ANDRÉ HEALTH CARE - AIR QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENHANCEMENTS FOR IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ELDERS AND CAREGIVERS ST. ANDRÉ HEALTH CARE IS A 96-BED FACILITY OFFERING TRUSTED AND COMPREHENSIVE CARE TO SOME OF THE AREA’S MOST VULNERABLE ELDERS. IT IS ALSO THE ONLY VETERANS AFFAIRS CONTRACTED FACILITY IN YORK COUNTY, MAINE. FOR THOSE THAT CALL ST. ANDRÉ HOME, IT IS VITAL THAT THEIR ENVIRONMENT BE AS SAFE AND COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE. CURRENTLY, ST. ANDRÉ HAS A CHILLER THAT CIRCULATES AIR INTO THE FACILITY’S HALLWAYS, BUT ITS COOLING EFFECTS DO NOT EXTEND INTO THE INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT ROOMS. IN ADDITION, OTHER AREAS OF THE BUILDING INCLUDING SEVERAL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AND A LARGE COMMUNITY ROOM DO NOT COOL OFF CONSISTENTLY OR EFFICIENTLY. A FEDERAL APPROPRIATION WILL ALLOW FOR THE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF A VARIABLE REFRIGERANT FLOW (VRF) HEAT PUMP SYSTEM TO SERVE PATIENT AND STAFF AREAS OF ST. ANDRÉ HEALTH CARE. THE VRF CAN PROVIDE SIMULTANEOUS HEATING AND COOLING TO MULTIPLE ZONES, ALLOWING FOR INDIVIDUAL CONTROL IN EACH PATIENT ROOM, OFFICES AND MULTI-PURPOSE AREAS. THIS PROPOSED EQUIPMENT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE AIR QUALITY FOR ALL THAT LIVE, WORK OR VISIT THE FACILITY. THERE ARE SEVERAL KEY BENEFITS TO INSTALLING A VRF AT ST. ANDRÉ HEALTH CARE: • AS IT IMPROVES IAQ FOR ALL, THE VRF WILL INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCIES WHILE REDUCING USAGE COSTS AND NOISE. AS THE SYSTEM RELIES ON MINIMAL DUCTWORK AND PHYSICAL DISRUPTION, IT CAN EASILY BE RETROFIT TO AN EXISTING BUILDING STRUCTURE. IN THIS WAY, IS AN IDEAL SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED IN A RESIDENTIAL HOME FOR ELDERS. • THE VRF SYSTEM WILL REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF INFECTION AND DISEASE AND PRODUCE HIGHER INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND OFFER ELDERS THE ABILITY TO SET INDIVIDUAL TEM PERATURE SETTINGS, ADDING A LAYER OF PERSONAL CONTROL. • WITH WINDOWS NOT BLOCKED BY INDIVIDUAL UNITS, RESIDENTS WILL HAVE MORE ACCESS TO SEE NATURE MORE EASILY (A PROVEN BENEFIT TO THE ELDERLY). IN ADDITION, THE WINDOWS REMAIN FREE TO BE USED IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. • STAFF LABOR WILL REDUCE WITH THE ELIMINATION OF MAINTENANCE AND THE INSTALLATION/REMOVAL OF 75 WINDOW UNITS TWO TIMES EACH YEAR. STORAGE SPACE FOR THE UNITS INSIDE THE FACILITY WILL ALSO NO LONGER BE REQUIRED.

FY 2021 ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC - PRIMARY CARE HIV PREVENTION - PROJECT ABSTRACT THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) ESTIMATES MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION ADULTS AND ADOLESCENTS ARE LIVING WITH THE HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV) IN THE UNITED STATES AND 18% OF PERSONS LIVING WITH HIV ARE NOT AWARE OF THEIR STATUS. THE EPIDEMIC CONTINUES TO HAVE A DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITY POPULATIONS – PARTICULARLY AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS – AND ON MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM) AND INJECTION DRUG USERS (IDUS), REGARDLESS OF RACE OR ETHNICITY. WHEN THE EPIDEMIC APPEARED IN 1981, AIDS WAS PERCEIVED AS A DEADLY DISEASE THAT WAS TRANSMISSIBLE FROM PERSON TO PERSON, AS WELL AS STRONGLY ASSOCIATED WITH HISTORICALLY DISENFRANCHISED GROUPS AND CULTURALLY AND HISTORICALLY TABOO ISSUES SUCH AS SEXUAL ORIENTATION, DRUG USE, AND COMMERCIAL SEX WORK. THE COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS LED TO SOCIETAL HOSTILITY AS WELL AS SLOW RESPONSE BY STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS. ALTHOUGH BOTH KNOWLEDGE OF HIV/AIDS AND GOVERNMENT RESPONSES HAVE INCREASED, THE STIGMA PERSISTS MORE THAN 30 YEARS LATER. COVENANT HOUSE INCORPORATED PROPOSES TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN COUNSELED AND ASSESSED FOR HIV, PRESCRIBED PREP, AND LINKED TO HIV CARE AND TREATMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DIAGNOSIS. THIS COMMUNITY INTERVENTION WILL ALSO SERVE TO DESTIGMATIZE HIV TESTING AND REVITALIZE THE DISCOURSE ABOUT HIV WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY. CHI FIGHTS HIV PROJECT WILL CONSIST OF A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM WHICH WILL BE LED BY AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE PROVIDER. THE TEAM WILL CONSIST OF A MEDICAL ASSISTANT, SOCIAL WORKER, CASE MANAGER, MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER, NUTRITIONIST, DENTIST, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER PROVIDER, PHARMACIST AND DRIVER. CHI FIGHTS HIV PROJECT WILL USE GRANT FUNDING TO ENHANCE OUR PRIMARY CARE CAPABILITIES WITH THE ADDITION OF A HOLISTIC INFECTIOUS DISEASE TEAM. THE TEAM WILL SERVE AS THE CORE OF OUR INITIATIVE TO INCREASE HIV TESTING, PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS, AND TREATMENT OF HIV PATIENTS IN THE NORTHWEST CORRIDOR OF PHILADELPHIA. THE CHI FIGHTS HIV TEAM WILL LINK HIV PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITH SERVICES NEEDED TO IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES TO INCLUDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, ORAL HEALTH, AND NUTRITION. A HIGH COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT WILL BE THE ROLE OF THE SOCIAL WORKER AND CASE MANAGER. THE ROLES OF THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS WILL INCLUDE ENSURING ALL NECESSARY NEEDS OF HIV PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE ADDRESSED (I.E., HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING, ETC.). TO INCREASE TESTING, OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WILL SERVE AS OUR OUTREACH TEAM TO INTERACT WITH RESIDENTS WITHIN THEIR HOMES. CHI HAS BEEN A TRUSTED MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY FOR OVER 57 YEARS AND WILL BUILD ON EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS TO ADDRESS BARRIERS THAT PREVENT RESIDENTS FROM SEEKING CARE EARLY.

THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE (GNOHTTF) WILL EXPAND OPERATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS, IMPLEMENT A SUSTAINABILITY PLAN, AND ASSIST THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE (OJP) IN BUILDING CAPACITY IN THE FIELD. THE LEAD LAW ENFORCEMENT APPLICANT, ORLEANS PARISH DISTRICT ATTORNEY (OPDA), AND THE LEAD VICTIM SERVICE PROVIDER APPLICANT, COVENANT HOUSE NEW ORLEANS (CHNO), ARE CO- ADMINISTERING THE PROJECT FOR THE THREE-YEAR PERIOD. OPDA IS REQUESTING $750,000 AND CHNO IS REQUESTING $750,000 FOR A COMBINED ASK OF $1.5 MILLION. OPDA AND CHNO WILL COLLABORATE WITH THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (FBI), HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS (HSI) AND UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA (USAO) AS MEMBERS OF THE GNOHTTF CORE TEAM. THE GNOHTTF MISSION IS TO COMBAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING THROUGH SEAMLESS VICTIM-CENTERED COLLABORATION BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT COLLABORATE WITH GNOHTTF ARE LOCATED IN JEFFERSON AND ORLEANS (COTERMINOUS WITH THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS) PARISHES, WHICH ACCEPT CLIENT REFERRALS FROM SURROUNDING PARISHES IN THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS METROPOLITAN AREA (PLAQUEMINES, ST. BERNARD, ST. CHARLES, ST. JAMES, ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST AND ST. TAMMANY). THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 386 TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATIONS REPORTED TO OJP FOR THE FY2018 ECM GRANT CYCLE, AND A TOTAL OF 34 PROSECUTIONS. THE NUMBER OF VICTIMS SERVED BY CHNO AND THE FUNDED PARTNERS IS AN AGGREGATE OF 319 VICTIMS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AS REPORTED TO THE OFFICE FOR VICTIMS OF CRIMES. VICTIM SERVICE PROVIDERS REPORTED THAT 11% OF THE TOTAL OPEN CLIENT CASES SERVED WERE EXCLUSIVELY LABOR TRAFFICKING VICTIMS DURING THIS CURRENT GRANT FUNDING CYCLE, WHICH IS A 112% INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS GRANT FUNDING CYCLE.

GENOME-WIDE CHARACTERIZATION OF COMPLEX VARIANTS AND THEIR PHENOTYPIC EFFECTS IN AFRICAN POPULATIONS - PROJECT SUMMARY ADVANCES IN OMICS TECHNOLOGY HAVE THE POWER TO PROVIDE INTEGRATIVE MODELS OF DISEASE RISK AND INFLUENCE HEALTH OUTCOMES. HOWEVER, THE UTILITY OF THESE MODELS HAS SO FAR BEEN LIMITED TO NON-AFRICAN POPULATIONS, DUE TO BIASES IN AVAILABLE DATASETS. FURTHER, EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY MEDICALLY RELEVANT GENETIC VARIANTS HAVE INCLUDED ONLY A SUBSET OF KNOWN GENETIC VARIANTS AND HAVE HAD LIMITED FOCUS ON PHENOTYPES MOST RELEVANT TO AFRICA. NEWLY AVAILABLE GENOMIC DATASETS FROM THE AFRICAN CONTINENT PROVIDE A RICH OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN ADDRESSING THIS GAP. MOST LARGE GENOMICS EFFORTS IN BOTH AFRICANS AND NON-AFRICANS HAVE FOCUSED ON SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS (SNPS), EXCLUDING A LARGE FRACTION OF MORE COMPLEX AND ANCESTRY-SPECIFIC VARIANT TYPES SUCH AS GENOMIC REPEATS. HERE, WE CONSIDER MULTIPLE COMPLEX VARIANT TYPES, FOCUSING ON TANDEM REPEATS (TRS). TRS ARE WELL KNOWN TO CONTRIBUTE TO HUMAN DISEASE. FOR EXAMPLE, LARGE REPEAT EXPANSIONS ARE IMPLICATED IN HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE AND OTHER DISORDERS, AND STEPWISE VARIATION IN REPEAT COPY NUMBER AT TRS HAS BEEN IMPLICATED IN A VARIETY OF COMPLEX TRAITS. ALTHOUGH THEIR ROLE IN HUMAN PHENOTYPES IS WELL ESTABLISHED, DISCOVERY EFFORTS IN REPEAT REGIONS HAVE BEEN LARGELY LIMITED TO DATASETS AND PHENOTYPES DOMINATED BY NON-AFRICANS. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT DETAILED ANALYSIS OF REPEAT VARIANTS IN AFRICA WILL IDENTIFY NOVEL DISEASE-ASSOCIATED LOCI INCLUDING PATHOGENIC REPEAT EXPANSIONS, AS WELL AS IMPROVE THE UTILITY OF RISK PREDICTION MODELS, ULTIMATELY LEADING TO IMPROVED DIAGNOSIS AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. OUR PROPOSAL LEVERAGES EXISTING AND NOVEL DATA ANALYSIS APPROACHES TO INTERROGATE TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING REPETITIVE REGIONS AND INTEGRATES DIVERSE GENOMICS DATASETS FROM ACROSS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT INCLUDING (1) WHOLE GENOME-SEQUENCING (WGS) FROM MORE THAN 1,000 INDIVIDUALS, (2) SNP ARRAY DATA FROM MORE THAN 10,000 INDIVIDUALS, AND (3) HEALTH OUTCOME INFORMATION RELATED TO TRYPANOSOMIASIS, HIV STATUS, CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, CANCER RISK, AND CARDIOMETABOLIC TRAITS WITH HIGH PREVALENCE IN AFRICAN POPULATIONS. WE WILL FURTHER INCORPORATE EXISTING BIOBANKS CONTAINING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DIVERSE GENOMES (ADMIXED AFRICANS FROM ALL OF US AND UK BIOBANK) TO VALIDATE FINDINGS AND IMPROVE POWER. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN AFRICA USING INNOVATIVE DATA ANALYSIS AND MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES. SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL CHARACTERIZE GENOME-WIDE TR VARIATION IN AFRICAN INDIVIDUALS (AIM 1), IDENTIFY SIGNALS OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SELECTION AT THESE REGIONS (AIM 2), AND IDENTIFY TRS ASSOCIATED WITH MEDICALLY RELEVANT PHENOTYPES AND GENERATE IMPROVED ANCESTRY SPECIFIC POLYGENIC RISK SCORES (AIM 3). WE BRING TOGETHER A DIVERSE TEAM SPANNING AFRICA (HEADED BY MPIS ADEBIYI AND JJINGO) AND THE US (MPI GYMREK) WHICH HAS ALREADY INITIATED A FRUITFUL COLLABORATION. FURTHER, ANALYSES WILL BE PERFORMED PRIMARILY USING EXISTING AFRICAN SUPERCOMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND LED BY NEW AND EARLY-STAGE AFRICAN INVESTIGATORS AND TRAINEES. OVERALL, THE PROPOSED AIMS WILL LIKELY IDENTIFY NOVEL MEDICALLY RELEVANT GENETIC VARIANTS AND CONTINUE TO FOSTER DATA SCIENCE CAPABILITIES WITHIN AFRICA.

EARLY LIFE AFLATOXIN B1 EXPOSURE AND EPIGENETIC PROGRAMMING IN NIGERIAN NEWBORNS - PROJECT SUMMARY AFLATOXIN B1 (AFB1) IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA (HCC) IN SUB SAHARAN AFRICA, WHERE AFLATOXIN CONTAMINATION IS COMMON. IN THESE AREAS, EXPOSURE TO AFB1 STARTS EARLY IN LIFE THROUGH MATERNAL ROUTES DURING PREGNANCY. POPULATIONS IN THESE COUNTRIES EXPERIENCE EARLY ONSET OF HCC, AND IN UTERO AFB1 EXPOSURE MAY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE ONSET OF THE DISEASE. EXPOSURES TO NUTRIENTS, TOXIC CHEMICALS AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS DURING GESTATION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN DETERMINING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISEASES LATER IN LIFE. THE MECHANISM OF EARLY ONSET OF CARCINOGENESIS MAY INCLUDE EPIGENETIC CHANGES IN TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENES (TSGS). OUR PREVIOUS RODENT STUDY SHOWED THAT IN UTERO AFB1 EXPOSURE CAN ALTER DNA METHYLATION OF TSGS. IT IS NECESSARY TO INVESTIGATE THE IMPACT OF IN UTERO AFB1 EXPOSURE ON METHYLATION AND EXPRESSION OF TSGS IN HUMANS. THE OVERALL HYPOTHESIS IS THAT IN UTERO AFB1 EXPOSURE WILL DIFFERENTIALLY METHYLATE TSGS, AND THIS METHYLATION WILL INVERSELY CORRELATE WITH THE EXPRESSION OF THE TSGS. THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ESTABLISH A PRE-BIRTH COHORT AND STUDY THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN IN UTERO EXPOSURE TO AFB1 AND DNA METHYLATION CHANGES IN TSGS OF NEWBORNS IN NIGERIA. TO ACHIEVE THIS, WE WILL RECRUIT PREGNANT WOMEN IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER FROM TWO NIGERIAN HOSPITALS SERVING A RURAL AND AN URBAN AREA. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT NIGERIAN WOMEN WILL HAVE A RANGE OF AFB1 EXPOSURE LEVELS DETECTABLE IN PLASMA. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT IN UTERO AFB1 EXPOSURE WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENTIAL METHYLATION AND EXPRESSION OF TSGS IN CORD BLOOD SAMPLES. THE SPECIFIC AIMS OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO 1) DETERMINE THE LEVELS OF AFB1 IN THE PLASMA OF PREGNANT WOMEN, USING HPLC, COLLECTED DURING THE FIRST AND THIRD TRIMESTERS OF PREGNANCY, AND NEWBORNS (CORD BLOOD), 2) ASSESS THE DNA METHYLATION OF TSGS IN THE CORD BLOOD VIA PYROSEQUENCING AND TO DETERMINE IF AFB1 CONCENTRATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEVELS OF DNA METHYLATION, 3) DETERMINE THE EXPRESSION OF TSGS IN THE CORD BLOOD USING REAL-TIME QUANTITATIVE PCR AND DETERMINE IF GENE EXPRESSION IS INVERSELY CORRELATED WITH METHYLATION CHANGES IN THE TSGS. THE FINDINGS OF THIS STUDY WILL PROVIDE DATA ON AFB1 EXPOSURE AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN IN NIGERIA AND ITS SUBSEQUENT EFFECT ON THE EPIGENOME OF NEWBORNS. THIS DATA WILL PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR FUTURE RESEARCH DEVELOPING EPIGENETIC BIOMARKERS OF AFB1 EXPOSURE AS WELL AS INVESTIGATING EPIGENETIC MECHANISMS ASSOCIATED WITH PRENATAL EXPOSURE TO AFB1 AND THE RISK OF DEVELOPING LIVER CANCER IN AFRICA. THIS RESEARCH DIRECTION MAY PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO REDUCING THE INCIDENCE OF THIS CANCER IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, ESPECIALLY IN COUNTRIES SUCH AS NIGERIA, WHERE AFB1 EXPOSURE IS HIGHLY PREVALENT. THROUGH THIS RESEARCH, THE PI WILL BECOME A LEADER IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIGENETICS, STUDYING HOW EARLY-LIFE EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS OF PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS IN AFRICA CONTRIBUTES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NON- COMMUNICABLE DISEASES LATER IN LIFE.
