR HUMACAO CAMPUS), AND UNIVERSIDAD CENTRAL DEL CARIBE MEDICAL SCHOOL, A PRIVATE INSTITUTION IN PR. DURING COBRE PHASES 1-2 THE UPR-CCFN ACHIEVED SEVERAL BENCHMARKS: (1) IT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED ABILITY OF NEW AND EARLY-STAGE UPR RESEARCHERS TO CONDUCT COMPETITIVE RESEARCH IN THE AREA OF NEUROSCIENCE. (2) IT HAS ESTABLISHED A CRITICAL MASS OF 24 INVESTIGATORS. (3) IT HAS DEVELOPED THE COBRE NEUROIMAGING AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY FACILITY (NIEF) CORE INTO A STATE-OF-THE-ART RESOURCE FOR THE UPR-CCFN INVESTIGATORS AND THE LARGER UPR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH COMMUNITY. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY PROVIDING OUTSTANDING SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL SERVICES, TRAINING, AND ACCESS TO STATE-OF- THE-ART INSTRUMENTATION IN FLUORESCENCE, CONFOCAL, AND MULTIPHOTON MICROSCOPY ALONG WITH ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY THAT HAS ENHANCED THE PRODUCTIVITY OF OUR RESEARCHERS. (4) A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE NIEF WAS BECOMING A NIKON CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (NCOE), GLOBALLY RENOWNED FOR ITS STATE-OF-THE- ART FACILITIES FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH IMAGING. (5) THE UPR-CCFN HAS EXTRAORDINARILY INCREASED ITS BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CAPACITY AS IT RECENTLY TOOK OCCUPANCY OF A NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH INCLUDES A MORE THAN $26 MILLION INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT ON TWO FLOORS (~40 SQUARE FEET) OF THE MOLECULAR SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER (MSRC); THE NEUROPLASTICITY CENTER (FLOOR 6); AND VIVARIUM (FLOOR 7). (6) UPR-CCFN HAS DEVELOPED A ROBUST BUSINESS PLAN THAT WILL SUSTAIN AND UPGRADE OUR NIEF CORE FACILITIES, PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT, AND PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITIES BEYOND COBRE PHASE 3. DURING PHASE 3 THE UPR-CCFN WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CADRE OF INVESTIGATORS WITH CUTTING-EDGE FACILITIES, SCIENTIFIC CAPABILITY, AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATIONS WITH THE PUBLIC AND BIOPHARMA SECTORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF NEURODEGENERATION-RELATED DISEASES. THE UPR-CCFN WILL FOSTER RESEARCH INNOVATION, MAXIMIZE RESEARCH SYNERGY AND COLLABORATIONS AS WELL AS MENTORING AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP. OUR OVERREACHING GOAL IS THAT DURING PHASE 3, THE UPR-CCFN WILL PROPEL INTO A WORLD- RECOGNIZED CENTER FOR NEUROPLASTICITY AND NEURODEGENERATION WITH TRANSLATIONAL/THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS.

THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF CAMPBELL COUNTY’S POPULATION INCLUDE: WHITE, NOT HISPANIC 86.9%: PERSONS IN POVERTY 8.5%: HISPANIC LATINO 8.8%; VETERANS 6.6%; AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE 1.7%; MALE 51.1%; FEMALE 48.9%; ASIAN 0.7%; DISABLED UNDER 65 YEARS OLD 6.9%; BLACK 0.7%; NO HEALTH INSURANCE UNDER 65 YEARS OLD 13.0%; PACIFIC ISLANDER 0.1%; PERSONS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE 27.0%; MULTIRACIAL 2.3%; PERSONS OVER 65 YEARS OF AGE 12.2%; PER CAPITA INCOME $36,568; AND 3.3% OF THE PEOPLE LIVING IN WYOMING IDENTIFY AS LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, OR TRANSGENDER (LGBT)-9.3% OF LGBT WYOMING RESIDENTS IDENTIFY AS TRANSGENDER. TO ALIGN WITH THE POPULATION OF FOCUS AND ADDRESS DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO MH AND SUD SERVICES, CCH BHS WILL EXPAND ITS SERVICES IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS: - EXPAND TELEMEDICINE TO INCREASE ACCESS TO CRISIS CARE, MH SERVICES, AND SUD CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE IN CRISIS OR CANNOT GET TO APPOINTMENTS. - IMPLEMENT CRISIS EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN THE COMMUNITY TO DECREASE SUICIDE RATES AMONG ALL PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS. THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS CAMPBELL COUNTY SPECIFICALLY HAD A RECORD NUMBER OF TWENTY-ONE SUICIDES IN 2022. - IMPLEMENT MH PROGRAMMING SPECIFIC TO VETERANS AND MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES. - IMPLEMENT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ABOUT MH AND SUDS TO DECREASE STIGMA AND ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS TO SEEK HELP WHEN THEY NEED IT. IN CALENDAR YEAR 2022 CCH BHS PROVIDED 582 IN-PERSON CRISIS ASSESSMENTS AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES WERE PROVIDED TO 2,115 PATIENTS. IN THAT SAME YEAR, CAMPBELL COUNTY’S SUICIDE RATE WAS ALMOST TRIPLE THE NATIONAL RATE AND THE HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION HAS IDENTIFIED CAMPBELL COUNTY AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREA FOR MH. AS IT IS A RURAL AREA, MANY NORTHEAST WYOMING RESIDENTS ENCOUNTER BARRIERS TO ACCESSING MH AND SUD CARE. EXAMPLES OF THOSE BARRIERS INCLUDE PROVIDER SHORTAGES, LONGER DISTANCES FROM SERVICES, AND STIGMAS ABOUT MH AND SUD SERVICES. THE COMBINATION OF THE EXTENSIVE NEED FOR MH AND SUD SERVICES AND THE BARRIERS REFERENCED ABOVE EQUATES TO SIGNIFICANT GAPS IN MH AND SUD SERVICES IN THE AREA. THE CCH BHS CCBHC-PDI PROJECT WILL HELP CLOSE SOME OF THOSE GAPS AND EXPAND THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITY.

EXPANSION OF AN ESTABLISHED BREEDING SPF PROGRAM AT CPRC - SUMMARY THE RHESUS MACAQUE (MACACA MULATTA) IS THE MOST COMMONLY USED NONHUMAN PRIMATE MODEL IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. NONHUMAN PRIMATE MODELS ARE OF GROWING IMPORTANCE FOR HIV/AIDS-RELATED RESEARCH TO DEVELOP VACCINES, THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS A POTENTIAL CURE AND OTHER APPROACHES. HOWEVER, IT IS WELL-KNOWN THAT THE DEMAND BY THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY OF RHESUS MACAQUES, REMAINS GREATER THAN THEIR AVAILABILITY. THE CPRC HAVE BEEN CRITICAL FOR MAINTAINING THE MOMENTUM OF NIH-SUPPORTED. OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS (2020-2023), 700 ANIMALS (APP 230/YEAR) HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FROM THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTING $57,866,376 OF NIH-HIGH PRIORITY HIV/AIDS-RESEARCH, MAINLY R01, P01, U01- FUNDED ACADEMIC INVESTIGATORS AND NIAID-DAIDS-SVEU PROGRAMS. THIS NOFO PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNE MOMENT TO BOLSTER CPRC'S SPF PROGRAM, AIMING TO ADD AT LEAST 350 NEW ANIMALS IN 5 YEARS AND 1,000 IN 10 YEARS, SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCING THE CENTER'S RESOURCES FOR CUTTING- EDGE RESEARCH ON NIH-FUNDED HIV/AIDS.

HIGH-RESOLUTION SYNAPTIC AND FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY MAPPING OF A NEURAL CIRCUIT ARCHITECTURE UNDERLYING A BEHAVIORAL SEQUENCE - THE ABILITY TO GENERATE COMPLEX MOTOR BEHAVIORS BY ASSEMBLING SEQUENCES OF MOVEMENTS IS ESSENTIAL FOR PURPOSEFUL ACTIONS AND SURVIVAL. DEFECTS IN THE BRAIN REGIONS THOUGHT TO DRIVE SUCH MOVEMENT SELECTION CAN LEAD TO BEHAVIORS BECOMING ABNORMALLY REPETITIVE (E.G. AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER). YET, THE NEURAL CIRCUIT ARCHITECTURES THAT UNDERLIE THIS FUNDAMENTAL FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM REMAIN POORLY UNDERSTOOD. A CENTRAL MODEL OF A NEURAL CIRCUIT ARCHITECTURE THAT CAN ACCOUNT FOR HOW MOVEMENTS ARE ASSEMBLED INTO SEQUENCES HAS EMERGED FROM STUDIES ACROSS MULTIPLE SPECIES. IN THIS ARCHITECTURE, ALL MOVEMENTS ARE READIED IN PARALLEL. MOVEMENTS WITHIN THE SEQUENCE ARE THEN SELECTED THROUGH HIERARCHICAL SUPPRESSION, WHEREBY EARLIER MOVEMENTS SUPPRESS LATER ONES. PRIOR STUDIES HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DECIPHER HOW THE MODEL MIGHT ARISE FROM NEURONAL CONNECTIVITY AND ACTIVITY, IN PART DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING COMPLEXITY OF NEURAL CIRCUITRY IN RODENT MODELS. WE PROPOSE TO OVERCOME THIS BARRIER THROUGH DISSECTION OF THE NEURAL CIRCUITRY UNDERLYING SEQUENTIAL BODY GROOMING MOVEMENTS IN THE FRUIT FLY, DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER. DROSOPHILA OFFER A USEFUL COMPROMISE BETWEEN COMPLEXITY AND TRACTABILITY AS THEY DISPLAY A RICH BEHAVIORAL REPERTOIRE, WHILE THEIR BRAINS ARE NUMERICALLY COMPACT AND HAVE UNIQUELY IDENTIFIABLE NEURONS WHOSE ACTIVITY CAN BE VISUALIZED AND MANIPULATED USING POWERFUL GENETIC-BASED TECHNIQUES. GROOMING IS IDEAL FOR PROBING THE CIRCUIT PRINCIPLES OF MOVEMENT SEQUENCES BECAUSE IT CONSISTS OF A PREDICTABLE SEQUENCE OF DISTINCT MOVEMENTS. USING THIS SYSTEM, WE PREVIOUSLY SHOWED THAT THE DROSOPHILA GROOMING SEQUENCE HAS THE HALLMARKS OF A PARALLEL MODEL, AND ESTABLISHED AN INFRASTRUCTURE OF TOOLS AND APPROACHES TO DISSECT THE CIRCUIT BASIS OF THE MODEL. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DEFINE HOW THE NEURAL CIRCUIT SYNAPTIC CONNECTIVITY AND ACTIVITY READY THE DIFFERENT MOVEMENTS IN PARALLEL AND THEN PRODUCE HIERARCHICAL SUPPRESSION, TWO FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISMS PREDICTED BY THE PARALLEL MODEL. IN AIM 1, WE WILL DEFINE HOW THE CIRCUITRY IS ORGANIZED TO ENABLE THE MOVEMENTS TO BE READIED IN PARALLEL. IN AIM 2, WE WILL ELUCIDATE HOW HIERARCHICAL SUPPRESSION CONTROLS GROOMING MOVEMENT SELECTION. THESE AIMS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE FIRST DESCRIPTION OF A NEURAL CIRCUIT ARCHITECTURE THAT PRODUCES SEQUENTIAL BEHAVIOR VIA HIERARCHICAL SUPPRESSION. SUCH ARCHITECTURES ARE NOT ONLY PROPOSED TO UNDERLIE MOVEMENT SEQUENCES ACROSS SPECIES INCLUDING HUMANS, BUT CAN ALSO PROVIDE A GENERAL MECHANISM BY WHICH COMPETING PARALLEL INPUTS CAN BE INTEGRATED TO PRODUCE A PRIORITIZED OUTPUT. THUS, OUR PROPOSED STUDY IN THE FRUIT FLY WILL BE RELEVANT TO OTHER ANIMALS, BOTH FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW COMPLEX MOTOR BEHAVIORS ARE PRODUCED AND FOR UNDERSTANDING NEURAL CIRCUIT ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTION MORE BROADLY.

LIFE CAMP MOBILE PEACE UNIT OPERATIONS PROJECT - LIFE CAMP WILL IMPLEMENT THE MOBILE PEACE UNIT SERVICES PROJECT (MPU PROJECT) AS A PILOT PROGRAM IN NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT SOUTHEAST QUEENS MOST IMPACTED BY VIOLENT CRIME. THE MPU PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY GUN VIOLENCE TO HEAL AND THRIVE, BY OFFERING THEM FREE AND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO THE THERAPEUTIC WELLNESS SERVICES (TWS), MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND GRIEF AND TRAUMA SUPPORT SERVICES. LIFE CAMP TWS AND PREVENTATIVE PROGRAMS HAVE A TRAUMA INFORMED FRAMEWORK AND HIGH CULTURAL COMPETENCY. THE MPU PROJECT WILL BRING TWS DIRECTLY INTO COMMUNITIES WHO NEED IT MOST AND WHO TYPICALLY DO NOT ACCESS THESE SERVICES. AN INVESTMENT IN TWS WILL INCREASE COMMUNITY SAFETY, LIFE EXPECTANCY, QUALITY OF LIFE, AND ALLOW FOR TRAUMA INFORMED CARE AND PRACTICES IN NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT SOUTHEAST QUEENS WHO NEED AND WANT THESE SERVICES. LIFE CAMP WILL PROVIDE SERVICES TO SCHOOL-AGED YOUTH AND ADULTS, WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL PUBLIC MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS, THE POLICE, AND THE COMMUNITY AT POP-UP AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD EVENTS. THE MPU WILL ALSO CANVASS LOCATIONS THAT HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED INCREASED VIOLENCE AND WILL SHOW UP AT EMERGENCIES. DURING THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF THE MPU PROJECT, LIFE CAMP WILL HIRE NEW STAFF AND PURCHASE TWO NEW ‘PEACEMOBILE’ VEHICLES. LIFE CAMP WILL CONVENE A PROJECT PLANNING TEAM COMPRISED OF LIFE CAMP PERSONNEL, LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS, POLICE AND HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS. AT THE END OF THE PLANNING PERIOD, A DETAILED ACTION PLAN WILL BE COMPLETED WITH RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR THE MPU AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES SUPPORTED THROUGH THIS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY. DURING THE PLANNING PERIOD, THE PROJECTED NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED ANNUALLY BY THE MPU PROJECT IN SOUTHEAST QUEENS WILL ALSO BE DETERMINED . THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THE MPU PROJECT IS TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF LIFE CAMP TO PROVIDE MORE AND NEW THERAPEUTIC WELLNESS, MENTAL HEALTH, GRIEF, TRAUMA AND OTHER SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY ADDING NEW STAFF AND NEW THERAPEUTIC SERVICES AND PURCHASING ADDITIONAL ‘PEACEMOBILE’ VEHICLES. OTHER GOALS OF THE MPU PROJECT ARE TO INCREASE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PRO-SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IN SOUTHEAST QUEENS AND TO DECREASE YOUTH INVOLVEMENT IN JUSTICE SYSTEM VIA COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INTERVENTIONS. IT IS ALSO HOPED THAT THE MPU PROJECT WILL RESULT IN INCREASED YOUTH SCHOOL-BASED ACHIEVEMENTS IN SOUTHEAST QUEENS. LIFE CAMP WAS FOUNDED AND IS LED BY INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED AND WIDELY RESPECTED PEACEMAKER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ERICA FORD HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF REDUCTION AND PREVENTION OF YOUTH VIOLENCE IN NEW YORK CITY FOR 30+ YEARS. .

PUERTO RICO COMMUNITY ACTION RESEARCH AND ENGAGEMENT (PR-CARE) TO ELIMINATE DISPARITIES IN DIAGNOSTIC OF COVID-19 AMONG RURAL UNDERSERVED AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. - IN PUERTO RICO, THE COVID-19 BURDEN IN THE ELDERLY POPULATION IS SIGNIFICANT AS 23% OF THE CONFIRMED COVID-19 CASES AND 75% OF THE DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN THIS GROUP WITH A LOW TESTING RATE (3.4 PER 100,000) IN THOSE > 65 YEARS. THE KNOWLEDGE, BELIEFS, ATTITUDES, AND PRACTICES ABOUT THE RISK OF INFECTION FROM COVID-19, SYMPTOMS, TESTING AND VACCINATION, REMAIN A PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN IN PUERTO RICO. IN 2019, 21.3% OF THE POPULATION LIVING IN PR WERE ELDERLY (> 65 YEARS) WITH 43.3% LIVING IN POVERTY, WERE ISOLATED, AND MEDICALLY VULNERABLE DUE TO THEIR CHRONIC DISEASES. ISOLATION FOR ELDERS HAS BEEN EXACERBATED DUE TO THE HIGH RATE OF MIGRATION OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT CULTURALLY CARED AND LOOKOUT FOR THEM. THE PUERTO RICO COMMUNITY ACTION RESEARCH AND ENGAGEMENT (PR-CARE) INITIATIVE AIMS TO FOCUS ON THE ELDERLY COMMUNITIES IN PR WHO ARE DISADVANTAGED BY GEOGRAPHY, SEXUAL AND/OR GENDER IDENTIFICATION, HOMELESSNESS AND/OR INCOME TO IDENTIFY HOW MULTIPLE FACTORS SERVE TO DISADVANTAGE THIS AT-RISK POPULATION IN COVID-19 TESTING AND VACCINE UPTAKE. OUR WELL-ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY PARTNER NETWORK, USING A MIXED METHODS RESEARCH STRATEGY, HAS THE GOAL OF EXAMINING HOW SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, IN ADDITION TO CRITICAL POLICY AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, ADDRESS TESTING AND VACCINE ACCESS AND UPTAKE IN ELDERLY (> 65 YEARS OLD) POPULATIONS IN PUERTO RICO WHO SUFFER FROM HIGH LEVELS OF SOCIAL VULNERABILITY (I.E., HOMELESS), WHO ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED (I.E., LIVING IN ISOLATED OR RURAL AREAS), LIVING IN POVERTY, AND GENDER OR SEXUAL DIVERSE (I.E., L.G.B.T.T.Q.I.A.+). OUR STRATEGIES ARE GUIDED BY FOUR THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CONTINUUM, INTERSECTIONALITY-INFORMED APPROACH, ANDERSON’S BEHAVIORAL MODEL OF HEALTH, AND HISTORICAL TRAUMA. THESE MODELS WILL ENABLE US TO PORTRAY A CRITICAL ARRAY OF MULTI-DOMAIN DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH TO UNDERSTAND HEALTH DISPARITIES AND HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION, SPECIFICALLY COVID-19 TESTING, AND VACCINATIONS, IN VULNERABLE ELDERLY COMMUNITIES. OUR AIMS ARE TO: 1) ASSESS FEDERAL AND PUERTO RICO COMMONWEALTH POLICY IMPLICATIONS ON COVID-19 TESTING IN LOW-RESOURCED AND SOCIALLY VULNERABLE ELDERLY IN PUERTO RICO; 2) EXAMINE INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH THAT INFLUENCE THE UPTAKE OF THE COVID-19 DIAGNOSTICS AMONG LOW-RESOURCED AND SOCIALLY VULNERABLE ELDERLY IN PUERTO RICO AND 3) COMBINE RESULTS FROM THE SYSTEMATIC POLICY REVIEW AND KEY INFORMANTS (AIM 1: QUALITATIVE) AND ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS (AIM 2: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE) TO IDENTIFY CHALLENGES, BARRIERS AND EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES AND LANGUAGE TO SUPPORT AND IMPROVE COVID-19 TESTING AND OTHER RELATED HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THIS VULNERABLE POPULATION. THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT RESEARCH THAT COMPRISES PR-CARE WILL WORK TO EXPAND THE SCOPE, REACH, ACCESS TO AND UPTAKE OF COVID-19 TESTING FOR VULNERABLE ELDERLY POPULATIONS IN PUERTO RICO. CONCURRENTLY, IT WILL IDENTIFY AND CREATE PERMANENT PATHWAYS IN HEALTH POLICY THAT INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, PROMOTING HEALTH EQUITY USING THE LENS OF SOCIAL, ETHICAL, AND BEHAVIORAL IMPLICATIONS.
