The theme of the workshop follows the need to understand the capabilities of the major ocean observing systems to be used within the GEOSS era, and specifically new and existing cabled observing systems and their ability to address the data and information needs for science. This workshop is organized by the IEEE Committee on Earth Observations (ICEO) as part of an ongoing international series of GEOSS workshops that focus on data, science, and user themes pertinent to GEOSS. \n\nThe IEEE GEOSS workshops focus on development of observing systems for Earth science and the system-of-systems engineering communities that form a core intellectual resource for integrating complex systems. The emphasis on ocean observation systems in this specific workshop serves to direct attendees' attention toward key ocean observational challenges and opportunities within the context of both US and global monitoring. The unique format and scope of the GEOSS workshop series serves to ensure that a broad range of data users, scientists, and engineers contribute to the discussions on Earth system models and the use of environmental data. This will be the 40th in the IEEE series of GEOSS workshops, and so follows an established tradition of success in focusing attention within the relevant science, engineering, and user communities around GEOSS issues.\n\nBroader Impacts\n\nThis GEOSS workshop advances the understanding of the Earth and its processes by presenting contemporary issues associated with Earth observation to a broad and international audience, then publicizing the results of in-depth discussions on these issues on the internet for free global access. The benefits of this workshop are thus available globally, both in direct publications and in the impact that this workshop will have on the identification and implementation of GEO tasks. The activity also serves to connect the engineering community more closely with the Earth science modeling and Earth data user communities, thus enhancing an important three-way partnership necessary to see the maximum benefits from Earth observations.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4993", "attributes": { "award_id": "0829292", "title": "Organizational Youth Development and Science Mentoring Initiatives", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Education and Human Resources (EHR)", "PAESMEM Pres Awrds Excell Ment" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 17919, "first_name": "Martha", "last_name": "James", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2010-01-15", "end_date": "2011-12-31", "award_amount": 10000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 17920, "first_name": "Laura", "last_name": "Jansen", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": null, "keywords": "[]", "approved": true, "websites": "[]", "desired_collaboration": "", "comments": "", "affiliations": [ { "id": 1364, "ror": "", "name": "Project Exploration", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 1364, "ror": "", "name": "Project Exploration", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Project Exploration\t\t\t\t\tChicago, Illinois\n\nProject Exploration has created a model for community-based organizations to follow in regards to mentoring middle and high school students in science. A Chicago-based nonprofit science education organization, Project Exploration's mission is to make science accessible to the public \"especially minority youth and girls\" through personalized experiences with science and scientists. At the heart of this work is youth programming, aimed at getting inner-city kids to think about science as a career option. Project Exploration targets students who may not already be academically successful, but are curious, open-minded, and passionate. In doing so, students are enabled to explore science, increase their scientific literacy, develop leadership skills, and expand their life and career options to include science. \nThe science programs offered by Project Exploration, Junior Paleontologists, Services for Girls, and Dinosaur Giants, are starting points for long-term programming. After getting students interested in science, Project Exploration focuses on keeping them interested and building their capacity to continue that interest. Most students are involved with Project Exploration for at least two years, and a majority has stayed involved for five or more, beginning in middle school and continuing beyond high school graduation. Such long-term mentoring relationships have had significant impact in supporting students through high school and towards STEM careers: 96% of Project Exploration students have graduated high school; 61% have gone onto a four-year college; and 34% of all students and 43% of all women are majoring in science. Overall, Project Exploration students, most of whom are first-generation college bound and are not academically successful at the outset of their experience with Project Exploration, are ten times more likely to graduate from high school, go to college, and major in science than a typical Chicago Public School student from the same school. \nProject Exploration specifically recruits students who are historically underrepresented in science professions. These include women and minority groups, in particular those from low-income backgrounds; 81% of program participants are female, and 19% are male; 73% are African American, 25% Latino, 1% Caucasian, and 1% Other.

The target applications are high-bandwidth RF switches and digitally-tunable RF modules that can be used in wireless communication systems including cell phones. The MMS technology is distinguished from conventional cantilever or bridge type MEMS switches in that it does not have a suspended element and no restoring force is involved in the switch actuation. In conventional MEMS switches, the restoring force is often not able to overcome interfacial forces over time and causes the infamous stiction that leads to permanent failure. Since the MMS switch is designed to switch with free body, it does not suffer from mechanical wear and possibly free from stiction. In addition, the MMS technology can provide an extremely cost effective packaging solution replacing commonly used labor intensive and costly wafer level packaging technology. Since the MMS technology is integration-friendly with conventional silicon CMOS technology, it can be placed on top of any CMOS IC. Therefore, anticipated benefit with the MMS technology extends to size reduction. Also the MMS technology is expected to lower the activation voltage below 10V.\n\nThe broader impact/commercial potential of this project is enabling mobile-phone makers to design smaller, lower-cost smart phones, entry-level handsets, and other mobile devices, which will accelerate the convergence of cell phones and computing devices for the next wave of mobile innovations. The MMS technology will enable lower-cost smart phones that will either complement or replace notebook PCs among mobile users who access data and communicate anywhere for work, study, social networking, and entertainment. The global impact will be enormous because, of about 1.3 billion cell phones to be produced in 2011, of which 57% will be multi-band handsets using RF MEMS components. The MMS technology will enable versatile and high-quality cell-phone communications at a lower cost integrating voice, text, data, and video for the average consumers worldwide. With the inherent stacking and scalability, the MMS technology will also be able to extend the life of popular silicon CMOS technologies currently facing the fundamental limits to further scaling. For RF components in cell phones, the total addressable market (TAM) is $1.9 billion and served available market (SAM) is $460 million by 2011.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5237", "attributes": { "award_id": "0950102", "title": "A Workshop on the Development of Fluid Mechanics Community Software and Data Resources", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "FD-Fluid Dynamics" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2009-10-31", "end_date": "2010-10-31", "award_amount": 61465, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18509, "first_name": "Robert", "last_name": "Moser", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 156, "ror": "", "name": "University of Texas at Austin", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "TX", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 18508, "first_name": "Karl W", "last_name": "Schulz", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 156, "ror": "", "name": "University of Texas at Austin", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "TX", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "0950102\nMoser\n\nOne outcome of the NSF-sponsored workshop 'NSF Workshop on Cyber-Fluid Dynamics: New Frontiers in Research and Education' held July 19-20, 2007 was a recommendation that the fluid mechanics community move toward consolidating computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools as well as libraries of reference numerical solutions and experimental data (http://www.nsfcyberfluids. gatech.edu/). A number of communities have benefited from such a software consolidation. These include the biological molecular dynamics community with NAMD (http://www/ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd) and GROMACS (http://www.gromacs.org), the weather modeling community with WRF (3www.wrf-model.org), and the geodynamics community with CIG (http://www.geodynamics.org/). Among the benefits of such a consolidation would be: lowering barriers to innovation in modeling and numerical methods by providing a software platform for such innovation, increasing productivity of CFD-based research by providing well characterized and well established tools for such research, enabling fluid dynamics research through access to a wide array of reliable experimental and computational data, and improving standards for verification and validation to improve reliability of CFD solutions. To further pursue the possibility and potential processes for developing community software and data resources, a follow-up workshop specifically focused on the development and consolidation of such community resources is planned. The objectives of this workshop are three fold: 1. To explore the likely value and practical issues associated with development of fluid dynamics community software and data resources. 2. To develop a set of recommendations regarding whether and how to move forward to develop such resources. 3. To identify a group of fluid dynamics researchers who will participate in whatever development process is recommended.

In the course of our research to improve nanopore DNA sequencing, we have discovered and developed a new high-resolution single-molecule tool to observe the motion of helicases and polymerases. The tool, which we called Single-molecule Picometer Resolution Nanopore Tweezers (SPRNT), is able to reveal the single-nucleotide steps of helicases and polymerases at unprecedented detail. These enzyme steps are so small (~0.3 nm) and fast (~ 1 ms) that no other existing single-molecule technique can resolve such motion in real time and at physiological conditions. The genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus encodes for an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, also known as non-structural protein 12 (nsp12), and a superfamily 1B helicase, known as nonstructural protein 13 (nsp13). Both of these enzymes are essential and specific to the in vivo replication of many viruses, making this genomic replication machinery an ideal drug target. Several drug candidates to inhibit these enzymes exist, however, none are as effective as they need to be to stem the tide of the current pandemic. Many questions remain about how exactly these drugs interfere with the function of nsp12 or nsp13. SPRNT provides an opportunity to answer these questions. We aim to use SPRNT to analyze the single-molecule motion of nsp12 and nsp13 in physiological conditions and in the presence of drugs against them. The exact knowledge of the mechanisms by which various drugs inhibit nsp12 or nsp13 will enable more rational and rapid design of effective antiviral drugs that have the potential to stop COVID-19.", "keywords": [ "2019-nCoV", "Antiviral Agents", "Award", "Biological Assay", "COVID-19", "DNA", "DNA Sequence", "DNA sequencing", "Drug Design", "Drug Targeting", "Enzyme Inhibitor Drugs", "Enzyme Kinetics", "Enzymes", "Exonuclease", "Funding", "Genome", "Genomics", "Grant", "Kinetics", "Knowledge", "Measures", "Methods", "Monitor", "Motion", "Motor", "National Human Genome Research Institute", "Nonstructural Protein", "Nucleic Acids", "Nucleotides", "Pharmaceutical Preparations", "Physiological", "Polymerase", "Positioning Attribute", "Proteins", "RNA", "RNA-Directed RNA Polymerase", "Research", "Resolution", "Site", "Techniques", "Technology", "Time", "Viral", "Viral Genome", "Virus", "Virus Replication", "design", "drug candidate", "helicase", "improved", "in vivo", "inhibitor/antagonist", "insight", "millisecond", "nanopore", "pandemic disease", "premature", "prevent", "remdesivir", "single molecule", "stem", "tool", "viral RNA" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5348", "attributes": { "award_id": "3U54MD007598-14S1", "title": "Accelerating Excellence in Translational Science (AXIS)", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 18770, "first_name": "Rina", "last_name": "Das", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2009-09-28", "end_date": "2024-02-29", "award_amount": 358750, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18771, "first_name": "JAYDUTT V", "last_name": "VADGAMA", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 907, "ror": "", "name": "CHARLES R.

Underresourced groups, specifically minorities, are experiencing exponentially high morbidity and mortality rates, in addition to poorer health outcomes, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is compounded by higher levels of vaccine hesitancy within this population, which may be attributed to a myriad of issues, including medical mistrust and lack of access to health services. One particular group, African American and Latinx public housing residents, are facing adverse effects related to worsening social determinants and health disparities. Utilizing a community-driven approach, the overall objective of this proposed study is to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake and completion among African American and Latinx public housing residents. Guided by the Community Based Participatory Model, the Information, Motivation, and Behavioral Skills (IMB) and the Transtheoretical Model will be utilized to carry out this intervention. Through this innovative program, we will establish the Academic-Community Team for Improving Vaccine Acceptability and Targeted Engagement (ACTIVATE) program, which will develop leadership triads of public housing resident leaders, nurse practitioner students, and public health students to carry out this multilevel intervention. The multidisciplinary, theoretically-based, culturally-driven proposed project is evidence-informed and promising for African American and Latinx public housing residents and will be advanced through the following three aims: 1) To conduct a 12-week training of 30 ACTIVATE triads, who will master information about COVID-19, and increase in knowledge and skills to address the social, behavioral, and healthcare-related vaccination challenges among African American and Latinx public housing residents. 2) Through the engagement and empowerment of 30 ACTIVATE triads, to jointly implement a community-driven, culturally-sensitive plan that will a) reduce mistrust, fatalistic beliefs, and psychosocial barriers to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and b) increase receptivity and willingness for uptake of COVID-19 vaccine among 600 residents in public housing areas. And 3) using a pretest-posttest design, to investigate the impact of a longitudinal, ACTIVATE-led intervention on the completion of the COVID-19 vaccine series among 252 African American and Latinx public housing residents reporting vaccine hesitancy following the Aim 2 community-level intervention. The outcomes of this proposal will produce community- and health-professional- based vaccine leaders that can increase COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among minority public housing residents, inducing sustainability.

Drew University of Medicine and Science proposes to continue the enhancement and success of the Accelerating Excellence in Translational Science (AXIS) Center. AXIS has shown to be the integrated hub for research conducted at CDU and continues to provide experienced leadership, and a myriad of clinical, translational, and community partnered activities. In the next five years, research will continue to grow and expand its enterprise alongside the Universities vision and mission to be a leader in eliminating health disparities by translating scientific discoveries into education, training, clinical care, treatment, and community service in three areas of focus which disproportionally affect Service Planning Area 6: Cancer, Cardiometabolic Disease (CMD), and HIV/AIDS. In addition, we look to build upon the application of Precision Medicine to understand and eliminate health disparities, while utilizing many of CDU’s outstanding resources in: Advanced Technologies such as Next Generation Sequencing for identifying Genomic Data; Drug Discovery; Integrated Clinical Tissues, Biorepository and Bio banking Facility; Clinical Studies/Trials Resources; Medical Bioinformatics; and Methods for Statistical and Epidemiological Studies. This approach will pave the pathway for CDU’s in becoming a competitive institution with sophisticated resources and services to better serve our communities. To accomplish this, we propose to continue with the three programmatic goals that align with the mission, vision, and strategic plan for the universities research enterprise: Goal 1: To enhance the infrastructure capacity in translational research using Precision Medicine model in the areas of Cancer, Cardiometabolic, and HIV/AIDS. Provide support for the emerging research pillars in Mental Health and Health Services Goal 2: To continue the integration of basic, clinical, behavioral and community-partnered research by fostering collaboration among disciplines, departments and schools at CDU, and sustainable collaboration with community leaders and investigators across other research institutions.

One major challenge, at the community level, is the increased risk of outbreaks of COVID-19 at faith-based gatherings. The second major challenge is the negative impact of this pandemic on the management of chronic conditions, particularly older adults with co-morbidities and underlying conditions. AA older adults, specifically those managing comorbidities and social isolation, are one of the most vulnerable groups susceptible to COVID-19 infection and have the most severe and critical consequences of this pandemic. AA older adults with co-morbidities, who heavily rely on county-based safety- net facilities, have had to change their patterns of seeking required medical care to manage their chronic conditions, including delaying, reducing, or stopping visits to primary and specialty providers, or to a pharmacy to obtain medication and treatment. Reduced routine access to health care providers and prescribed medications, coupled with risky health behaviors during the pandemic, may substantially exasperate existing disparities in healthcare utilization, non-adherence to management of chronic conditions, unhealthy lifestyles, and poorer health outcomes among underserved AA older adults. This multilevel, multidisciplinary, theoretically-based, culturally sensitive, community participatory intervention addresses these challenges in two phases. In Phase One, we collaborate with 10 AA church leaders on implementing Federal and State (California) public health guidelines for churches for reducing COVID-19 risk in predominantly AA churches in South Los Angeles, potentially impacting over 3,000 parishioners. In addition, we collaborate with 10 AA churches to train 30 church-based AA young adults as health advisors to master information about COVID-19 and its impact on the daily life of underserved AAs, particularly, older adults with underlying multimorbidity or social isolation. In Phase Two, we recruit 265 AA older parishioners to receive a telehealth-based culturally and spiritually sensitive intervention that provides health coaching and support. The goal of this phase is to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 on the management of chronic health conditions, and to reduce healthcare avoidance behaviors and psychological distress caused by the pandemic. This study builds sustainability for the AA community with the training of 30 AA church-based health advisors who will be a valuable community resource as they can continue to provide coaching and support after the intervention. Through collaboration with AA church leaders in South Los Angeles, we ensure that AA ministerial leaders are at the forefront of our efforts to assist in the development of a healthy community. This intervention seeks to help one of the most vulnerable populations impacted by COVID-19 and is strongly endorsed by the California Black Health Network.", "keywords": [ "Address", "Administrative Supplement", "Adopted", "Adult", "African American", "Area", "COVID-19", "COVID-19 pandemic", "California", "Caring", "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)", "Cessation of life", "Characteristics", "Chronic", "Chronic Disease", "Church", "Collaborations", "Communities", "County", "Coupled", "Development", "Disease Outbreaks", "Elderly", "Ensure", "Event", "Face", "Goals", "Government", "Guidelines", "Health", "Health Personnel", "Health behavior", "Healthcare", "Infection", "Institution", "Intervention", "Life", "Los Angeles", "Medical", "Medicine", "Morbidity - disease rate", "Outcome", "Pattern", "Pharmaceutical Preparations", "Pharmacy facility", "Phase", "Population", "Positioning Attribute", "Prayers", "Provider", "Public Health", "Religion", "Religion and Spirituality", "Reporting", "Resources", "Risk", "Safety", "Science", "Services", "Social isolation", "Training", "Training Programs", "Translational Research", "Trust", "Universities", "Visit", "Vulnerable Populations", "Work", "avoidance behavior", "base", "community building", "comorbidity", "health care availability", "health care disparity", "health care service utilization", "medical specialties", "member", "mortality", "multidisciplinary", "multiple chronic conditions", "pandemic disease", "personalized management", "prevent", "programs", "psychological distress", "recruit", "safety net", "telehealth", "transmission process", "unhealthy lifestyle", "viral transmission", "young adult" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "7553", "attributes": { "award_id": "3U54MD007598-12S5", "title": "Accelerating Excellence in Translational Science (AXIS) - Admin Supplement", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 6822, "first_name": "Rina", "last_name": "Das", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2009-09-28", "end_date": "2024-02-29", "award_amount": 179375, "principal_investigator": { "id": 7668, "first_name": "JAYDUTT V", "last_name": "VADGAMA", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 907, "ror": "", "name": "CHARLES R.

Abstract Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science is proposing to coordinate, implement and evaluate a pilot demonstration research project targeting three hundred (300) African American and Latino homeless individuals residing in South Los Angeles who are at high risk for COVID- 19 acquisition. The goal of the study is to inform the development of a culturally competent primary healthcare program with a focus on COVID-19 screening, primary prevention education and referral services delivered by trained CDU health professionals. The purpose of the project is to 1. increase knowledge and awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on African American and Latino homeless populations residing in SPA 6, 2. provide free COVID-19 screening services utilizing the oral swab diagnostic test targeting at risk and vulnerable African American and Latino homeless populations residing in SPA 6, and 3. develop an effective enhanced case management intervention to break the chain of COVID-19 infection among at risk African Americans and Latinos residing in homeless encampments in SPA 6. This is a cross-sectional observational study, whereby the study participants will receive direct primary healthcare services from a newly funded Street Medicine project called the “Mobile Health Outreach Project” (MoHOP). MoHOP staff, which will include a physician, Family Medicine Residents, Physician Assistants, and graduate students enrolled in the University's Masters in Bio-Medical Sciences and Masters in Public Health programs, will travel with the clinicians to homeless encampments in SPA 6. During this street outreach, we plan to offer free COVID-19 screening services as well as provide COVID-19 primary prevention services in order to mitigate the further spread of COVID-19 among this vulnerable population. Data will be collected from study participants utilizing a baseline pre-test questionnaire to collect the following information: 1. socio-demographic data, 2. data on the study participants' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and risk reduction behaviors concerning COVID-19, 3. data to assess the participants' knowledge of the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 infection, 4. data regarding the study participants' knowledge of measures to prevent COVID-19 infection, including effective measures to quarantine and isolate individuals testing positive for COVID-19, 5. data on whether or not the study participants are knowledgeable about existing resources in the South Los Angeles community to obtain COVID-19 screening, and 6. data on how to manage stress and/or depression due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A Core Team, composed of Professor Cynthia Davis, the PI on the project and Dr. Alexander Rogers, the PI of the CDU MoHOP Street Medicine Project and Co-investigator on the project, and Co-Investigator and faculty member, Danielle Campbell will lead the project. Mr. Francisco Perez, Executive Director of Granada on Broadway, a local non-profit agency serving the homeless in South Los Angeles, will assist with the planning, coordination, implementation and evaluation of the proposed study. The Core Team will participate in weekly telephone conference calls in addition to communicating daily via email communications. Dr. Rogers will serve as the Preceptor for the COM Family Medicine Residents, COSH Physician Assistant students and COSH Masters in Public Health and Masters in Bio-Medical Sciences students who will be completing their community service, Practicum and/or Thesis requirements by volunteering on the MoHOP Street Medicine Project as part of the CDU Advantage curriculum activities. A Community Advisory Board (CAB) will be established to help guide all phases of the proposed study.", "keywords": [ "Adult", "Advocate", "African American", "Age-Years", "Area", "Attitude", "Awareness", "Belief", "COVID-19", "COVID-19 pandemic", "Case Management", "Clinical", "Communication", "Communities", "Community Outreach", "Community Services", "County", "Data", "Development", "Diagnostic tests", "Educational Curriculum", "Educational Materials", "Electronic Mail", "Enrollment", "Evaluation", "Faculty", "Family Practice", "Funding", "Goals", "Health Professional", "Homelessness", "Individual", "Infection", "Intervention", "Knowledge", "Latino", "Lead", "Linguistics", "Los Angeles", "Measures", "Medicine", "Mental Depression", "Minor", "Observational Study", "Oral", "Participant", "Phase", "Physician Assistants", "Physicians", "Policy Maker", "Population", "Prevention education", "Primary Health Care", "Primary Prevention", "Private Sector", "Public Health", "Public Policy", "Public Sector", "Quarantine", "Questionnaires", "Research Personnel", "Research Project Grants", "Resources", "Risk", "Risk Reduction Behavior", "Science", "Services", "Signs and Symptoms", "Students", "Swab", "Telephone", "Testing", "Training", "Translational Research", "Travel", "United States", "Universities", "Vulnerable Populations", "comorbidity", "diagnostic screening", "ethnic minority population", "follow-up", "graduate student", "health care service", "high risk", "mHealth", "member", "outreach", "prevent", "prevention service", "professor", "programs", "racial and ethnic", "referral services", "research study", "screening", "service utilization", "sociodemographics", "stress management", "symposium", "volunteer" ], "approved": true } } ], "meta": { "pagination": { "page": 1383, "pages": 1424, "count": 14236 } } }
