CENTER FOR CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS AND ALCOHOL-INDUCED TISSUE DAMAGE - ABSTRACT FUNDAMENTAL UNANSWERED QUESTIONS IN THE FIELD OF ALCOHOL RESEARCH INCLUDE: WHY DO ONLY A SUBSET OF INDIVIDUALS WITH AN ALCOHOL-USE DISORDER DEVELOP CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT ORGAN DAMAGE AND WHAT FACTORS PREDISPOSE SUBJECTS WITH AUD TO DEVELOP ORGAN FAILURE IN A SPECIFIC ORGAN? STUDIES PROVIDE COMPELLING EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE HYPOTHESIS THAT DISRUPTION OF CIRCADIAN HOMEOSTASIS IS A PLAUSIBLE SUSCEPTIBILITY FACTOR FOR HOST AND ORGAN-SPECIFIC VULNERABILITY TO ALCOHOL-INDUCED PATHOLOGIES. INTEREST IN THE STUDY OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS IS GROWING; HOWEVER, AN OBSTACLE TO STUDY THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS AND ALCOHOL-INDUCED ORGAN DAMAGE HAS BEEN THE LACK OF A COMBINED CIRCADIAN RHYTHM AND ALCOHOL EXPERTISE (AND THE UNDERLYING MOLECULAR MECHANISMS) AND THE HIGH COST ASSOCIATED WITH ESTABLISHING THE INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY TO ASSESS AND MANIPULATE CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS R24 ALCOHOL RESEARCH RESOURCE PROGRAM “CENTER FOR CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS AND ALCOHOL- INDUCED TISSUE DAMAGE” IS TO FILL THESE UNMET NEEDS. THE OBJECTIVE OF PHASE I (CURRENT FUNDING PERIOD) OF THIS CENTER FOCUSED ON ADVANCING AWARENESS OF THE TOPIC AND AVAILABILITY OF CENTER RESOURCES, PROVIDING RESOURCES AND SUPPORT TO INVESTIGATORS, AS WELL AS TRAINING AND MENTORING OF JUNIOR INVESTIGATORS. WITH NIAAA-SUPPORT WE PROVIDED SERVICES TO NEARLY 60 INVESTIGATORS RESULTING IN 23 PUBLICATIONS, PROVIDED SUPPORT FOR 28 GRANT APPLICATIONS (5 FUNDED), AND TRAINING / MENTORING OF 13 JUNIOR INVESTIGATORS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS COMPETITIVE RENEWAL (PHASE II) IS TO BUILD ON PHASE I SUCCESS BY CONTINUING TO PROVIDE THE INFRASTRUCTURE, SUPPORT, AND EXPERTISE TO ENABLE TO CONDUCT RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC OF ALCOHOL AND CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS. ADDITIONALLY, IN RESPONSE TO REQUESTS FROM USERS WE WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR MECHANISTIC EVALUATIONS TO EVALUATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALCOHOL AND CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS INCLUDING MICROBIOTA, INTESTINAL BARRIER, AND INTESTINAL-DERIVED INFLAMMATION. THESE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ATTAINED BY PURSUING THE FOLLOWING AIMS. AIM 1. PROMOTE AWARENESS OF THE TOPIC AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO INCORPORATE CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS, MICROBIOTA, AND GUT-DERIVED INFLAMMATION INTO MECHANISTIC, THERAPEUTIC, AND TRANSLATIONAL ALCOHOL RESEARCH STUDIES. CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY: INCREASED AWARENESS OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS IN ALCOHOL RESEARCH (AND MECHANISMS) AND VENUES TO SUPPORT DIALOGUE AND COLLABORATIONS TO BE A SPRINGBOARD FOR INNOVATIVE RESEARCH. AIM 2. PROVIDE THE ESSENTIAL RESOURCES TO INCORPORATE CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS IN ALCOHOL RESEARCH FOR HUMAN AND ANIMAL STUDIES AS WELL AS MECHANISTIC EVALUATIONS OF MICROBIOTA AND GUT-DERIVED INFLAMMATION. CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY: GIVE RESEARCHERS THE SKILLS AND RESOURCES TO TEST INNOVATIVE HYPOTHESES. IN SUMMARY, CONTINUATION OF THIS R24 CENTER WILL ENGAGE AND PROVIDE RESEARCHERS WITH THE SKILLS, RESOURCES, AND ASSISTANCE TO EXPLORE INNOVATIVE HYPOTHESES, AND BRING NEW INVESTIGATORS INTO THE FIELD OF ALCOHOL RESEARCH INCLUDING JUNIOR FACULTY AND TRAINEES. THESE EFFORTS ARE EXPECTED TO LEAD TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF NOVEL TARGETS AND INTERVENTIONS TO PREVENT AND TREAT ALCOHOL-INDUCED ORGAN DAMAGE NOW AND IN THE YEARS TO COME.

PROTECTIVE FACTORS OF COGNITIVE AGING AMONG LATINOS IN THE 50 STATES AND PUERTO RICO - PROJECT SUMMARY LATINOS LIVING IN THE 50 UNITED STATES (US; HEREINAFTER STATES), THE LARGEST RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY US POPULATION, ARE 1.5 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE THAN NON-LATINO WHITES. LATINOS IN THE STATES EXHIBIT UNIQUE PROFILES OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (ADRD) DISPARITIES ACROSS ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS (NAMELY, CUBANS, DOMINICANS, MEXICANS, PUERTO RICANS, AND SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICANS). FOR EXAMPLE, PUERTO RICANS ARE THE LATINO BACKGROUND WITH THE LOWEST COGNITIVE SCORES AND HIGHEST PREVALENCE OF MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (CVD) RISK FACTORS-- LONG ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER ADRD RISK. THUS, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT ADRD IS ALSO A GROWING CRISIS AMONG LATINOS LIVING IN THE US TERRITORY (ISLAND) OF PUERTO RICO (PR). IN FACT, THE AGE-ADJUSTED AD MORTALITY RATE IN PR IS DOUBLE THAT OF LATINOS IN THE STATES. UNFORTUNATELY, RESEARCH ON PROTECTIVE FACTORS THAT MAY SERVE AS TARGETS FOR PROMOTING COGNITIVE AND BRAIN HEALTH AMONG LATINOS IN THE STATES IS SCANT AND EVEN LESS IS KNOWN AMONG LATINOS IN PR. AS AN EARLY STAGE INVESTIGATOR, BORN AND RAISED IN PR, WITH DOCTORAL TRAINING IN COMMUNITY HEALTH SCIENCES AND POST-DOCTORAL TRAINING ON CVD EPIDEMIOLOGY, THIS K01 WOULD THE PROVIDE NEW SKILLS AND TRAINING IN THEORIES OF RESILIENCE AND RESERVE AS WELL AS CONTENT KNOWLEDGE ON NORMATIVE COGNITIVE AGING, BRAIN STRUCTURE AND NEUROIMAGING, AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR HEALTHY AGING. THIS K01 WOULD ALSO ACHIEVE THE OVERALL RESEARCH GOAL OF EXAMINING THE MECHANISMS THROUGH WHICH PROTECTIVE FACTORS SHOWN IMPORTANT IN OLDER NON-LATINO WHITES, I.E., FAVORABLE BODY COMPOSITION, BETTER PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH, AND HIGHER LEVELS OF COGNITIVE ENRICHMENT, SUPPORT COGNITIVE AND BRAIN HEALTH IN MIDDLE-AGED AND OLDER LATINOS (AGES 45+) WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PR. SPECIFICALLY, AIM 1 IS FOCUSED ON RESILIENCE TO AGE; WE WILL INVESTIGATE BASELINE PROTECTIVE FACTORS RELATED WITH MAINTENANCE OF COGNITIVE FUNCTION OVER A 7-YEAR FOLLOW-UP PERIOD (I.E., COGNITIVE RESILIENCE TO AGE) AND EXAMINE WHETHER PROTECTIVE FACTORS MODIFY THE CROSS-SECTIONAL RELATION OF AGE WITH BRAIN STRUCTURE (I.E., BRAIN RESILIENCE TO AGE) USING PREVIOUSLY COLLECTED DATA FROM THE LARGEST EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY OF LATINO HEALTH IN THE STATES, THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY HEALTH STUDY/STUDY OF LATINOS (HCHS/SOL) VISITS 1 AND 2 AND ITS NIA-FUNDED SOL-INCA AND SOL-INCA MRI ANCILLARY STUDIES. AIM 2 IS FOCUSED ON COGNITIVE RESERVE; WE WILL TEST WHETHER PROTECTIVE FACTORS MODIFY THE CROSS- SECTIONAL RELATIONS OF BRAIN STRUCTURE WITH COGNITION BY LEVERAGING DATA FROM SOL-INCA MRI AND SOL-INCA. AIM 3 IS FOCUSED ON PR, WE WILL ADMINISTER THE HCHS/SOL COGNITIVE BATTERY IN THE NHLBI-FUNDED PROSPECT COHORT, AN ISLAND-WIDE LONGITUDINAL EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY OF HEALTH, TO ESTIMATE COGNITION AND COMPARE THE PROTECTIVE FACTORS-COGNITION RELATIONS BETWEEN PUERTO RICANS IN PROSPECT AND HCHS/SOL. THIS RESEARCH IS RESPONSIVE TO THE PRIORITY AREAS OF THE NIA OF IDENTIFYING PROTECTIVE FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCCESSFUL COGNITIVE AGING IN ADRD DISPARITIES POPULATIONS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE PRELIMINARY DATA TO CONDUCT A LARGER EPIDEMIOLOGICAL R01 STUDY ON RESILIENCE AND RESERVE AMONG ADULTS LIVING IN PR.

IMPROVING TRAUMATIC STRESS IN BLACK WOMEN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS: EVALUATION OF A STAKEHOLDER ENGAGED INTERVENTION - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT HOMELESSNESS AND ASSOCIATED TRAUMAS DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT BLACK WOMEN. WHILE WOMEN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS (WEH) UNIVERSALLY FACE TRAUMATIC STRESS, BLACK WEH ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY TRAUMA, INCLUDING RACIAL TRAUMA. REPEATED EXPOSURE TO TRAUMA CONTRIBUTES TO THE INEQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT OF POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD), PREVENTABLE BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL HEALTH ADVERSITY, AND WORSENING OF EXISTING HEALTH INEQUITIES. OUR RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT BLACK WEH IDENTIFY TRAUMA AS A PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUE, YET, EVIDENCE-BASED STANDARD OF TRAUMA CARE REMAINS LARGELY UNREALIZED IN THIS POPULATION. IN RESPONSE TO THE DEARTH OF CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE TRAUMA CARE MODELS, OUR TEAM PILOT TESTED NARRATIVE EXPOSURE THERAPY (NET)—A BRIEF, HUMAN RIGHTS-INFORMED TRAUMA-FOCUSED TREATMENT APPROACH FOR COMPLEX PTSD. OUR PILOT SHOWED STRONG FEASIBILITY AND EFFECTS OF NURSES DELIVERING NET WITHIN SHELTER SETTINGS WITHIN SIX SESSIONS. INTERVIEWS WITH BLACK WEH, SHELTER STAFF, AND MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, HOWEVER, HIGHLIGHTED A MISSING ELEMENT OF CULTURAL RESONANCE TO ENABLE TRUST BUILDING AND LONG-TERM ENGAGEMENT WITH TRAUMA CARE. STAKEHOLDERS DESIRED A PEER TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RESEARCH—INVOLVING WOMEN WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS, WHO MOST CULTURALLY AND EXPERIENTIALLY MIRROR PARTICIPANTS—TO COMPLEMENT AND SUPPORT NURSE-DELIVERY OF NET. IN RESPONSE TO STAKEHOLDERS, OUR SOLUTION, NURSENET, INTEGRATES A WOMAN WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE, OR “PEER”, INTO THE NET DELIVERY PROCESS. IN NURSENET, “A WOMAN OF COLOR”, “A PERSON WHO’S BEEN THROUGH IT, WHO KNOWS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE” AND “IS GOING TO COMMUNICATE DIFFERENTLY” IS POSITIONED TO BE “A SOLUTION” TO TRAUMA. IN THIS RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL (RCT), WE WILL: AIM 1. DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF NURSENET IN REDUCING PTSD AND CO-OCCURRING SYMPTOMS IN BLACK WEH, ACCOMPLISHED VIA AN RCT WITH 210 BLACK WEH; AIM 2. DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTS OF NURSENET IN ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH), INCLUDING HEALTHCARE ACCESS, SOCIAL SUPPORT, RACIAL TRAUMA IMPACT, AND FINANCIAL SELF-EFFICACY (PEERS); AIM 3. ASSESS THE ACCEPTABILITY, APPROPRIATENESS, AND FEASIBILITY FACTORS THAT IMPACT IMPLEMENTATION OF AND ENGAGEMENT WITH NURSENET, VIA VALIDATED SURVEYS AND IN-DEPTH QUALITATIVE INTERVIEWS. CUTTING ACROSS ALL FIVE NINR RESEARCH LENSES, WE WILL (1) PROMOTE HEATH EQUITY BY REDUCING AND AIMING TO ELIMINATE INDIVIDUAL AND STRUCTURAL INEQUITIES RELATED TO TRAUMATIC STRESS; (2) ADDRESS AND IMPROVE THE SDOH, FOCUSING ON TRAUMA, PARTICULARLY RACIAL TRAUMA; (3) FOSTER POPULATION AND COMMUNITY HEALTH, ADDRESSING TRAUMA AS A GROWING PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGE; (4) ENCOURAGE PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROMOTION, ENGAGING BLACK WEH IN TRAUMA-INFORMED RELATIONSHIPS THAT MODEL OPTIMAL CARE ENGAGEMENT; (5) ASSESS AN INNOVATIVE NURSE-LED CARE MODEL THAT CAN BE EMBEDDED WITHIN EXISTING HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, SOLVING FOR LONG-STANDING CLINICAL AND POLICY CHALLENGES. OUR STUDY WILL ADVANCE NURSING RESEARCH TOWARDS DISCOVERY OF SCALABLE NURSE-LED SOLUTIONS TO CLOSE GAPS IN TRAUMA CARE ACROSS DISINVESTED COMMUNITIES TO PROMOTE HEALTH EQUITY.

SYNTHETIC LETHAL TARGETING OF KRAS/KEAP1 CO-MUTANT NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER - ABSTRACT ACTIVATING KRAS MUTATIONS OCCUR IN 20-40% OF NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCERS (NSCLCS). ABOUT 20% OF THE KRAS MUTATION TUMORS HAVE CO-OCCURRING MUTATIONS OF KEAP1 THAT ARE RESISTANT TO MOST THERAPIES AND DIFFICULT TO TREAT. THEREFORE NEW TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED. CURRENTLY, WE FOUND THESE CO-MUTANT TUMORS EXPRESS HIGH LEVELS OF THE HISTONE DEACETYLASE PROTEIN HDAC4 IMPORTANT FOR THEIR SURVIVAL. KRAS/KEAP1 CO-MUTANT NSCLC CELLS ARE SENSITIVE TO A HDAC4/5 INHIBITOR CALLED LMK235 WHILE SINGLE MUTANT CELLS ARE NOT. KNOCKDOWN OF HDAC4/5 OR TREATMENT WITH TSA (INHIBITS CLASS I/II HDACS INCLUDING HDACS 4 AND 5) HAS SIMILAR EFFECT. THUS, HIGH HDAC EXPRESSION REPRESENTS AN ACHILLES HEEL THAT RENDERS CO-MUTANT CELLS SENSITIVE TO LMK235 AND HDAC4/5 INHIBITION. MECHANISTICALLY, WE FOUND LMK235 INDUCES TOXICITY BY ACTIVATING A TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEIN CALLED RB AND BY ACTIVATING A PROTEIN CALLED BIM THAT TRIGGERS CELL DEATH. LASTLY, WE FOUND LMK235 CAUSES STRIKING SYNERGISTIC TOXICITY WHEN COMBINED WITH THE DRUG AMG510 (SOTORASIB) IN KRASG12C/KEAP1 CO-MUTANT NSCLCS. AMG510 SPECIFICALLY INHIBITS THE KRAS G12C MUTANT AND IS FDA APPROVED. IN CLINICAL STUDIES, KRAS G12C/KEAP1 MUTANT NSCLC TUMORS RESPONDED LESS WELL TO AMG510 THAN KRAS G12C TUMORS WITH WILD-TYPE KEAP1. THIS HIGHLIGHTS A NEED TO IMPROVE TREATMENTS IN THESE TUMORS. THE FINDING THAT LMK235 CAUSES SYNERGISTIC TOXICITY WITH AMG510 SUGGESTS THIS DRUG COMBINATION COULD IMPROVE RESPONSES IN THESE PATIENTS. IN AIM 1 WE WILL ESTABLISH THAT LMK235 AND TSA SPECIFICALLY TARGET KRAS/KEAP1 CO-MUTANT AND NOT SINGLE MUTANT NSCLC CELLS. WE WILL DETERMINE HOW RB IS ACTIVATED BY LMK235 AND CONFIRM ITS ROLE. THE ROLE OF BIM AND BIM ACETYLATION WILL ALSO BE DETERMINED BY CREATING MUTANTS OF BIM THAT EITHER BLOCK OR INHIBIT ACETYLATION AND TESTING THEIR EFFECT IN CELL RESPONSES TO LMK235. IN AIM 2 WE WILL EXAMINE THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF AMG510 AND LMK235. FIRST, WE WILL ESTABLISH THAT THE COMBINATION OF AMG510+LMK235 SPECIFICALLY TARGETS KRASG12C/KEAP1 CO- MUTANT CELLS. THIS WILL BE DONE BY COMPARING SENSITIVITY IN A PANEL OF NSCLC CELL LINES THAT VARY IN KRASG12C AND KEAP1 STATUS, AND BY GENERATING CELL LINES WHERE KRASG12C AND/OR KEAP1 ARE MUTATED. LASTLY WE WILL TEST THE RESPONSE OF KRASG12C/KEAP1 DOUBLE OR SINGLE MUTANT TUMORS TO AMG510+LMK235 IN MICE. THE IMPACT AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROPOSED STUDIES IS HIGH. KRAS/KEAP1 CO-MUTANT NSCLCS ARE DIFFICULT TO TREAT. THE CURRENT GRANT IDENTIFIES HDAC4/5 AS A TARGETABLE VULNERABILITY IN THESE CANCERS. LMK235 INDUCES TOXICITY UNIQUELY IN KRAS/KEAP1 CO-MUTANT NSCLCS BUT NOT SINGLE MUANT NSCLCS, AND THEREFORE COULD BE A WAY TO TARGET THESE DOUBLE MUTANT CANCERS. THE GRANT IS ALSO CLINICALLY RELEVANT, AS KRASG12C/KEAP1 MUTANT NSCLCS RESPONDED LESS WELL TO THE G12C INHIBITOR AMG510 IN CLINICAL STUDIES THAN KRASG12C TUMORS WITH WILD-TYPE KEAP1. THE GRANT SHOWS LMK235 IN COMBINATION WITH AMG510 CAUSES STRIKING SYNERGISTIC KILLING SPECIFICALLY IN KRAS/KEAP1 CO-MUTANT NSCLC. THUS, COMBINATION OF AMG510 WITH LMK235 (OR COMPOUNDS LIKE IT) COULD BE USED TO IMPROVE RESPONSES IN THESE PATIENTS.

ADVANCED NURSING EDUCATION - SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINERS PROGRAM - RUSH UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE 1653 WEST CONGRESS PKWY PROJECT DIRECTOR: ANNA CANDOLEZA MUGLIA PHONE: 312 947 0778 EMAIL: ANNA_CANDOLEZA@RUSH.EDU SEXUAL ASSAULT AND INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE HAVE BEEN PREVALENT PROBLEMS CLAIMING MULTIPLE VICTIMS. ILLINOIS RECENTLY INTRODUCED A REQUIREMENT THAT EVERY SURVIVOR OF SEXUAL ASSAULT NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY A QUALIFIED MEDICAL PROVIDER (QMP), DEFINED AS A SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER (SANE), OR A SAFE (SEXUAL ASSAULT FORENSIC EXAMINER), WHICH IS A PHYSICIAN OR PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT WHO HAS UNDERGONE TRAINING EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A SANE. THE QMP MUST BE AVAILABLE WITHIN 90 MINUTES OF SURVIVOR’S ARRIVAL TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM 24/7. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT SHORTAGE OF SANES STATEWIDE, ESPECIALLY IN LOW RESOURCE HOSPITALS. SURVIVORS FREQUENTLY MUST BE TRANSFERRED FOR A MEDICAL FORENSIC EXAM, WHICH MAKES THEIR EXPERIENCE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT. ACCORDING TO DATA COLLECTED BY THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, APPROXIMATELY 40% OF ALL ILLINOIS SEXUAL ASSAULTS PATIENTS ARE SEEN IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS IN COOK COUNTY, WHERE CHICAGO IS LOCATED. IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE IS A VERY LARGE NEED IN THIS AREA THAT MUST BE FILLED. RUSH UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER (RUMC) IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF CHICAGO’S ILLINOIS MEDICAL DISTRICT AND IS SURROUNDED BY SEVERAL SAFETY NET HOSPITALS. RUMC’S PATIENT POPULATION INCLUDES A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF PATIENTS FROM LOW SOCIOECONOMIC ZIP CODES AND IS COMPRISED OF ALMOST 70% MINORITIES. THIS BREAKDOWN IS ALSO REFLECTED IN OUR SURVIVOR POPULATION. RUMC HAS A WELL-FUNCTIONING SANE PROGRAM, BUT STILL HAS DIFFICULTY PROVIDING 24/7 CARE. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES OF A LARGE ACADEMIC INSTITUTION, INCLUDING A NURSING SCHOOL, MEDICAL SCHOOL, MULTIPLE MEDICAL RESIDENCY PROGRAMS, A LARGE SIMULATION LAB, AND A WIDE NET OF SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY WORKERS. IF PROVIDED THE FUNDING, WE COULD BECOME A TRAINING SITE FOR THE ENTIRE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF CHICAG O AND PROVIDE FREE TRAINING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SANES IN THE AREA. THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS. THE FIRST PART WOULD INCLUDE INVESTMENT IN OUR SANE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE 24/7 CARE AND TRAIN CLINICAL PRECEPTORS FOR SANE TRAINEES. THE SECOND PART WOULD BE TO TRAIN 40 NURSES PER YEAR (32 ADULT ADOLESCENT AND 8 PEDIATRIC), MOSTLY COMING FROM SURROUNDING COOK COUNTY HOSPITALS. WE WOULD USE THE GRANT FUNDS TO PROVIDE THE 40 HOURS FOUNDATION TRAINING FOLLOWED BY CLINICAL TRAINING SUPPORTED BY CLINICAL PRECEPTORS, WHO THE TRAINEES WOULD BE PAIRED UP WITH FOR EVERY EXAM. EVERY TRAINEE WOULD HAVE A MENTOR WITH WHOM THEY WOULD DISCUSS AND PEER REVIEW EVERY CASE. PRIOR TO PARTICIPATING IN THE MEDICAL FORENSIC EXAMS, THE TRAINEES WOULD HAVE LEARNED THE ANOGENITAL EXAM ON STANDARDIZED PATIENTS AND HAVE AMPLE PRACTICE OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE PELVIC EXAM SIMULATOR IN THE LAB. THEIR TRAINING WOULD ALSO BE SUPPLEMENTED BY SESSIONS WITH STANDARDIZED PATIENTS WHERE THEY WOULD PRACTICE TRAUMA INFORMED INTERVIEW AND GENDER AFFIRMATION SKILLS. PROGRAM DIDACTICS INCLUDE QUARTERLY HALF DAY CONFERENCES, WHICH TRAINEE COULD ATTEND EVEN AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM. GRANT FUNDS WOULD ALSO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE MEMBERSHIP IN TWO FORENSIC NURSING ORGANIZATIONS, GIVING MORE EXPOSURE TO EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND CURRENT UPDATES. TWENTY TRAINEES PER YEAR WOULD ATTEND A NATIONAL CONFERENCE. THIS FUNDING WOULD ENABLE US TO TRAIN 120 SANES OVER THE NEXT 3 YEARS. THIS INCREASE WOULD MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN COOK COUNTY HOSPITALS. INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SANES WOULD ENABLE HOSPITALS TO CARE FOR SURVIVORS, PREVENT TRANSFERS, DECREASE BURDEN ON SURVIVORS, AND PROVIDE BETTER CARE TO THIS VULNERABLE POPULATION.
