NIAGARA UNIVERSITY (OPEID #00278800) - EMERGENCY SUPPORT FOR UNIVERSITY COSTS

EARLY HEAD START

UZIMA-DS: UTILIZING HEALTH INFORMATION FOR MEANINGFUL IMPACT IN EAST AFRICA THROUGH DATA SCIENCE - PROJECT SUMMARY – OVERALL COMPONENT AFRICA IS THE YOUNGEST CONTINENT IN THE WORLD, WITH 60% OF ITS POPULATION UNDER THE AGE OF 25. THE SPAN BETWEEN EARLY LIFE TO YOUNG ADULTHOOD REPRESENTS A CRITICAL WINDOW WHERE BIOLOGICAL, ENVIRONMENT AND PSYCHOSOCIAL EVENTS CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT LONG- TERM UZIMA, WHICH MEANS HEALTH/WELL-BEING IN SWAHILI. COUPLED WITH THE RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND THE ENORMOUS VOLUMES OF DATA COLLECTED IN AFRICA, THERE IS AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE DATA SCIENCE TO IDENTIFY AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH TRAJECTORIES OF YOUNG AFRICANS. HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANT ANALYTICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL BARRIERS PERSIST THAT IMPEDE OUR ABILITY TO USE THIS INFORMATION TO CHANGE CARE AT THE COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. OUR PROPOSED RESEARCH HUB, UZIMA-DS, AIMS TO CHANGE THIS NARRATIVE BY UTILIZING HEALTH INFORMATION FOR MEANINGFUL IMPACT IN EAST AFRICA THROUGH DATA SCIENCE. WE WILL CREATE A SCALABLE AND SUSTAINABLE PLATFORM TO APPLY NOVEL APPROACHES TO DATA ASSIMILATION AND ADVANCED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)/MACHINE LEARNING (ML)-BASED METHODS TO SERVE AS EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS TO ADDRESS CRITICAL HEALTH ISSUES IMPACTING YOUNG AFRICANS IN TWO DOMAINS: MATERNAL, NEWBORN AND CHILD HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH. OUR HUB ADDRESSES THREE CRITICAL NEEDS ACROSS THE TRANSLATIONAL SPECTRUM OF DATA SCIENCE: 1) HARMONIZATION OF MULTIMODAL DATA SOURCES FOR MEANINGFUL USE AND ANALYSES; 2) LEVERAGING TEMPORAL PATTERNS OF DATA TO IDENTIFY TRAJECTORIES THROUGH PREDICTION MODELING USING AI/ML-BASED METHODS; AND 3) ENGAGING WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY PATHWAYS FOR DISSEMINATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THESE MODELS INTO TARGET COMMUNITIES. FOR OUR MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH STUDY (PROJECT 1), WE WILL LEVERAGE THE LARGE AND DIVERSE EXISTING DATA SETS IN KENYA, INCLUDING TWO DEMOGRAPHIC SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS, COHORT STUDIES AND HOSPITAL DATA, TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE AI/ML-BASED PREDICTION MODELS TO IDENTIFY WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE AT HIGH RISK FOR POOR PREGNANCY OUTCOMES (E.G., PREGNANCY-INDUCED HYPERTENSION, LOW BIRTHWEIGHT) AND NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES LATER IN LIFE AND CHILDREN AT RISK OF FUTURE POOR LIFE OUTCOMES (E.G., DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS). FOR OUR MENTAL HEALTH STUDY (PROJECT 2), LEVERAGE EXISTING SURVEILLANCE DATA AS WELL AS NOVEL MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES (E.G., MOBILE APPS, WEARABLES) FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXISTING AND NEW AI/ML-BASED PREDICTION MODELS TO IDENTIFY ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG HEALTHCARE WORKERS AT RISK OF DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE IDEATION IN KENYA. OUR HUB AND PROJECTS WILL BE SUPPORTED BY AN ADMIN CORE, DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS CORE, AND A DISSEMINATION AND SUSTAINABILITY CORE, WHICH WILL FACILITATE ENGAGEMENT WITH MULTISECTORAL STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY SUSTAINABLE MODEL DISSEMINATION PATHWAYS INTO TARGET COMMUNITIES. ULTIMATELY, OUR WORK WILL EMPOWER AFRICAN RESEARCHERS TO CARRY FORWARD THE UZIMA-DS HUB TO ADDRESS ON-GOING AND EVOLVING HEALTH NEEDS OF AFRICANS BY BUILDING SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE, EXPERTISE, AND PARTNERSHIPS FOR LONG-LASTING IMPACT. THE UZIMA-DS HUB CAN SERVE AS A MODEL THAT CAN BE SCALED TO OTHER COUNTRIES AND HEALTH DOMAINS WITH THE GREATER DS-I CONSORTIUM TO TRANSFORM CARE DELIVERY IN AFRICA, ENSURING THAT CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF AFRICANS CAN ACHIEVE UZIMA.

SUSCEPTIBILITY TO AND RELEASE FROM MASKING IN INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD

DOMESTIC WATER GRANTS - REGULAR

SPEECH PERCEPTION AND AUDITORY ABILITIES IN INFANTS, CHILDREN, AND ADULTS WITH DOWN SYNDROME - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CHARACTERIZE THE SPEECH PERCEPTION AND AUDITORY ABILITIES OF INFANTS, CHILDREN, AND ADULTS WITH DOWN SYNDROME. PRIOR RESEARCH INVOLVING INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NEUROTYPICAL HAS HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY PERCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT ON LONG-TERM SPEECH AND LANGUAGE OUTCOMES, BUT LITTLE IS CURRENTLY KNOWN ABOUT THE FACTORS THAT SUPPORT COMMUNICATION OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DOWN SYNDROME. WE DO KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL HEARING SKILLS IN CHILDREN WHO ARE NEUROTYPICAL (SUCH AS UNDERSTANDING SPEECH WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE TALKING AT THE SAME TIME) REQUIRES YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH SOUND, EXTENSIVE LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE, AND MATURATION OF EXECUTIVE FUNCTION. THESE OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST THAT ATTAINMENT OF SPEECH PERCEPTION AND HEARING MILESTONES IS LIKELY TO BE DELAYED OR DISRUPTED FOR CHILDREN WITH DOWN SYNDROME, DUE TO LIMITATIONS IN INTELLECTUAL FUNCTIONING, LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE, AND COGNITIVE PROCESSING. THE FIRST AIM OF THIS PROJECT EVALUATES PHONEME PERCEPTION IN INFANTS, CHILDREN, AND ADULTS WITH DOWN SYNDROME, WITH A FOCUS ON CHARACTERIZING INFANTS’ DISCRIMINATION OF NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE SPEECH CONTRASTS AND EXAMINING EFFECTS OF HEARING LOSS ON THE CONSONANT IDENTIFICATION IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS. THE SECOND AIM TESTS THE HYPOTHESIS THAT MATURATION OF SELECTIVE LISTENING STRATEGIES FOLLOWS A DELAYED TIME COURSE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DOWN SYNDROME, RESULTING IN GREATER SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INTERFERENCE FROM COMPETING BACKGROUND SOUNDS. THE THIRD AIM CHARACTERIZES THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE SPEECH IN THE PRESENCE OF COMPETING BACKGROUND SOUNDS IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH DOWN SYNDROME, ACCOUNTING FOR INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN FACTORS SUCH AS LINGUISTIC KNOWLEDGE AND WORKING MEMORY. THE RESULTS GENERATED BY THIS PROJECT ARE EXPECTED TO INFORM THEORETICAL MODELS REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPEECH PERCEPTION AND HEARING ABILITIES IN INDIVIDUALS WITH DOWN SYNDROME, AND HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE PRELIMINARY GUIDANCE FOR STRATEGIES TO MAXIMIZE SPEECH COMMUNICATION OUTCOMES IN NOISY ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS CLASSROOMS.
