COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER WILL ADDRESS THE CRITICAL NEEDS FOR NURSING IN OUR STATE, ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS WHERE THERE IS THE GREATEST NEED. SOUTH CAROLINA RANKS AMONG THE TOP FOUR STATES IN THE NATION WITH THE HIGHEST SHORTAGE OF NURSES PER CAPITA. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT BY 2030, THE STATE WILL HAVE A SHORTAGE OF UP TO 10,000 NURSES, ACCORDING TO WWW.REGISTEREDNURSING.ORG. THIS SHORTAGE IS MORE ALARMING IN RURAL AREAS LOCATED IN THE LOWER SAVANNAH REGION. WHILE THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED NURSES IN THE STATE GREW BY 21% BETWEEN 2010 AND 2020, RURAL AREAS STATEWIDE EXPERIENCED A DECREASE OF 27%. IN ADDITION, MANY NURSES ARE RETIRING EARLY DUE TO HEAVY DEMANDS IN THE PROFESSION. THIS INITIATIVE WILL HELP TO ADDRESS THIS CRUCIAL SHORTAGE BY CREATING A VIABLE PIPELINE OF QUALIFIED NURSES. THIS INITIATIVE ADDRESSES ONE OF CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY’S KEY STRATEGIC GOALS OF DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING A STATEOF- THE-ART NURSING AND PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER TO HELP TACKLE THE DAUNTING NURSING SHORTAGE IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. THIS CLINICAL FACILITY WILL ENHANCE TEACHING AND LEARNING AND PROVIDE FUNCTIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL CAPABILITIES, MODERN FACULTY OFFICES, AND RESEARCH SPACES. STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND THE COMMUNITY WILL BENEFIT FROM THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OFFERED BECAUSE THIS NEW CENTER WILL INCLUDE THE RELOCATION OF CLAFLIN’S STUDENT HEALTH CENTER. TODAY’S AND FUTURE STUDENTS ARE THE MAIN STAKEHOLDERS FOR CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY’S FIRST-EVER NURSING AND PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER DESIGNED FOR NURSING CLINICAL SIMULATION EDUCATION. IN PLANNING THIS CENTER, THE UNIVERSITY SOUGHT TO CREATE ENGAGING LEARNING SPACES THAT STUDENTS NEED FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE. BECAUSE NURSING SCHOOLS WITH CAPACITY ARE NEEDED TO CONFRONT THE REGIONAL NURSING SHORTAGE, FUNDING FOR THIS BUILDING WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF NURSES NEEDED TO ACCOMMODATE NURSING NEEDS FOR THE STATE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE RURAL POPULATIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. THIS INITIATIVE AIMS TO INCREASE BACCALAUREATE REGISTERED NURSES, NURSING LEADERS, AND FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER WORKFORCE IN SOUTH CAROLINA’S RURAL AREAS AND PROVIDE GREATER STUDENT ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. THIS NEW FACILITY AND ASSOCIATED FEATURES WILL ALLOW CLAFLIN TO GROW THE NURSING WORKFORCE BY INCREASING NURSE CLINICIANS' RECRUITMENT, EDUCATION, AND GRADUATION TO DELIVER COMMUNITY-BASED NURSING CARE IN RURAL SOUTH CAROLINA. MOREOVER, IT WILL HELP CLAFLIN TO PROMOTE ENHANCED HEALTHCARE FOR OUR STUDENTS BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE THROUGH OUR STUDENT HEALTH CENTER AND SET THE STAGE FOR FUTURE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO IMPROVE OVERALL HEALTH IN RURAL SOUTH CAROLIN

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT LOCATED IN ORANGEBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA, CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY (CU), AN INDEPENDENT, FOUR-YEAR, CO-EDUCATIONAL, RESIDENTIAL, CAREER-ORIENTED LIBERAL ARTS UNIVERSITY, IS AFFILIATED WITH THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. FOUNDED IN 1869, CU IS THE OLDEST HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY (HBCU) IN SOUTH CAROLINA. OVER 90% OF THE STUDENT BODY IS AFRICAN AMERICAN AND 39% ARE FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS, MAKING CU A VITAL PART OF LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL EFFORTS TO RECRUIT MINORITY AND FEMALE STUDENTS INTO ADVANCED DEGREES AND RESEARCH-ORIENTED CAREERS IN THE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) FIELDS. OUR COMMITMENT TO TRAIN FUTURE SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS THROUGH HANDS-ON, RESEARCH PURSUITS UNDER THE DIRECT MENTORSHIP OF ACTIVE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FACULTY HAS EMERGED AS OUR PRIMARY PEDAGOGIC PARADIGM. ALL STUDENTS IN CLAFLIN’S SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCES AND MATHEMATICS (SNSM) ARE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH THAT CULMINATES IN A SENIOR RESEARCH THESIS OR RESEARCH PROPOSAL. THE PROPOSED UNDERGRADUATE-RESEARCH INITIATIVE FOR STUDENT ENHANCEMENT (U- RISE) TARGETS INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH WITH 18 U-RISE TRAINEES, RECRUITED, SELECTED, AND RETAINED USING A HOLISTIC APPROACH, UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF 15 RESEARCHERS AT CU AND IN COLLABORATION WITH BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHERS IN RESEARCH-INTENSIVE ENVIRONMENTS FOCUSING ON NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH TRAINING PROGRAMS OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD. PROJECTS WILL BE CONDUCTED IN VARIOUS LABORATORIES (BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, MATHEMATICS-COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING) IN SNSM, WITH SELECTED PROJECTS INTEGRATED WITH COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH TO ADDRESS PERTINENT HEALTH DISPARITIES IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND EXTERNAL RESEARCH COLLABORATORS. FACULTY MENTORS WILL COMPLETE REQUIRED TRAINING ACTIVITIES THAT INCLUDE TOPICS OF DIVERSITY TRAINING AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY. TRAINEES WILL COMPLETE REQUIRED COURSES, INTRODUCTION TO RESEARCH AND RESEARCH ETHICS, AND PARTICIPATE IN WEEKLY SESSIONS TO INCLUDE JOURNAL CLUBS, RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH, CITI MODULES, WRITING MODULES, AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY MODULES, GRADUATE RECORD EXAM PREPARATION, APPLICATION FOR INTERNSHIPS, APPLICATION FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL, ORAL AND POSTER PREPARATION AND PRACTICE, MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION, AND INTERVIEW SKILLS. MOREOVER, TEAM BUILDING SESSIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM, FROM ORIENTATION TO GRADUATION, WILL PROVIDE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT. STUDENTS’ PREPARATION, ENTHUSIASM, AND SELF-CONFIDENCE WILL ENHANCE CAREER DEVELOPMENT WITH AN INCREASED NUMBER OF UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS ENTERING AND COMPLETING PH.D. PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICAL-FOCUSED AREAS. AS A RESULT, WE AIM TO PLACE 33% OF TRAINEES (2 GRADUATING TRAINEES) INTO PH.D. PROGRAMS YEARLY AFTER THE THIRD YEAR, 6 AT THE END OF 5 YEARS, WITHIN 3 YEARS OF GRADUATION, BUILDING UPON STRATEGIC PLANS FOR RECRUITMENT, SELECTION, AND RETENTION AS WELL AS UPON IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFICIENT TRACKING TO COMPLETION. WITH THESE PLANS IMPLEMENTED PROPERLY FROM LESSONS LEARNED IN OUR RISE PROGRAM AND FROM OTHER SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS, WE ANTICIPATE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN STUDENTS’ MATRICULATING INTO PH.D. AND MD/PH.D. PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER ENTERING MASTER’S PROGRAMS.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH: A COMPARISON OF EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES AT INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH: BUILDING ADAPTIVE COMMUNITIES VIA INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AND TRAINING -FREQUENT EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS OR NATURAL DISASTERS ARE POSING SIGNIFICANT THREATS TO LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS. PREVIOUS RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT THE HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED, MINORITY COMMUNITIES OFTEN FACE DISPROPORTIONATE VULNERABILITIES TO CLIMATE UNCERTAINTY DUE TO VARIOUS SOCIO-ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. THEREFORE, A MULTIPRONGED APPROACH EQUIPPED WITH INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AND TRAINING IS NEEDED TO MITIGATE THE CHALLENGES POSED BY CLIMATE UNCERTAINTY. TO THIS END, AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TRAINING OF STUDENTS FROM UNDERSERVED REGIONS, A WORKSHOP FOR FACULTY MEMBERS, AND A STUDY OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS? PREFERENCES FOR ECONOMIC AND ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL STRENGTHEN ADAPTIVE, RESILIENT COMMUNITIES. THE TRAINING OF STUDENTS FROM THE UNDERSERVED REGIONS AND COMMUNITIES WILL IMPROVE THEIR INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE BASE WHICH WILL EMBOLDEN THEIR ADAPTATION SKILLS, RESILIENCY, AND ENTREPRENEURIAL ACUMEN TO TACKLE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES. THE WORKSHOP FOR FACULTY MEMBERS WILL FOSTER BOTH INTRA-INSTITUTIONAL AND INTER-INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH COLLABORATION AMONG PEERS. THESE MULTIPRONGED ACTIVITIES WILL ENHANCE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES? ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS, RESEARCH SKILLS, AND ECONOMIC AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT CAPACITIES. BUILDING OF SUCH ADAPTIVE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES TO BETTER COPE WITH AND BOUNCE BACK FROM SETBACKS INDUCED BY ADVERSE EVENTS OR NATURAL DISASTERS WILL STRENGTHEN THE OVERALL SOCIO-ECONOMIC RESILIENCE FOR ALL AMERICANS. THE PROGRAMMATIC FOCUS OF THIS PROJECT IS TO STRENGTHEN ADAPTABILITY TO CLIMATE UNCERTAINTY OF UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES THAT LAG IN SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS. THE TRAINING OF THE MINORITY STUDENTS FROM UNDERSERVED COUNTIES WILL PREPARE COHORTS OF ADAPTIVE, DIVERSE WORKFORCE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF FUTURE WORKPLACES. A PANEL OF SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS WILL TRAIN STUDENTS ON CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCY FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF SOCIAL SCIENCE, NATURAL SCIENCE, ENTREPRENEURIAL ECONOMICS, FOOD SECURITY, AND HEALTH. THE TRAINING OF YOUNG STUDENTS WILL YIELD LONG-TERM BENEFITS AS THE TRAINEES WILL SERVE THE LOCAL AND U.S. WORKFORCE FOR DECADES TO COME. THE FOCUS OF THE FACULTY RESEARCH COLLABORATION WORKSHOP IS TO STUDY CLIMATE UNCERTAINTY ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCE OPTIONS AND TO EXPLORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES FOR HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED REGIONS. THIS COLLABORATION WORKSHOP WILL ALSO FACILITATE LEVERAGING INTER-INSTITUTIONAL SHARING OF HUMAN CAPITAL, INFRASTRUCTURES, AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR CLIMATE UNCERTAINTY RESEARCH. THE STAKEHOLDER SURVEY WILL CAPTURE LOCAL INNOVATIVE IDEAS REGARDING PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS TO FOSTER ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES. THE SURVEY RESULTS WILL ENCAPSULATE THE LOCAL INGENUITY OF RESIDENTS, BUSINESS OWNERS/MANAGERS AND OFFICIALS FROM LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCIES AND NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS FROM SAMPLE ECONOMICALLY DISTRESSED CENSUS TRACTS. DELIVERABLES FROM IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROJECT MAY ALSO HELP DEVELOP A COURSE ON INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY. ALSO, THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE WILL BENEFIT FROM PUBLIC DISSEMINATION OF THE EMPIRICAL INSIGHTS FROM THIS PROJECT IN THE FORM OF CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS, JOURNAL PUBLICATIONS, AND PROVISION FOR USER ACCESS TO THE DATA TO BE GENERATED DUE TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROJECT. THIS PROJECT IS JOINTLY FUNDED BY BUILD AND BROADEN AND THE ESTABLISHED PROGRAM TO STIMULATE COMPETITIVE RESEARCH (EPSCOR). 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.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH: DEVELOPING A MODEL SYSTEM FOR STUDYING THE DETERMINANTS OF FLOWER MORPHOLOGY IN TROPICAL DIOECIOUS TREES -IN MANY PLANT SPECIES, ONE CAN FIND PRESENCE OF MALE AND FEMALE FLOWERS ON SEPARATE PLANTS OR ON SAME PLANTS OR SINGLE FLOWERS CARRYING BOTH THE STAMENS (MALE) AND PISTIL (FEMALE) PARTS. THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN GENETICS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN DETERMINING THE FLOWER TYPE AND DEVELOPMENT OF FLORAL ORGANS IN SUCH PLANTS REMAINS LARGELY UNINVESTIGATED. TO STUDY THIS PHENOMENON, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL USE COCCOLOBA DIVERSIFOLIA (PIGEONPLUM), A NATIVE OF NEOTROPICAL COASTAL AREAS OF SOUTHERN FLORIDA, CARIBBEAN, SOUTHERN MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA. IT IS AN IMPORTANT NATIVE TROPICAL TREE AND SHOWS A VARYING DEGREE OF FLOWER PATTERNS MENTIONED ABOVE. THE TEAM WILL SEQUENCE THE GENOME OF THIS PLANT SPECIES AND PROFILE THE GENETICS AND FLOWERING PATTERNS FOUND IN A WILD POPULATION TO IDENTIFY THE REGIONS OF GENOME THAT PLAY A ROLE IN REGULATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF FLOWERS AND FLORAL ORGANS. THE PROPOSED EXPERIMENTS, DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSES WILL PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY AND SOURCE MATERIAL TO TRAIN THE GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS REPRESENTING THE FULL SPECTRUM OF DIVERSE TALENT IN GENOMICS, BIOINFORMATICS, BIOLOGICAL DATA SCIENCE AND CONSERVATION. AMONG DIOECIOUS TAXA, THE FACTORS AND MECHANISMS DETERMINING WHICH BIOLOGICAL INDIVIDUALS ARE PISTILLATE AND WHICH ARE STAMINATE ARE STILL NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD. IN A SMALL MINORITY OF CASES, HETEROMORPHIC CHROMOSOMES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ONE MAJOR DETERMINANT. IN OTHER CASES, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS MAJOR DETERMINANTS. YET EVEN THESE CASES APPEAR NOT TO IDENTIFY STRICT DETERMINANTS. MOREOVER, THE BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS IN WHICH THESE PHENOMENA ARE STUDIED, HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY HERBACEOUS AND TEMPERATE. THE PROJECT LOOKS TO EXAMINE THE INTERPLAY OF GENETICS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE DETERMINATION OF PISTILLATE AND STAMINATE INDIVIDUALS IN A TROPICAL TREE WITH VARIABLE FLORAL EXPRESSION. THE PROJECT WILL (1) ASSEMBLE AND ANNOTATE THE COMPLETE NUCLEAR GENOME OF THE STUDY TAXON COCCOLOBA DIVERSIFOLIA USING A COMBINATION OF SHORT- AND LONG-READ DNA SEQUENCING ALONG WITH PROXIMITY LIGATION, (2) IDENTIFY THE GENETIC REGIONS CONTRIBUTING TO THE DETERMINATION OF PISTILLATE OR STAMINATE INDIVIDUALS THROUGH POPULATION SAMPLING, SHALLOW WHOLE GENOME SHOTGUN SEQUENCING AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF MORPHOLOGY-SPECIFIC READS, AND (3) ASSESS THE CONTRIBUTION OF ENVIRONMENT IN DETERMINING FLOWER MORPHOLOGY THROUGH THE DOCUMENTATION OF FLOWER MORPHOLOGY RATIOS IN RELATION TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR POPULATIONS OF C. DIVERSIFOLIA IN SOUTH FLORIDA. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL PROVIDE TRAINING AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDENTS FROM UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES ON EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, GENOMICS, AND BIOINFORMATICS. 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.
