The reproducibility of findings and the meta-analysis of pooled data from disparate sources are both catalyzed by standard approaches to acquiring and representing data. In this context, the PhenX (consensus measures for Phenotypes and eXposures) Toolkit (https://www.phenxtoolkit.org/) is an increasingly valuable catalog of standard measures and bioinformatics tools that help investigators improve the quality and consistency of data collection and identify opportunities for collaborative research. Measures in the PhenX Toolkit are selected by working groups (WGs) of domain experts using a consensus process and criteria established by the PhenX Steering Committee (SC). Since its launch, PhenX has expanded beyond standard measures for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of common, complex diseases to include domains such as Rare Genetic Conditions, Sickle Cell Disease, and Tobacco Regulatory Research. The specific aims of the proposed Administrative Supplement “PhenX Measures for COVID-19” are as follows: Specific Aim 1: Develop COVID-19 Core and Specialty collections. Specific Aim 2: Develop features and tools for the COVID-19 page. Specific Aim 3: Establish PhenX measurement protocols for COVID-19 outcomes. The crowd-sourcing approach defined here will rapidly establish COVID-19 Core and Specialty Collections and raise awareness of the COVID-19 measurement protocols available in the PhenX Toolkit.Body Text (no more than 30 lines)", "keywords": [ "Administrative Supplement", "Adolescent", "All of Us Research Program", "Area", "Award", "Awareness", "Bioinformatics", "Biomedical Research", "Brain", "COVID-19", "Catalogs", "Child Health", "Clinical Research", "Collaborations", "Collection", "Common Data Element", "Communities", "Community Outreach", "Complex", "Consensus", "Data", "Data Collection", "Data Pooling", "Development", "Disease", "Enrollment", "Ensure", "Epidemiologist", "Etiology", "Genetic Diseases", "Genomics", "Grant", "International", "Intervention", "Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes", "Longitudinal Studies", "Measurement", "Measures", "Mental Health", "Meta-Analysis", "National Human Genome Research Institute", "Outcome", "Phenotype", "Process", "Protocols documentation", "Recommendation", "Reproducibility of Results", "Research", "Research Design", "Research Methodology", "Research Personnel", "Resources", "Science", "Sickle Cell Anemia", "Social Distance", "Source", "Symptoms", "Text", "Tobacco", "Translational Research", "U-Series Cooperative Agreements", "United States", "United States National Library of Medicine", "Vaccines", "base", "behavioral/social science", "bioinformatics tool", "cognitive development", "crowdsourcing", "data dictionary", "data harmonization", "data interoperability", "data sharing", "database of Genotypes and Phenotypes", "electronic data", "genome wide association study", "genome-wide analysis", "improved", "medical specialties", "member", "multidisciplinary", "recruit", "response", "social science research", "standard measure", "tool", "usability", "volunteer", "working group" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4744", "attributes": { "award_id": "1262744", "title": "REU Site in Cellular and Molecular Biology at Sanford Research and Augustana College", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "RSCH EXPER FOR UNDERGRAD SITES" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2013-06-15", "end_date": "2017-05-31", "award_amount": 330857, "principal_investigator": { "id": 16447, "first_name": "David", "last_name": "Pearce", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 1331, "ror": "", "name": "Sanford Research/USD", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "SD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 16446, "first_name": "Seasson", "last_name": "Vitiello", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 1331, "ror": "", "name": "Sanford Research/USD", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "SD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to Sanford Research/USD in collaboration with Augustana College to provide research training for 10 students, for 10 weeks during the summers of 2013-2015. The Augustana College REU Site in Cell and Molecular Biology focuses on cell and molecular biology, with hypothesis-driven projects that include investigation of cell signaling events via characterization of macromolecular interactions and proteomic, genomic, and metabolomic changes across a variety of model organisms. REU students will directly contribute to the understanding of these areas of research. Sanford Research and Augustana College have 19 research mentors with exciting, hands-on projects that range from neuroscience to yeast biology. Each project allows students to learn modern molecular methods. Students will also gain valuable experience by attending career development workshops that cover professional integrity in research, the graduate school application process, careers in science, GRE-preparation, the importance of increasing diversity in research, and how to balance family and career. Students will give an oral presentation of their project at the beginning of the summer, a poster presentation at the end of the summer, and are encouraged to present at and attend national meetings. REU students will be exposed to the cutting-edge facilities and equipment that are housed amongst the various departments and cores at Sanford Research and Augustana College. Recruitment is carried out directly via faculty mentor visits to the students' institutions and attendance at undergraduate conferences, along with email and social media, with an aim to reach out to students who would not usually be exposed to such an opportunity. Students are selected based upon academic record, work ethic, scientific potential, and evidence of enthusiasm for participating in cell and molecular biology research. Upon completion of the program, alumni are surveyed to measure the influence that participation in the program had on their academic performance, scientific interests, and long-term career path. The REU common assessment tool at www.bioreu.org will be used to evaluate program impacts.

The Gordon Research Conference is being held from July 14-19, 2013 at Mount Holyoke College, Hadley, MA. graduate student-led Gordon Research Seminar on Adhesion Science will be held at the same location on July 13-14. In both conferences special efforts will be made by the chairs to increase the attendance of underrepresented groups and people with disabilities.\n\nThe field of adhesion science is quite interdisciplinary, drawing on concepts from physics, chemistry, and engineering. In recent years adhesion science has rapidly expanded into the biological sciences, providing a more quantitative undestanding for a range of important\nbiological phenomena. As a result, there is great need for traditional adhesion scientists to collaborate with scientists trained in a variety of disciplines, which include the biological and biomedical sciences. The goal of the 2013 GRC (Gordon Research Conference) on Adhesion Science is to strengthen the interdisciplinary environment that has been fostered by scientists working in all areas related to adhesion science. This goal is reflected in the program which consists of sessions on structural adhesives, soft material physics and mechanics, bio-inspired adhesives, and biomaterials development. The invited speakers come from diverse backgrounds and are leading researchers in their areas of expertise.\n\nTo extend the broader impact on education, a GRS (Gordon Research Seminar) on adhesion science will be held one day before the GRC at the same location. The goal of the GRS is to provide a highly stimulating and non-intimidating environment for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to discuss their research in talks and poster sessions, and to build informal networks with their peers that may lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific achievement. The GRS is organized by a graduate student with the support of the chair and the vice chair of the GRC on Adhesion Science. All GRS participants are strongly encouraged to attend the following GRC.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4741", "attributes": { "award_id": "1300632", "title": "Nonlinear Dynamics and Bifurcations of Human Posture on Tunable Balance Boards", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 16433, "first_name": "Irina", "last_name": "Dolinskaya", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2013-06-01", "end_date": "2017-12-31", "award_amount": 550392, "principal_investigator": { "id": 16439, "first_name": "Arvind", "last_name": "Raman", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 252, "ror": "", "name": "Purdue University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IN", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 16434, "first_name": "Howard N", "last_name": "Zelaznik", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 16436, "first_name": "Shirley", "last_name": "Rietdyk", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 16438, "first_name": "Jeffrey", "last_name": "Haddad", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 252, "ror": "", "name": "Purdue University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IN", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The goal of this research is to study the dynamics of human posture on a balance board with tunable stiffness and time delay and exploit this understanding to improve the early detection of neuromuscular disease and the rehabilitation of balance compromised populations. The research will develop new mathematical models of human posture coupled to an external system and study the emergent dynamics therein; and develop a novel balance board with tunable board rotational stiffness and time delay. This tunable device will be used to assess the potential advantages of bifurcation-based approaches for the early detection of neuromuscular disorder and improved rehabilitation of younger subjects, older subjects and individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), in collaboration with the Indiana University School of Medicine. In addition an inter-generational service-learning program focused on improving balance will be developed at a local retirement home, a campus wide forum/seminar series on dynamical systems in perception, cognition, and motor control will be created, senior undergraduate students will be mentored in research projects, and the team will reach out to local MS support groups.\n\nThe development of the tunable balance board could be a major improvement in rehabilitative devices as it can manipulate and thus, explore the contribution of muscle stiffness and time delay to balance. If successful the idea of using bifurcation thresholds on the tunable balance boards as a means of indicating early stage neuromuscular disease could lead to early diagnosis of fall-propensity in frail older adults and adults with MS, Parkinson?s disease or persons suffering from traumatic brain injury. New detection and training concepts using these tunable balance boards delay could eventually be commercialized and improve quality of life of balance-compromised individuals. In addition, the substantial economic cost associated with falls, valued at over $19 billion in direct medical costs in 2000, may be reduced.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4747", "attributes": { "award_id": "1259474", "title": "Engineering Practices with Impact Cohort (EPIC) Scholarship for High Achieving Women in Engineering", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Education and Human Resources (EHR)", "S-STEM-Schlr Sci Tech Eng&Math" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 16456, "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Jackman", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2013-06-01", "end_date": "2020-05-31", "award_amount": 531885, "principal_investigator": { "id": 16459, "first_name": "Sara", "last_name": "Atwood", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 494, "ror": "https://ror.org/01y0mgq54", "name": "Elizabethtown College", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "PA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 16457, "first_name": "Kurt M", "last_name": "DeGoede", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 494, "ror": "https://ror.org/01y0mgq54", "name": "Elizabethtown College", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "PA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This project provides scholarships to enable 16 academically talented and financially needy engineering students at Elizabethtown College to obtain baccalaureate degrees and enter the STEM workforce.

In the original award period, the ARLG agenda increased scientific knowledge of antibacterial resistance and sought to mitigate important factors that drive its expansion. We continue to pair an unprecedented team of over two dozen of the world's top investigators with the organizational excellence of the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI), one of the world's largest Academic Research Organizations. Because of the complexity of integrating multiple components of such a large-scale clinical research network, our renewal continues to feature centralized leadership through an Executive Committee and a dual PI approach. One PI (Fowler) focuses primarily on operations and the other (Chambers) focuses largely on scientific agenda. The organizational structure also features Scientific Subcommittees devoted to three priority areas: Gram-negative bacterial infections, Gram-positive bacterial infections, and Diagnostics. These Subcommittees are supported by internationally recognized Collaborating Investigators to advance four core value areas: 1) Scientific Expertise; 2) Innovations; 3) Mentoring and Diversity; and 4) Network Development. To complement the ongoing research activities of both the diagnostic and the pharmaceutical industries, our ARLG has established collaborative ties with members of both communities. Our long-term research goal is to improve outcomes of multiple-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections by designing and conducting transformational diagnostic and therapeutic clinical trials. Our research portfolio will pursue this goal in therapeutics by conducting first-in kind strategy trials in MDR Gram-negative bacteria and MRSA and by studying nontraditional therapeutics (monoclonal antibodies and bacteriophages) against MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We will pursue this goal in diagnostics by obtaining FDA approval for a host gene expression-based diagnostic and by evaluating the clinical impact of rapid phenotypic testing in patients with bloodstream infection. Our research agenda reflects a realistic strategy of incremental steps towards complex practice-changing trials. Our Specific Aims are to 1) To maintain a Scientific Leadership Center (SLC) that provides overall scientific and administrative leadership for the network; 2) To maintain a Clinical Operations Center (COC) that provides operational support, management, and oversight for the network’s clinical studies and trials; 3) To maintain a Laboratory Center (LC) that advances the ARLG research agenda by leading the development, implementation, and evaluation of essential laboratory research; and 4): To maintain a Statistics and Data Management Center (SDMC) that advances the ARLG research agenda by providing leadership in biostatistics, study design, analysis, interpretation, and publication of results.

The BEST conference provides the western region of the United States with a conference in Set Theory that emphasizes diversity. The conference actively seeks to recruit and integrate student and early career dissemination of research in Set Theory and its affiliated mathematical disciplines into the conference agenda. The conference promotes interaction between different career stages in the field by also recruiting four plenary speakers. The plenary speakers for BEST 2013 are Dr. Todd Eisworth (Ohio University), Dr. Masaru Kada (Osaka Prefecture University, Japan), Thilo Weinert (University of Bonn, Germany) and Dr. Lynne Yengulalp (University of Dayton). The conference seeks to increase participation by underrepresented groups in the field.\n\nSet Theory is the foundation of Mathematics, and as such, of modeling and deductive reasoning in the natural sciences.

Technical part: The overall goal of the proposed research is to develop a single particle experimental platform for the identification and characterization of enveloped viruses based on their entry kinetics. This platform will integrate two key technologies: 1) single particle imaging of virus binding and viral-host membrane fusion of individual virion particles to a supported bilayer platform, and 2) statistical analysis of these individual events to discriminate populations based on variations in entry kinetic parameters. In this project, virus will serve as a model virus because it is one of the most studied viruses and thus the entry mechanism is well understood; its surface proteins are easily mutated and adapted to different cell types; it is well known that binding and fusion can vary among viral strains, e.g. H5 (avian) versus H3 (human) strains, and that these variations are correlated to infectivity. We propose that the rapid characterization of entry kinetics of virus samples from an infected person, made possible by the methods we employ here, can be used to determine which phenotypes the person (or a tissue sample) is infected with. In the case of influenza, this kind of rapid detection may be critical to promptly tracking the spread of virus during a pandemic outbreak or intentional release. In influenza, viral entry processes are controlled by the same protein, hemagglutinin (HA), which complicates decoupling binding from fusion in the overall entry kinetics. With current technology, it is only possible to assess separately, but not within the same virion, binding and fusion kinetics. This proposed platform discriminates between these processes within an individual virion, providing quantitative kinetic information on both processes that can then be used to identify phenotypes. Phenotype detection without PCR is currently a grand challenge in virus detection. Thus this is a potentially transformative technology that will aid in quickly discriminating among virus phenotypes in a mixed sample.\n\nNon-technical part: This proposal will develop better understanding of how influenza virus subtypes enter the cell during infection. This understanding is important and authors postulate that it may be used to discriminate more harmful from less harmful types of infleunza. This project will therefore have significant societal benefit down the road by helping develop better influenaza diagnostic tools.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4726", "attributes": { "award_id": "1310224", "title": "Travel Support for 7th International Conference on Levy Processes", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS)", "PROBABILITY" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 16379, "first_name": "Tomek", "last_name": "Bartoszynski", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2013-05-01", "end_date": "2014-04-30", "award_amount": 15000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 16380, "first_name": "Mark", "last_name": "Meerschaert", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 521, "ror": "https://ror.org/05hs6h993", "name": "Michigan State University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 521, "ror": "https://ror.org/05hs6h993", "name": "Michigan State University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The 7th International Conference on Levy Processes: Theory and Applications will be held on July 15 - 19, 2013 in Wroclaw, Poland. Levy processes are stochastic processes that evolve in continuous time on a continuous state space. They include Poisson processes, Brownian motion, and any other process with independent and stationary increments. Levy processes provide a useful class of processes with jumps for applications in many diverse fields of science and engineering, as well as many useful models in mathematics and statistics. This conference is held every other year, and brings together leading researchers in the field. There is also a strong tradition of including students and beginning reserchers, includign a \"summer school\" that precedes the meeting.\n\nThis NSF travel grant will provide financial support for attendees, with preference given to students and beginnign researchers. This technical conference brings togetherleading international researchers in random process modeling, including both deep theory and practical applications. Important applications include finance, physics, climate, and water resources. This series of conferences has become a valuable resource for students and beginning researchers, exposing them to the latest advances, and providing useful networking opportunities. There is also a \"summer school\" to prepare for the meeting, so that attendees can clearly understand the advanced topics.
