APIA STAYING CONNECTED DURING COVID-19 - THROUGH TECHNOLOGY, ALEUTIAN PRIBILOF ISLANDS ASSOCIATION AIMS FOSTER CONNECTIVITY WITH ADULTS 25 YEARS AND OLDER BY DEVELOPING ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES IN EFFORT TO PREVENT SUICIDES AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. APIA’S MISSION IS TO PROMOTE SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE UNANGAX^ (ALEUT) PEOPLE BY ADVOCACY, TRAINING, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND ECONOMIC ENHANCEMENT; TO ASSIST IN MEETING THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELL¬-BEING NEEDS OF EACH UNANGAX^ COMMUNITY; TO PROMOTE, STRENGTHEN AND ENSURE THE UNITY OF THE UNANGAX^; AND, TO STRENGTHEN AND PRESERVE THE UNANGAX^ CULTURAL HERITAGE. THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION AWARD COVID-19 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION GRANT (COVID-19 ERSP) ALIGNS WITH APIA’S MISSION TO MEET THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELL-BEING NEEDS OF UNANGAX^ COMMUNITIES. THE UNANGAX^ REGION IS COMPRISED OF SPARSELY POPULATED ARCHIPELAGO ISLANDS. THE RUGGED BEAUTY AND RICH HISTORY ARE IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE RUTHLESS WEATHER (FOG, WIND, RAIN, REPEAT). RESIDENTS ARE A HARDY GROUP. THEY HAVE HAD TO RELY ON EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE, WHICH THE TASK OF DAILY LIVING CAN TAKE A TOLL. THE RATE OF SUICIDE AMONG ALL ALASKANS IN 2017, 26.9 PER 100,000, WAS NEARLY 2 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL RATE. FOR ALASKA NATIVE PEOPLE IN 2017, THE RATE WAS MORE THAN 3 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL RATE, 51.9 PER 100,000 (U.S. CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC). SUICIDE MORTALITY BY STATE: 2016). MORE THAN 4 IN 5 AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE (AI/AN) WOMEN (84.3 PERCENT) HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENCE IN THEIR LIFETIME (ROSAY, 2016). THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPACTS THIS AT-RISK POPULATION DISPROPORTIONALLY (HTTPS://WWW.CDC.GOV/CORONAVIRUS/2019-NCOV/NEED-EXTRA-PRECAUTIONS/RACIAL-ETHNIC-MINORITIES.HTML). THERE IS A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR AN INCREASE IN SUICIDES AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN BOTH THE REGION AND IN THE URBAN CENTER, WITHIN A STATE THAT ALREADY FACES SUCH HIGH NUMBERS IN THESE AREAS, IT IS A PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF APIA’S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES PROGRAM AND THE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS PROGRAM IN ORDER TO INCREASE SUPPORT AND COMMUNICATION WITH AT-RISK ADULTS AGE 25 YEARS OR OLDER WHO ARE AT GREATER RISK OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SUICIDE DUE TO COVID-19. THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED TO REACH OUR GOAL: OBJECTIVE 1: BY NOVEMBER 15, 2020, APIA HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS PROGRAM WILL HAVE THREE PUBLIC SERVICES ANNOUNCEMENTS FOCUSED ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND RESOURCES COMPLETED AND READY FOR RELEASE IN ATKA, NIKOLSKI, ST. GEORGE, AND UNALASKA VIA PUBLIC RADIO AND VHF (IN COMMUNITIES WITHOUT RADIO). WE WILL ALSO POST THE PSAS ON FACEBOOK FOR A WIDER AUDIENCE TO RAISE AWARENESS AND PROMOTE SERVICES DURING TIMES OF SOCIAL ISOLATION DUE TO COVID-19. OBJECTIVE 2: BY JANUARY 30, 2021, APIA WILL HAVE AN APP AND PATIENT PORTAL WITH 24-HOUR ACCESS. THIS WILL INCREASE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO ADULTS WHO MAY BE ISOLATED DUE TO COVID-19. THE APP AND PATIENT PORTAL WILL HAVE EVIDENCED BASED RESOURCES SUCH AS VIDEO CLIPS (E.G., MINDFULNESS EXERCISES), WORKSHEETS (CBT AND DBT ACTIVITY SHEETS), AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT CONTENT (E.G., APIA’S UNANGAM TUNUU WORD OF THE DAY). NATIONAL SUICIDE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NUMBERS WILL BE ON THE APP AND PORTAL ALONG WITH THE STATE WIDE AA CALL IN NUMBER.

SPANNING 8,000 SQUARE MILES, THESE COMMUNITIES ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED AND DEPEND HEAVILY ON EAT FOR THEIR HEALTH SERVICES. THE TOR PROGRAM'S PRIMARY GOAL IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OPIOID MISUSE THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH ENCOMPASSING PREVENTION, HARM REDUCTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT. EAT SERVES APPROXIMATELY 2,000 CLIENTS ANNUALLY, WITH ALASKA NATIVES MAKING UP 27% OF THE POPULATION SERVED. THE REGION HAS EXPERIENCED A TROUBLING RISE IN HEROIN-RELATED ADMISSIONS, UNDERSCORING THE URGENT NEED FOR LOCALLY ACCESSIBLE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS. IN 2016, EAT CLINICS DOCUMENTED 57 VISITS RELATED TO SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, HIGHLIGHTING THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR EXPANDED AND SPECIALIZED SERVICES. THE OPIOID CRISIS HAS DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED RURAL AND INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS, NECESSITATING CULTURALLY SENSITIVE AND REGION-SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS. THE TOR PROGRAM AIMS TO ENHANCE RECOVERY SERVICES BY OFFERING A SPECTRUM OF SUPPORT, INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING, INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT (IOP), AND PEER SUPPORT, TAILORED TO MEET THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF EACH CLIENT. WE ANTICIPATE PROVIDING INDIVIDUALIZED CARE TO 15-20 CLIENTS ANNUALLY. LEVERAGING TELEHEALTH CAPABILITIES WILL BE CRUCIAL IN ENSURING THAT EVEN THE MOST REMOTE AREAS CAN ACCESS VITAL TREATMENT SERVICES, THEREBY COMPLEMENTING OUR EXISTING MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) PROGRAM. EAT WILL OFFER ASAM LEVEL 1.0 OUTPATIENT AND ASAM 2.1 LEVEL IOP SERVICES, INTEGRATING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES SUCH AS COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT), MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING (MI), AND CLIENT-CENTERED THERAPY TO ENHANCE TREATMENT EFFICACY. PEER SUPPORT SPECIALISTS WILL PLAY AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN THE TOR PROGRAM, PROVIDING CLIENTS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THEIR RECOVERY JOURNEY. THIS PEER-DRIVEN APPROACH IS DESIGNED TO FOSTER TRUST, ENHANCE ENGAGEMENT, AND IMPROVE TREATMENT OUTCOMES. PEER SUPPORT NOT ONLY EMPOWERS CLIENTS BUT ALSO STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY TIES AND PROMOTES A SUPPORTIVE RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT. ADDITIONALLY, RIGOROUS DATA COLLECTION AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT, AS MANDATED BY SAMHSA, WILL BE IMPLEMENTED TO ENSURE CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROGRAM'S IMPACT EFFECTIVELY. EAT'S TOR PROGRAM IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING WITH OPIOID ADDICTION. THROUGH FOSTERING COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, LEVERAGING ADVANCED TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY, AND EMPLOYING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES, THE PROGRAM AIMS TO CREATE HEALTHIER, MORE RESILIENT COMMUNITIES IN THE EASTERN ALEUTIAN REGION. BY ADDRESSING THE OPIOID CRISIS COMPREHENSIVELY, EAT IS DEDICATED TO REDUCING THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF OPIOID MISUSE AND ENHANCING THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF THE REGION'S RESIDENTS. THE PROGRAM'S HOLISTIC APPROACH NOT ONLY ADDRESSES IMMEDIATE TREATMENT NEEDS BUT ALSO FOCUSES ON LONG-TERM RECOVERY AND PREVENTION STRATEGIES TO ENSURE ENDURING POSITIVE OUTCOMES. EAT REMAINS COMMITTED TO CONTINUALLY ADAPTING AND EVOLVING THE PROGRAM TO MEET EMERGING CHALLENGES AND TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CARE TO ITS CLIENTS.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMMUNE EVASIVE STEM CELL LINE FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES REGENERATIVE THERAPY - PROJECT SUMMARY TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS (T1DM) IS AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE CHARACTERIZED BY THE DESTRUCTION OF INSULIN-PRODUCING Β-CELLS WITHIN PANCREATIC ISLETS, CULMINATING IN DYSREGULATED BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS, AFFECTING 2 MILLION AMERICANS. THE STANDARD OF CARE FOR T1DM IS CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING AND EXOGENOUS INSULIN THERAPY. DESPITE SIGNIFICANT ADVANCEMENTS IN INSULIN DELIVERY METHODS, ONLY 17% OF CHILDREN AND 21% OF ADULTS ACHIEVE THE RECOMMENDED HBA1C LEVELS OF <7.5 AND 7%, RESPECTIVELY. CLINICAL ISLET TRANSPLANTATION (CIT), DURING WHICH ALLOGENEIC DONOR ISLETS ARE INJECTED INTO THE PORTAL VEIN, HAS SUCCESSFULLY OBTAINED 78% INSULIN INDEPENDENCE; HOWEVER, CIT IS CHALLENGED BY ALLOGENEIC HUMAN CADAVERIC ISLET SUPPLY, GRAFT FAILURE, AND THE NEED FOR CHRONIC IMMUNOSUPPRESSION. IMPLANTATION OF CADAVER ISLETS OR STEM CELL-DERIVED ISLETS (SC-ISLETS) EITHER UNENCAPSULATED OR SURROUNDED BY A SEMIPERMEABLE ENCAPSULATING MEMBRANE DESIGNED TO BE IMMUNE-PROTECTIVE IS ALSO BEING EXPLORED BUT REQUIRES IMMUNOSUPPRESSION OR PRESENTS THE RISK OF FIBROSIS, RESPECTIVELY. NONE OF THE CURRENT TREATMENTS HAVE REPLICATED NATIVE Β-CELL FUNCTION; THEREFORE, THERE IS A CRITICAL UNMET NEED FOR MORE EFFICACIOUS T1DM TREATMENTS. THUS, ALEUTIAN THERAPEUTICS (ALEUTIAN) IS DEVELOPING A NOVEL CELL THERAPY THAT ADDRESSES THE LIMITATIONS OF AVAILABLE TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR T1DM. ALEUTIAN’S INNOVATIVE NOVEL TECHNOLOGY INVOLVES THE GENERATION OF ALLOGENEIC ISLET-LIKE ORGANOIDS FROM PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS AND GENE MODIFICATION TO ENABLE IMMUNE EVASION UPON TRANSPLANTATION. TOGETHER, THESE INNOVATIONS WILL ALLEVIATE THE CELL SUPPLY LIMITATION AND THE REQUIREMENT FOR IMMUNE SUPPRESSION TREATMENT OF CURRENT CELL THERAPIES. ALEUTIAN’S ACADEMIC COLLABORATOR HAS PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED ANIMAL STUDIES DEMONSTRATING: 1) THE SUCCESSFUL DIFFERENTIATION OF STEM CELLS INTO ISLET-LIKE ORGANOIDS AND GLYCEMIC CONTROL UPON TRANSPLANTATION; AND 2) THE EXTENSION OF CELL SURVIVAL FOLLOWING THE INTRODUCTION OF PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH LIGAND 1, A KNOWN REGULATOR OF IMMUNE TOLERANCE, IN AN IMMUNE-COMPETENT XENO MOUSE MODEL. HOWEVER, THESE CELLS DO NOT SURVIVE IN THE MICE LONG-TERM DUE TO XENO AND ALLO IMMUNE REJECTION. ALEUTIAN THEREFORE PLANS TO DEVELOP A PANEL OF EDITS TARGETING BROAD INNATE AND ADAPTIVE IMMUNE COMPARTMENTS. THE GOAL OF THIS PHASE I STUDY WILL BE TO SHOW IN VITRO PROOF-OF-CONCEPT OF IMMUNE EVASION WITH THESE EDITS AND THE ABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE INTO ALLOGENEIC ISLET-LIKE ORGANOIDS. WE AIM TO PRODUCE AND BANK THE GENE-EDITED CELL LINES AND SUBSEQUENTLY EVALUATE THEM FOR SC-ISLET DIFFERENTIATION, IN VITRO FUNCTION, AND IMMUNE EVASION IN VITRO. SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE PROPOSED PHASE I STUDY WILL SHOW THAT ENGINEERED STEM CELL-DERIVED ISLET-LIKE ORGANOIDS ARE CAPABLE OF GLUCOSE-STIMULATED INSULIN SECRETION WHILE EVADING IMMUNE REACTIVITY IN VITRO, WHICH WILL INFORM PHASE II IN VIVO EFFICACY STUDIES.

DEVELOPMENT OF IMMUNE EVASIVE STRATEGIES FOR ALLOGENEIC CELL REPLACEMENT THERAPIES - PROJECT SUMMARY CELL THERAPY IS A PROMISING NEW MODALITY TO TREAT, AND POTENTIALLY CURE, A VARIETY OF DISEASES. THERE ARE CURRENTLY OVER A DOZEN CELL THERAPY PRODUCTS APPROVED BY THE FDA ADDRESSING A VARIETY OF DISEASES INCLUDING CANCER, TYPE 1 DIABETES, AND SICKLE CELL DISEASE. HOWEVER, MOST OF THESE APPROACHES INVOLVE AUTOLOGOUS CELL TRANSPLANTS, WHICH FACE CHALLENGES INCLUDING UNSCALABLE MANUFACTURING AND COMPLEX LOGISTICS, IMPEDING WIDESPREAD ACCESSIBILITY. THERE IS THEREFORE A CRITICAL NEED TO DEVELOP NEW APPROACHES, SUCH AS ALLOGENEIC CELL TRANSPLANTS, TO LOWER COSTS AND BROADEN ACCESS TO THESE POTENTIALLY CURATIVE THERAPIES. PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS REPRESENT A PROMISING APPROACH TO ALLOGENEIC CELL THERAPY BY PROVIDING AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF CELLS AND THE ABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE TO ANY CELL TYPE. A KEY LIMITATION, HOWEVER, IS HOST IMMUNE REJECTION OF THE STEM-CELL DERIVED PRODUCT UPON TRANSPLANTATION, WHICH CURRENTLY NECESSITATES LIFELONG USE OF IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE DRUGS, WHICH CAN BE TOXIC. THUS, ALEUTIAN THERAPEUTICS (ALEUTIAN) IS DEVELOPING AN IMMUNE EVASION TECHNOLOGY USING GENE EDITING TO OVERCOME THE CURRENT LIMITATIONS OF STEM-CELL DERIVED CELL THERAPIES. ALEUTIAN’S INNOVATIVE NOVEL TECHNOLOGY INVOLVES GENE EDITING OF PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS SO THAT STEM CELL-DERIVED CELL THERAPIES CAN BE TRANSPLANTED WITHOUT THE NEED FOR IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE DRUGS. ALEUTIAN’S ACADEMIC COLLABORATOR HAS PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED ANIMAL STUDIES DEMONSTRATING THAT A PANEL OF 12 GENETIC EDITS IS SUFFICIENT TO ENABLE HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS TO OVERCOME THE XENOGENEIC BARRIER AND SURVIVE FOR NEARLY SIX MONTHS IN FULLY IMMUNE COMPETENT MICE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED PHASE I RESEARCH IS TO ASCERTAIN THE MINIMAL NUMBER OF EDITS REQUIRED TO OVERCOME THE XENOGENEIC COMPLEMENT AND NK (NATURAL KILLER) BARRIERS. EXTENSIVE PRELIMINARY DATA SUGGEST THE INHIBITION OF T CELLS, NK CELLS, AND COMPLEMENT ARE ESSENTIAL TO OVERCOMING THE XENOGENEIC BARRIER IN MICE. SPECIFIC AIM 1 FOCUSES ON DETERMINING THE MINIMAL EDITS REQUIRED FOR PROTECTION FROM COMPLEMENT- DEPENDENT CYTOTOXICITY, EVALUATING WHETHER A SINGLE EDIT WITH HUMAN COMPLEMENT RECEPTOR TYPE 1 (HCR1) SUFFICES. SPECIFIC AIM 2 WILL IDENTIFY THE MOST EFFECTIVE GENETIC MODIFICATIONS FOR EVADING NK CELL-MEDIATED REJECTION, PARTICULARLY INVESTIGATING ROLES OF H2-KB AND QA1 PROTEINS IN A HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL KNOCKOUT BACKGROUND. SPECIFIC AIM 3 AIMS TO COMBINE THESE FINDINGS TO DEVELOP A STEM CELL LINE WITH MINIMAL GENETIC EDITS NECESSARY FOR IMMUNE EVASION, VALIDATED THROUGH IN VIVO TESTING IN B CELL-DEFICIENT MICE. SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE PROPOSED PHASE I STUDY WILL SHOW THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF EDITS REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE AN IMMUNE EVASIVE PHENOTYPE, WHICH WILL INFORM PHASE II PRE-CLINICAL STUDIES.

DEVELOPMENT OF A GENE EDITED PLATFORM TO ENABLE HUMAN ALLOGENEIC CELL REPLACEMENT THERAPY - SUMMARY STEM CELL-BASED THERAPIES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO REGENERATE CELLS, TISSUES, AND ORGANS DAMAGED BY INJURY, AGE, AND AUTOIMMUNITY. PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL (PSC)-BASED CLINICAL TRIALS HAVE BEGUN IN WHICH RETINAL PIGMENTAL EPITHELIAL CELLS, DOPAMINERGIC NEURONS, AND INSULIN-PRODUCING BETA CELLS ARE USED TO TREAT MACULAR DEGENERATION, PARKINSON’S DISEASE, AND TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D), RESPECTIVELY. THE INITIAL RESULTS HAVE BEEN QUITE PROMISING, AND CLEARLY THE FUTURE OF THIS AVENUE OF INVESTIGATION AND TREATMENT IS BRIGHT. THE CASE FOR USING THIS APPROACH TO TREAT T1D IS PERHAPS THE STRONGEST, GIVEN THAT MATURE BETA CELL TRANSPLANTS FROM CADAVERS HAVE LONG BEEN SHOWN TO BE CURATIVE, AND INITIAL PSC-DERIVED BETA CELL TRANSPLANTS HAVE ALSO LED TO INDEPENDENCE FROM EXOGENOUS INSULIN. ALEUTIAN THERAPEUTICS IS FOCUSED ON THIS LINE OF TREATMENT FOR CURING T1D. NONETHELESS, THERE ARE MAJOR BARRIERS TO BE OVERCOME TO MAKE THESE TYPES OF PSC-BASED THERAPIES PRACTICAL AND ACCESSIBLE. AUTOLOGOUS IPSC-BASED APPROACHES, FOR INSTANCE, ARE COSTLY AND UNSCALABLE. ALLOGENEIC PSC-BASED APPROACHES, ON THE OTHER HAND, REQUIRE ADMINISTRATION OF TOXIC IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE DRUGS TO AVOID DESTRUCTION OF TRANSPLANTED CELLS BY THE HOST IMMUNE SYSTEM. TO OVERCOME THESE LIMITATIONS, ALEUTIAN THERAPEUTICS (ALEUTIAN) IS DEVELOPING A NOVEL GENE EDITING-BASED PLATFORM TO ENABLE ALLOGENEIC PSCS AND THEIR PROGENY TO EVADE RECOGNITION BY THE HOST IMMUNE SYSTEM. ALEUTIAN’S INNOVATIVE APPROACH HAS SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED SURVIVAL OF PSC GRAFTS IN MICE WITH A FULLY FUNCTIONAL IMMUNE SYSTEM. IN CONTRAST, OTHERS DEVELOPING SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES HAVE RELIED ON IN VITRO STUDIES OR HUMANIZED MICE, WHICH MAY NOT REPRESENT THE COMPLEXITY OF A NATIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM. IN FACT, ALEUTIAN’S TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN SHOWN TO ENABLE HUMAN PSC TO SURVIVE FOR NEARLY 6 MONTHS IN IMMUNOCOMPETENT MICE, EFFECTIVELY OVERCOMING THE XENOGENEIC BARRIER, OFTEN REGARDED AS EVEN HIGHER THAN THE ALLOGENEIC BARRIER. HAVING USED THIS APPROACH TO SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFY THE KEY IMMUNE RECOGNITION PATHWAYS THAT MUST BE EVADED, THE GOALS OF THIS PHASE 1 STUDY ARE TO NOW 1) ADAPT OUR SYSTEM IN WHICH MOUSE IMMUNE EVASION GENES ARE SWAPPED WITH THE FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT HUMAN ORTHOLOGS; 2) DEFINE THE MINIMUM REQUIRED COMBINATIONS OF THESE HUMAN IMMUNE EVASION FACTORS THROUGH FUNCTIONAL ASSAYS; 3) CONFIRM THAT THESE EDITS DO NOT IMPACT BETA CELL DIFFERENTIATION AND ALLOW BETA CELLS TO EVADE THE KEY ARMS OF THE HOST IMMUNE SYSTEM. SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS STUDY WILL INFORM THE DESIGN AND GENERATION OF A CRISPR-CAS9 EDITED CELL LINE THAT CAN BE FURTHER EVALUATED IN IN VIVO PRE-CLINICAL STUDIES DURING A PHASE II PROGRAM.

DESCRIPTION:THE PURPOSE OF THIS AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN-FUNDED AND COMPETITIVELY SELECTED AWARD IS TO CONDUCT AMBIENT AIR MONITORING OF POLLUTANTS OF GREATEST CONCERN IN COMMUNITIES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH OUTCOME DISPARITIES STEMMING FROM POLLUTION AND THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE ALEUTIAN PRIBILOF ISLANDS ASSOCIATION, INC. (APIA) HAS DEVELOPED AND SUCCEEDED IN BUILDING AND GROWING THIS RSVP PROGRAM FOR THE ANCHORAGE AND MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH DURING THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS. WITHIN THESE FIRST THREE YEARS, APIA?S NEW RSVP PROGRAM HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON BUILDING A STRONG PROGRAM FROM THE GROUND UP, RECRUITING VOLUNTEERS, BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, FOSTERING AND MAINTAINING LONGEVITY WITH RSVP VOLUNTEERS AND LISTENING AND ADAPTING TO THE CHANGING COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE APIA RSVP PROGRAM IS EAGER TO SHAPE THIS PROGRAM WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEAR CYCLE AND DIVE DEEPER INTO MEETING THE MOST CRITICAL COMMUNITY NEEDS WHILE FOCUSING OUR RSVP VOLUNTEERS, STATIONS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES ACCORDING TO THOSE EXPRESSED COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE STATE OF ALASKA HAS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING SENIOR POPULATIONS IN THE NATION. ACCORDING TO THE FY2016 ANNUAL REPORT: ALASKA'S ROADMAP TO SUCCESSFUL AGING, WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED BY THE STATE OF ALASKA COMMISSION ON AGING, THE 65 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER SENIOR COHORT HAS INCREASED BY 61.5% FROM 2004 TO 2014. WITHIN A 6 YEAR PERIOD FROM 2010 TO 2016 THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE OF 30.5% INCREASE IN POPULATION FOR THE SENIORS AGE 60 TO 64. IN ADDITION TO THOSE STAGGERING INCREASES THE 85 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER SENIOR COHORT HAS INCREASED BY 33.3% FROM THE YEARS 2010 TO 2016. ECONOMIC AND POPULATION ANALYSTS' CONTINUE TO PROJECT LARGE INCREASES IN THE SENIOR POPULATION IN THE FUTURE AS THE "BABY BOOMER" GENERATIONS COME OF AGE. IN ALASKA, THE STATE APPROVED LONG-TERM CARE/ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY, THE PIONEER HOME, HAD A WAITLIST OF 368 APPLICANTS IN 2016. IN ADDITION TO THE LACK OF SENIOR HOUSING OPTIONS, ALASKA HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST MEDIAN COSTS FOR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY CARE. CONSIDERING THAT THE AVERAGE MONTHLY SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENT FOR ALASKA SENIORS AGE 65 AND OLDER WAS ONLY $1,306 IN DECEMBER OF 2016 THIS LEAVES A LARGE GAP OF SENIORS UNABLE TO PAY FOR ASSISTED LIVING HOME CARE. SENIORS THAT FALL WITHIN THIS FINANCIAL GAP RELY ON SENIOR INDEPENDENT LIVING AND SUPPORTS TO MAINTAIN INDEPENDENCY. APIA WILL BE REDIRECTING EFFORTS INTO SUPPORTING SENIORS BY FOCUSING 76 RSVP VOLUNTEERS IN OUTCOME ASSIGNMENTS AND 8 ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEERS PLACED WITHIN THE PRIMARY FOCUS AREA OF HEALTHY FUTURES AND OTHER FOCUS AREAS, FOR A TOTAL OF 84 RSVP VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS PROJECT. THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIPS WE HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED AT 20 DIFFERENT STATIONS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WE WOULD LIKE TO MATCH RSVP VOLUNTEERS TO SERVICE ASSIGNMENTS THAT SUPPORT OLDER ADULTS RECEIVING FOOD, TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER SERVICES THAT ALLOW THEM TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY (MEASURE H8).
