While carbon-based electrodes have been applied in a wide range of electrochemical sensor applications, electron transfer rates are small, leading to rather poor electrochemical activity, and existing commercially available electrochemical sensing platforms vary greatly in reactivity and general performance. Graphene has emerged in recent years as a promising alternative material for the development of electrochemical biosensors with high sensitivity and specificity. In the proposed program FGS materials formulations will be developed for detecting specific biologically relevant analytes. This project will examine the effect of graphene chemistry on electrochemical activity and utilizing specific bio-active decoration of the graphene sheets to optimize electrochemical properties and allow for the efficient design and optimal working performance of the biosensor. The proposed technology is anticipated to exhibit a combination of outstanding beneficial properties, such as high electroactivity, good biocompatibility, and versatility in many different sensing tasks. \n\nThe broader impact/commercial potential of this project is the availability of a biosensor that improves the performance of existing glucose biosensors and opens opportunities for new sensor product lines for other analyte assays where the current carbon materials cannot provide the needed performance. The global biosensor market forecasted to grow by 11.5 % over the next several years, reaching $14 billion by 2016, with home diagnostics and point of care biosensor markets comprising $2.8 billion and $6.3 billion respectively of the total market share. Glucose biosensors account for 30-35 % of the world biosensor market revenues, and biosensors for other analyst detection such as cholesterol, proteins, etc, are also predicted to rapidly expand, with forecasted growth of 19 %. If successful, the anticipated electrochemical activity of the new graphene-based biosensor technology is expected to make it a compelling choice to improve sensitivity and performance of current carbon-based biosensors. Furthermore, the science and engineering aspects of this project especially with regards to electroactivity of graphene and functionalized graphene will be of broad interest within the scientific community and improve the general understanding of graphene-based electrochemical systems.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4663", "attributes": { "award_id": "1451136", "title": "Workshop on Mathematical Biology and Nonlinear Analysis", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS)", "MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2014-09-01", "end_date": "2015-08-31", "award_amount": 10800, "principal_investigator": { "id": 16141, "first_name": "George", "last_name": "Cosner", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 647, "ror": "https://ror.org/02dgjyy92", "name": "University of Miami", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "FL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 16138, "first_name": "Yuan", "last_name": "Lou", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 16139, "first_name": "Wenxian", "last_name": "Shen", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 16140, "first_name": "Shigui", "last_name": "Ruan", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 647, "ror": "https://ror.org/02dgjyy92", "name": "University of Miami", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "FL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This is a proposal to provide travel support for ten U.S. based junior researchers to attend the Workshop on Mathematical Biology and Nonlinear Analysis, which will be held at the Coral Gables campus of the University of Miami, December 19-21, 2014. \n\nThe Workshop will focus on the applications of mathematical methods for studying nonlinear equations that model biological processes, especially in ecology, epidemiology, and evolutionary theory.

Spaeth's U.S. Supreme Court Judicial Database. This holds for research conducted by social scientists and, increasingly, by legal academics; and it holds for quantitative and qualitative studies, as well as those more descriptive in nature. In fact, several inventories of peer-reviewed journals show that it is the rare article on the Court that derives its data from an alternative source. Monographs published by top presses also regularly rely on the Database, and the many numerical studies of the Court receiving public attention in recent years have made liberal use of the data it houses. Spaeth's product is one of those rare creatures in the law and social science world: an invention that has substantially advanced a large area of study. Without question, the Database has empowered scholars in many disciplines to conduct original, path-breaking research of the highest intellectual merit.\n\nAnd yet, however invaluable the Database, it is now starting to show its age. Along these lines, we see two major sets of issues. First, for many scholars and their students the Database is diffcult to use. Second, the Database|with its emphasis on the modern (post-1946) Court has not kept pace with scholarly interests. Historical institutionalism and its various subsets have pushed scholars to broaden their time horizons. Within the field of public law, analysts have created a veritable cottage industry devoted to studies of the Court of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Even judicial specialists who ground their work in the 21st century are beginning to apply modern social science methodologies to historical data, with the goals of testing theories of institutional development and illuminating current-day practices and patterns. \n\nWith prior support from the National Science Foundation, we have addressed the first concern and brought the Database in line with 21st century technology. We now address address the second issue. Specifically, we broaden the Database's scope by adding many more cases: the 19,675 resolved between 1792, the year of the Court's first published decision and 1946, the earliest year in the current Database. Our hope is that systematic, historical data on the Court will create an even more valuable a public, multi-user Database that will stimulate scholars and their students to explore new avenues of inquiry, as well as to revisit enduring questions that have yet to be addressed with reliable and valid data. In short, the project not only facilitates scholarship of the highest level of intellectual merit; it also has a broader impact on the community of scholars studying the Court by providing a highly reliable, comprehensive, and adaptable Database.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "10403", "attributes": { "award_id": "2149551", "title": "Deep learning-based serological test for point-of-care analysis of COVID-19 immunity with a paper-based multiplexed sensor", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Engineering (ENG)", "CCSS-Comms Circuits & Sens Sys" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-09-15", "end_date": "2025-08-31", "award_amount": 393222, "principal_investigator": { "id": 4172, "first_name": "Aydogan", "last_name": "Ozcan", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 151, "ror": "", "name": "University of California-Los Angeles", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 151, "ror": "", "name": "University of California-Los Angeles", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Deep learning-based serological test for point-of-care analysis of COVID-19 immunity with a paper-based multiplexed sensor\n\nAbstract: \n\nCOVID-19, caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 12, 2020. Diagnostic testing has been a critical focus of the response, with an urgent need to rapidly develop, scale, and distribute new tests. Despite all the successful testing methods developed for the direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material, there is still an urgent need to create new serological assays that can detect virus-specific antibodies as they can ascertain complementary information to direct detection methods by indicating previous exposure and potential immunity, especially important due to various emerging variants. In addition, as vaccines against new variants roll out, these serological tests can be used to evaluate the efficacy of vaccination campaigns, including the ability to elicit SARS-CoV-2 and variant antigen-specific antibodies across vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. In contrast to the current direct detection methods, serology tests that detect antibodies can be low-cost and conducive to a point-of-care (POC) setting, enabling broad screening efforts like widespread immunity testing to indicate individuals in need of vaccine boosters, qualify individuals for travel, return to work, and/or identify convalescent plasma donors. To serve this urgent need, this project will create a smartphone-based, cost-effective platform that can sense and measure the many different antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 a person may develop, in a testing format that is easy to use and can be completed within 15 min using an inexpensive paper-based test. \n\nThe team of researchers will develop a multiplexed POC immunoassay and serodiagnostic algorithm that will infer the vaccination/immunity status from up to 10 unique immunoreactions to distinguish an array of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. For this, the research team will create a multiplexed vertical flow assay (xVFA) to simultaneously detect IgA, IgM, and IgG antibodies to the S protein (as well as variants of the S protein, such as delta, lambda, and other emerging variants), with separate immunoreaction sites dedicated to S-1, S-2, and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the S-protein in the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its most recent variants. Using existing and de-identified human serum samples, with the xVFA platform, the research team will screen COVID-19-positive samples, including those resulting from common variants (confirmed through reverse transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction and sequencing) along with vaccinated samples and pre-pandemic un-vaccinated negative control samples. A neural network will then be trained using quantitative information from the multiplexed immunoreactions and the ground-truth clinical state over a set of remnant human serum samples. This training phase will (1) create a serodiagnostic algorithm to identify a positive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection (including common variants) or vaccination status using the multiplexed antibody measurements, and (2) identify the key subset of antibody-antigen interactions that most accurately represent and quantify an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection or protection via vaccination. A blinded testing phase will benchmark the performance enhancement of the multiplexed and data-driven approach to rigorously validate the trained inference network's generalization. By validating a new multiplexed vertical flow assay and serodiagnosis algorithm for COVID-19 immune protection, the research team aims to determine the significant improvements in sensitivity and specificity gained through the multiple measurements and computational analysis, which come with little added cost or operational steps, or required sample volume. This project will also establish a complementary educational outreach program that will involve (1) public interviews and popular science articles in news media and the internet; (2) undergraduate research opportunities involving underrepresented students; and (3) graduate student training through the organization of workshops, seminars and conferences.\n\nThis 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.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "10725", "attributes": { "award_id": "1IK2RX003790-01A2", "title": "Neuromodulation for Rehabilitation of Post-Stroke Fatigue: An rTMS Pilot Study", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-11-01", "end_date": "2027-10-31", "award_amount": null, "principal_investigator": { "id": 26774, "first_name": "John Harvey", "last_name": "Kindred", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 1782, "ror": "", "name": "RALPH H JOHNSON VA MEDICAL CENTER", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "SC", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The long-term goal of this proposed career development award (CDA-2) is to accelerate my training and development so that I can establish an independent line of research unraveling the causes and consequences of fatigue and to develop effective evidence-based therapies for fatigue in Veterans with neurological conditions. Before my collegiate studies, I served nine years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps and received an Honorable Discharge upon the expiration of my service contract. I completed my Ph.D. in Human Bioenergetics at Colorado State University in 2017. Upon graduation, I began a post-doctoral position at the Medical University of South Carolina working with Dr. Mark G. Bowden, PT, Ph.D. Shortly after starting my post- doc position, I acquired a WOC appointment at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center and was awarded a VA Rehabilitation Research and Development Career Development Award – 1 that began in Oct 2019. Since the beginning of my research journey, I have published 22 peer-reviewed manuscripts, 12 as the first author. My most recent publications have centered on measuring the neurophysiological state of the nervous system and relating that state to post-stroke disability. These most recent manuscripts are based on data collected at the laboratories at Ralph H. Johnson before my arrival and the co-authors include several of the members of this proposal’s mentorship team. Upon completing my CDA-1 (end date Sep 30, 2021), I have focused my attention on the neurophysiological biomarkers of post-stroke fatigue. This CDA-2 proposal will provide me with the opportunity to learn new neurophysiological assessment methods and advance my knowledge and ability to apply neuromodulatory treatments. These skills will provide me the foundation to build an independent VA- backed research program focusing on reducing the impact of fatigue in Veterans with an array of neurological conditions. The assembled mentorship team is composed of experts in post-stroke rehabilitation, neuromodulation, neuroimaging, and clinical assessment. Up to 92% of people post-stroke experience fatigue. Fatigue negatively affects physical and mental performance leading to a lower quality of life. Fatigue is also present in many other neurological populations within the Veteran community, such as traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and the newly coined phenomenon of Long-COVID. Advances in the knowledge and understanding of post-stroke fatigue are likely to lead to advances in other clinical populations within the Veteran community. The first aim is to test the effects of a well-established neuromodulatory therapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), on reducing the severity of post-stroke fatigue. This aim is predicated on theoretical principles obtained from the study of other neuro-psychiatric/-cognitive disorders and therapeutic attempts to reduce fatigue in other neurological illnesses. Participating Veterans will receive high-frequency rTMS to the frontal lobe, either the left prefrontal dorsolateral cortex or bilaterally to the motor cortices. These locations have been implicated in fatigue in other neurological conditions. I expect to show rTMS can be used to reduce post-stroke fatigue severity. However, the effectiveness and location of treatment may partially be dependent on individual characteristics. The second aim of the study is based on the skills and knowledge developed in the CDA-1, I plan on identifying additional neurophysiological biomarkers of fatigue. In this project, I will assess glutamatergic activity/signaling of the upper and lower extremity sensorimotor network of Veterans with and without post-stroke fatigue. I expect to show that the fatigued group will show glutamatergic dysfunction, measured by greater asymmetries in intracortical facilitation and the facilitatory response to paired associative stimulation, compared to the non-fatigued group. Identification of glutamate and related metabolites as a pathophysiological contributor to post-stroke fatigue may help in the development of new therapeutic approaches for post-stroke fatigue and fatigue in other neurological conditions.", "keywords": [ "Affect", "American Heart Association", "Anxiety", "Appointment", "Attention", "Award", "Back", "Behavior", "Bilateral", "Bioenergetics", "Biological Markers", "Caregivers", "Characteristics", "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", "Clinical", "Clinical assessments", "Cognition Disorders", "Coin", "Colorado", "Communities", "Contract Services", "Data", "Development", "Doctor of Philosophy", "Effectiveness", "Environment", "Evidence based treatment", "FDA approved", "Fatigue", "Foundations", "Frequencies", "Functional disorder", "Glutamates", "Goals", "Human", "Individual", "Intervention", "K-Series Research Career Programs", "Knowledge", "Laboratories", "Lead", "Learning", "Left", "Lesion", "Location", "Long COVID", "Lower Extremity", "Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy", "Manuscripts", "Measures", "Medical", "Medical center", "Mental Depression", "Mental disorders", "Mentorship", "Methods", "Motor", "Motor Cortex", "Multiple Sclerosis", "Nature", "Nervous System Physiology", "Nervous system structure", "Neuraxis", "Neurocognitive", "Neurologic", "Peer Review", "Performance", "Persons", "Pharmacology", "Physical Function", "Physical activity", "Physiologic pulse", "Pilot Projects", "Play", "Population", "Positioning Attribute", "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders", "Postdoctoral Fellow", "Prefrontal Cortex", "Prevalence", "Psyche structure", "Publications", "Publishing", "Quality of life", "Recording of previous events", "Rehabilitation therapy", "Research", "Research Personnel", "Role", "Scientist", "Services", "Severities", "Signal Transduction", "South Carolina", "Stroke", "Structure", "System", "Testing", "Therapeutic", "Training", "Transcranial magnetic stimulation", "Traumatic Brain Injury", "United States", "Universities", "Update", "Upper Extremity", "Veterans", "Veterans Health Administration", "Work", "active duty", "base", "career", "career development", "chronic stroke", "cognitive function", "college", "cost", "disability", "effective intervention", "effective therapy", "efficacy testing", "evidence base", "experience", "expiration", "frontal lobe", "improved", "insight", "member", "military veteran", "multidisciplinary", "negative affect", "nervous system disorder", "neural circuit", "neuroimaging", "neurophysiology", "neuropsychiatry", "neuroregulation", "noninvasive brain stimulation", "novel", "novel therapeutic intervention", "post stroke", "programs", "psychologic", "rehabilitation re" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5444", "attributes": { "award_id": "0554749", "title": "U.S. Japan Workshop on Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "Catalyzing New Intl Collab" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2006-03-15", "end_date": "2009-02-28", "award_amount": 52800, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18997, "first_name": "K.

Completion of this project will provide high-affinity monoclonal antibodies that allow investigators to distinguish innate and adaptive inflammatory cytokine and chemokine responses as well as activated T cells, memory T cells, tissue resident memory T cells, and regulatory T cells in the hamster models of infectious diseases.", "keywords": [ "2019-nCoV", "Affinity", "Cell surface", "Cells", "Communicable Diseases", "Generations", "Hamsters", "Immunity", "Immunization", "Immunologics", "Inflammatory", "Influenza", "Memory", "Modeling", "Monoclonal Antibodies", "Mus", "Proteins", "Reagent", "Recombinant Proteins", "Recombinants", "Regulatory T-Lymphocyte", "Research Personnel", "Respiratory Tract Infections", "Serum", "Small Business Innovation Research Grant", "T memory cell", "T-Cell Activation", "T-Lymphocyte", "Testing", "Tissue Sample", "Tissues", "Validation", "Viral Pathogenesis", "chemokine", "cytokine", "infectious disease model", "preclinical study", "response", "vaccine development" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5207", "attributes": { "award_id": "0923383", "title": "Galactic Center Workshop 2009: A Window Into the Nuclear Environment of Galaxies; October 2009; Shanghai, China", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "GALACTIC ASTRONOMY PROGRAM" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2009-09-01", "end_date": "2011-08-31", "award_amount": 50000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18437, "first_name": "Cornelia", "last_name": "Lang", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 220, "ror": "https://ror.org/036jqmy94", "name": "University of Iowa", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 220, "ror": "https://ror.org/036jqmy94", "name": "University of Iowa", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This award will support travel and local expenses for United States students and early career scientists to attend the international workshop \"Galactic Center Workshop 2009: A Window into the Nuclear Environment of Galaxies\", to be held on October 19-23, 2009 in Shanghai, China. The purpose of the workshop is to highlight the recent research results on the center of the Milky Way and the nuclear regions of nearby galaxies. This conference is the latest in a series of scientific workshops held every 3-4 years on this topical area. Recent highlights include the high-resolution and sensitive new surveys of the Galactic Center interstellar medium at wavelengths from X-ray through radio, new constraints on the size and structure of the super massive black hole source, Sgr A*, and the most recent results from coordinated monitoring campaigns of this source. The workshop will also emphasize the relationship between the physical processes occurring in our own Galactic Center and those happening in the nuclei of the nearest galaxies. The format of the meetings will include substantial time for discussion in addition to the scheduled talks. These discussions, moderated by leading researchers in the field, will focus on the implications of the current results presented in the sessions and future directions for inquiry.\n\nThis workshop serves to promote Galactic Center astronomy in wider academic circles and on an international effort. The funding from this award will support the travel costs of as many as 20 junior researchers - graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and junior faculty members - to attend this international scientific workshop. Travel support will give young and active members of the scientific community the opportunity to attend what will certainly be a very interesting and informative workshop at an early stage in their scientific careers. In addition, the participants will be exposed to the breadth of astronomical activities occurring in China. A diverse group of speakers and participants will be recruited for this workshop in order to represent the diversity of research currently being carried out on this topic.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "3973", "attributes": { "award_id": "1725413", "title": "MRI: Acquisition of a Multipoint Laser Vibrometer for Studying Multiscale and Nonstationary Dynamics of Materials and Complex Structures", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "Major Research Instrumentation" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2017-10-01", "end_date": "2020-09-30", "award_amount": 470250, "principal_investigator": { "id": 13200, "first_name": "Melih", "last_name": "Eriten", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 263, "ror": "", "name": "University of Wisconsin-Madison", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "WI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 13199, "first_name": "Matthew S", "last_name": "Allen", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 263, "ror": "", "name": "University of Wisconsin-Madison", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "WI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This Major Research Instrumentation award supports the acquisition of a Multipoint Laser Vibrometer (MPV800) system to enable potentially transformative research in civil and mechanical engineering, materials, and biomedical engineering. The MPV800 system tracks transient and random vibrations and structural deformations, allowing researchers to monitor the dynamic response of materials, components and systems with challenging geometries and soft materials, such as biological tissues. The MPV 800 also monitors nonlinear vibration and wave propagation. Researchers will gain an enhanced understanding of the dynamic behavior of complex systems that can lead to advances in early-diagnosis of disease, more reliable 3D printing processes and the development of novel materials and structures with enhanced resilience. The MPV800 system will also be used in laboratory projects to educate the next generation of vibration engineers and outreach events for industry and the public.\n\nThe MPV800 laser vibrometer with 5-optical units and 40 fiber heads enables noncontact and full-field vibration measurements up to 0.5 mm spatial resolution, and bandwidth ranging from several Hz to 100 kHz. This new system also uses a wavelength of 1550 nm for higher reflectance and lower noise in testing soft and hard materials, even materials with high water content such as biological tissues, swollen polymers and hydrogels. A total of 10 major users will use the system to measure the dynamic response of soft, porous, multiphasic, and hard materials with an unprecedented range and resolution in time and space. The MPV800 system will provide essential measurements to update models of sophisticated assemblies in civil and aerospace applications. It will also be used for noncontact characterization and structural health monitoring of 3D printed parts and tissue scaffolds. Analysis of wave propagation in cartilage and tendons will reveal new insights on the high loading-rate response of those tissues and the tissue behavior that leads to osteoarthritis.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } } ], "meta": { "pagination": { "page": 3, "pages": 1405, "count": 14046 } } }
