INTEGRATING A TRANSDIAGNOSTIC PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION IN THE CARE FOR ADOLESCENTS AND YOUTH WITH HIV IN KENYA - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND TRAUMA ARE COMMON MENTAL DISORDERS THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT ADOLESCENTS AND YOUTH WITH HIV (AYHIV), AND ARE ASSOCIATED WITH ANTIRETROVIRAL TREATMENT (ART) NON-ADHERENCE AND POOR TREATMENT OUTCOMES. THE INTEGRATION OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN HIV CARE FOR AYHIV IS RECOMMENDED, BUT IS LACKING DUE TO FEW TRAINED MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS, AND LACK OF A WELL VALIDATED INTEGRATION MODELS. TRANSDIAGNOSTIC INTERVENTIONS BASED ON COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT) AND DELIVERED BY LAY HEALTH WORKERS ARE EFFECTIVE IN ADDRESSING THESE MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS AND COULD POTENTIALLY IMPROVE HIV TREATMENT OUTCOMES. BARRIERS TO INTEGRATION OF THESE INTERVENTIONS IN THE CARE OF AYHIV IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA INCLUDE PAUCITY OF EFFECTIVENESS DATA AMONG AYHIV AND THE LACK OF ADAPTATION TO TAILOR IMPLEMENTATION FOR THE HIV CARE CONTEXT, INCLUDING THE LENGTH OF TREATMENT (NUMBER AND FREQUENCY OF SESSIONS) AND THE FORMAT OF DELIVERY. THIS PROPOSAL BUILDS ON THE SUCCESSFUL PILOT OF PSYCHOEDUCATION, RELAXATION, PROBLEM SOLVING, ACTIVATION, COGNITIVE COPING (PRO-ACT), A BRIEF, MODULAR AND TRANSDIAGNOSTIC INTERVENTION FOR ADOLESCENTS AND YOUTH WITH MILD TO MODERATE SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY IN KENYA THAT RESULTED IN CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN SYMPTOMS. THE INTERVENTION CAN BE DELIVERED IN STAND-ALONE MODULES EITHER IN PERSON OR BY PHONE, MAKING IT PARTICULARLY APPROPRIATE FOR AYHIV WHEN SCHOOL IS IN SESSION. IN THIS PROJECT, WE PROPOSE TO FURTHER ADAPT PRO- ACT FOR THE HIV CARE SETTING THROUGH A STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PROCESS WITH POLICYMAKERS, MENTAL HEALTH AND ADOLESCENT HIV PRACTITIONERS, AND AYHIV. TO PREPARE FOR THE EXECUTION OF TRIAL, THE STAKEHOLDERS WILL IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE POTENTIAL BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTATION AND SUGGEST ADAPTATIONS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS THAT ADDRESS KEY BARRIERS. A PILOT STUDY AT AN HIV CLINIC WITH 10 PROVIDERS AND 20 AYHIV WITH MILD TO MODERATE SYMPTOMS WILL ENABLE THE STUDY TEAM TO FURTHER ADAPT THE INTERVENTION AND STUDY PROCEDURES. USING A HYBRID 1 CLUSTER RANDOMIZED TRIAL IN 30 HIV CLINICS IN KENYA, WE WILL ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PRO-ACT IN REDUCING DEPRESSIVE, ANXIETY AND TRAUMA SYMPTOMS 6 MONTHS AND 12 MONTHS AFTER ENROLMENT, COMPARING 300 AYHIV WITH MILD TO MODERATE SYMPTOMS IN INTERVENTION TO 300 IN CONTROL CLINICS. TO INFORM THE INTEGRATION OF THE INTERVENTION IN ROUTINE CARE, WE WILL MEASURE IMPLEMENTATION OUTCOMES INCLUDING REACH, FIDELITY AND MAINTENANCE, AND EXPLORE MULTILEVEL DETERMINANTS INFLUENCING REACH, FIDELITY AND MAINTENANCE IN MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING AND MANAGEMENT, ACCEPTABILITY OF TRAINING BY PROVIDERS AND SATISFACTION WITH SERVICES BY AYHIV. WE WILL ALSO CONDUCT AN ECONOMIC EVALUATION THROUGH A TIME-DRIVEN ACTIVITY- ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE 30 CLINICS IN PARTICIPATING IN THE STUDY TO ESTIMATE THE IMPLEMENTATION COSTS FROM A PATIENT AND HEALTH SYSTEM PERSPECTIVE.

A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF EGYPTIAN HEALTHY AGING (AL-SEHA) - THIS PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF EGYPTIAN HEALTHY AGING (“AL-SEHA”) INCLUDING THE HARMONIZED COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL (HCAP) TO MEASURE THE PREVALENCE OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (AD/ADRD) IN EGYPT. IT IS MODELED AFTER THE US HRS AND MEMBER SURVEYS AND IS ALIGNED WITH SEVERAL ASPECTS OF NIA’S MISSION, PARTICULARLY “…THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONALLY COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND COGNITIVE HEALTH AND HARMONIZATION EFFORTS IN DIFFERENT SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, CULTURAL, AND ECONOMIC CONTEXTS…” AL-SEHA FILLS A SIGNIFICANT VOID IN THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF HARMONIZED AGING STUDIES. AS A PIVOTAL CONSTITUENT OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA, EGYPT HAS AN ENORMOUSLY DIVERSIFIED POPULATION, SOCIOECONOMICALLY, GENOMICALLY, AND CULTURALLY. EGYPT IS CHARACTERIZED BY A STRONGLY SES-GRADED HEALTH AND COGNITIVE DECLINE UP TO THE STAGE OF DEMENTIA, A LARGE GENDER DIVIDE, PARTICULARLY FOR ELDERLY WOMEN, AND LOOMING CHALLENGES FOR OLDER CITIZENS DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATIC CHALLENGES POTENTIALLY CAUSING ADRD. DESPITE ADVANCES, EGYPT’S HEALTH AND WELLBEING LANDSCAPE INCLUDES STRIKING SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INEQUALITIES AND INEQUITIES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN, OLD AND YOUNG, URBAN AND RURAL COMMUNITIES, AND UPPER AND LOWER EGYPT. THE PROJECT WILL INFORM ISSUES OF EQUITY, GENDER, AND CLIMATE CONCERNS IN A CONTEXT THAT IS NEW FOR THE HRS-STYLE AGING SURVEYS AND THEIR ANALYSES OF AD/ADRD. WHILE EGYPT HAS A HISTORY OF CROSS-SECTIONAL POPULATION SURVEYS, AL SEHA WILL BE THE FIRST NATIONALLY REPRESENTATIVE LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF AGING IN EGYPT. THIS LONGITUDINAL DIMENSION WILL FILL A MAJOR GAP AND WILL PROVIDE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRECURSORS AND DYNAMICS OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND COGNITIVE HEALTH, INCLUDING AD/ADRD, AND THE INEQUALITY AND INEQUITY IN A LARGE EMERGING ECONOMY THAT SHAPE THE SES-GRADIENT OF HEALTH. IT WILL OFFER UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITIES TO DELINEATE HEALTH, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES AND TO DEVELOP POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS AND SIMILAR EMERGING COUNTRIES AND COMMUNITIES. AL SEHA WILL BE ADMINISTERED TO 20,000 INDIVIDUALS AGED 50 YEARS AND OLDER. IT WILL PROVIDE A BASELINE AND A FIRST FOLLOW-UP WAVE INCLUDING HCAP AS TESTED AND CONTEXTUALLY VALIDATED TOOL TO MEASURE COGNITIVE STATUS AND TO ASSESS AD/ADRD PREVALENCE IN EGYPT, A COMMUNITY MODULE, GEOCODED AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA. THREE YEARS OF PREPARATORY ACTIVITIES INCLUDED A FIRST PILOT THAT BUILT RESEARCH CAPACITIES AND DEMONSTRATED SCHOLARLY AND POLICY INTEREST AND COMMITMENT; A SECOND PILOT FUNDED BY NIA THAT TESTED THE REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE DESIGN AND DEMONSTRATED THE FEASIBILITY OF HIGH QUALITY FIELDWORK WITHIN PLANNED TIME AND BUDGET; AND A THIRD NIA-FUNDED PILOT THAT DEPLOYED THE HCAP INSTRUMENT TO SCREEN FOR AD/ADRD. THE STUDIES DEMONSTRATED NEED, FEASIBILITY, AND ABILITY OF THE TEAM TO UNDERTAKE THE PROPOSED WORK, AND THE SECURING OF THE ESSENTIAL PARTNERSHIP OF THE INSTITUTE OF NATIONAL PLANNING (INP), THE SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRIES OF PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND OF HEALTH AND THE SURVEY OF HEALTH, AGING AND RETIREMENT IN EUROPE. 1

GH22-2262 SUSTAINABLE HIV PROGRAMMING IN NAIROBI FOR EPIDEMIC CONTROL (SHINE) PROJECT - DESPITE THE STRIDES MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT OF KENYA TOWARDS ACHIEVING HIV EPIDEMIC CONTROL BY 2030, THE NAIROBI METROPOLITAN SERVICES(NMS) HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN PROVISION OF HIV/TB SERVICES. KNOWLEDGE OF HIV STATUS IS AT 86%: TREATMENT COVERAGE AT 99% AND VIRAL SUPPRESSION AT 93%. HOWEVER IT STILL FACES SIGNIFICANT BOTTLENECKS THAT INCLUDE HIGH MOTHER TO CHILD TRANSMISSION OF HIV, POOR SERVICE UTILIZATION AMONG ADOLESCENTS, YOUNG WOMEN, MEN AND CHILDREN, HIGH TB MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY RATES, COVID 19 IMPACT LEADING TO REDUCED HIV SERVICE DELIVERY, FRAGMENTED SERVICE DELIVERY AND A HIGHLY MOBILE POPULATION WITH RESULTANT POOR RETENTION IN HIV SERVICES. IN ORDER TO MITIGATE AGAINST THIS THEREFORE, EVIDENCE FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED THE HIV SERVICES FROM DONOR DEPENDANCE TO COUNTRY OWNED SERVICE DELIVERY MODELS HAVE DEMONSTRATED MORE SUSTAINABLE EPIDEMIC CONTROL. LEARNING FROM THIS AND THE EXPERIENCES FROM THE UNAIDS FAST TRACK CITIES ENGAGEMENTS, THE NMS WITH SUPPORT FROM CDC IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS HAS UNDERTAKEN TO HAVE THE HIV SERVICES SYSTEMATICALLY TRANSITIONED TO THE NMS TOWARDS JOURNEY TO SELF RELIANCE. THE PROPOSED SHINE PROJECT BRINGS TOGETHER A TEAM OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED GOVERNMENT STAFF FROM NMS THAT WILL COLLABORATE WITH CDC AND CDC IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS IN NAIROBI CITY TO ADDRESS THE GAPS AND THEREBY CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE UNAIDS 95-95-95 TARGETS. THE DIRECT ENGAGEMENT OF THE NMS STAFF IN THE DAY TO DAY MANAGEMENT OF THE PROJECT IS POISED TO FURTHER IMPROVE ON QUALITY COUNTY LED HIV SERVICES IN NAIROBI IN LINE WITH PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED DURING THE CO-CREATION ENGAGEMENT. THE NMS HAS PARTNERED WITH OTHER HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT TO OVER 450 FACILITIES IN THE NAIROBI COUNTY. THE DIRECT ENGAGEMENT OF HEALTH MANAGEMENT TEAMS AT ALL LEVELS FROM COUNTY TO FACILITY LEVEL, STRUCTURED AROUND SPECIFIC PROGRAM AREAS HAS ENSURED DELIVERY OF QUALITY INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICE. THIS IS FURTHER REFLECTED AT THE FACILITY LEVEL WITH PERCOLATION TO THE COMMUNITIES WITH POPULATION SPECIFIC SERVICE DELIVERY MODELS RESPONSIVE TO THEIR NEEDS. THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT TEAM FURTHER ENSURES CONTINUITY OF HEALTH SERVICE PROVISION IRRESPECTIVE OF THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT THAT COULD HITHERTO INTERRUPT SERVICE DELIVERY. USING A COUNTY AND SUBCOUNTY BASED FIELD EXPERT TEAMS APPROACH, THE SHINE PROJECT WILL BUILD ON GAINS AND LESSONS LEARNT IN PREVIOUS AND ONGOING PEPFAR PROGRAMS TO ARTICULATE KEY SERVICE DELIVERY BARRIERS AND GUIDE SELECTION OF HIGH IMPACT STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE SET GOALS BASED ON THE COUNTY'S HIV BURDEN, CONTEXT AND PEPFAR PRIORITIES. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH PROVISION OF EVIDENCE BASED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT TO THE HEALTH FACILITIES AND COMMUNITIES IN NAIROBI USING COST EFFECTIVE, INTEGRATED SERVICE DELIVERY APPROACHES. STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS NMS WILL FORGE IN SERVICE PROVISION INCLUDE WITH THE MOH ENTITIES (KEMSA,NASCOP,NACC) PEPFAR FUNDED PARTNERS, OTHER HEALTH PARTNERS, CSOS, INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING SUCH AS UNIVERSITIES(UON,KU), TEACHING AND REFERRAL HOSPITALS (KNH, MATHARE MENTAL HOSPITAL, KUTRRH), PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS(AGA KHAN HOSPITAL, NAIROBI HOSPITAL, MEDS ETC.), FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND PROFESSIONAL BODIES LIKE KPA, KOGS AND KAP.

RESEARCH TRAINING ON HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS (UO - ABSTRACT ADOLESCENT GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN REPRESENT THE FASTEST GROWING POPULATION OF PERSONS LIVING WITH HIV IN KENYA, CONTRIBUTING NEARLY 40% OF NEW HIV INFECTIONS. THIS PATTERN JEOPARDIZES EFFORTS TO ADDRESS HIV IN INFANTS AND CONTRIBUTES TO THE SUSTAINED EPIDEMIC OF PEDIATRIC HIV. KENYA HAD IMPRESSIVE GAINS IN PREVENTING VERTICAL HIV TRANSMISSION IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE EPIDEMIC, HOWEVER THESE GAINS HAVE BEEN REVERSED IN RECENT YEARS AND KENYA’S CURRENT VERTICAL HIV TRANSMISSION RATE OF >8% IS UNACCEPTABLY HIGH. IN KENYA, CLINICIAN-SCIENTISTS PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN ANCHORING THE EARLY HIV RESPONSE YET THERE ARE LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN KENYA FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH A CLINICAL BACKGROUND WHO WISH TO CONTINUE IN CLINICAL PRACTICE AND TEACHING WHILE BUILDING A RESEARCH CAREER IN AN ACADEMIC SETTING. THE MAJORITY OF SUCCESSFUL KENYAN CLINICIAN-SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN TRAINED OVERSEAS, HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED TO DEVELOP AND SCALE-UP RESEARCH-ORIENTED TRAINING PROGRAMS IN KENYA. THIS APPLICATION THEREFORE SEEKS TO STRENGTHEN THE RESEARCH TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES IN KENYA FOR CLINICIANS WHO WANT TO DEVELOP CAREERS AS INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS THROUGH THE PROPOSED PROGRAM, “RESEARCH TRAINING ON HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS.” THE PROGRAM WILL BE LED BY DRS. DALTON WAMALWA AND RUTH NDUATI AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI (UON) AND CO-DIRECTED WITH DR. CAREY FARQUHAR AT UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON (UW), BERNARD AWUONDA AT MASENO UNIVERSITY (MU) AND KENNETH NGURE AT JOMO KENYATTA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY (JKUAT). THE PROGRAM WILL OFFER LONG-TERM TRAINING WHICH INCLUDES DOCTORAL-LEVEL TRAINING IN EPIDEMIOLOGY (5 TRAINEES) AND IN BIOSTATISTICS (1 TRAINEE) AT UON (3-4 YEARS) AND MASTER’S LEVEL TRAINING IN BIOSTATISTICS (1 TRAINEE) IN SEATTLE (1.5 YEARS). THE PROGRAM WILL ALSO OFFER A 15-WEEK SYNCHRONOUS ONLINE ADVANCED CERTIFICATE IN RESEARCH TO CLINICIANS AT UON, MU AND JKUAT (DOCTORS, NURSES AND PHARMACISTS) IN MASTER’S PROGRAMS WITH AN INTEREST IN PEDIATRIC AND ADOLESCENT HIV (75 PER YEAR, 300 TOTAL), AS WELL AS A COMBINATION OF IN-PERSON ADVANCED SHORT COURSES AND WORKSHOPS CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH PARTNER INSTITUTIONS. THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS HAVE SUBSTANTIAL EXPERIENCE WITH FOGARTY TRAINING PROGRAMS AND OTHER TRAINING PROGRAMS BASED IN KENYA. THEY WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH MEMBERS OF A STEERING COMMITTEE WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL 4 INSTITUTIONS AND AN EXTERNAL TRAINING ADVISORY COMMITTEE (TAC) TO ENSURE SUCCESS OF EACH TRAINEE AND THE OVERALL PROGRAM. TOGETHER, ALL THE PARTNERS AND THE EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF FACULTY WILL WORK TOWARDS A GOAL OF STRENGTHENING EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES TO PREVENT AND TREAT PEDIATRIC AND ADOLESCENT HIV AND CONDUCT LOCALLY RELEVANT RESEARCH IN KENYA.

SUBCLINICAL CARDIAC DYSFUNCTION AFTER HYPERTENSIVE DISORDERS IN PREGNANCY

MIDIARIO: MOBILE INTERVENTION FOR DIABETES VIA REFLECTION AND INTROSPECTION IN MY OWN WORDS - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT LATINO ADOLESCENTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D) FACE SUBSTANTIAL DISPARITIES IN CARE AND OUTCOMES, MAKING NEW TOOLS TO SUPPORT THIS POPULATION ESSENTIAL. MANAGING T1D REQUIRES A COMPLEX SET OF KNOWLEDGE AND DECISION- MAKING SKILLS. ADOLESCENTS HAVE SPECIFIC CHALLENGES TO MANAGING T1D, INCLUDING PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS FOR AUTONOMY AND FITTING IN WITH PEERS, ALONG WITH STILL-DEVELOPING DECISION-MAKING AND PLANNING SKILLS. ADDITIONALLY, LATINO ADOLESCENTS FACE BOTH UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND A LACK OF ACCESS TO CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE CARE AND SUPPORT THAT RECOGNIZES THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCES, LANGUAGE, AND BARRIERS FOR THESE PATIENTS. PREVIOUS RESEARCH IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT COUNTERFACTUAL (“WHAT IF”) THINKING PAIRED WITH APPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL CONTENT CAN IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. CONVERGENTLY, INNOVATIVE CULTURALLY SENSITIVE APPROACHES TO DIABETES CARE AND PATIENT EDUCATION IMPROVE T1D OUTCOMES FOR LATINO ADOLESCENTS. ALTHOUGH NUMEROUS MOBILE APPLICATIONS (APPS) EXIST FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT, NONE CURRENTLY OFFER A FEATURE SET TARGETED TO THIS POPULATION THAT COMBINES CUTTING-EDGE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE ON SELF-EFFICACY AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE WITH MODELS OF CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE CARE. OUR PRELIMINARY STUDIES DEMONSTRATE THE IMPACT OF COUNTERFACTUAL REFLECTION TASKS ON HEALTHY EATING INTENTIONS IN LATINOS, THE EFFECTS OF CULTURE ON COUNTERFACTUAL FUNCTIONALITY, AND THE BENEFITS OF CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE CARE TO OUTCOMES IN LATINO ADOLESCENTS WITH T1D, OFFERING PROOF-OF-CONCEPT FOR THE CORE ASSUMPTIONS OF THIS PRODUCT. IN THIS PHASE 1 SBIR, WE WILL BUILD A PROTOTYPE OF A NEW APP THAT WILL HELP LATINO ADOLESCENTS MANAGE THEIR T1D BY OFFERING STRENGTHS-BASED, CULTURALLY SENSITIVE TOOLS TO BUILD KNOWLEDGE AND FACILITATE SELF-EFFICACY AND PLANNING. WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH TWO AIMS. AIM 1 WILL OPTIMIZE THE DESIGN OF THE APP THROUGH END USER RESEARCH AND INTERNAL TESTING. AIM 2 VALIDATE THE ACCEPTABILITY AND USABILITY OF THE APP. TO DO THIS, WE WILL DEVELOP NEW REFLECTION TASKS TO FACILITATE SELF-MANAGEMENT AND VALIDATE THESE TASKS THROUGH MIXED-METHODS RESEARCH IN PATIENT POPULATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL TEST THE USABILITY AND ACCEPTABILITY OF A WORKING PROTOTYPE IN THE END USER POPULATION THROUGH SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS AND QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENT. BY CREATING AN INNOVATIVE APP TO MANAGE T1D, THE PLANNED RESEARCH WILL OFFER ADVANCEMENTS TO THE TREATMENT OF T1D IN LATINO ADOLESCENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO HOW SOCIAL COGNITIVE SCIENCE CAN BE INTEGRATED INTO CLINICAL PRACTICE TO SUPPORT PATIENT EFFICACY IN MANAGING T1D. BEYOND IMPROVING CLINICAL CARE, THE RESEARCH WILL ADVANCE SOCIAL COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY BY INVESTIGATING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF COUNTERFACTUAL REFLECTION AND INTENTION GENERATION IN A NOVEL HEALTH DOMAIN. TOGETHER, THESE INNOVATIONS WILL ADDRESS A CRITICAL DISPARITY IN HEALTH TO ADVANCE HEALTHY LIVING FOR LATINO AMERICANS AS WELL AS OFFERING NEW TOOLS FOR FUTURE INNOVATIONS TO REDUCE DISPARITIES IN RELATED DOMAINS.

OPTIMIZING SENSORY FEEDBACK VIA MACHINE LEARNING AND IN-SILICO MODELS - AMPUTATION RESULTS IN SIGNIFICANT DISABILITY, PAIN, AND GLOBAL SOCIETAL COSTS, PARTICULARLY DUE TO THE LOSS OF EMPLOY- MENT AMONG YOUNG WORKERS AFFECTED BY SUCH INJURIES. IN EGYPT, THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN, LARGELY DRIVEN BY HIGH RATES OF LABOR-RELATED INJURIES (MOSTLY YOUNG WORKERS), ROAD ACCIDENTS, AND DIABETES. WHILE TRADI- TIONAL PROSTHESES CAN RESTORE SOME MOTOR CONTROL, THEY DO NOT PROVIDE NATURAL SENSORY FEEDBACK OR ALLEVIATE NEUROPATHIC PAIN, SUCH AS PHANTOM LIMB AND RESIDUAL LIMB PAIN, THAT EMERGES AFTER INJURY. SENSORY STIMULATION HAS BEEN SHOWN TO RESTORE SENSORY FUNCTION, REDUCE PHANTOM LIMB PAIN, AND ENHANCE PROSTHESIS INTEGRATION, EMBODIMENT, AND CONTROL. HOWEVER, RESTORING SENSORY FUNCTION IN BIONIC PROSTHESES REMAINS A MAJOR CHALLENGE. THUS, THERE IS A CRITICAL NEED FOR ADVANCING PROSTHETIC TECHNOLOGIES THAT RESTORE SENSORY FUNCTION, ESPECIALLY IN EGYPT, WHERE ACCESS TO SUCH INNOVATIONS IS LIMITED. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT MACHINE LEARNING-BASED APPROACH FOR SENSORY FEEDBACK TUNING. THIS PROJECT WILL INTEGRATE THE COMPUTATIONAL NEU- ROSCIENCE EXPERTISE OF THE US PI WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL AND NEURAL DATA ANALYSIS EXPERTISE OF THE EGYPTIAN PI TO DEVELOP A STIMULUS CODER THAT OPTIMIZES PERIPHERAL NERVE ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (ESTIM) PARAMETERS. THE DESIGN OF THIS STIMULUS CODER IS INNOVATIVE AS IT IS COMPRISED OF AN IN-SILICO MODEL THAT PREDICTS THE PRIMARY SOMATOSEN- SORY CORTEX (S1) ACTIVITY IN RESPONSE TO A GIVEN TACTILE STIMULUS. THE PREDICTED S1 ACTIVITY IS THEN PROVIDED TO AN ESTIM DECODER THAT IDENTIFIES THE NEEDED ESTIM PARAMETERS TO EVOKE THE PREDICTED S1 ACTIVITY. OUR CENTRAL HY- POTHESIS IS THAT USING IN-SILICO COMPUTATIONAL MODELS TO GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF THE STIMULUS CODER WILL RESULT IN EFFECTIVE NATURALISTIC TACTILE SENSATIONS MIMICKING THOSE ELICITED BY NORMAL TOUCH. THE DEVEL- OPMENT OF THE PROPOSED STIMULUS CODER WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH TWO SPECIFIC AIMS. IN AIM 1 OF THE PROJECT, A TACTILE ENCODING IN-SILICO MODEL WILL BE DEVELOPED TO SIMULATE PRIMARY SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX (S1) ACTIVITY IN RE- SPONSE TO TACTILE STIMULATION IN RATS (TASK US-1). THIS MODEL WILL BE VERIFIED USING RECORDED IN VIVO RAT TACTILE DATA (TASK EG-1). NEXT, AN ESTIM ENCODING IN-SILICO MODEL WILL BE DEVELOPED TO SIMULATE S1 ACTIVITY IN RESPONSE TO SCIATIC NERVE ESTIM (TASK US-2). SIMILARLY, THIS MODEL WILL BE VERIFIED USING RECORDED IN VIVO RAT ESTIM DATA (TASK EG-2). IN AIM 2, USING THE ESTIM ENCODING MODEL OF TASK US-2, EXPANDED DATASETS WILL BE GENERATED USING COMBINATIONS OF DIFFERENT ESTIM PARAMETERS, EACH VARIED ACROSS A WIDE RANGE, WITH THEIR EVOKED NEURAL RESPONSES SIMULATED (TASK US-3). THESE DATASETS WILL BE USED TO TRAIN DIFFERENT MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR OPTIMAL ELECTRICAL DECODING; THAT IS, TO IDENTIFY THE OPTIMAL ESTIM PROTOCOLS TO GENERATE THE DESIRED S1 FIRING PATTERNS (TASK EG-3). IN ADDITION, THE ESTIM STRATEGY MOST EFFECTIVE FOR TRAINING THE DECODER WILL BE IDENTIFIED. SUCCESSFUL COM- PLETION OF THIS WORK WILL RESULT IN PILOT DATA THAT DEMONSTRATES THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A SMART, ADAPTABLE SENSORY FEEDBACK MECHANISM THAT COULD SUPPORT EXISTING MOTOR PROSTHESES TO ADD SENSORY CAPABILITIES. THIS IS EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF AMPUTEES IN EGYPT, USA, AND WORLDWIDE.

STRENGTHENING RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT FOR CRITICAL HIV RESEARCH IN KENYA (STRAM-CHR) - ABSTRACT KENYA REMAINS ONE OF THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD WITH HIGH HIV DISEASE BURDEN WITH APPROXIMATELY 1.6 MILLION KENYANS LIVING WITH HIV, AND 46,000 NEW INFECTIONS ANNUALLY. THOUGH APPRECIABLE PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE TOWARDS EPIDEMIC CONTROL, IMPACT IS PATCHY: THE INCIDENCE OF NEW HIV INFECTIONS, HIV-RELATED MORTALITY, AND SEVERE ILLNESS REMAIN UNACCEPTABLY HIGH. MORE THAN 75% OF FINANCING FOR HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ACTIVITIES IS THROUGH EXTERNAL DONOR FUNDS. FROM THE EARLIEST ONSET OF THE HIV EPIDEMIC, THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI HAS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF THE HIV EPIDEMIC THROUGH BASIC, TRANSLATIONAL, CLINICAL, AND IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE RESEARCH PROJECTS HAVE BEEN LED BY INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATORS WITH FEWER LOCAL FACULTY AND SCIENTISTS ORIGINATING HIGH IMPACT HIV-RELATED RESEARCH. A MAJOR BARRIER HAS BEEN INSUFFICIENT HUMAN RESOURCES WITH REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO SUPPORT IN THE APPLICATION, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF FUNDED RESEARCH PROJECTS AND THIS HAS CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE PAUCITY OF LOCALLY INITIATED HIGH IMPACT HIV RESEARCH. OVER THE YEARS, THE UON HAS MADE EFFORTS TO ENHANCE RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT LEADING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CENTER FOR RESEARCH, INNOVATION AND GRANTS ADVANCEMENT (CERIGA). THIS CENTER IS AN OUTCOME OF INVESTMENTS BY THE US NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH) THROUGH THE INTERNATIONAL EXTRAMURAL ASSOCIATES DEVELOPMENT AWARD (IEARDA) AND THE MEDICAL EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE (MEPI) IS MANDATED TO SUPPORT RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI THROUGHOUT THE GRANT MANAGEMENT CYCLE BY IDENTIFYING FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, SUPPORTING RESEARCHERS THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS, MANAGEMENT DURING IMPLEMENTATION AND CLOSEOUT IN COMPLIANCE WITH DONOR REQUIREMENTS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON (UW), WE PROPOSE TO IMPLEMENT A PROJECT ENTITLED “STRENGTHENING RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT FOR CRITICAL HIV RESEARCH IN KENYA (STRAM-CHR)” AIMED AT ENHANCING LOCAL CAPACITY FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REQUIRED FOR THE RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT FUNCTIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI (UON) AND LOCAL PARTNER INSTITUTIONS. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, FIRST, WE AIM TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL AND UPDATED KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION PERSONNEL WORKING AT CERIGA, OTHER FUNDED PROJECTS WITHIN THE UON, THE UON FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS COLLABORATIVELY IMPLEMENTING RESEARCH PROJECTS TO BUILD THEIR CAPACITY TO SUPPORT INVESTIGATORS AND RESEARCHERS WHO ARE CONDUCTING CRITICAL HIV RESEARCH. SECONDLY, WE PLAN TO DEVELOP KEY POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT AT THE UON AND DEVELOP NEW ONES WHERE THEY DO NOT EXIST. THIRDLY, WE AIM TO REVIEW, UPDATE AND CONVERT EXISTING RELEVANT TRAINING PROGRAMS TO E-FORMAT WITH SPECIFIC FOCUS ON: RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT; RESEARCH INTEGRITY OVERSIGHT; ETHICAL REVIEW OF RESEARCH; INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS (ICT) FOR RESEARCH AND MONITORING AND EVALUATION. THESE COURSES WILL BE ACCESSED BY THE LARGER TEAM OF RESEARCH ADMINISTRATORS WITHIN UON AND ALL ITS PARTNERS. BY THE END OF THE THREE YEARS OF THIS PROJECT, WE BELIEVE THAT THE UON WILL HAVE INCREASED CAPACITY TO SUPPORT APPLICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DONOR FUNDED PROJECTS AND CERIGA WILL EMERGE AS A CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT SUPPORTING SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS IN KENYA AND BEYOND.

SBIR PHASE I: A PORTABLE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR WITH HIGH FLOW RATES FOR IN-HOME THERAPY (COVID-19) -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT IS TO ENABLE EASY OXYGEN DELIVERY TO PATIENTS WITH RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS. CURRENTLY, PATIENTS REQUIRING HIGH FLOW-RATES OF OXYGEN ABOVE 4 L/MIN REQUIRE OXYGEN TANKS THAT ARE LARGE, HEAVY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS, LIMITING MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM PRODUCES BREATHABLE OXYGEN AT HIGHER FLOW RATES AND LOWER ENERGY COMPARED TO CURRENT PORTABLE OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS, ENABLING SUSTAINED PATIENT USE. THIS ENABLES SUSTAINED OXYGEN PRODUCTION IN A PORTABLE MANNER TO MANAGE MEDICAL CONDITIONS CAUSING OXYGEN DEPRIVATION, INCLUDING CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD) AND CORONAVIRUS DISEASE (COVID-19). THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A PORTABLE SYSTEM THAT UTILIZES A NOVEL PHOTOCATALYTIC (LIGHT ACTIVATED) REACTION TO SEPARATE OXYGEN FROM AMBIENT AIR, TRAPPED IN A CHEMICAL SOLUTION, THEN RELEASED AS NEEDED THROUGH A TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED REACTION. THIS PROJECT WILL MONITOR THE CAPTURE AND RELEASE REACTIONS USING ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY TO DETERMINE THE IDEAL CONDITIONS OF OXYGEN PRODUCTION. SEVERAL PHOTOSENSITIZER CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS (FULLERENE C70 AND C60, RUBRENE, AND METHYLENE BLUE WITH UREA) WILL BE EVALUATED ON SYSTEM LONGEVITY BY CONTINUOUSLY CYCLING THE SYSTEMS UNDER HIGHER TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT EXPOSURE, AND MONITORING THEIR EFFECTS ON OXYGEN PRODUCTION. A PROTOTYPE WILL THEN BE DEVELOPED THAT GENERATES TARGETED OXYGEN FLOW RATES AT THE DESIRED RATE OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION, AND THE OXYGEN PRODUCED VALIDATED AS SAFE FOR INHALATION USING BENCH TESTS. 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.

PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE ENERGY INTEGRATING DETECTOR FOR X-RAY IMAGING - APPROXIMATELY 12% OF WOMEN HAVE A FALSE-POSITIVE RESULT AFTER ONE MAMMOGRAM, AND 60% HAVE A FALSE POSITIVE AFTER TEN YEARLY MAMMOGRAMS - RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR SECONDARY SCREENINGS. THE COST OF UNNECESSARY SECONDARY SCREENINGS, OFTEN DUE TO THE INABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY TISSUE WITH THE DESIRED ACCURACY, HAS BEEN CALCULATED TO BE $4 BILLION PER YEAR. INCREASING THE SENSITIVITY OF LOW EXPOSURE PER FRAME X-RAY DETECTORS WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR UNNECESSARY SECONDARY SCREENINGS AND IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES VIA ENHANCED IMAGE QUALITY. IMAGE QUALITY LARGELY DEPENDS ON THE RESPONSE OF THE DETECTOR'S SENSOR TO X-RAYS, AKA SENSITIVITY. SENSITIVITY IS DEPENDENT ON THE SENSOR'S ABILITY TO GENERATE AS MANY X-RAY LIBERATED CHARGE CARRIERS AS POSSIBLE THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE SIGNAL ACQUISITION FOR AN IMAGE. SOMETIMES THIS IS REFERRED TO AS THE SENSOR'S AVERAGE IONIZATION ENERGY OR INTERNAL GAIN. DIRECT CONVERSION SENSORS (SEMICONDUCTORS), SUCH AS AMORPHOUS SELENIUM (A-SE), HAVE A LOW INTERNAL GAIN – MAKING LOW EXPOSURE PER FRAME APPLICATIONS LIKE TOMOSYNTHESIS CHALLENGING TO GENERATE SIGNALS ABOVE THE NOISE OF THE ELECTRONICS. RECENTLY, NEW MATERIALS SUCH AS ORGANIC/INORGANIC METAL HALIDE PEROVSKITES HAVE DRAWN ATTENTION FOR THEIR CONSIDERABLE STOPPING POWER OF X-RAYS, EFFICIENT CHARGE TRANSFER PROPERTIES, AND EASE OF MATERIAL SYNTHESIS. ADDITIONALLY, GRAPHENE MATERIALS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR PHOTOCONDUCTIVE GAIN AND COMFORT OF INTEGRATION WITH CONVENTIONAL ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS. KAIROS SENSORS LLC PROPOSES A MULTI-PIXEL PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE ENERGY INTEGRATING DETECTOR FOR X-RAY IMAGING WITH VASTLY IMPROVED SENSITIVITY AND LOW POWER CONSUMPTION FOR THIS PHASE I PROPOSAL. KAIROS SENSORS' INNOVATION UTILIZES SOLUTION-PROCESSED PEROVSKITES GROWN DIRECTLY FROM THE CONDUCTIVE GRAPHENE LATTICE AND HAS SHOWN ULTRA-HIGH SENSITIVITY WITH PROTOTYPE SINGLE-PIXEL PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE DEVICES. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO ACHIEVE A MULTI-PIXEL PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE DETECTOR WITH HIGH SENSITIVITY VIA OPTIMIZED CONFIGURATION OF MATERIAL COMPOSITION AND PIXEL DIMENSIONS. PHASE I WILL FOCUS ON DEMONSTRATING AN EXTREMELY SENSITIVE MULTI-PIXEL PEROVSKITE-GRAPHENE DETECTOR. PHASE II WILL FOCUS ON A MORE EXTENSIVE PIXEL ARRAY AND TAKE IMAGES IN PREPARATION FOR COMMERCIALIZATION.

A HIV PLANNING GRANT FOR A PHYSICIAN-SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAM

TABASAMU: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION ON BUILDING UP RESEARCH CAPACITY IN ORAL HEALTH AND HIV/AIDS - D71 TABASAMU PROJECT ABSTRACT ORAL DISEASES ARE THE MOST PREVALENT CHRONIC ILLNESSES IN THE WORLD, AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, LIKE PEOPLE WITH HIV (PWH), ARE MOST IMPACTED BY ITS OCCURRENCE. WORLDWIDE, THEY ACCOUNT FOR 17 MILLION YEARS LIVED WITH DISABILITY (YLDS) AND APPROXIMATELY 17,000 DISABILITY-ADJUSTED LIFE YEARS (DALYS), BECOMING THE MOST COMMON NON- COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (NCDS). DESPITE SUCCESSFUL ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY (ART), ORAL DISEASES REMAIN MORE PREVALENT IN PWH THAN THOSE WITHOUT HIV. OUR PROPOSAL ENTITLED “TABASAMU: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION ON BUILDING UP RESEARCH CAPACITY IN ORAL HEALTH AND HIV/AIDS” PREPARES THE PATH FOR A FUTURE INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM IN KENYA INVOLVING THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON (UW, SEATTLE, USA), THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI (UON), AND THE KENYATTA NATIONAL HOSPITAL (KNH) (NAIROBI, KENYA). THE TABASAMU (SMILE IN SWAHILI) APPLICATION IS BUILT UPON THE SUCCESSES OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH’S (NIH) LONG-TERM FUNDING IN THE REGION. OUR OBJECTIVES ARE TO: 1) FINALIZE THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR TABASAMU NETWORK. BY BUILDING UPON THE LONG HISTORY OF COLLABORATION AMONG THE UW, UON, AND KNH, WE WILL SOLIDIFY EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CURRENT RESEARCHERS AND STAKEHOLDERS AND ENGAGE NEW ONES SO AS TO CREATE AN ALLIANCE FOR INTEGRATING ORAL HEALTH WITHIN THEIR CURRENT HIV RESEARCH AND POLICY STRUCTURES. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE TRAINING EFFORTS OUGHT TO BE DECENTRALIZED, WE PLAN TO CONDUCT A STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS IN NAIROBI, MOMBASA AND KISUMU, THE CITIES WITH THE LARGEST HIV PREVALENCE IN KENYA, IN ORDER TO: A) FACILITATE CONSENSUS AMONG OUR KENYAN COLLABORATORS ON THE PERCEIVED NEEDS AND PRIORITIES THAT OUR FUTURE D43 GRANT ON ORAL HEALTH WILL ADDRESS, B) UNDERSTAND CURRENT KENYAN HIV RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAMS AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ORAL HEALTH COLLABORATION THAT WILL STRENGTH OUR TRAINING GRANT APPLICATION, AND C) DESIGN A NETWORK MAP WITH IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL MENTORS WITH ENOUGH ACTIVE RESEARCH AGENDAS FOR STUDY TRAINEES’ PROJECTS. 2) IDENTIFY A PIONEER GENERATION OF ORAL HEALTH RESEARCHERS. BY ENGAGING COUNTY GOVERNMENTS AND UTILIZING OUR TABASAMU NETWORK IN NAIROBI, MOMBASA, AND KISUMU WE WILL IDENTIFY POTENTIAL HIGH CALIBER TRAINEES FOR THE FUTURE D43 PROGRAM. THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS/VIDEO CONFERENCES AMONG POSSIBLE TRAINEES, WE WILL GATHER DATA ON INTEREST, FEASIBILITY, LOGISTICS, FINANCIAL BURDEN, AND POSSIBLE CHALLENGES THAT FUTURE TRAINEES MIGHT ENCOUNTER AT THEIR HOME INSTITUTIONS WHILE TAKING TIME OFF FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. BECAUSE COMMUNICATION AMONG THE POTENTIAL CANDIDATES WILL ENHANCE OUR POOL OF RESEARCHERS, WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A FUNCTIONAL SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP THAT WILL BOOST INTERACTION AND PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR ENGAGING IN NIH ACTIVITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE FELLOWS. 3) ORGANIZE, DEVELOP, AND FINALIZE OUR D43 GRANT APPLICATION. THROUGH THIS PLANNING GRANT, WE WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO REACH OUT TO STAKEHOLDERS AND KEY INVESTIGATORS AT THEIR WORK SITES, THEREFORE IDENTIFYING ORAL HEALTH CHAMPIONS WHO WILL PLAY A PIVOTAL ROLE IN DEFINING AN ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT A FUTURE HIV RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM IN ORAL HEALTH. BASED ON THE DATA WE WILL COLLECT, WE WILL BE QUALIFIED TO FINALIZE OUR RESEARCH TRAINING APPROACHES (SHORT-, MEDIUM-, AND LONG-TERM).
