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

MAINTAINING A PORTFOLIO OF NOVEL, CLINIC-READY THERAPEUTICS ARE CRITICAL FOR OUR FUTURE PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS. THE AI-DRIVEN STRUCTURE-ENABLED ANTIVIRAL PLATFORM (ASAP) AVIDD CENTER WILL DEVELOP NOVEL CHEMICAL ASSETS THAT HAVE ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY AGAINST THREE TARGET VIRAL FAMILIES. ASAP WILL LEVERAGE STATE-OF-THE-ART STRUCTURE-ENABLED TECHNOLOGIES CAPABLE OF LEVERAGING RECENT ADVANCES IN AI/ML AND COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY IN IDENTIFYING, ENABLING, AND PROSECUTING DISCOVERY CAMPAIGNS AGAINST NOVEL VIRAL TARGETS. ASAP IS BUILT ON PRINCIPLES OF OPEN SCIENCE AND RAPID DISSEMINATION (ENABLED BY A DEDICATED DATA INFRASTRUCTURE CORE). ASAP BUILDS ON THE SUCCESSFUL COVID MOONSHOT, AN OPEN SCIENCE COLLABORATION THAT RECENTLY SECURED $11 MILLION FROM THE WELLCOME TRUST VIA THE WHO ACCESS TO COVID TOOLS ACCELERATOR (ACT-A) TO FUND PRECLINICAL DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL ORAL NONCOVALENT SARS-COV-2 ANTIVIRAL ACTING AGAINST THE MAIN PROTEASE (MPRO). BEGINNING WITH A HIGH-THROUGHPUT X-RAY FRAGMENT SCREEN, THE DISCOVERY TEAM SPENT JUST 18 MONTHS AND $1M TO REACH THE PRECLINICAL PHASE. ASAP WILL MIRROR THIS RAPID, COST-EFFICIENT APPROACH: AUTOMATED STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY AT DIAMOND LIGHT SOURCE (FRANK VON DELFT); AI/ML SYNTHESIS MODELS FROM POSTERA (ALPHA LEE); NANOSCALE CHEMISTRY AND COVALENT FRAGMENT LIBRARIES FROM NIR LONDON; MASSIVELY DISTRIBUTED FREE ENERGY CALCULATIONS ON FOLDING@HOME (JOHN CHODERA); AN INDUSTRIAL MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY TEAM LED BY MEDCHEMICA (ED GRIFFEN); AND ANTIVIRAL ASSAYS AND VIROLOGY EXPERTISE AT MOUNT SINAI (KRIS WHITE; ADOLFO GARCIA-SASTRE). ASAP AUGMENTS THIS SEASONED ANTIVIRAL DISCOVERY TEAM WITH NEW APPROACHES TO RESISTANCE-ROBUST TARGETING (KARLA KIRKEGAARD AND MATT BOGYO, STANFORD) AND DEEP MUTATIONAL SCANNING (JESSE BLOOM, FRED HUTCH). ASAP IS SUPPORTED BY THE DRUGS FOR NEGLECTED DISEASES INITIATIVE (DNDI) (PI BEN PERRY), AND LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM TAKEDA, PFIZER, NOVARTIS, AND GRUPO INSUD. ASAP IMPACT: ASAP WILL BECOME THE NEXUS OF A ROBUST GLOBAL ANTIVIRAL DISCOVERY COMMUNITY.

ENABLING DISCOVERIES IN MULTISCALE EARTH SYSTEM DYNAMICS: SEISMOLOGICAL FACILITY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF GEOSCIENCE (SAGE) -THE IRIS (INCORPORATED RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS FOR SEISMOLOGY) CONSORTIUM WILL DEVELOP, OPERATE, AND MAINTAIN A DISTRIBUTED, MULTI-USER FACILITY ENTITLED SEISMOLOGICAL FACILITIES FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF GEOSCIENCE (SAGE). EXPERT PROFESSIONAL STAFF, WITH GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, WILL MANAGE AND OPERATE A SET OF FOUNDATIONAL CAPABILITIES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR CURRENT RESEARCH SUPPORT, AS WELL AS FRONTIER ACTIVITIES THAT WILL ENABLE FUTURE RESEARCH. THE FACILITY WILL PROMOTE ADVANCES IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF EARTH STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS, EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, AND INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE SOLID EARTH, HYDROSPHERE, AND ATMOSPHERE THROUGH MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF: 1) GLOBAL AND REGIONAL CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING SEISMIC NETWORKS, INCLUDING THE GLOBAL SEISMOGRAPHIC NETWORK; 2) PORTABLE GEOPHYSICAL INSTRUMENTATION FOR USE IN PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR DRIVEN AND COMMUNITY EXPERIMENTS; 3) DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR THE COLLECTION, QUALITY ASSURANCE, CURATION, MANAGEMENT, AND DISTRIBUTION OF OPEN ACCESS DATA AND DATA PRODUCTS; AND 4) EDUCATION, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO BE INCLUSIVE AND ENHANCE PARTICIPATION OF TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN THE GEOSCIENCES. THE SEISMOLOGICAL FACILITIES PROVIDED THROUGH THE SAGE CONTRIBUTE TO ISSUES OF NATIONAL/GLOBAL STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE, INCLUDING GEOHAZARD ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER RESILIENCE; ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT; NATIONAL SECURITY; AND STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS) EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. DATA AND DATA PRODUCTS FROM SAGE WILL BE USED BY STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION, NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, AND DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, FOR MISSION AGENCY ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING EARTHQUAKE MONITORING AND CHARACTERIZATION, TSUNAMI WARNING, WEATHER FORECASTING, WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, AND NUCLEAR TEST MONITORING. SAGE PROGRAMS WILL ALSO SUPPORT INQUIRY-BASED SCIENCE EDUCATION, ENHANCING STUDENTS' ABILITIES TO ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE, AND ENABLING THEM TO PURSUE STEM CAREERS IN ACADEMIA, INDUSTRY, BUSINESS, AND GOVERNMENT. THE SAGE OUTREACH ACTIVITIES PROMOTE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND SCIENCE LITERACY. THE SAGE FACILITY PROVIDES INSTRUMENTATION SERVICES; DATA SERVICES; AND EDUCATION, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF SEISMOLOGY. RESEARCHERS USE SAGE TO GAIN VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO FUNDAMENTAL EARTH PROCESSES, AND SAGE ALSO PROVIDES KEY DATA FOR NATIONAL SECURITY NEEDS, INCLUDING MONITORING EFFORTS OF CLANDESTINE NUCLEAR TESTS. THE SCIENTIFIC PRIORITIES OF THE NEW FACILITY WOULD ENABLE ADVANCES IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: (1) GLOBAL EARTH STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS: THE FACILITY WOULD ENHANCE OUR ABILITY TO RESOLVE THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE EARTH'S INTERIOR AND ENABLE INVESTIGATORS TO STUDY PROCESSES THAT DRIVE PLATE TECTONICS AND NATURAL HAZARDS SUCH AS EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMIS, AND VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. (2) FAULT ZONES AND THE EARTHQUAKE CYCLE: OVER THE LAST DECADE, SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED A BROAD ARRAY OF FAULT ZONE SLIP BEHAVIORS THAT SPAN A WIDE VARIETY OF TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL SCALES. THE SAGE FACILITY WILL ENABLE A VARIETY OF SEISMIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS TO ELUCIDATE HOW THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BEHAVIORS START AND STOP, VARY ALONG FAULT ZONES, AND INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER. (3) MAGMAS AND VOLATILES IN THE CRUST AND MANTLE: GEOPHYSICAL INSTRUMENTATION IS CRITICAL FOR UNDERSTANDING VOLCANIC SYSTEMS AND MINIMIZING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH VOLCANIC HAZARDS. THE CAPABILITIES PROVIDED BY SAGE WILL ENABLE RESEARCHERS TO STUDY MELT PRODUCTION, MONITOR ITS TRANSPORT THROUGH THE CRUST, AND MAP OUT THE PLUMBING SYSTEMS OF VOLCANOES. (4) HYDROSPHERE, CRYOSPHERE, AND ATMOSPHERE: AN AREA OF INCREASING COMMUNITY INTEREST IS UTILIZING GEOPHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS TO STUDY PROCESSES AT THE EARTH'S SURFACE. THE SAGE FACILITY WILL PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDY PROCESSES IN THE NEAR-SURFACE, SUCH AS HYDROLOGY, CRYOSPHERIC PROCESSES, AND GLACIER DYNAMICS. (5) EDUCATION, PUBLIC OUTREACH, AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: SAGE WILL DEVELOP A VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND ENABLE HUNDREDS OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES. A MAJOR FOCUS OF THE SAGE ACTIVITIES WILL BE ON BROADENING PARTICIPATION OF UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS THROUGH IRIS' NEW URBAN GEOSYSTEMS FOCUS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FACILITY WILL DEVELOP ANIMATIONS, SIMULATIONS, AND OTHER VISUALIZATIONS OF EARTH PROCESSES TO HELP INSTRUCTORS AT ALL LEVEL TEACH ABOUT EARTH SCIENCE. 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.

CENTER FOR ANTIVIRAL MEDICINES & PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS (CAMPP) - SUMMARY THE ONGOING COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS BROUGHT TO LIGHT AN URGENT NEED TO ENHANCE THE THERAPEUTIC PREPAREDNESS FOR FUTURE VIRAL OUTBREAKS AND PANDEMICS. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THE “CENTER FOR ANTIVIRAL MEDICINES & PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS” (CAMPP) IS THUS TO DEVELOP NOVEL STRATEGIES AND ENHANCE THE DRUG DISCOVERY PIPELINES FOR DIRECT-ACTING ANTIVIRALS AGAINST RNA VIRUSES OF PANDEMIC CONCERN. THE SPECIFIC FOCUS OF CAMPP WILL BE TO DEVELOP ANTIVIRALS AGAINST CORONAVIRUSES SARS-COV-2 (SCV2), SARS AND MERS; FLAVIVIRUSES INCLUDING ZIKA, WEST NILE AND DENGUE VIRUS; AND HEMORRHAGIC FEVER VIRUSES INCLUDING THE FILOVIRUS EBOLA, AND BUNYAVIRUSES SEVERE FEVER WITH THROMBOCYTOPENIA SYNDROME VIRUS AND LASSA VIRUS. INFECTION BY ANY OF THESE AGENTS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SEVERE HUMAN DISEASE WITH SIGNIFICANT MORTALITY RATES AND CURRENT OPTIONS FOR ANTIVIRAL TREATMENTS ARE LIMITED. THE ANTIVIRAL DRUG REMDESIVIR AND SEVERAL MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY TREATMENTS HAVE RECEIVED EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) FOR TREATMENT OF COVID-19, AND THE POLYMERASE INHIBITOR MOLNUPIRAVIR BY MERCK IS EXPECTED TO BE GRANTED EUA IN THE NEAR FUTURE. MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO TREAT EBOLA VIRUS INFECTION, HOWEVER, NONE OF THESE DRUGS CAN BE ADMINISTERED ORALLY, POSING ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES IN TREATING EARLY INFECTION. THERE ARE NO APPROVED TREATMENTS FOR THE CAMPP FLAVIVIRUSES AND HEMORRHAGIC FEVER VIRUSES. TOWARD THIS END, WE HAVE ASSEMBLED A WORLD CLASS MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF INVESTIGATORS WITH EXPERTISE IN VIROLOGY OF RELEVANT VIRUSES, STRUCTURAL AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, CHEMOPROTEOMICS, PHARMACOLOGY AND ORGANOID/ANIMAL MODELS, WHO WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE DRUG DEVELOPMENT EXPERTS AT THE DRUG DISCOVERY DIVISION OF THE SCRIPPS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, CALIBR, TO FURTHER THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR MAJOR CLASSES OF PROMISING ASSETS IN OUR DRUG DISCOVERY PIPELINE. FIRST, WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A POTENTIALLY BEST-IN-CLASS, ORALLY BIOAVAILABLE CORONAVIRUS PROTEASE (CLPRO) INHIBITOR FOR CORONAVIRUSES INCLUDING SCV2, FROM A LATE-STAGE DRUG ASSET UNDERGOING ADME OPTIMIZATION THAT IS EXPECTED TO ENTER IND-ENABLING STUDIES WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. SECOND, WE WILL IDENTIFY AND OPTIMIZE RNA POLYMERASE INHIBITORS FOR SCV2 AND OTHER CAMPP VIRUSES, WITH THE GOAL OF REACHING IND-ENABLING STUDIES WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. THE THIRD FOCUS OF OUR PROPOSAL IS TO DEVELOP ANTIVIRALS AGAINST OTHER ‘DRUGGABLE’ PROTEINS ENCODED BY SCV2 AND ADDITIONAL VIRUSES POSING A PANDEMIC THREAT; THESE ASSETS INCLUDE INHIBITORS OF SCV2 HELICASE, E-PROTEIN ENCODED ION CHANNEL ACTIVITY, ENTRY AND FUSION ACTIVITIES, AND NUCLEOCAPSID, WITH THE GOAL OF OBTAINING IN VIVO PROOF-OF-CONCEPT FOR A SUBSET OF THESE MID-STAGE ASSETS. FINALLY, WE PROPOSE TO TARGET TRADITIONALLY CONSIDERED ‘UNDRUGGABLE’ NON-ENZYMATIC PROTEINS INCLUDING SCV2 AND FLAVIVIRAL STRUCTURAL PROTEINS AS WELL AS RNA STRUCTURE, TO DEVELOP NOVEL STRATEGIES FOR ANTIVIRAL DRUG DEVELOPMENT. CAMPP PROVIDES A HIGHLY INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE OF INVESTIGATORS, EXPERTISE AND EXTERNAL PHARMACEUTICAL AND FOUNDING PARTNERS THAT WILL ENSURE THE CENTER’S SUCCESS IN ACHIEVING OUR GOALS AND NAVIGATING CHALLENGES OF THE DRUG DISCOVERY PROCESS.

U.S. ATLAS OPERATIONS: DISCOVERY AND MEASUREMENT AT THE ENERGY FRONTIER -RESEARCHERS IN HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS SEEK TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTAL NATURE OF MATTER AND THE BASIC FORCES THROUGH WHICH IT INTERACTS. ONE WAY THEY DO THIS IS BY OBSERVING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COUNTER-ROTATING BEAMS OF PROTONS COLLIDE. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEBRIS PRODUCED IN THE COLLISIONS CAN REVEAL THE BASIC PHYSICS OF FUNDAMENTAL PARTICLES AND THE FORCES BETWEEN THEM. HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED PARTICLE DETECTORS AND ANALYSIS METHODS ARE REQUIRED TO MEASURE THESE CHARACTERISTICS. NSF PROVIDES FUNDING TO U.S. RESEARCHERS TO CONDUCT RESEARCH IN EXPERIMENTAL HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS USING THE ATLAS DETECTOR AT THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER (LHC), THE WORLD?S PREMIER LABORATORY FOR THIS RESEARCH. IN ADDITION TO DIRECTLY SUPPORTING RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, NSF WILL PROVIDE, VIA THIS AWARD, FUNDING TO TWENTY-TWO U.S. UNIVERSITIES TO MAINTAIN THE OPERATION OF U.S.-SUPPLIED COMPONENTS OF THE ATLAS DETECTOR AND ITS SUPPORTING SOFTWARE AND COMPUTING SYSTEMS, DEVELOP NEW SOFTWARE TOOLS, AND INSTALL AND COMMISSION DETECTOR ENHANCEMENTS IN PREPARATION FOR MORE INTENSE OPERATION PLANNED TO COMMENCE IN 2027. THIS AWARD WILL ALSO PROMOTE SCIENCE EDUCATION AND PROMOTE DIVERSE PARTICIPATION IN RESEARCH. THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER IS LOCATED AT THE EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH (CERN) NEAR GENEVA SWITZERLAND. U.S. PARTICIPATION IN ATLAS WILL STIMULATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICALLY EDUCATED WORKFORCE, ADVANCING THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY, AND THE POPULARIZATION AND DISSEMINATION OF SCIENCE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE AWARD WILL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES THAT PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN COMPLEX DETECTOR APPARATUS, CUSTOM ANALOG AND DIGITAL ELECTRONICS AND SOFTWARE SYSTEMS FOR DATA MANAGEMENT, AND TO SUPPORT DATA PROCESSING AND TECHNICAL ANALYSES OF DETECTOR SYSTEMS. TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS ARE REQUIRED TO PERFORM MANY OF THESE TASKS, INCREASING THE EXPERTISE OF THE U.S. WORK FORCE. THE OPERATION OF EXISTING DETECTOR COMPONENTS, DESIGN OF UPGRADE COMPONENTS, AND RELATED RESEARCH ACTIVITIES CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION AMONG UNIVERSITY PHYSICS PERSONNEL, UNIVERSITY PERSONNEL IN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS, AND PHYSICS DEPARTMENT TECHNICAL PERSONNEL AS PHYSICISTS, ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS, MECHANICAL ENGINEERS AND COMPUTER SCIENTISTS WORK WITH POST-DOCS AND STUDENTS. SIMILARLY, PHYSICS PERSONNEL WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH COMPUTING PROFESSIONALS AT THEIR HOME INSTITUTIONS AND AT NATIONAL LABORATORIES TO SUPPORT THE VARIOUS SOFTWARE AND COMPUTING ACTIVITIES. TECHNICAL PART: THIS AWARD SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF THE INSTRUMENTATION AND ANALYSIS TOOLS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO STUDYING DEBRIS FROM PROTON-PROTON COLLISIONS. THESE TOOLS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR ANSWERING BASIC, FOUNDATIONAL QUESTIONS, SUCH AS ?WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF MASS OF THE ELEMENTARY PARTICLES?? THE HIGGS BOSON DISCOVERY, A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF THE MECHANISM THAT GENERATES ELEMENTARY PARTICLE MASSES, LED TO THE 2013 PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE THAT WAS AWARDED TO PETER HIGGS AND FRANCOIS ENGLERT. IS THAT THE END OF THE STORY, OR ARE THERE OTHER, AS-OF-YET UNDISCOVERED, CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS PROCESS? OTHER FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS, EQUALLY IMPORTANT, MAY HAVE ANSWERS THAT DEPEND, AT LEAST IN PART, ON THE PHYSICS OBSERVED THROUGH THE CONTINUED OPERATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA OBTAINED FROM THE LHC. ?WHAT IS THE DARK MATTER THAT ACCOUNTS FOR 25% OF THE MASS OF THE UNIVERSE? CAN DARK MATTER BE PRODUCED AND OBSERVED AT THE LHC? CAN EVIDENCE OF EXTRA DIMENSIONS PREDICTED IN SOME MODELS BE FOUND AT LHC ENERGIES? ARE THERE PARTICLES WITH EXOTIC PROPERTIES, UNLIKE ANY FORMS OF MATTER OBSERVED SO FAR, WHOSE EXISTENCE IS PREDICTED BY SOME THEORIES THAT EXTEND THE STANDARD MODEL OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES?? IN EACH CASE, ANSWERING THE QUESTION REQUIRES THE AGGREGATION OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF DATA FROM WHICH TO DRAW MEANINGFUL STATISTICAL INFERENCES. THIS AWARD WILL ENABLE RESEARCHERS TO DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF DATA COLLECTED FOR ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATIONS OF THESE PHENOMENA. IT WILL ENABLE PREPARATIONS THAT WILL LEAD TO FUTURE COLLECTION OF ABOUT TEN TIMES THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE DATA. 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.
