GH16-006: CONDUCTING PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH IN KENYA

JPH CLINIC CONSTRUCTION - THIS PROJECT IS A NEW STAND-ALONE RURAL HEALTH CLINIC LOCATED ON AN APPROXIMATELY 2.8-ACRE PARCEL OWNED BY JACKSON PARISH HOSPITAL, DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE MAIN HOSPITAL AT 165 BEECH SPRINGS ROAD, JONESBORO, LA 71251, WITH ROAD FRONTAGE AT THE INTERSECTION OF U.S. HIGHWAY 167 AND BEECH SPRINGS ROAD. THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY JPH (NOT LEASED). WITH THE $4,000,000 FEDERAL EARMARK AND JACKSON PARISH HOSPITAL'S CONTRIBUTION TOWARD THE TOTAL PROJECT COST, JPH WILL CONSTRUCT A NEW TWO-STORY CLINIC OF APPROXIMATELY 19,384 SQUARE FEET WITH AN EMPHASIS ON WOMEN'S HEALTH. NO WOMEN'S HEALTH PROVIDERS OR SERVICES CURRENTLY EXIST IN JACKSON PARISH OR THE ADJACENT BIENVILLE PARISH, AND LOUISIANA AND JACKSON PARISH HAVE SOME OF THE POOREST WOMEN'S AND MATERNAL HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE NATION. PATIENTS CURRENTLY MUST TRAVEL AT LEAST 30 MILES (THE NEAREST ALTERNATIVE WOMEN'S CLINIC IS 26 MILES, A 31-MINUTE DRIVE) FOR THESE SERVICES. THE CLINIC WILL ALSO HOUSE ADDITIONAL FAMILY-PRACTICE AND SPECIALTY PROVIDERS OFFERING SERVICES NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE PARISH, PRIORITIZING UNDERSERVED, MEDICARE, AND MEDICAID PATIENTS. THE SCOPE OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES INCLUDES: CREATION OF A NEW STAND-ALONE STRUCTURE THAT INCREASES TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE; INSTALLATION OF PERMANENTLY AFFIXED (FIXED) EQUIPMENT; HVAC SYSTEMS INCLUDING CLIMATE CONTROL AND DUCT WORK; ELECTRICAL UPGRADES; PLUMBING; A CONVEYING SYSTEM (ELEVATOR, CONSISTENT WITH THE TWO-STORY DESIGN); AND ASSOCIATED SITE WORK INCLUDING PARKING AND SITE LIGHTING.

SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE TO AVIAN AND PANDEMIC INFLUENZA AND NON-INFLUENZA RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS IN KENYA - INFLUENZA VIRUSES CIRCULATE ANNUALLY, CONSTANTLY UNDERGOING MUTATIONS, WHICH MAY LEAD TO ANTIGENIC DRIFT RENDERING EXISTING THERAPEUTIC AND PREVENTIVE MEDICAL COUNTERMEASURES INEFFECTIVE. INFLUENZA CIRCULATES YEAR-ROUND IN KENYA AND HAS BEEN DETECTED IN HUMANS, POULTRY, AND SWINE. ALTHOUGH HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA (HPAI) HAS NOT BEEN DETECTED, KENYA IS HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE BECAUSE OF ITS POSITION ALONG MIGRATORY BIRD ROUTES AND PROXIMITY TO OTHER HIGH-RISK COUNTRIES. IN 2007, THE KENYA MINISTRY OF HEALTH (MOH), WITH TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM CDC AND THE KENYA MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (KEMRI), ESTABLISHED A NATIONAL INFLUENZA SENTINEL SURVEILLANCE (ISS) SYSTEM. THE ISS HAS ENABLED KENYA TO DOCUMENT THE BURDEN OF INFLUENZA-ASSOCIATED ILLNESS, CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL BURDEN ESTIMATES, INFLUENCE POLICY, MONITOR CHANGES IN CIRCULATING VIRUSES, AND CONTRIBUTE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND VIROLOGIC DATA TO WHO GISRS AND SPECIMENS TO THE WHO COLLABORATING CENTER AT CDC. EVEN WITH THE ABOVE SUCCESS, DATA AND SPECIMEN SHARING HAVE HAD CHALLENGES DUE TO LAG IN TESTING/SHIPPING, OTHER COMPETING NATIONAL TESTING PRIORITIES, AND TESTING SUPPLY STOCK-OUTS. IN ADDITION, DATA ARE GENERALLY NOT USED AT THE SUBNATIONAL LEVEL TO INFLUENCE PRIORITY SETTING OR BUDGET ALLOCATIONS TO ENSURE THE GREATEST IMPACT IN KENYA. THE ISS, THE BACKBONE OF MOH SURVEILLANCE, IS ALSO NOT UTILIZED ROUTINELY FOR SURVEILLANCE OF NON-INFLUENZA RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS WITH PANDEMIC POTENTIAL AND/OR WITH CAPACITY TO CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY ILLNESS. THOUGH IT HAS BEEN LEVERAGED AT TIMES TO DETECT AND RESPOND TO DISEASE OUTBREAKS, INCLUDING NON-INFLUENZA VIRUSES AND BACTERIAL PATHOGENS, LACK OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE ISS BEYOND ROUTINE INFLUENZA SURVEILLANCE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A SUB-OPTIMIZED PLATFORM TO SERVE AS AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR DISEASE OUTBREAKS. IN ADDITION, RECENT EXPERIENCE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IDENTIFIED OTHER WEAKNESS IN THE GOVERNMENT OF KENYA’S (GOK) ABILITY TO EXECUTE A STRONG OUTBREAK RESPONSE TO INCLUDE LIMITED HUMAN AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND POOR COORDINATION WITHIN/AND AMONG KEY MINISTRIES DUE TO LACK OF A PANDEMIC-PREPAREDNESS FRAMEWORK. TO RESPOND TO THESE CHALLENGES, HJF MEDICAL RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL, INC. (HJFMRI), THE MOH’S BONA FIDE AGENT FOR THIS SUBMISSION, HAS ASSEMBLED AN OUTSTANDING TEAM THAT INCLUDES THE MOH DISEASE SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE UNIT, MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE LIVESTOCK AND FISHERIES (MALF), THE ZOONOTIC DISEASES UNIT, KEMRI, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI (UON). WE WILL BUILD THE CAPACITY OF, AND PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO, MOH AND MALF THROUGH OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM, WHICH INCLUDES: HJFMRI PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENTISTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE/PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL; AND KEMRI AND UON VIROLOGISTS, EPIDEMIOLOGISTS, STATISTICIANS/DATA MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, AND MONITORING AND EVALUATION EXPERTS. WE WILL WORK WITH THE MOH AND CDC TO EXPAND ISS TO INCLUDE EVENT-BASED SURVEILLANCE AND TO: (A) BETTER COLLECT, MAKE USE OF, AND SHARE SURVEILLANCE DATA SUB NATIONALLY, NATIONALLY AND GLOBALLY, AND CAPTURE MORE DATA ON VULNERABLE POPULATIONS; (B) MONITOR CHANGES IN CIRCULATING INFLUENZA VIRUSES AND RESPOND TO HIGHLY PATHOGENIC VARIANTS TRANSMISSIBLE TO HUMANS; (C) ROUTINELY COLLECT DATA ON ZOONOTIC INFLUENZA; (D) RAPIDLY DETECT, CHARACTERIZE, AND MONITOR CHANGES IN NON-INFLUENZA VIRAL AND BACTERIAL RESPIRATORY AND VACCINE-PREVENTABLE PATHOGENS; (E) RESPOND TO OUTBREAKS OF SEVERE RESPIRATORY ILLNESS; AND (F) IMPROVE THE GOK RESPONSE TO POTENTIAL INFECTIOUS DISEASE OUTBREAKS BY ESTABLISHING/OPERATIONALIZING A PANDEMIC-PREPAREDNESS PLAN AND IMPROVING MOH/MALF ONE HEALTH COORDINATION. BY THE END OF THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD WE WILL HAVE STRENGTHENED KENYA’S TECHNICAL, OPERATIONAL, AND INFRASTRUCTURAL CAPACITIES TO PROMPTLY DETECT, REPORT, MONITOR CHANGES IN, AND RESPOND TO INFLUENZA, INCLUDING AVIAN AND PANDEMIC INFLUENZA, AND

WITH OVER 4.5 MILLION INDIVIDUALS HAVING A GEORGIA CRIMINAL RECORD, AND 1 IN 24 GEORGIANS CURRENTLY UNDER CORRECTIONAL CONTROL (JAIL, PRISON, PROBATION, AND PAROLE) COMPARED TO 1 IN 60 NATIONALLY, MANY INDIVIDUALS ENCOUNTER BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, AND HOUSING, DECREASING CHANCES FOR STABILITY. TO RESPOND TO THIS OVERWHELMING NEED, GJP WILL MAINTAIN AND OPERATE SECOND CHANCE DESKS IN COBB COUNTY, ATHENS-CLARKE & OCONEE COUNTIES AND THE AUGUSTA JUDICIAL CIRCUIT AND ANNUALLY PROVIDE CRIMINAL RECORD CONSULTATION AND CLEARING SERVICES FOR APPROXIMATELY 600 LOW- TO MODERATE-INCOME GEORGIA RESIDENTS FACING BARRIERS FROM A NO LONGER RELEVANT CRIMINAL HISTORY. THE PRIMARY BENEFIT OF OPENING SECOND CHANCE DESKS IS HAVING A COMMUNITY-BASED RESOURCE THAT INCREASES THE VOLUME OF CASES HANDLED BY ESTABLISHING A STREAMLINED PROCESS WITH LOCAL PARTNERS, ALLOWING MORE PEOPLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF POSITIVE CHANGES IN GEORGIAS EXPUNGEMENT LAWS. GJP HAS THE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE, STAFF FUNCTIONS, AND SUPPORTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT ALL ASPECTS OF OUR SECOND CHANCE DESK EFFORTS ACROSS THE STATE. GJP'S CRIMINAL RECORDS LEGAL TEAM IS MADE UP OF A LEGAL DIRECTOR, 4 FULL-TIME ATTORNEYS DEDICATED TO RECORD CLEARING, AND 3 ATTORNEYS TO ASSIST WITH VOLUNTEER EFFORTS. COMBINED, EACH ATTORNEY HAS AN AVERAGE OF 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN CRIMINAL LAW AND ALL ARE MEMBERS OF THE GEORGIA BAR. GJP'S ATTORNEYS AND SOCIAL WORKERS ARE SUPPORTED BY A 7-PERSON INTAKE AND LEGAL SUPPORT TEAM WHO FIELD REQUESTS FOR SERVICES, PREPARE FILES, FOLLOW UP WITH CLIENTS, PREPARE DRAFT ORDERS, AND MAINTAIN UPDATED RECORDS. GJP EMPLOYS A PART-TIME ACCOUNTANT AND COMPTROLLER AND CONTRACTS WITH AN IT COMPANY TO OVERSEE OUR SOFT- AND HARDWARE NEEDS. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS GRANT, OUR GOALS ARE AS FOLLOWS. GJP WILL CONTINUE TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COBB COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND SOLICITOR TO PROMOTE THE PROGRAM, REGISTER APPLICANTS, AND COMPLETE THE RECORD RESTRICTION AND SEALING PROCESS. ANNUALLY, THE COBB SECOND CHANCE DESK WILL SERVE 300-325 INDIVIDUALS FACING BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES DUE TO A CRIMINAL HISTORY. GJP WILL WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERS TO OPERATE A MONTHLY SECOND CHANCE DESK FOR ATHENS-CLARKE AND OCONEE COUNTY RESIDENTS. ANNUALLY, THE DESK WILL ASSIST 120-150 INDIVIDUALS BY CLEARING 180-200 ELIGIBLE RECORDS FOR RESIDENTS. GJP WILL WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERS TO OPERATE A MONTHLY SECOND CHANCE DESK FOR AUGUSTA AREA RESIDENTS AND WILL ASSIST 120-150 INDIVIDUALS BY CLEARING 180-200 ELIGIBLE RECORDS FOR RESIDENTS OF RICHMOND AND BURKE COUNTIES.

THE PURPOSE OF THE COPS OFFICE SCHOOL VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAM (SVPP) IS TO IMPROVE SECURITY AT SCHOOLS AND ON SCHOOL GROUNDS THROUGH SCHOOL SAFETY PROGRAMS AND TECHNOLOGY.
