Translation is the process of turning observations in the research laboratory, clinic, and community into interventions that improve people’s health. The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program is a National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) initiative to advance translational science and research. Currently, 64 “CTSA hubs” exist across the nation. Since 2006, the Houston-based Center for Clinical Translational Sciences (CCTS) has assembled a well-integrated, high-impact hub in Texas that includes six partner institutions within the state, encompassing ∼23,000 sq. miles and over 16 million residents. To achieve the NCATS goal of “more treatments for all people more quickly,” the CCTS promotes diversity and inclusion by integrating underrepresented populations into clinical studies, workforce training, and career development. In May 2023, we submitted the UM1 application and six “companion” proposals: K12, R25, T32-Predoctoral, T32-Postdoctoral, and RC2 (two applications). In October 2023, we received priority scores for the UM1 (22), K12 (25), T32-Predoctoral (20), and T32-Postdoctoral (23), which historically fall within the NCATS funding range. This report describes the grant preparation and submission approach, coupled with data from an internal survey designed to assimilate feedback from principal investigators, writers, reviewers, and administrative specialists. Herein, we share the challenges faced, the approaches developed, and the lessons learned.

Objective:
Former professional American football players have a high relative risk for neurodegenerative diseases like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Interpreting low cognitive test scores in this population occasionally is complicated by performance on validity testing. Neuroimaging biomarkers may help inform whether a neurodegenerative disease is present in these situations. We report three cases of retired professional American football players who completed comprehensive neuropsychological testing, but “failed” performance validity tests, and underwent multimodal neuroimaging (structural MRI, Aß-PET, and tau-PET).
Participants and Methods:Three cases were identified from the Focused Neuroimaging for the Neurodegenerative Disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (FIND-CTE) study, an ongoing multimodal imaging study of retired National Football League players with complaints of progressive cognitive decline conducted at Boston University and the UCSF Memory and Aging Center. Participants were relatively young (age range 55-65), had 16 or more years of education, and two identified as Black/African American. Raw neuropsychological test scores were converted to demographically-adjusted z-scores. Testing included standalone (Test of Memory Malingering; TOMM) and embedded (reliable digit span, RDS) performance validity measures. Validity cutoffs were TOMM Trial 2 < 45 and RDS < 7. Structural MRIs were interpreted by trained neurologists. Aß-PET with Florbetapir was used to quantify cortical Aß deposition as global Centiloids (0 = mean cortical signal for a young, cognitively normal, Aß negative individual in their 20s, 100 = mean cortical signal for a patient with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease dementia). Tau-PET was performed with MK-6240 and first quantified as standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) map. The SUVR map was then converted to a w-score map representing signal intensity relative to a sample of demographically-matched healthy controls.
Results:All performed in the average range on a word reading-based estimate of premorbid intellect. Contribution of Alzheimer’s disease pathology was ruled out in each case based on Centiloids quantifications < 0. All cases scored below cutoff on TOMM Trial 2 (Case #1=43, Case #2=42, Case #3=19) and Case #3 also scored well below RDS cutoff (2). Each case had multiple cognitive scores below expectations (z < -2.0) most consistently in memory, executive function, processing speed domains. For Case #1, MRI revealed mild atrophy in dorsal fronto-parietal and medial temporal lobe (MTL) regions and mild periventricular white matter disease. Tau-PET showed MTL tau burden modestly elevated relative to controls (regional w-score=0.59, 72nd%ile). For Case #2, MRI revealed cortical atrophy, mild hippocampal atrophy, and a microhemorrhage, with no evidence of meaningful tau-PET signal. For Case #3, MRI showed cortical atrophy and severe white matter disease, and tau-PET revealed significantly elevated MTL tau burden relative to controls (w-score=1.90, 97th%ile) as well as focal high signal in the dorsal frontal lobe (overall frontal region w-score=0.64, 74th%ile).
Conclusions:Low scores on performance validity tests complicate the interpretation of the severity of cognitive deficits, but do not negate the presence of true cognitive impairment or an underlying neurodegenerative disease. In the rapidly developing era of biomarkers, neuroimaging tools can supplement neuropsychological testing to help inform whether cognitive or behavioral changes are related to a neurodegenerative disease.

New evidence from archaeological investigations in north-east Thailand shows a transition in rice farming towards wetland cultivation that would have facilitated greater yields and surpluses. This evidence, combined with new dates and palaeoclimatic data, suggests that this transition took place in the Iron Age, at a time of increasingly arid climate, and when a number of broader societal changes become apparent in the archaeological record. For the first time, it is possible to relate changes in subsistence economy to shifts in regional climate and water-management strategies, and to the emergence of state societies in Southeast Asia.

Good education requires student experiences that deliver lessons about practice as well as theory and that encourage students to work for the public good—especially in the operation of democratic institutions (Dewey 1923; Dewy 1938). We report on an evaluation of the pedagogical value of a research project involving 23 colleges and universities across the country. Faculty trained and supervised students who observed polling places in the 2016 General Election. Our findings indicate that this was a valuable learning experience in both the short and long terms. Students found their experiences to be valuable and reported learning generally and specifically related to course material. Postelection, they also felt more knowledgeable about election science topics, voting behavior, and research methods. Students reported interest in participating in similar research in the future, would recommend other students to do so, and expressed interest in more learning and research about the topics central to their experience. Our results suggest that participants appreciated the importance of elections and their study. Collectively, the participating students are engaged and efficacious—essential qualities of citizens in a democracy.

An outcrop-based lake-level curve, constrained by ~ 70 calibrated 14C ages on Anodonta shells, indicates at least 8 highstands between 45 and 25 cal ka BP within 10 m of the 543-m upper threshold of Lake Manix in the Mojave Desert of southern California. Correlations of Manix highstands with ice, marine, and speleothem records suggest that at least the youngest three highstands coincide with Dansgaard–Oeschger (D–O) stadials and Heinrich events 3 and 4. The lake-level record is consistent with results from speleothem studies in the Southwest that indicate cool wet conditions during D–O stadials. Notably, highstands between 43 and 25 ka apparently occurred at times of generally low levels of pluvial lakes farther north as interpreted from core-based proxies. Mojave lakes may have been supported by tropical moisture sources during oxygen-isotope stage 3, perhaps controlled by southerly deflection of Pacific storm tracks due to weakening of the sea-surface temperature gradient in response to North Atlantic climate perturbations.

A use-value assessment tax requires a system by which agricultural land values may be established. Land value in agricultural use can in principle be determined from the land's income-generating ability. The value of agricultural land can be based upon the capitalized income stream, which implies that net income attributable to land resource, or more theoretically, its value of the marginal product, can be capitalized into economic value. A major weakness in the process of determining net returns to land is the requirement that returns to other production inputs can be determined accurately. To be exact, the marginal productivity of every input must be known.

Objective.
To evaluate the application of the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) definition in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and pediatric hematology/oncology units (PHOUs) participating in a multicenter quality improvement collaborative to reduce CLABSIs; to identify sources of variability in the application of the definition.
Design.Online survey using 18 standardized case scenarios. Each described a positive blood culture in a patient and required a yes-or-no answer to the question “Is this a CLABSI?” NHSN staff responses were the reference standard.
Setting.Sixty-five US PICUs and PHOUs.
Participants.Staff who routinely adjudicate CLABSIs using NHSN definitions.
Results.Sixty responses were received from 58 (89%) of 65 institutions; 78% of respondents were infection preventionists, infection control officers, or infectious disease physicians. Responses matched those of NHSN staff for 78% of questions. The mean (SE) percentage of concurring answers did not differ for scenarios evaluating application of 1 of the 3 criteria (“known pathogen,” 78% [1.7%]; “skin contaminant, >1 year of age,” 76% [SE, 2.5%]; “skin contaminant, ≤1 year of age,” 81% [3.8%]; P = .3 ). The mean percentage of concurring answers was lower for scenarios requiring respondents to determine whether a CLABSI was present or incubating on admission (64% [4.6%]; P = .017) or to distinguish between primary and secondary bacteremia (65% [2.5%]; P = .021).
Conclusions.The accuracy of application of the CLABSI definition was suboptimal. Efforts to reduce variability in identifying CLABSIs that are present or incubating on admission and in distinguishing primary from secondary bloodstream infection are needed.

We hypothesized that placental villous branching that is measured by disk chorionic plate expansion and disk thickness is correlated with factors also involved in regulation of branching growth of other fetal viscera (e.g. lung, kidney) including neuronal dendrites, and thus may be associated with variation in childhood intelligence quotient (IQ). IQ at age 7 years was assessed using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. Placental measures [placental weight (g), thickness (mm), chorionic plate surface diameters (cm), area (cm2), shape, and cord length and cord eccentricity] were independent variables in regression analyses of age 7-year IQ in 12,926 singleton term live born infants with complete placental data. Analyses were stratified on gender with adjustment for socioeconomic status, race, parity, gestational age, exact age at testing and centered parental ages. After adjustment for covariates, placental measurements were independently associated with IQ at age 7 years but results varied by gender. Chorionic plate diameters were only associated with higher IQ in girls. Placental thickness was positively associated with higher IQ for boys and girls. We have previously shown that placental measures affect age 7-year body mass index and diastolic blood pressure. Here we demonstrate that specific measures, placental chorionic plate diameters in girls and disk thickness, independent of gender, are correlated with age 7-year IQ. Further exploration of the possible interaction of these factors on the placental villous arborization reflected by the chorionic plate expansion and placental thickness that correlate with age 7-year IQ, as well as other age 7 somatic features as previously addressed, is indicated.

We hypothesized that the altered placental proportions that influence birth weight affect childhood body proportions, and that these effects would be independent of birth weight. We also hypothesized that altered placental proportions might affect the fetal cardiovascular system, and may be reflected in variation in childhood blood pressure. By using linear regression with birth weight as the dependent variable, placental variables were entered as predictors. The predicted birth weights based on placental factors were then obtained. The ratio of the actual birth weight to that predicted by placental parameters (observed/expected ratio, OER) was used as the independent variable in analyses of age 7 year body mass index (BMI) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the 15,902 singleton liveborns delivered between 34 and 43 weeks. The standardized residual birth weight was also used as a variable to examine the effects of birth weight that is not consistent with placental parameters. For each unit increase in the OER, BMI at 7 years increased 1 kg/m2 (P < 0.0001). The OER also had a significant effect on DBP (β = 4.52, P < 0.001) at 7 years of age but only among African-American children. Results for the standardized residual birth weight variable were consistent with the OER. All results were adjusted for gestational age, sex, socioeconomic status, African-American race and maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. Being larger or smaller than predicted by one’s placenta affects childhood body composition and blood pressure. The placental measurements provide insight into pathophysiological mechanisms of the developmental origins of adult disease.

College undergraduate and high school teacher internships are significant factors in materials science education. Traditionally, NSF-supported internships are done in academia. The NSF-supported academic/industrial internship programs involving Stanford University, San Jose University and the IBM Almaden Research Center extend the impact by the inclusion of an industrial research component. Internships through San Jose State University have existed since 1994 under a variety of NSF grants, most recently with NSF-REU support for undergraduate internships. Internships through Stanford university have existed since 1995 through an NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, the “Center for Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Interfaces” (CPIMA). In these programs, the interns become members of an existing research group for 10 weeks and have their own project under a mentor. The interns attend a weekly seminar series on industrial research frontiers, a career day, a Graduate Record Examination workshop, a graduate school workshop, and tours of industrial research labs. Every participant presents a poster at an internal technical meeting at IBM at the end of the summer. For the industrial internships at IBM, the research is publishable but closely related to a technical area important to IBM. While the undergraduate and teacher internship programs are the major components of educational outreach of CPIMA, many other projects have been pursued, including public science, programs with local high schools, and science outreach to local community colleges. Dr. Marni Goldman was the Director of Educational Outreach for CPIMA from 2000 until her death in 2007, and she started many of the educational projects and programs. She was especially interested in diversity and initiated an internship program for students who are disabled. The programs will be reviewed and her contributions emphasized.

As part of the NSF supported SUMMIT (San Jose State University/IBM Almaden Research Center collaboration) REU and CPIMA (Stanford University/Almaden) SURE undergraduate internship programs we have developed a workshop that emphasizes the scientific community's dependence on ethical behavior for its success and advancement at this nascent stage of a scientific career. We have successfully introduced open-ended role playing based on recent real life ethics cases as reported in the scientific news to a foundation presentation based on the APS Ethics and Professional Conduct Guidelines for Physicists. The goal is to foster discussion of complex cases and their effects not only on the protagonists but on the scientific community.

We are developing label-free Arrayed Imaging Reflectometry (AIR) for rapid and multiplexed protein detection. AIR is based on the high dynamic range in reflected optical intensity near a point of zero reflectance on an antireflection coated substrate. The reflectance is therefore highly sensitive to changes in film thickness, allowing direct detection of molecular binding when appropriate probe molecules are immobilized on the surface. The simplest implementation of AIR uses a 633 nm HeNe laser and a silicon wafer substrate coated with ∼1400 Å of SiO2. This system has a reflectance zero for s-polarized HeNe light incident at ∼70°. This interference film is then functionalized with probe molecules designed to bind to a specific target, and this binding can be detected with high sensitivity in the reflectance signal. By expanding the laser beam and collecting the reflected signal with a CCD camera, large arrays of detection spots can be imaged simultaneously. Spot intensity increases relative to the amount of target binding and the target solution concentration can then be calculated. We have demonstrated the detection of the Enteropathogenic E Coli membrane protein Intimin at levels below 10 pM using receptor molecule Tir as a probe, and are currently evaluating various clinical targets using more common antibody probes.
