DESCRIPTION:THIS ACTION PROVIDES FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,452,972 TO THE CITY OF ROSWELL, GEORGIA TO IMPLEMENT ITS PROJECT TO RESTORE THE NATURAL CONDITION OF THE PROJECT AREA WHILE ALSO PROVIDING GREENSPACE AND EDUCATIONAL AREAS FOR THE PUBLIC AS DIRECTED IN THE 2023 CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT OR AS IDENTIFIED IN AN APPROVED TECHNICAL CORRECTION IF ONE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR THIS PROJECT. ACTIVITIES:THE ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED INCLUDE THE EXECUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A STORM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. WORKPLAN ACTIVITIES CONSIST OF THE RESTORATION OF AN INTERMITTENT STREAM THAT FEEDS INTO THE CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER, INCLUDING REMOVAL OF 42 LINEAR FEET OF A 54-INCH CORRUGATED METAL PIPE (CMP) CULVERT. A PORTION OF THE INTERMITTENT STREAM WILL BE DIVERTED TO A WETLAND THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROJECT AREA. THE CONSTRUCTED WETLAND WILL BE PLANTED WITH NATIVE HYDRIC PLANTS AND INCLUDES AN OUTLET CONTROL STRUCTURE THAT WILL DISCHARGE BACK INTO THE INTERMITTENT STREAM DURING LARGE RAIN EVENTS. THE REMAINING STREAM FLOW WILL BE PRE-TREATED WITH A SERIES OF CONSTRUCTED STEP POOLS BEFORE DISCHARGING INTO THE CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER. BANK STABILIZATION OF APPROXIMATELY 120 LINEAR FEET IS PROPOSED ALONG THE CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER, DOWNSTREAM OF THE CONFLUENCE WITH THE INTERMITTENT STREAM, INCLUDING A TERRACED STACKED STONE EMBANKMENT AND LIVE STAKING WHERE THE STACKED STONE STABILIZATION TIES BACK INTO GRADE. THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION OF A CHILDREN'S STORMWATER GARDEN, BETWEEN THE INTERMITTENT STREAM AND THE CONSTRUCTED WETLAND, CONSISTING OF INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL ELEMENTS THAT EMULATE THE NATURAL MOVEMENT OF WATER AND SEDIMENT WITHIN A WATERSHED. THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT WILL INCLUDE WATER PUMPS, SAND PITS, AND STREAM CHANNELS. THE RUNOFF IS DISCHARGED INTO THE CONSTRUCTED WETLAND WHERE IT IS TREATED ALONGSIDE THE STORMWATER RUNOFF. SUBRECIPIENT:NO SUBAWARDS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT.OUTCOMES:THE ANTICIPATED DELIVERABLES INCLUDE THE RESTORATION OF THE NATURAL CONDITION OF ROSWELL'S ACE SAND PARK PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY PREVIOUS INDUSTRIAL USES, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERACTIVE PLAY AREA THAT INCORPORATES THE NATURAL ELEMENTS OF THE SITE AND PROVIDES ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR VISITORS TO THE PARK. THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES INCLUDE STREAMBANK RESTORATION, PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT DUE TO IMPACTS FROM EROSION, THE REMOVAL OF INVASIVE SPECIES INSIDE THE RIVER CORRIDOR, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIVE PLANTS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT SITE, THE MANAGEMENT OF OFF-SITE RUN-OFF THROUGH AN IMPROVED STREAMBANK AND BIO-RETENTION SYSTEM. THE RESTORATION OF THE PARK, STREAM, AND RIVERBANK, AND THE CREATION OF RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES AND ACCESS ENHANCES THE CITY'S ECONOMIC VITALITY. THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES INCLUDE THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF ROSWELL, GEORGIA.

THIS EDA INVESTMENT SUPPORTS THE INDIANA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, INC. WITH PURCHASING TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO TRAIN STUDENTS IN 11 ENGINEERING- AND MANUFACTURING-RELATED CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS AS THEY PREPARE TO SIT FOR AND PASS CERTIFICATION EXAMS. THE PROJECT WILL ALLOW THE UNIVERSITY TO EXPAND, ENHANCE AND ADD INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED CERTIFICATE TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT ARE TAILORED TO THE JOB NEEDS OF EMPLOYERS IN NORTHEAST INDIANA, INCLUDING POSITIONS SUCH AS BATTERY MANAGEMENT ENGINEERS, DRONE PILOTS, AND PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD DESIGN ENGINEERS. ONCE COMPLETED, THE PROJECT WILL HELP THE REGION RECOVER FROM THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, BY PROMOTING JOB CREATION AND RETENTION, WHICH WILL BOLSTER ECONOMIC RESILIENCY THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

UTILIZING AN RCT APPROACH TO COMPARE THE EFFICACY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF TECHNOLOGICAL AND PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE IMPAIRED AWARENESS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA IN TYPE 1 DIABETES. - ABSTRACT IMPAIRED AWARENESS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA (IAH) REMAINS A MAJOR ISSUE IN TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D) AFFECTING ~30% OF ALL ADULTS WITH T1D WHO ARE AT HIGH RISK OF SEVERE HYPOGLYCEMIA. INTERVENTIONS INCLUDING HYBRID CLOSED-LOOP (HCL) AND EDUCATION HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED, WHICH REDUCE TIME IN HYPOGLYCEMIA IN THE HOPE THAT IAH WILL BE REVERSED. ALL HAVE SHOWN BENEFIT, BUT MANY INDIVIDUALS DO NOT RESPOND. OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO IDENTIFY THE MOST EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS. WE WILL RUN TWO MULTI-CENTER, UNBLINDED, TWO-ARM, PARALLEL-GROUP RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS (RCTS) OVER 12 MONTHS WITH A 2-4 WEEK RUN-IN (WITH CONTINUED FOLLOW-UP FOR 24 MONTHS). OUR TRIAL INTERVENTIONS ARE, HCL, BLOOD GLUCOSE AWARENESS TRAINING (BGAT), RECOVERY OF HYPOGLYCEMIA AWARENESS IN LONG- STANDING TYPE 1 DIABETES ‘HYPOCOMPASS’ AND HYPOGLYCEMIA AWARENESS RESTORATION PROGRAM FOR ADULTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES AND PROBLEMATIC HYPOGLYCEMIA DESPITE OPTIMIZED SELF-CARE ‘HARPDOC’. WE WILL ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THESE INTERVENTIONS ON RESTORATION OF IMPAIRED SYMPATHO-ADRENAL RESPONSES TO EXPERIMENTAL HYPOGLYCEMIA AND RESTORATION OF CLINICAL HYPOGLYCEMIA AWARENESS IN T1D. TRIAL 1 IS AN RCT IN THOSE WITH IAH, HCL NAÏVE, IN TWO TREATMENT ARMS (HCL VS. BGAT). AT 6 MONTHS, THE BGAT GROUP WILL BE PROVIDED WITH HCL, BOTH GROUPS THEN FOLLOWED-UP AT 12 & 24 MONTHS. TRIAL 2 IS AN RCT IN IAH PERSISTING DESPITE USING HCL FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS WITH RANDOMIZATION TO HYPOCOMPASS OR BGAT FOR 6 MONTHS. AT 6 MONTHS, THOSE WITH RESTORED AWARENESS WILL CONTINUE IN BOTH ARMS FOR A FURTHER 6 MONTHS AND THEN ASSESSED AT 12 & 24 MONTHS. PARTICIPANTS WITH PERSISTENT IAH AT 6 MONTHS WILL ENTER AN EXPLORATORY STUDY AND RECEIVE HARPDOC FOR 6 MONTHS WITH ASSESSMENTS AT 12 & 24 MONTHS. TRIALS 1 AND 2 WILL RECRUIT IN TOTAL AT LEAST 1000 PARTICIPANTS ACROSS 10 CENTERS, AGED 18 TO 85 YEARS OLD, T1D >1 YEAR DURATION WITH IAH, INCLUDING 10-15% OF OLDER ADULTS (³70 YEARS AND/OR WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE) WHO WILL BE RANDOMIZED TO ALL INTERVENTIONS EXCLUDING GLUCOSE CLAMPS AND WILL BE ASSESSED FOR IAH BY QUESTIONNAIRES. THE PRIMARY OUTCOME IS EPINEPHRINE RESPONSE AT A CLAMPED GLUCOSE OF 45 MG/DL COMPARING THE TWO STUDY ARMS IN BOTH TRIALS AT 6 MONTHS POST-RANDOMIZATION. SECONDARY OUTCOMES (AT BASELINE, 6, 12 AND 24 MONTHS) INCLUDE ADDITIONAL COUNTER-REGULATORY HORMONE RESPONSES, CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING (CGM) METRICS, C- PEPTIDE, HBA1C, PATIENT REPORTED OUTCOME MEASURES (PROMS) INCLUDING IAH SCALES, SEVERE HYPOGLYCEMIA AND SAFETY DATA. ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL MEASURE CGM METRICS, IAH BY QUESTIONNAIRE, AND REPORT HYPOGLYCEMIA, PROMS AND OTHER DATA OVER 2 YEARS TO MEASURE ‘REAL WORLD’ SUSTAINABILITY BUT WILL NOT REPEAT HYPOGLYCEMIC CLAMPS AT 24 MONTHS UNLESS OTHER MEASURES OF IAH PROVE UNRELIABLE IN REFLECTING IMPAIRED EPINEPHRINE RESPONSES AT 12 MONTHS. OVERALL, THESE STUDIES WILL ENABLE FUTURE RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS FOR IAH AND LEAD TO MORE EFFECTIVE THERAPEUTIC PATHWAYS.

PURPOSE: THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM PROVIDES ANNUAL GRANTS ON A FORMULA BASIS TO STATES, CITIES, AND COUNTIES TO DEVELOP VIABLE URBAN COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING DECENT HOUSING AND A SUITABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND BY EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, PRINCIPALLY FOR LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. THE PROGRAM IS AUTHORIZED UNDER TITLE 1 OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974, PUBLIC LAW 93-383, AS AMENDED 42 U.S.C. 5301 ET SEQ. THE CDBG PROGRAM COVERS FOUR DISTINCT PROGRAMS, EACH WITH THEIR OWN SET OF GOVERNING REGULATIONS: CDBG ENTITLEMENT, CDBG NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES IN HAWAII, CDBG INSULAR AREAS, AND STATE CDBG. IN THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM, HUD AWARDS GRANTS TO ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY GRANTEES TO CARRY OUT A WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITIES DEVELOP THEIR OWN PROGRAMS AND FUNDING PRIORITIES. IN THE CDBG NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES IN HAWAII PROGRAM, THREE COUNTIES QUALIFY: HAWAII, KAUAI, AND MAUI. THE FY 2004 APPROPRIATIONS ACT REQUIRED THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAII TO DECIDE IF THE STATE WISHED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM BY JULY 31, 2004. THE STATE MADE THE DECISION NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. AS A RESULT OF THIS DECISION HUD'S HONOLULU FIELD OFFICE ADMINISTERS THE NON-ENTITLED GRANTS IN HAWAII. FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED USING A FORMULA BASED ON POPULATION, POVERTY, AND HOUSING OVERCROWDING, WITH THE POVERTY FACTOR CARRYING A DOUBLE WEIGHT. FOR THE CDBG INSULAR AREAS PROGRAM, HUD ANNUALLY ALLOCATES CDBG GRANTS TO FOUR DESIGNATED AREAS: AMERICAN SAMOA; GUAM; NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS; AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. THE FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED IN PROPORTION TO THE POPULATIONS OF THE ELIGIBLE TERRITORIES. THE PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY HUD'S FIELD OFFICES IN PUERTO RICO AND HAWAII. UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES PASS THROUGH CDBG GRANTS TO UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT. ANNUALLY, EACH STATE DEVELOPS FUNDING PRIORITIES AND CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROJECTS. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS. NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS INCLUDE THOSE UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHICH DO NOT RECEIVE CDBG FUNDS DIRECTLY FROM HUD. GENERALLY, NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS ARE CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 50,000 (EXCEPT CITIES THAT ARE DESIGNATED PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS), AND COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN 200,000. CURRENT CDBG AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS LIST OF HUD COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (CPD) AWARDS AND ALLOCATIONS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/ALLOCATIONS-AWARDS/; ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: CDBG FUNDS MAY BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY; RELOCATION AND DEMOLITION; REHABILITATION OF RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES; CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS, SUCH AS WATER AND SEWER FACILITIES, STREETS, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, AND THE CONVERSION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS FOR ELIGIBLE PURPOSES; PUBLIC SERVICES, WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS; ACTIVITIES RELATING TO ENERGY CONSERVATION AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES; PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE TO PROFIT-MOTIVATED BUSINESSES TO CARRY OUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB CREATION/RETENTION ACTIVITIES. EACH ACTIVITY MUST MEET ONE OF THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROGRAM: BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS, PREVENTION OR ELIMINATION OF SLUMS OR BLIGHT, OR ADDRESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS HAVING A PARTICULAR URGENCY BECAUSE EXISTING CONDITIONS POSE A SERIOUS AND IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE HEALTH OR WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY FOR WHICH OTHER FUNDING IS NOT AVAILABLE. GENERALLY, THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACTIVITIES ARE INELIGIBLE: ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, OR RECONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS FOR THE GENERAL CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT; POLITICAL ACTIVITIES; CERTAIN INCOME PAYMENTS; CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOUSING (WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS). UNDER THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, STATES MAY USE $100,000 PLUS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE PERCENT OF ITS CDBG ALLOCATION. AMOUNTS EXPENDED ON ADMINISTRATION IN EXCESS OF $100,000 MUST BE MATCHED. STATES MAY EXPEND UP TO THREE PERCENT OF THEIR CDBG ALLOCATION ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, THE TOTAL A STATE SPENDS ON BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE EXPENSES MAY NOT EXCEED $100,000 PLUS THREE PERCENT OF THE STATE'S ALLOCATION. CPD HAS DEVELOPED PROFILES THAT DISPLAY GRANTEE-REPORTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR SELECTED HOUSING, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, AND PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES. PROFILES FOR GRANTEES WILL VARY, AS GRANTEES HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN DETERMINING THE HOUSING, ECONOMIC, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THEY CARRY OUT WITH CDBG FUNDS. THE MOST RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAN BE VIEWED WITHIN THE NATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORTS LOCATED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/PROGRAMS/CDBG/CDBG-ACCOMPLISHMENT-REPORTS/; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE CDBG PROGRAM REINFORCES SEVERAL IMPORTANT VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: PROGRAM FLEXIBILITY TO EMPOWER PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TAILORED TO THEIR OWN NEEDS AND PRIORITIES; AN EMPHASIS ON CONSOLIDATED PLANNING THAT EXPANDS AND STRENGTHENS PARTNERSHIPS AMONG ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN ENHANCING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES AND SET-ASIDE FOR GRANTEES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF THESE PARTNERS. EACH CDBG GRANTEE’S EXPECTED OUTCOMES ARE DESCRIBED AS GOALS IN THEIR CONSOLIDATED PLAN. THE MOST RECENT CONSOLIDATED PLANS CAN BE VIEWED AT: HTTPS://WWW.HUDEXCHANGE.INFO/GRANTEES/REPORTS/#CONSOLIDATED-PLANS-ANNUAL-ACTION-PLANS-AND-CAPERS; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: OVER A 1, 2, OR 3-YEAR PERIOD, AS SELECTED BY THE GRANTEE, NOT LESS THAN 70 PERCENT OF CDBG FUNDS MUST BE USED FOR ACTIVITIES THAT BENEFIT LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME PERSONS. HUD DOES NOT PROVIDE CDBG ASSISTANCE DIRECTLY TO INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, NONPROFIT OR ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM, SHOULD CONTACT THEIR LOCAL MUNICIPAL OR COUNTY OFFICIALS TO FIND OUT HOW THE PROGRAM OPERATES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS MAY DIFFER FROM ONE GRANTEE TO ANOTHER. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANTEE ADMINISTERS THE CDBG PROGRAM AND DETERMINES WHICH LOCAL PROJECTS RECEIVE FUNDING. ELIGIBLE GRANTEES ARE AS FOLLOWS: PRINCIPAL CITIES OF METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS (MSAS); OTHER METROPOLITAN CITIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 50,000; QUALIFIED URBAN COUNTIES WITH POPULATIONS OF AT LEAST 200,000 (EXCLUDING THE POPULATION OF ENTITLED CITIES); STATES AND INSULAR AREAS. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA IS FUNDED UNDER THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM. THE STATE OF HAWAII DOES NOT PARTICIPATE, AND HUD ALLOCATES THE STATE'S SHARE OF FUNDS TO THE THREE HAWAII NON-ENTITLED COUNTIES. THE STATES ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS IN THE STATE CDBG PROGRAM. SINCE STATES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW, AND TO RESPOND TO, THE NEEDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONGRESS AMENDED THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 (HCD ACT) IN 1981 TO GIVE EACH STATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADMINISTER CDBG FUNDS FOR NON-ENTITLEMENT AREAS.; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF AWARD.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: A SEMICONDUCTOR CURRICULUM AND LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR HIGH-SCHOOLERS USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, GAME MODULES, AND HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES -SEMICONDUCTORS ARE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES, ENABLING ADVANCES IN IMPORTANT APPLICATIONS AND SYSTEMS SUCH AS COMMUNICATION, HEALTHCARE, AND NATIONAL SECURITY. IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN THE U.S.'S GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY, THERE IS A GROWING DEMAND FOR A SKILLED SEMICONDUCTOR WORKFORCE. HIGH-SCHOOLERS ARE AMONG THE MOST FREQUENT USERS OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES. HOWEVER, MANY DO NOT KNOW HOW THESE DEVICES ARE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED. TO ADDRESS THE KNOWLEDGE GAPS AND WORKFORCE NEEDS EQUITABLY, THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A SEMICONDUCTOR CURRICULUM WITH HIGH-SCHOOL-AGED STUDENTS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, AND WITH PARTNERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION, K-12, AND INDUSTRIES, ENHANCED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AND OTHER INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES. GAME-BASED SEMICONDUCTOR MODULES WILL BE CREATED FOR STUDENTS TO PLAY AND LEARN WITH PEERS CHOOSING CULTURALLY DIVERSE AVATARS. THESE LEARNING MODULES WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO A WIDE RANGE OF STUDENTS THROUGH THE PROJECT COLLABORATOR STEMULI, A GAME-BASED LEARNING COMPANY. IN ADDITION, APPROXIMATELY 50 STUDENTS EACH SUMMER (YEARS 2-4) WILL BE ENGAGED IN IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS HOSTED IN MAINE AND TEXAS. THROUGH THESE WORKSHOPS, STUDENTS WILL BE ENGAGED IN HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES AND FIELD TRIPS TO SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANIES WHERE THEY WILL CONNECT THEIR GAME-BASED LEARNING WITH INDUSTRY EXPERIENCES. BASED ON STUDENTS' FEEDBACK, THE WORKSHOP AND GAME CURRICULUM WILL BE DESIGNED AND IMPROVED ITERATIVELY. THIS DEVELOPING AND TESTING INNOVATIONS (DTI) PROJECT AIMS TO HELP HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS DEVELOP SKILLS AND CAREER INTERESTS IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR FIELDS THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE GAME-BASED LEARNING PLATFORM, HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES, AND INDUSTRY FIELD TRIPS. THE OVERARCHING RESEARCH QUESTION IS: TO WHAT EXTENT DO THE DESIGNS AND INTEGRATION OF AI EDUCATOR(A GENERATIVE AI TOOL FOR EDUCATION), GAME-BASED LEARNING, AND HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES PROVIDE EQUITABLE ACCESS AND STRENGTHEN STUDENTS? ENGAGEMENTS, AWARENESS, INTERESTS, AND KNOWLEDGE IN STEM CAREERS? THE AI EDUCATOR WILL PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH SUGGESTIONS, ASSISTANCE, AND ADDITIONAL STUDY MATERIALS ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER. THE AI COMPONENT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TUNING THE OUTPUT CONTENT BASED ON THE STUDENT?S INTERESTS, HOBBIES, AND PREFERENCES TO MAKE THE EXPERIENCE MORE RELATABLE. DATA COLLECTION WILL INCLUDE STUDENTS? ATTITUDES, GAME ACTIVITIES, AND HANDS-ON LEARNING OUTCOMES. DESIGN-BASED RESEARCH METHODS WILL BE USED INCORPORATING THE NASA TASK LOAD INDEX, T-TEST, INTERVIEWS, AND SURVEYS TO UNDERSTAND STUDENTS? LEARNING AND EFFICACY OF THE GAME AND WORKSHOP CURRICULUM. THE TECHNOLOGY, PEDAGOGY, AND CONTENT KNOWLEDGE (TPACK) FRAMEWORK WILL BE USED AND REFINED THROUGHOUT THE AI AND GAME TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATIONS INTO THE SEMICONDUCTOR CURRICULUM AND EDUCATION PATHWAYS. THE PROJECT WILL BE DESIGNED WITH A FOCUS ON EQUITY, ACCESSIBILITY, ENGAGEMENT, AND COLLABORATION, CATERING TO STUDENTS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS. THIS PROJECT IS CO-FUNDED BY THE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS (ITEST) PROGRAM, WHICH SUPPORTS PROJECTS THAT BUILD UNDERSTANDINGS OF PRACTICES, PROGRAM ELEMENTS, CONTEXTS AND PROCESSES CONTRIBUTING TO INCREASING STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE AND INTEREST IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) AND INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) CAREERS. THIS PROJECT IS ALSO CO-FUNDED BY THE ADVANCING INFORMAL STEM LEARNING (AISL) PROGRAM AND THE DISCOVERY RESEARCH PREK-12 (DRK-12) PROGRAM. 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.

FY 2023 EXPANDING COVID-19 VACCINATION

DIGITAL CLINICAL HYPNOSIS FOR CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT - PROJECT SUMMARY CHRONIC PAIN IS A PREVALENT, DISABLING PROBLEM AFFECTING AS MANY AS 116 MILLION ADULTS IN THE UNITED STATES. HOWEVER, THERE ARE VERY FEW TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT, AND THOSE THAT ARE AVAILABLE ARE INADEQUATE FOR THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WITH THIS CONDITION. MANY ALSO HAVE SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS OR ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE EVENTS. A GROWING BODY OF RESEARCH SUPPORTS THE SHORT- AND LONG-TERM BENEFITS OF HYPNOSIS TREATMENT FOR CHRONIC PAIN. HYPNOSIS TREATMENT HAS ALSO BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE FEW NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS, WHILE ALSO HAVING ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OVER AND ABOVE REDUCTIONS IN PAIN INTENSITY, INCLUDING REDUCTIONS IN ANXIETY AND IMPROVEMENTS IN SLEEP QUALITY. HOWEVER, ACCESS TO HYPNOSIS TREATMENT IS LIMITED BECAUSE FEW HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS ARE TRAINED IN ITS USE. HYPNOSCIENTIFIC, INC. WAS ESTABLISHED TO INCREASE ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE HYPNOSIS TREATMENT BY DEVELOPING AND MAKING IT AVAILABLE ONLINE AND VIA MOBILE DEVICES, I.E., DIGITAL HYPNOSIS. TO MAXIMIZE EFFICACY, HYPNOSCIENTIFIC’S PRODUCTS ARE INFORMED BY THE FINDINGS FROM A WELL- ESTABLISHED AND ONGOING RESEARCH PROGRAM STUDYING THE MECHANISMS OF HYPNOTIC ANALGESIA, INCLUDING PILOT RESEARCH THAT HAS TESTED A HYPNOSIS DIGITAL THERAPEUTIC PROTOTYPE. THE FIRST AIM OF THE CURRENTLY PROPOSED PHASE I PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP THE HYPNOSIS DIGITAL THERAPEUTIC PROTOTYPE FURTHER BY: (1) UPDATING AND INCREASING THE NUMBER OF HYPNOSIS MEDIA TRACKS OFFERED, (2) DESIGNING A RULESET FOR CONTENT DELIVERY, (3) DEVELOPING UI/UX STANDARDS TO OPTIMIZE EASE OF USE AND EFFICACY, AND (4) DEVELOPING A CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONSISTENT WITH THIS RULESET, THAT WOULD ALLOW CONTENT TO BE PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS WITH CHRONIC PAIN VIA AN EXISTING TELEHEALTH COMPANY’S PLATFORM. THE PROJECT’S SECOND AIM IS TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE TECHNOLOGY DELIVERY SYSTEM DEVELOPED IN AIM 1 IN A SAMPLE OF 50 INDIVIDUALS WITH CHRONIC PAIN. THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE RANDOMIZED TO HAVING MORE ACCESS (I.E., 8 FULL WEEKS) OR LESS ACCESS (I.E., 4 WEEKS OF NO ACCESS FOLLOWED BY 4 WEEKS OF ACCESS) TO THE THERAPEUTIC, AND FEASIBILITY VARIABLES WILL BE COLLECTED DURING AND AFTER THE TRIAL. THE FINDINGS FROM THIS TRIAL WILL ALLOW US TO DETERMINE IF THE PROPOSED APPROACH FOR MAKING HYPNOSIS TREATMENT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE MILLIONS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM IT IS VIABLE. THE FINDINGS WILL ALSO PROVIDE DATA THAT WILL INFORM THE DESIGN OF A DEFINITIVE TRIAL TESTING THE TECHNOLOGY IN A PHASE II PROJECT.

INDIANA TECH PROVIDES CAREER-FOCUSED, PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS OF HIGHER EDUCATION AT 19 LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT INDIANA, ILLINOIS, AND KENTUCKY. OVER HALF OF INDIANA TECH STUDENTS ARE LOW-INCOME AND 47% IDENTIFY AS NON-WHITE. OVER ITS SIX-YEAR DURATION, THIS PROJECT WILL FUND SCHOLARSHIPS TO 21 UNIQUE FULL-TIME STUDENTS WHO ARE PURSUING BACHELOR'S DEGREES IN CYBERSECURITY, INFORMATION SYSTEMS, NETWORK ENGINEERING, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, COMPUTER ENGINEERING, AND COMPUTER SCIENCE. FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE UP TO FOUR YEARS OF SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT. SCHOLARS WILL BENEFIT FROM A ROBUST ORIENTATION PROCESS, PARTICIPATION IN A COMMON FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE COURSE, MONTHLY INTERACTION WITH INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS, SOCIAL EVENTS, ROBUST FACULTY AND PEER MENTORING PROGRAMS, AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WITH A FOCUS ON CAREER PREPARATION. ADDITIONALLY, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE, AND STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE A LAPTOP TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE ADEQUATE RESOURCES TO COMPLETE THEIR DEGREE PROGRAMS IN COMPUTING-RELATED FIELDS. A ROBUST EVALUATION PLAN WILL MEASURE THE IMPACT OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES ON THE PARTICIPANTS. THE BROADER IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT INCLUDE CONTRIBUTIONS TO WORKFORCE DIVERSITY BY ADDING AT LEAST 21 LOW-INCOME COMPUTING PROFESSIONALS TO THE WORKFORCE. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INCREASE STEM DEGREE COMPLETION OF LOW-INCOME, HIGH-ACHIEVING UNDERGRADUATES WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED. THE SPECIFIC AIMS OF THE PROJECT ARE TO ENROLL THREE COHORTS OF SEVEN LOW-INCOME, DOMESTIC STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, TALENT, OR PROMISE AND UNMET NEED; ACHIEVE A FIRST- TO SECOND- YEAR RETENTION RATE OF 85% AND A SIX-YEAR GRADUATION RATE OF 75% FOR DEVELOPING INDUSTRY AND INNOVATION SCHOLARS IN THE MIDWEST (DIISM) SCHOLARS; PREPARE AND PLACE 100% OF THE DIISM GRADUATES IN THE STEM WORKFORCE OR A GRADUATE PROGRAM WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF GRADUATION; AND MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAMMATIC ELEMENTS IN ORDER TO MOVE TOWARD INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE MOST PROMISING SUPPORTS. THE SIX MAJORS SELECTED FOR THIS PROJECT ARE ALL FAST-GROWING FIELDS WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AT SALARIES SUFFICIENT FOR UPWARD SOCIAL MOBILITY. A FOCUS ON COMPUTING MAJORS ALLOWS US TO DEVELOP PEER SUPPORT AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE INSTITUTION AND PROGRAM. THE PROJECT TEAM IDENTIFIED FOUR CRITICAL NEEDS THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED BY THE PROJECT (1) INADEQUATE PREPARATION FOR COLLEGE-LEVEL WORK (TIME-MANAGEMENT, STUDY SKILLS, MATHEMATICS PREPARATION, ETC.); (2) TECHNOLOGY ISSUES, SUCH AS STUDENTS TRYING TO COMPLETE AN ENTIRE COURSE FROM A PHONE OR IPAD OR HAVING UNRELIABLE INTERNET; (3) TIME COMMITMENTS OUTSIDE OF THEIR CLASSES, SUCH HAVING TO WORK AT LEAST 20 HOURS PER WEEK TO AFFORD COLLEGE AND, IN SOME CASES, WORKING FULL TIME WHILE ALSO ATTENDING CLASSES FULL TIME; AND (4) AN INCREASE IN MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THE DIISM PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO KNOWLEDGE BY DISSEMINATING THE RESULTS OF THE EVALUATION OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES IN PEER-REVIEWED CONFERENCES AND JOURNALS. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY NSF'S SCHOLARSHIPS IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS PROGRAM, WHICH SEEKS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LOW-INCOME ACADEMICALLY TALENTED STUDENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED WHO EARN DEGREES IN STEM FIELDS. IT ALSO AIMS TO IMPROVE THE EDUCATION OF FUTURE STEM WORKERS, AND TO GENERATE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ACADEMIC SUCCESS, RETENTION, TRANSFER, GRADUATION, AND ACADEMIC/CAREER PATHWAYS OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS. 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.
