But despite the fact that scientists know that adolescence is understood and experienced differently in different cultures and societies, most studies of adolescents have taken place in Western societies. Therefore, much remains unknown about this significant period of human development. For this reason, anthropologists have recently directed increased attention to studying adolescents cross-culturally. This particular award is to a research team who ask a particularly important and timely question about the adolescent years: what are the effects of growing up in a violent environment? Unfortunately, violence is part of the daily reality for many adolescents around the world, including many in the United States. Examining the effects of violence on the adolescent years in a non-Western context will allow social scientists and policy makers to differentiate between effects that are local and cultural, and those that are universal, which is essential for developing effective strategies for buffering the effects of violence on adolescents wherever they might live. \n\nThe research team is comprised of cultural anthropologist Dr. Bilinda S. Straight (Western Michigan University) and biological anthropologist Dr. Ivy L. Pike (University of Arizona). The research will be carried out in a conflict-ridden pastoralist zone of East Africa where the researchers have previously collected comparative, longitudinal data on 215 households in pastoralist communities that vary by their exposure to violence. The researchers will build on that data with a sample of 660 young people. They will (1) examine the daily movements of adolescent girls and boys (ages 10-19) between settlement and pasture, cattle camp, and other activity sites; (2) monitor energy expenditure with fitness tracking devices and activity recall combined with nutritional assessments using anthropometry and dietary recall; (3) measure adolescent psychosocial stress through multiple bio-markers, validated assessment instruments, and intensive ethnographic interviews; and (4) elicit the choices, explanations, and emotions of adolescent boys and girls in the context of their varied daily experiences.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4173", "attributes": { "award_id": "1608537", "title": "The new identity of galectin-3 as a glycosaminoglycan binding protein", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "Chemistry of Life Processes" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2016-09-01", "end_date": "2021-08-31", "award_amount": 420965, "principal_investigator": { "id": 14049, "first_name": "Tarun", "last_name": "Dam", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 512, "ror": "https://ror.org/0036rpn28", "name": "Michigan Technological University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 512, "ror": "https://ror.org/0036rpn28", "name": "Michigan Technological University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Glycan-binding proteins are crucial for a wide range of biological processes. They belong to two distinct groups: lectins and glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-binding proteins (GAGBPs). A member of one group rarely possesses the characteristics of both groups. The human lectin Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a member of the first group. This project is based on the finding that Gal-3, a lectin, actually possesses characteristics of a GAGBP. The current study investigates these newly-discovered characteristics of Gal-3. The research is integrated with educational activities through an initiative called \"From Bench to Blackboard.\" This initiative introduces glycobiology to high school students and K-12 teachers through lab- and web-based approaches. The anticipated results from the proposed work is revealing hitherto unknown properties of Gal-3 and will inspire new research activities involving Gal-3 and GAGs.\n\nGal-3 is one of the most extensively studied human lectins but it has never been reported as a GAGBP. However, preliminary data for this study show that Gal-3 binds to sulfated GAGs and proteoglycans. The proposed research elucidates the detailed interactions of Gal-3 with GAGs and proteoglycans. The length and sulfation level of GAGs, that are optimal for binding by Gal-3, are determined by calorimetry and spectroscopy. The GAG binding site of Gal-3 is being delineated with the use of site directed mutagenesis. Various biophysical techniques are employed to study non-covalent cross-linking of Gal-3 by GAGs and proteoglycans. In addition, competitive cross-linking of Gal-3 by GAGs and glycoproteins is also being examined. Information obtained from this research is redefining the binding properties of Gal-3 and providing a foundation for discovering Gal-3 dependent cellular and extracellular functions of GAGs and proteoglycans.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4583", "attributes": { "award_id": "1362098", "title": "19th Lexical-Functional Grammar Conference", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "Linguistics" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2014-03-01", "end_date": "2015-02-28", "award_amount": 12199, "principal_investigator": { "id": 15814, "first_name": "Damir", "last_name": "Cavar", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 1310, "ror": "https://ror.org/02ehshm78", "name": "Eastern Michigan University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 15813, "first_name": "Malgorzata", "last_name": "Cavar", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 1310, "ror": "https://ror.org/02ehshm78", "name": "Eastern Michigan University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This award provides support for the 19th Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) Conference, to be held July 17-19, 2014 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A central goal of the LFG framework is to create a model of grammar which is sufficiently sophisticated for theoretical linguists to formulate a model of natural language, but which can also be used in theoretical and applied areas of computational linguistics and natural language processing. Because of its formal rigor, LFG has been used as the theoretical basis of various machine translation tools, for example, AppTek's TranSphere, and the Julietta Research Group's Lekta. The annual conference is the largest annual LFG meeting, offering a venue for the exchange of ideas, and fostering cooperation for theoretical and computational linguists. It has a truly international outreach, with participants coming from Europe, Asia, Australia, and America. This will be the first LFG conference held in the USA since 2007. \n\nThe leitmotif of the 2014 conference is \"Language Documentation and Linguistic Theory.\" It will provide a platform for the discussion of the role of linguistic theories (LFG and other generative models, e.g. Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) and the Minimalist Program) in language documentation and descriptive linguistic research. The possibility of using theoretically motivated computational environments (e.g. Finite State Morphologies or syntactic parsers) for ongoing efforts in the domain of under-resourced and endangered languages research is highly relevant in the context of many projects seeking to document and maintain endangered languages. The conference will be followed by a one-day ParGram workshop, and a one-day workshop on unbounded dependencies in LFG.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "4290", "attributes": { "award_id": "1649310", "title": "NSF INCLUDES: Early Engagement in Research: key to STEM retention", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "NSF INCLUDES" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2016-10-01", "end_date": "2021-09-30", "award_amount": 299995, "principal_investigator": { "id": 14561, "first_name": "Robert", "last_name": "Newton", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 196, "ror": "https://ror.org/00hj8s172", "name": "Columbia University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NY", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 14557, "first_name": "Einat", "last_name": "Lev", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 14558, "first_name": "Matthew", "last_name": "Palmer", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 14559, "first_name": "Margie", "last_name": "Turrin", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 14560, "first_name": "Luo Cassie", "last_name": "Xu", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 196, "ror": "https://ror.org/00hj8s172", "name": "Columbia University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NY", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This is a two-year \"Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science\" (INCLUDES) Design and Development Launch Pilot targeting high school students in the Hudson Valley, including the New York Metropolitan Area. It will support a network of institutional partners that are committed to providing internship and mentoring opportunities to youths interested in authentic research projects. The proposed work will build on a current research immersion program--the Secondary School Field Research Program (SSFRP) at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. SSFRP serves high school students, mainly from underrepresented and underserved communities, who work with college students, science teachers, and researchers around a specific science problem. Over the past decade, the program has had demonstrable impact, including attendance to college, and students' selection of STEM majors. Tracking data indicates that retention rates of its alumni in four-year colleges are well above the norm, and a significant fraction of early participants are now in graduate programs in science or engineering. The program has surpassed all expectations in its effectiveness at engaging underserved populations in science and promoting entry into college, recruitment into STEM majors, and retention through undergraduate and into graduate studies. Hence, the project's overall goal will be to extend and adapt the research-immersive summer internship model through an alliance with peer research institutions, school districts and networks, public land and resource management agencies, private funding agencies, informal educational institutions, and experts in pedagogical modeling, metrics, and evaluation. Focused on earth and environmental sciences, the summer and year-round mentoring model will allow high school students to work in research teams led by college students and teachers under the direction of research scientists. The mentoring model will be multilayered, with peer, near-peer, and researcher-student relationships interweaving throughout the learning process. \n\nThe project has formulated a set of testable explanatory hypotheses: (1) Beyond specific subject knowledge, success rests on increased student engagement in a community of practice, with near-peer mentors, teachers, and scientists in the context of scientific research; (2) The intensity of engagement also shifts the students' vision of their future to include higher education, and specifically to imagine and move toward a STEM career; and (3) Early engagement, before students attend college, is critical because high school is where students form patterns of engagement and capacities related to science learning. Thus, the immediate goal of the two-year plan will be to create approximately 11 research internship programs focused on earth and environmental sciences, and to build the networks for growth through engagement with a wider community of educational partners. The main focus of this approach will be removing barriers between high school students and STEM organizations, and adapting the current mentoring model at Columbia University to the specific cultures of other research groups and internship programs throughout the lower Hudson Valley. The team has already assembled a diverse set of partners committed to broadening participation in STEM using a collective impact approach to early engagement in project-based learning. Research partners will provide the mentors, research projects, and laboratory facilities. The educational network partners will provide access for students, particularly those from under-resourced communities to participate, as well as participation opportunities for interested teachers. Informal learning organizations will provide access to field and research sites, along with research dissemination opportunities. In Year 1, the project will conduct a series of development workshops for partners already in place and foster the formation of new partnership clusters according to shared interest, complementary resources and geographic proximity. The workshops will provide a forum for partners to learn about each other's visions, values, challenges, and existing structures, while working through theoretical and practical issues related to STEM engagement for young investigators. In Year 2, the project will target the implementation of the internship programs at various sites according to the agreed-upon goals, program model, research projects, recruitment and retention strategy, staff training, data collection, and evaluation plans. An external evaluator will address both the formative and summative evaluation of the effort directed toward examining the three project?s hypotheses concerning the educational impacts of scientific research on student engagement, extent of the immersion, and overall effectiveness of the programs.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "10793", "attributes": { "award_id": "1UM2HD111076-01", "title": "Baylor College of Medicine Site Consortium - Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions (ATN) Operations and Collaborations Center (UM2 Clinical Trial Optional)", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-09-22", "end_date": "2029-06-30", "award_amount": 308382, "principal_investigator": { "id": 26869, "first_name": "MARY E", "last_name": "PAUL", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 849, "ror": "", "name": "WESTAT, INC.", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Baylor College of Medicine Harris County, which includes the City of Houston, is among the 48 counties in the United States (U.S.) in which more than 50 percent of new HIV diagnoses occur. There is an urgent need for innovative and collaborative new approaches to HIV treatment and prevention in adolescents and young adults (AYA) in Houston. The long-term goal of this research is to move the U.S. and Houston area closer to ending the HIV epidemic by addressing the issues involved in successful prevention and treatment of HIV in AYA. These goals align with Adolescent Trials Network (ATN) research objectives and Houston Consortium partnerships will allow research to be conducted in AYA in all five priority areas of the ATN: improving HIV testing, preventing new infections, engaging youth in care, improving treatment and treatment effectiveness, and reducing adverse HIV health outcomes due to COVID-19. We plan to accomplish the following specific aims as a site for HIV care, research, and prevention in AYA. Aim 1 – Conduct the Trials of the ATN as identified by the ATN Executive Committee (EC) and Scientific Leadership Committee (SLC): Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) ATN site has a longstanding research unit with staff with years of experience working with AYA, both in a clinical trials settings and in the community, who are living with HIV (LWH) or are at risk for HIV. Aim 2 – Participate in the Development of Trials: BCM's ATN Project Lead and staff have years of experience in development and conducting of clinical trials in AYA and so will work in collaboration with the ATN Operations and Collaborations Center (OCC) to develop and conduct the trials performed in the ATN. In addition, the BCM Youth Community Advisory Board, (YCAB), which has had members who have been active in the ATN Youth Advisory Council (YAC) and National CAB, Youth Experts and Advocates for Health (ATN-YEAH), will evaluate and provide input on developing studies and provide and enhance ideas for future studies. Aim 3 – Provide Innovation Regarding Successful Recruitment and Enrollment of Participants: As an ATN Site Consortium, we have the structure, experience, and outreach to approach this aim at multiple levels with outreach in hard-to- reach AYA including racial and gender minority and homeless youth. Aim 4 – Provide Sites (Texas Children's Hospital and Harris Health Northwest and Thomas Street Health Center) as well as outreach within the Houston ATN Consortium, local laboratory capacity, and pharmacy support in order to conduct the ATN trials in collaboration with the OCC. Aim 5 – Continued evaluation and adjustment of Houston collaborative consortium leadership model for meaningful and continued community engagement as reflected in ATN research study participation of AYA at risk for or LWH. We anticipate the expected outcomes of improvements in each ATN priority area along the continuums of HIV infection and prevention. This project is high impact because it will provide the necessary consortium in impacted communities of AYA in a high-priority region of the U.S. to collaborate with the OCC to make sustainable progress in reaching the ATN goals.", "keywords": [ "AIDS/HIV problem", "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome", "Address", "Adherence", "Adolescent Medicine Trials Network", "Adolescent and Young Adult", "Advisory Committees", "Advocate", "Affect", "African American population", "Area", "Black race", "COVID-19", "COVID-19 pandemic", "Caring", "Cities", "Clinical Trials", "Collaborations", "Communities", "Conduct Clinical Trials", "County", "Development", "Diagnosis", "Discipline of Nursing", "Drug Kinetics", "Epidemic", "Evaluation", "Failure", "Feedback", "Future", "Goals", "HIV", "HIV Infections", "HIV diagnosis", "Health", "Healthcare", "Heterosexuals", "Hispanic", "Homeless Youth", "Human Resources", "Human immunodeficiency virus test", "Individual", "Infection", "Infection prevention", "Intervention", "Intervention Studies", "Intervention Trial", "Laboratories", "Latino", "Latinx", "Lead", "Leadership", "Low income", "Medicaid", "Medical", "Medicine", "Minority Groups", "Modality", "Modeling", "Online Systems", "Outcome", "Pediatric Hospitals", "Pharmacy facility", "Prevention", "Reporting", "Research", "Risk", "Services", "Site", "Structure", "Technology", "Texas", "Treatment Effectiveness", "Uninsured", "United States", "Work", "Youth", "age group", "base", "case-based", "college", "community engagement", "design", "ethnic minority population", "experience", "gender minority youth", "health inequalities", "high risk", "human old age (65+)", "improved", "innovation", "male", "marginalized community", "meetings", "member", "motivational enhancement therapy", "novel strategies", "operation", "outreach", "participant enrollment", "pre-exposure prophylaxis", "prevent", "prevention service", "programs", "racial minority", "recruit", "research study", "sexual minority", "testing services", "transmission process", "treatment services", "uptake" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5113", "attributes": { "award_id": "1006919", "title": "Oklahoma Optical Initiative", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "EPSCoR Research Infrastructure" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2010-09-01", "end_date": "2013-08-31", "award_amount": 1176470, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18221, "first_name": "Henry", "last_name": "Neeman", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 157, "ror": "", "name": "University of Oklahoma Norman Campus", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "OK", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [ { "id": 18219, "first_name": "Dana", "last_name": "Brunson", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, { "id": 18220, "first_name": "James", "last_name": "Deaton", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "awardee_organization": { "id": 157, "ror": "", "name": "University of Oklahoma Norman Campus", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "OK", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Oklahoma Optical Initiative \n\nProposal Number:\tEPS - 1006919 \nInstitution:\tUniversity of Oklahoma Norman Campus\nProject Director:\tHenry J. Neeman\n\nThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). \n\nThis OK Inter-campus and Intra-campus Cyber Connectivity (RII C2) project would be led by the University of Oklahoma Norman Campus to benefit the entire state.\n\nIntellectual Merit\nThrough the Oklahoma Optical Initiative (OOI), the OK RII C2 project plans to facilitate the ability to provision a substantial number of dedicated high performance connections, both within Oklahoma and to national and international networks (e.g., Internet2, NLR). OOI would transform Oklahoma's existing research ring from routed to optical, leveraging existing infrastructure while advancing optical switching components to a new level, facilitating substantial improvement in reliability, robustness, availability and potentially bandwidth, as well as enabling the ability to provision dedicated lambdas. This initiative will leverage extant and emerging investments by OneNet and University of Oklahoma (OU). \n\nIndividual Oklahoma institutions will achieve substantial connectivity transformations, so they can take advantage of OOI. In particular: \n(a) OU's supercomputer will have its world-facing network connectivity upgraded to 10 Gbps (10X increase);\n(b) OSU (Oklahoma State University) will be upgraded to 10 Gbps intra-campus (10x increase), from its current 1 Gbps intra-campus (but 10 Gbps ring-facing); \n(c) University of Tulsa will be upgraded to 1 Gbps (5X increase), for research use only, at no upcharge; \n(d) Langston University (LU) bandwidth for High Energy Physics (HEP) projects will be increased to 10 Gbps (100X increase), at no upcharge; \n(e) Noble bandwidth will be increased to 250 Mbps (5X increase) via a fiber Indefeasible Right to Use agreement, at no upcharge; \n(f) Rural and nonmetro connectivity will be improved, via redeploying extant optical components from the research ring to OneNet's remote hubsites. \n(g) The Oklahoma Telepresence Initiative will make High Definition telepresence available to all higher education campuses in Oklahoma.\n\nOklahoma currently has an RII Track 1 on bioenergy and an RII Track 2 on ecoinformatics. The Track 1, a collaboration among Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation (Noble), isn't a large consumer of network connectivity, but Noble currently is at only 45 Mbps, expected to be inadequate for emerging needs; the Track1 also includes the Oklahoma Cyberinfrastructure Initiative (OCII), which provides CI resources to 540 users at 24 institutions (including 11 of Oklahoma's 13 public universities), mostly without usage charges. The Track 2, a collaboration among OU, OSU, the University of Kansas and Kansas State University, uses substantial data, with constant collection and transformation of NASA data made available from a web portal. \n\nOther Data-Intensive Projects include: \n(a) Oklahoma has been a longstanding leader in meteorology research, especially in real time forecasting of severe storms, including: the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms; the Linked Environment for Atmospheric Discovery collaboration (NSF Large Information Technology Research); development of the Advanced Regional Prediction System as an NSF Science and Technology Center and now a key developer of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model; a just-awarded NSF Petascale Applications grant for Ensemble Kalman Filtering on the NSF's Blue Waters multi-petaflops system. \n(b) For the past 6 years, Oklahoma's DOE EPSCoR has supported a High Energy Physics collaboration among OU, OSU and LU, Oklahoma's only Historically Black University. In addition, OU and LU, with two other institutions, form the NSF-funded ATLAS Southwest Tier2 Center. At OU, HEP projects are expected to consume roughly 5 Gbps starting in 2010; at LU, campus networking capability is inadequate for LU's growing computing and data responsibilities. \n(c) The OU and OSU HPC centers support dozens of research teams. \n(d) The state's Science & Technology (S&T) plan includes bioenergy, plant science, weather and weather sensors, plus other areas that are supported under OCII but not called out in this RII C2 proposal.\n\nBroader Impacts\nThe Oklahoma Networking Mentorship Program will provide networking professionals from OU and OneNet to institutions across the state (20 institutions have expressed interest), to deliver presentations on the practicalities of the networking profession and job shadowing opportunities, both physical and virtual. In addition, each of the science projects described has its own extensive education program, Oklahoma Cyber-infrastructure Initiative (OCII) has its longstanding and successful SiPE education program, and Oklahoma EPSCoR has comprehensive educational and outreach programs, links to economic development and to initiatives designed to enhance public awareness of the importance of science.\n\nK-12 students and teachers are being exposed to cutting-edge science and CI through summer technology academies, mobile science vehicles, and teacher training workshops. Undergraduate student research experiences in industry and academia are supported and talented students are being recruited into bioenergy based graduate programs. Workshops are being geared towards the education, training and integration of CI in the outreach and research components of Oklahoma's RII projects. Conferences to encourage multidisciplinary, multi-campus collaborations and to enhance faculty competitiveness in future grant submissions are being supported. An entrepreneurial workshop, a business plan competition for students along with commercialization vouchers to assess the commercial potential of researcher's inventions would foster the spirit of entrepreneurship of both students and faculty. \n\nAlong with publications, website and wiki, outcomes of this RII C2 project are proposed to be disseminated via the Oklahoma Supercomputing Symposium, which in 8 years has had over 2000 attendees from 84 academic institutions in 23 states and Puerto Rico (32 in Oklahoma and 19 in 12 other EPSCoR jurisdictions), including PhD-, masters- and bachelors-granting universities, community colleges, career techs, a high school and public school systems, as well as 79 private companies, 29 government agencies (21 in Oklahoma) and 13 non-governmental organizations.\n\nRII education outreach initiatives embrace the inclusion of underrepresented groups and women, and strengthen competitiveness and diversity through collaboration with LU (Oklahoma's HBCU) and tribal college, facilitating transition from high school to college, providing culture-attuned counseling support, and promoting enhancement programs to retain students pursuing STEM disciplines. Other initiatives promote effective communication of scientific advances to enhance public awareness of the value of science to the state legislature and the general public. Collectively, the RII investments would position Oklahoma to enhance competitiveness for mainstream NSF funding.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "11579", "attributes": { "award_id": "5U01CK000643-02", "title": "RFA-CK-22-003, Emerging Infections Sentinel Networks (EISN) Research - 2022", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2022-05-01", "end_date": "2027-04-30", "award_amount": 250000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 23853, "first_name": "DAVID ANDREW", "last_name": "TALAN", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 818, "ror": "", "name": "UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 818, "ror": "", "name": "UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "In 1995, following the Institute of Medicine’s report, “Emerging Infections,” and in response to the CDC’s strategic plan to enhance surveillance, EMERGEncy ID NET was established. EMERGEncy ID NET's goal was to address the threat of emerging infectious diseases by assessing disease prevalence, risk factors, and management practices for acute presentations from the community among a diverse and underserved population of patients presenting to US emergency departments (EDs). A CDC cooperative grant has funded the network for the last 25 years. Due to the ability to prospectively collect clinical data and specimens for on-site laboratory analysis 24/7 from acutely ill patients from the community, EMERGEncy ID NET has been able to produce translational research that has impacted physician practices and informed public health policy. The research network demonstrated its capability to successfully address an urgent public health threat during the COVID-19 pandemic by rapidly implementing 20-site and 16-site public health surveillance projects of ED patient care-related infection risk and vaccine effectiveness among frontline health care personnel. Numerous peer-reviewed publications have resulted from EMERGEncy ID NET research, including in high-impact journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association, Clinical Infectious Diseases, Emerging Infectious Diseases, and Annals of Emergency Medicine. Aims of EMERGEncy ID NET for the next 5 years are to: 1) identify emerging infections and risk factors for these conditions affecting US ED patients, including among underserved groups; 2) leverage EMERGEncy ID NET’s findings to create new collaborations to develop and improve diagnostic tests, treatments, and vaccines; and 3) disseminate results at national medical conferences, in high-impact journals, and on infectious diseases, public health, and emergency medicine social media outlets to inform treatment and public health policy, and educate the public. Support of EMERGEncy ID NET for the next 5 years will ensure that the network can continue to answer new questions about emerging infections and related areas of high public health priority.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "10397", "attributes": { "award_id": "2203262", "title": "EAGER: A Holistic Heterogeneous Temporal Graph Transformer Framework with Meta-learning to Combat Opioid Epidemic", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "Info Integration & Informatics" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2021-11-01", "end_date": "2023-09-30", "award_amount": 150000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 638, "first_name": "Yanfang", "last_name": "Ye", "orcid": null, "emails": "[email protected]", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 171, "ror": "https://ror.org/00mkhxb43", "name": "University of Notre Dame", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IN", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 171, "ror": "https://ror.org/00mkhxb43", "name": "University of Notre Dame", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IN", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The devastating and lethal opioid epidemic has largely been fueled with various opioids in the United States. Unfortunately, driven by considerable profits, opioid trafficking has co-evolved with modern technologies, such as, social media platforms have been utilized for marketing and selling illicit drugs including opioids, which has attracted increasing attention from both public health agencies and law enforcement. As online opioid trafficking activities are nimble and resilient, it calls for novel techniques to effectively detect opioid trades to facilitate proactive response strategies. By advancing capabilities of machine learning and data science, the goal of this project is to design and develop a holistic framework to model and analyze dynamic multi-modal data to fight against online opioid trafficking and, thus, help combat opioid epidemic. This research will enable a conceptual framework for the federal and state governments, public health agencies, law enforcement, and local communities to develop proactive strategies to build up a drug-free world - one community at a time. \n\nBy engaging novel disciplinary perspectives, this exploratory, yet transformative, high risk-high payoff work will involve radically different approaches for the development of an integrated framework to combat online opioid trafficking. The research will have three key components. First, the team will propose a novel heterogeneous temporal graph (HTG) to comprehensively model and abstract multi-modal posts and relational information over time on social media. Second, based on the constructed HTG, the research team will develop an innovative graph transformer to learn user representations for opioid trafficker detection. Third, to tackle the challenge of lack of sufficient labeled data for model training, the team will further develop a new meta-learning algorithm by joining unsupervised graph structure and small amount of supervised training data to update the model. This will enable the model to quickly adapt to a new task, such as identifying a new type of traded opioid and its traffickers on social media, using only a few samples and training iterations. The developed holistic framework for the detection of online opioid trafficking activities will have significant impacts on addressing the critical national opioid epidemic facing our society. The research will be beneficial to data mining and machine learning communities, as well as multidisciplinary domains such as public health, epidemiology, social and behavioral sciences. The outcomes of this project will be made publicly accessible and broadly distributed. The project will integrate research with education through novel curriculum development, participation of underrepresented groups, and student mentoring activities.\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": "5124", "attributes": { "award_id": "NNX10AR42G", "title": "We propose a set of two 19 arcmin offset observations for the galaxy group MKW 4 to measure spatially resolved density, temperature and iron abundance out to 1''500, These measurements are crucial for an accurate determination of the gas mass profile and", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2011-01-01", "end_date": "2012-12-31", "award_amount": 0, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18257, "first_name": "DAVID", "last_name": "BUOTE", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 1407, "ror": "", "name": "REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA THE (6406)", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": null, "abstract": "We propose a set of two 19 arcmin offset observations for the galaxy group MKW 4 to measure spatially resolved density, temperature and iron abundance out to 1''500, These measurements are crucial for an accurate determination of the gas mass profile and", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5270", "attributes": { "award_id": "0749404", "title": "Collaborative Research: Processes, Feedbacks and Air-Sea Carbon Dioxide Exchange in the Land-Coastal Ocean System", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "Chemical Oceanography" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2008-04-01", "end_date": "2012-07-31", "award_amount": 189232, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18575, "first_name": "Abraham", "last_name": "Lerman", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 317, "ror": "https://ror.org/000e0be47", "name": "Northwestern University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 317, "ror": "https://ror.org/000e0be47", "name": "Northwestern University", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "IL", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The shallow coastal ocean, representing approximately 8% of the modern global surface ocean area and 19% of the land area, is a domain that exercises poorly understood controls of the global carbon cycle and the air-sea CO2 exchange that are of unquestionable importance to climate change since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and into the future. At present, 10 to 30% of total oceanic biological production occurs in the coastal ocean, near 80% of the terrigenous material mass reaching the ocean is deposited there, and as much as 50% of total calcium carbonate and 80% of total organic carbon accumulation in the ocean occur in this region. At the end of pre-industrial time, nearly 200 years ago, biological calcification and remineralization of organic carbon produced in situ and imported from land might have been responsible for 30% to 50% of the CO2 emission from the surface ocean to the atmosphere. At the millennial to centurial time scale since the LGM near 18,000 years before present and into the next two centuries of the Anthropocene, the coastal ocean, because of its relatively small size, is particularly susceptible to environmental changes in its bigger neighboring reservoirs of atmosphere, land, open ocean, and sediments. For the same reason, it transmits and modulates rapidly the external and internal forcings of the past and the near future. \n\nIn this project, researchers at the University of Hawaii - Manoa and Northwestern University will address four important, but not well understood, issues of the role of the coastal ocean in the global carbon cycle and air-sea CO2 exchange in the time period since near the LGM to the end of pre-industrial time and into the future two centuries of the Industrial Age. The role of the coastal ocean is a global role and the research accordingly focuses on obtaining global or world-average answers. These will be handled by model analysis developed from the investogators? dynamic process models that have been successfully applied to the shorter time periods of the Industrial Age and the future two to three centuries. Success of the models? application is in their agreement with the results of others? estimates for the industrial past and future. The model analysis will produce estimates of the major processes that interact with the CO2 transfer: the removal of carbon and other nutrients from land, sedimentary storage of organic and inorganic carbon as affected by seawater chemistry and surface water acidification, biological production on land and in the coastal zone, the CO2 and temperature role in mineral weathering, and the CO2 air-sea exchange of the coastal ocean. \n\nThe broader impacts of this proposal are its relevance to the societal issues and policy decisions involved in the understanding of the biogeochemical fundamentals of global change and, particularly, of the role of the heavily human-impacted coastal ocean in the global carbon cycle in the past and on into the future. Additional impacts involve undergraduate and graduate education, and dissemination of information by means of a web site allowing the community access to the models and results, and presentations at professional meetings. Finally, the behavior of the coastal ocean domain in the past and future is critical to any analysis of the Earth system undergoing both natural and human-induced environmental change.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } } ], "meta": { "pagination": { "page": 4, "pages": 1397, "count": 13961 } } }
