By combining the data resources and research informatics expertise at UC Davis, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Irvine, and San Diego, UC Health is uniquely positioned to provide high-quality clinical data of diverse patient populations across the State of California to help N3C fulfill its mission to “build a centralized national data resource that the research community can use to study COVID-19 and identify potential treatments as the pandemic continues to evolve.” The proposed work will leverage an existing UC- wide initiative on curating the UC COVID Research Data Set (UC CORDS), a continuously updated HIPAA Limited Data Set that contains comprehensive clinical information of all patients tested for COVID-19 at any UC Health facility. To ensure high-quality and timely data delivery, we will create a UC-wide governance structure to establish a master Data Transfer and Use Agreement (DTUA) with NCATS on behalf of all five UC CTSA Hubs, in addition to coordinating research ethics reviews. We will also create an informatics task force involving key stakeholders at each UC CTSA Hub to coordinate site-level data work.

The case fatality rate in COVID-19 indicates that older people are dying at a higher rate than other age groups, with 80 percent of deaths occurring in those older than 65 years. However, predicting disease severity in COVID-19 patients remains elusive. Humans co-exist with a vast and complex set of microbes (termed the microbiota) that extensively interact with the immune system and have the ability to trigger pro- or anti-inflammatory responses. Recent studies suggest that the host immune status is influenced by a fine balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory signals generated, in part, by the microbiota. This balance is most likely disrupted in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Given that previous studies have shown an association between inflammatory status of the patient and severity of the COVID-19 infection, characterizing the impact of the microbiota in SARS-CoV- 2 infection might prove critical to predict disease severity. The objective of this study is to define the association between the proinflammatory microbiome and the risk of developing ARDS in elderly patients with coronavirus infection admitted at University of Maryland School of Medicine. Our hypothesis is that pro-inflammatory microbiota is associated with airway epithelial destruction leading to severe coronavirus infection. The proposed work has the potential to identify pathway(s) involved in development of more severe complications of viral infection which can guide new treatments. This supplemental grant expands the current scope of University of Maryland Claude D. Pepper Center (UM- OAIC) research to identify new and critical microbiota-based targets for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, in order to improve outcomes and decrease disabilities in elderly patients diagnosed with Coronavirus infection. Our long-term goal is to develop novel microbiota-based targets for diagnostic applications and new treatments to reduce time on the ventilator, ICU and hospital stay with additional goals of rapid discharge home and return to a meaningful quality of life. We propose the following specific aims: SA1: Characterize the associations between human microbiota and ARDS in elderly patients infected with coronavirus. SA2: : Evaluate the T-cell repertoires, cytokine profiles associated with proinflammatory microbiota and ARDS in patients older than 65 in comparison with patients younger than 65 years old. SA3 : Evaluate if a proinflammatory microbiome is associated with worse outcomes (longer hospital length of stay and time on the ventilator) in comparison with anti-inflammatory microbiome.", "keywords": [ "2019-nCoV", "Adult", "Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome", "American", "Anti-Inflammatory Agents", "Bacteria", "Bacteroidetes", "Bifidobacterium", "COVID-19", "Capsicum", "Case Fatality Rates", "Cessation of life", "Characteristics", "Clinical", "Complex", "Coronavirus", "Coronavirus Infections", "Critical Illness", "Death Rate", "Development", "Diagnosis", "Diagnostic", "Disease", "Distant", "Elderly", "Environment", "Equilibrium", "Failure", "Firmicutes", "Functional disorder", "Genome", "Goals", "Grant", "Health", "Home environment", "Hospitalization", "Hospitals", "Human", "Immune response", "Immune system", "Immunologics", "Incidence", "Infection", "Inflammatory", "Inflammatory Response", "Intensive Care Units", "Intubation", "Lactobacillus", "Length of Stay", "Lung", "Maryland", "Medical center", "Microbe", "Natural Immunity", "Nose", "Oral Characters", "Outcome", "Pathway interactions", "Patients", "Performance", "Phenotype", "Physiology", "Predisposition", "Process", "Property", "Prospective cohort", "Quality of life", "Reporting", "Research", "Respiratory Failure", "Risk", "SARS coronavirus", "Severities", "Severity of illness", "Shock", "Signal Transduction", "Site", "T cell response", "T-Lymphocyte", "Therapeutic", "Time", "United States", "Universities", "Ventilator", "Virus Diseases", "Work", "adaptive immunity", "age group", "aged", "airway epithelium", "base", "cytokine", "deconditioning", "disability", "fungal microbiota", "genetic element", "gut microbiota", "high risk", "human microbiota", "human old age (65+)", "immune activation", "immune system function", "immunological status", "improved", "improved outcome", "innovation", "insight", "interest", "lung injury", "medical schools", "member", "microbiome", "microbiota", "mortality", "mortality risk", "novel", "older patient", "pathogenic microbe", "patient population", "respiratory", "social" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "10655", "attributes": { "award_id": "1U54CA272205-01", "title": "University of Maryland First Program", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "National Cancer Institute (NCI)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-09-09", "end_date": "2027-08-31", "award_amount": 70373, "principal_investigator": { "id": 26713, "first_name": "Marey R.", "last_name": "Shriver", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 793, "ror": "", "name": "UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALTIMORE", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "SPECIFIC AIMS African American/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian, and Alaska Native individuals make up 34% of the population, however they are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. Underrepresented minorities (URM) make up 15% of PhD graduates and representation further along the pipeline in academia shows further attrition with URMs comprising only 9% of Assistant Professor and 4% of tenured faculty positions. Lastly, URM scientists receive only 6% of NIH research grants which are a necessity for establishing and maintaining a successful research career. The inability to maintain a diverse pool of faculty who conduct biomedical and health related research has wide spread implications. Increasing representation within research institutions will allow academic medicine to meet the needs of a diverse nation and address persistent health inequities and disparities, such as those illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. To address the critical gap of underrepresentation, institutional strategies must establish equitable and inclusive recruitment and faculty development that directly address existing barriers to this population. The University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) have longstanding individual and collaborative efforts to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in the biomedical sciences, with programs supporting trainees from middle school to graduate and medical school training. Collectively UMSOM & UMBC pipeline programs and partnerships stemming from these programs have increased the recruitment of UR students and enhanced trainee diversity at all levels; however, recruitment and retention of faculty from underrepresented groups signifies a key gap in this trajectory. Currently, at UMSOM and UMBC URMs make up only 5.3% and 12% of total tenure track faculty, respectively. URM in the biomedical sciences have expressed low representation leads to social and professional isolation. Lack of critical mass of minority faculty, coordinated programs and resources to support retention and promotion, and senior leader who serve as diversity champions have been identified as key barriers to the recruitment, retention, and promotion of URM faculty. To address existing barriers to URM faculty retention and promotion we will build off prior experience from UMBC’s nationally renowned Meyerhoff Scholars Program. The success of students within the Meyerhoff Scholars Program has been attributed to addressing 4 critical factors: academic and social integration, knowledge and skill development, support and motivation, and monitoring and advising. The overall goal of the faculty development core is to transform our faculty development approach through adaptation of the Meyerhoff model using coordinated programs and resources to: 1) support the development, retention, and promotion of URM faculty, 2) create a network of senior leaders who serve as diversity champions to sustain inclusion and equity and, 3) over the long term increase the critical mass of URM faculty within the University of Maryland. Towards this goal, the specific aims of the faculty development core are: • To ensure the University of Maryland (UM) FIRST faculty cohorts achieve academic & social Integration. We will utilize existing campus networks and events, combined with individual support for integration, to ensure UM FIRST faculty are included within the fabric of their academic department and institution. In addition, a pilot grant program will encourage academic integration through the formation of new collaborations between UM FIRST and UMSOM and UMBC investigators. • To use monitoring & advising of UM FIRST faculty cohort progress to support long term success. We will combine individual development plans, mentoring committees, and administrative support to provide continual monitoring and support for UM FIRST faculty career progression. • To ensure UM FIRST faculty develop skills & knowledge in scientific writing, grant writing, and scientific management, leadership, and teaching. UM FIRST faculty will participate in a pre-defined curriculum, the FIRST Curriculum, that will focus on developing the skills and knowledge essential for an independent research career, including the required milestones to achieve promotion and tenure. Informed by their IDP and mentoring committee, UM FIRST faculty will select the most appropriate training based on their current needs in each of the following focus areas: 1) scientific writing; 2) grant writing; and 3) scientific management, leadership, and teaching. • To provide support & motivation to the UM FIRST faculty cohort through peer-mentoring and individual coaching. UM FIRST faculty will participate in peer mentoring groups and receive individual coaching to receive support while pursuing their professional and research goals. By adapting the Meyerhoff model for faculty development we will implement a scalable model to increase coordinated programs and resources to support retention and promotion of URM and create a network of senior leaders who serve as diversity champions. The success of the UM FIRST program is central to the mission of both institutions and a key priority to establish a critical mass of diverse faculty while continuing to enhance equity and inclusion, specifically in the recruitment, retention, and promotion of URM faculty on both campuses.", "keywords": [ "Academia", "Address", "African American", "Alaska Native", "American Indians", "Area", "Baltimore", "Biomedical Research", "Black American", "COVID-19 pandemic", "Cancer Biology", "Collaborations", "Communicable Diseases", "County", "Development", "Development Plans", "Doctor of Philosophy", "Educational Curriculum", "Educational process of instructing", "Engineering", "Ensure", "Event", "Faculty", "Goals", "Grant", "Health", "Hispanic", "Immunology", "Individual", "Inosine Diphosphate", "Institution", "Joints", "Knowledge", "Latinx", "Leadership", "Maryland", "Medicine", "Mentors", "Microbiology", "Minority", "Mission", "Modeling", "Monitor", "Motivation", "NCI Scholars Program", "Neurosciences", "Population", "Positioning Attribute", "Research", "Research Personnel", "Research Project Grants", "Resources", "STEM program", "Science", "Students", "Teacher Professional Development", "Technology", "Textiles", "Training", "Underrepresented Minority", "Underrepresented Populations", "Underrepresented Students", "United States National Institutes of Health", "Universities", "Writing", "base", "career", "cohort", "diversity and equity", "experience", "health disparity", "health inequalities", "junior high school", "medical schools", "member", "minority scientist", "peer coaching", "professor", "programs", "recruit", "skill acquisition", "skills", "social", "social integration", "stem", "success", "tenure track", "undergraduate student" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "2339", "attributes": { "award_id": "2115249", "title": "University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science: Research Vessel FG.
