COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSF INCLUDES ALLIANCE: ALLIANCE SUPPORTING PACIFIC IMPACT THROUGH COMPUTATIONAL EXCELLENCE (ALL-SPICE) -ALL SPICE ABSTRACT THE NSF INCLUDES ALLIANCE SUPPORTING PACIFIC IMPACT THROUGH COMPUTATIONAL EXCELLENCE (ALL-SPICE) PROPOSES EFFORTS TO HARNESS THE DATA REVOLUTION TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABILITY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE IN THE HAWAI'I-PACIFIC REGION. ALL-SPICE, LED BY CHAMINADE UNIVERSITY OF HONOLULU WITH PARTNERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AUSTIN, TEXAS ADVANCED COMPUTING CENTER, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I, WILL FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL DATA SCIENCE CAPACITY IN SUPPORT OF HAWAI'I-PACIFIC PROGRESS TOWARDS THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDG). ALL-SPICE WILL BUILD EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH CAPACITY IN DATA SCIENCE FOR COMMUNITY IMPACT IN HAWAI'I AND THE U.S.-AFFILIATED PACIFIC ISLANDS (USAPI), ADAPTING DATA SCIENCE CURRICULUM FOR ONLINE DEPLOYMENT TO REACH RURAL, NEIGHBOR ISLAND AND USAPI PARTICIPANTS, ENHANCING FACULTY RESEARCH CAPACITY IN DATA SCIENCE, DEVELOPING NEW UNDERGRADUATE DATA SCIENCE RESEARCH EXPERIENCES, AND PRODUCING NEW PACIFIC-FOCUSED DATA SCIENCE COURSES FOR BROAD DEPLOYMENT ACROSS THE ALLIANCE. ADDITIONALLY, ALL-SPICE WILL CURATE A ?WAYFINDING TO DATA? (W2D) PORTFOLIO OF DATA SCIENCE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES SPANNING K-20 AND TARGETING MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A ROBUST DATA SCIENCE INFRASTRUCTURE, REGIONAL EXPERTISE IN ANALYTICS, AND STRONG LINKAGES TO DECISION SUPPORT CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE WILL EMPOWER HAWAI'I-PACIFIC COMMUNITIES TO PROVIDE PACIFIC PERSPECTIVES ROOTED IN PACIFIC EXPERIENCES AND EPISTEMOLOGY IN GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR STEM, DATA SCIENCE AND POLICYMAKING. ALL-SPICE IS POSITIONED FOR COLLECTIVE IMPACT ON HAWAI'I-PACIFIC DATA SCIENCE THROUGH THE BACKBONE ORGANIZATION (CHAMINADE UNIVERSITY OF HONOLULU, TEXAS ADVANCED COMPUTING CENTER, AND THE HAWAI'I DATA SCIENCE INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I) AND A WIDE COORDINATION NETWORK THAT SPANS HAWAI'I AND THE (USAPI). THE COORDINATION NETWORK COMPRISES MAJOR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE EAST WEST CENTER, THE NSF ISLANDS OF OPPORTUNITY LSAMP ALLIANCE (TWO- AND FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES ACROSS MICRONESIA, AMERICAN SAMOA, GUAM, THE MARSHALL ISLANDS, AND THE NORTHERN MARIANAS) AND SOCIAL SECTOR PARTNERS WITH A SHARED AGENDA OF STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES AND PROGRESS TOWARDS THE SDG IN THE REGION. THE STEM EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH (SER) KNOWLEDGE BASE FOR INCLUSIVE HAWAI'I-PACIFIC DATA SCIENCE EDUCATION WILL BE ENHANCED BY RESEARCH CONDUCTED ON SOCIAL JUSTICE-ORIENTED APPROACHES TO ENCULTURATION OF DATA SCIENCE PEDAGOGY, AND APPROACHES THAT FOSTER SELF-EFFICACY AND SENSE-OF-BELONGING FOR HAWAI'I- PACIFIC DATA SCIENCE STUDENTS. ALLIANCE PRODUCTS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A NEW COLLABORATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR DATA SCIENCE EDUCATION IN HAWAI'I (INCLUDING RURAL/ NEIGHBOR ISLAND LOCALES) AND THE USAPI. DATA PRODUCTS WILL INFORM POLICY AND PROVIDE DECISION SUPPORT FOR PACIFIC-LED ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE STRATEGY. BROADER IMPACTS INCLUDE INCREASING THE PARTICIPATION OF UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN DATA SCIENCE. ALL-SPICE ACTIVITIES ARE EXPECTED TO POSITIVELY IMPACT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYMENT PATHWAYS IN DATA SCIENCE FOR HAWAI?I AND THE USAPI. AS A RESULT, THE REGION WILL BE STRENGTHENED BY DATA-DRIVEN DECISION SUPPORT CAPACITY RELATED TO THE SDGS, PARTICULARLY IN ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE, HEALTH, POVERTY REDUCTION AND INNOVATION. THIS ALLIANCE IS FUNDED BY NSF INCLUSION ACROSS THE NATION OF COMMUNITIES OF LEARNERS OF UNDERREPRESENTED DISCOVERERS IN ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE (NSF INCLUDES), A COMPREHENSIVE NATIONAL INITIATIVE TO ENHANCE U.S. LEADERSHIP IN DISCOVERIES AND INNOVATIONS BY FOCUSING ON DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN STEM AT SCALE. THE ALLIANCE IS ALSO FUNDED BY THE DIRECTORATE FOR COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (CISE), THE LOUIS STOKES ALLIANCES FOR MINORITY PARTICIPATION (LSAMP) PROGRAM, WHICH ASSISTS UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN DIVERSIFYING THE STEM WORKFORCE, AND THE NSF ESTABLISHED PROGRAM TO STIMULATE COMPETITIVE RESEARCH (EPSCOR) PROGRAM. 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.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WORKFORCE EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAM - NEED: HAWAI’I IS IN THE MIDST OF A SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS, WITH DEMAND FOR SERVICES SOARING DUE TO THE LASTING IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, ECONOMIC CHALLENGES, AND GLOBAL UNCERTAINTIES. A SIGNIFICANT SHORTAGE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, PARTICULARLY PEDIATRIC PSYCHIATRIC PROVIDERS, HAS MADE TIMELY CARE LARGELY INACCESSIBLE. THE CRISIS IS EVEN MORE ACUTE ON THE NEIGHBOR ISLANDS, SUCH AS HAWAI’I ISLAND, WHERE THE CLIENT-TO-THERAPIST RATIO STANDS AT AN ALARMING 320-TO-1. CURRENTLY, HAWAI’I MEETS ONLY ABOUT 14% OF ITS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE NEEDS, WITH AN EVEN SMALLER FRACTION AVAILABLE FOR CHILDREN. IN A RECENT STATEWIDE SURVEY, OVER THREE-QUARTERS OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS REPORTED THAT MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING AND PSYCHIATRY ARE THE MOST REQUESTED SERVICES AMONG PATIENT REFERRALS. PROPOSED SERVICES: TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES, WE WILL 1) RECRUIT AND TRAIN PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONERS; 2) EXPAND AND CREATE NEW COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH EXPERIENTIAL INTEGRATED CARE TRAINING SITES IN HIGH-NEED, HIGH-DEMAND AREAS; 3) ENHANCE COLLABORATIVE TRAINING BY ADOPTING TEAM-BASED CARE MODELS THAT INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTO INTERPROFESSIONAL PRIMARY CARE SETTINGS, AND; 4) RECRUIT, DEVELOP, AND INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF CLINICAL SUPERVISORS TO SUPPORT AND MENTOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TRAINEES. SPECIFICALLY, CHAMINADE UNIVERSITY OF HONOLULU'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WORKFORCE EDUCATION AND TRAINING (BHWET) INITIATIVE AIMS TO ADDRESS THE CRITICAL NEED FOR PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONERS (PMHNPS) IN HAWAI’I. OUR GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HIGHLY SKILLED PMHNPS BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO STUDENTS, THEREBY REDUCING THE ECONOMIC BARRIERS TO ENTERING THIS SPECIALIZED FIELD. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL ENHANCE FIELD PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE PMHNP TRACK OF OUR DOCTOR OF NURSING PRACTICE (DNP) PROGRAM, EMPHASIZING INTERPROFESSIONAL, COMMUNITY-BASED SETTINGS. THESE PARTNERSHIPS WILL INVOLVE INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAMS AND OFFER OUR STUDENTS VALUABLE COLLABORATIVE TRAINING WHILE INTEGRATING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES INTO THE CARE PROVIDED TO MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. FOR THIS BHWET PROJECT, WE WILL COLLABORATE WITH THE INSTITUTE OF HUMAN SERVICES (IHS) AND CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICE (CFS). POPULATIONS TO BE SERVED: THESE PROPOSED SERVICES WILL PRIMARILY SERVE YOUNG ADULTS IN UNDERSERVED AND MARGINALIZED AREAS OF HAWAI’I. FUNDING PREFERENCE: FOR OUR BHWET PROGRAM, WE WILL BE REQUESTING FOR FUNDING PRIORITY 1: PROGRAMS THAT HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO TRAIN PSYCHOLOGY, PSYCHIATRY, AND SOCIAL WORK PROFESSIONALS TO WORK IN INTEGRATED CARE SETTINGS; AND FOR FUNDING PREFERENCE 3: NEW PROGRAM.

MAUKA TO MAKAI: WATERSHED EXPERIENCE FOR TEACHERS (M2M:WET) PROJECT SEEKS TO ENHANCE THE CAPACITY OF HAWAII'S SECONDARY-LEVEL SCIENCE TEACHERS TO ENGAGE THEIR STUDENTS IN WATERSHED AND AHUPUAA STEWARDSHIP EDUCATION. THE TWO-YEAR PROJECT WILL BRING TOGETHER TEACHERS WORKING IN HAWAII SCHOOLS (I.E. GRADES 6-12) TO BUILD CAPACITY TO STEWARD URBAN WATERSHEDS FROM MAUKA TO MAKAI THROUGH AN IN-DEPTH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FIELD EXPERIENCE. THE TARGET NUMBER OF TEACHERS IS 18, WITH A COMBINED IMPACT OF APPROXIMATELY 2,700 STUDENTS/YEAR. THE M2M:WET TWO-WEEK FIELD EXPERIENCE WILL EMPLOY THE HAWAIIAN PRACTICE OF KILO (KEEN OBSERVATION) AND SCIENTIFIC SKILLS. THE TEACHERS WILL THEN DEVELOP TEACHING MATERIALS, THROUGH ACTIVITIES WITH CUH FACULTY (INCLUDING A HAWAIIAN CULTURAL SPECIALIST) AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. FOLLOWING THE SUMMER FIELD EXPERIENCE, TEACHERS WILL ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY-BUILDING MEETINGS, CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT, AND PRESENT THEIR WORK AT A CONFERENCE.
