TRISTAN LECUYER TOTAL PROPOSED COST: $150,000,000 FOR THE PERIOD: 1 JULY 2025 TO 30 JUNE 2030 ABSTRACT BASED ON THE OUTSTANDING RATING WE RECEIVED FROM THE 5-YEAR INDEPENDENT COOPERATIVE INSTITUTE (CI) REVIEW CONDUCTED IN MAY 2024, THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSINMADISON (UW) PROPOSES TO BUILD ON 45 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING AND APPLICATIONS TO CONTINUE HOSTING A NOAA CI FOR SATELLITE STUDIES. THIS CI WILL CONDUCT RESEARCH IN FOUR THEME AREAS: (1) SATELLITE RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS, TO SUPPORT WEATHER ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING BY DEVELOPING, EVALUATING, AND ANALYZING NEW AND INNOVATIVE SATELLITE PRODUCTS AND GUIDING THEIR TRANSITION INTO OPERATIONS, (2) SATELLITE SENSORS AND TECHNIQUES, TO CHARACTERIZE SENSOR PERFORMANCE, PROVIDE LONG-TERM CALIBRATION, SPECIFY INSTRUMENT CHARACTERISTICS FOR FUTURE SATELLITE IMAGERS AND SOUNDERS, DERIVE DATA PRODUCTS THAT SUPPORT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND METEOROLOGICAL APPLICATIONS USING CLOUD COMPUTING AND MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES, (3) ENVIRONMENTAL MODELS AND SATELLITE DATA ASSIMILATION, TO INCREASE THE UTILIZATION OF SATELLITE DATA IN NOWCASTING, OPERATIONAL WEATHER ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION, AND ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY MODELS THROUGH ADVANCED ASSIMILATION TECHNIQUES, AND (4) OUTREACH AND EDUCATION, TO ENGAGE THE WORKFORCE OF THE FUTURE IN UNDERSTANDING AND USING ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF AN INFORMED SOCIETY. THIS PROPOSAL OUTLINES A SET OF COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES THAT BUILD UPON THE ESTABLISHED PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES OF THE CURRENT COOPERATIVE INSTITUTE FOR METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE STUDIES (CIMSS) TO CONDUCT RESEARCH SPANNING THE LIFE CYCLE OF SATELLITE METEOROLOGY FROM CONCEPT AND DESIGN TO APPLICATIONS AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. OUR OVERARCHING PHILOSOPHY IS TO PROVIDE A SINGLE CENTER THAT INTEGRATES END-TO-END SUPPORT OF METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE APPLICATIONS THAT INCLUDES INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN THE AREAS OF INSTRUMENT DESIGN AND DEMONSTRATION, SENSOR CALIBRATION, DATA PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, VALIDATION, ARCHIVAL, AND DISSEMINATION, DATA ASSIMILATION, TRAINING, AND OUTREACH AS WELL AS SUPPORTING NEW INITIATIVES IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING, IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, COMMUNITY MODELING, INCLUDING THE EARTH PREDICTION INNOVATION CENTER (EPIC), AND DEFINING NEXT-GENERATION ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITES. HOUSED WITHIN THE SPACE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CENTER (SSEC) AND COLLOCATED WITH NOAA/NESDIS AND NOAA/OAR EMPLOYEES AND THE UW DEPARTMENT OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC SCIENCES (AOS), CIMSS HAS ACCESS TO STATE-OF-THE-ART COMPUTING FACILITIES, DATA INFRASTRUCTURE, COMPUTATIONAL AND ENGINEERING EXPERTISE, INSTRUMENTATION, PROJECT MANAGEMENT SUPPORT, OUTSTANDING EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAMS, AND GRADUATE STUDENTS AT A WORLD-CLASS, DEGREE GRANTING EDUCATION PROGRAM IN ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC SCIENCES. WITH THESE ASSETS AND ITS STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND AGENCIES, CIMSS IS AN ESTABLISHED CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING THAT WILL CONTINUE TO MEET THE NATIONS WEATHER NEEDS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW. | $13,061,875 |
| Department of Health and Human Services | NATIONAL CENTER FOR QUANTITATIVE BIOLOGY OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS - PROJECT SUMMARY: PROPELLED BY CONSIDERABLE FEDERAL AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT OVER THE LAST TWENTY YEARS, STATE-OF-THE-ART MASS SPECTROMETRY SYSTEMS HAVE BECOME POWERFUL FIXTURES IN THE FABRIC OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH ACROSS THE COUNTRY. RESEARCHERS SUBMIT SAMPLES, TYPICALLY TO A CORE FACILITY BUT ALSO TO EXPERT COLLABORATORS, TO INTERROGATE THE PROTEOME WITH SPEED, DEPTH, AND PRECISION. LIPIDOMICS AND METABOLOMICS ARE ON A SIMILAR TRAJECTORY. THE INVESTMENT IN FUNDAMENTAL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT BY THE NIH AND OTHER AGENCIES HAS THUS PAID OFF IN THE REVELATION OF OTHERWISE UNSEEN BIOLOGY. ANOTHER RESULT OF THESE ADVANCES, HOWEVER, IS THE INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD APPRECIATION FOR THE VALUE OF MULTI-OMIC DATA UNIQUELY CAPABLE OF REVEALING THE CRITICAL INTERPLAY BETWEEN PROTEINS, MODIFIED PROTEINS, LIPIDS, AND METABOLITES. IT IS THIS ORCHESTRA OF KEY BIOLOGICAL EFFECTOR MOLECULES – NOT ANY ONE PLAYER, AND NOT SIMPLY GENES – THAT REGULATES COMPLEX ORGANISMS. THAT SAID, THE TECHNOLOGY PARADIGM REMAINS SINGLE-OME ANALYSIS; GLOBAL QUANTIFICATION METHODOLOGIES ARE NOT ROUTINE, EVEN FOR MOST EXPERT LABORATORIES. ATTAINING AND UNDERSTANDING MULTI-OMIC DATA IN EFFECT REQUIRES RESEARCHERS OR LABORATORIES TO TRIPLE THEIR EXPERTISE TO PIECE TOGETHER THE PROTOCOLS OF THREE DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES. INDEED, THE PROTEOME ALONE HARBORS TREMENDOUS COMPLEXITY THAT IS INACCESSIBLE TO CONVENTIONAL WIDELY EMPLOYED METHODS. PERVASIVE ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE TECHNOLOGIES WOULD GREATLY ACCELERATE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE NETWORKS THAT REGULATE THE HEALTH AND DISEASE OF COMPLEX ORGANISMS. THESE TECHNOLOGIES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR FURTHERING HUMAN HEALTH – FOR EXAMPLE BY ADVANCING THE MECHANISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF AGING TO LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR PERSONALIZED CANCER TREATMENT. THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR QUANTITATIVE BIOLOGY OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS (NCQBCS) EXPEDITES THIS TRANSFORMATION IN QUANTITATIVE BIOLOGY. FOR NEARLY A DECADE, THE NCQBCS HAS DEVELOPED AND DELIVERED NEXT-GENERATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR RAPID, ACCESSIBLE BIOMOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AND MEASUREMENT. THESE TECHNOLOGIES HAVE LED TO REMARKABLE BIOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES AND CONSIDERABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH PATENTS, TECHNOLOGY LICENSURE, AND COMMERCIALIZATION. THE CENTER IS NOW POISED TO OPTIMIZE THESE TECHNOLOGIES FOR BROAD DISSEMINATION TO EXPERTS AND NON-EXPERTS ALIKE, LOWERING THE BARRIER TO IMPROVED BIOMOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION, TO ACCESSIBLE MULTI-PLEXED QUANTIFICATION OF PROTEINS AND LIPIDS, AND TO FULLY INTEGRATED MULTI-OMIC WORKFLOWS. FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHERS, SUCCESS IN THESE GOALS WILL OPEN NEW AVENUES OF INQUIRY ACROSS HEALTH AND DISEASE CONTEXTS AND SAMPLE TYPES AND SCALES. | $3,654,310 |

| Department of Justice | ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL FORENSIC LABORATORY INFORMATION SYSTEM (NFLIS)-DRUG2021 ANNUAL REPORT, METHAMPHETAMINE WAS THE MOST FREQUENTLY IDENTIFIED DRUG IN FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL FORENSIC LABORATORIES. METHAMPHETAMINE EXISTS AS TWO STEREOISOMERS: DEXTRO-METHAMPHETAMINE (D-MAMP) AND LEVO-METHAMPHETAMINE (L-MAMP). THE D-MAMP STEREOISOMER IS A CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM STIMULANT AND DRUG OF ABUSE, AVAILABLE IN BOTH PHARMACEUTICAL AND CLANDESTINE PREPARATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE. AS CLANDESTINE LABS ARE RUDIMENTARY AND UNCONTROLLED, MOST STREET METHAMPHETAMINE IS A RACEMIC MIXTURE OF D-MAMP AND L-MAMP. THE L-MAMP STEREOISOMER IS ALSO AVAILABLE OVER THE COUNTER (OTC) IN NASAL DECONGESTANTS. HOWEVER, MOST FORENSIC LABORATORIES (INCLUDING SEIZED DRUGS AND TOXICOLOGY) DO NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN ISOMERS, ASSESSING SIMPLY FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. WITH ADVANCES IN LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGY AND LOWERING COSTS, FORENSIC LABORATORIES ARE INCREASINGLY MOVING FROM GC-MS TO LC-MS/MS TECHNIQUES. WITH THAT SHIFT, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INFORM AND EMPOWER TOXICOLOGY AND CRIME LABORATORIES TO SEPARATE AND QUANTIFY METHAMPHETAMINE AND AMPHETAMINE ENANTIOMERS IN CASEWORK. SEPARATING METHAMPHETAMINE ENANTIOMERS WILL MAXIMIZE INFORMATION GAINED FROM EXISTING FORENSIC EVIDENCE AND WORKFLOWS. ALONGSIDE INCREASING PREVALENCE IN DRUG REPORTS, 2021 RESULTS FROM THE NATIONAL SURVEY ON DRUG USE AND HEALTH (NSDUH) ESTIMATE THAT NEARLY ONEMILLION AMERICANS DROVE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE IN THE PAST YEAR. DESPITE WIDESPREAD METHAMPHETAMINE USE AND ABUSE, TRANSLATABLE KNOWLEDGE ON THE PHARMACOKINETICS OF BOTH METHAMPHETAMINE ENANTIOMERS ACROSS FORENSICALLY RELEVANT HUMAN BIOLOGICAL MATRICES IS LACKING FROM THE LITERATURE. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL METABOLITES (E.G., AMPHETAMINE AND P-HYDROXYMETHAMPHETAMINE) ARE PSYCHOACTIVE AND MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE IMPAIRMENT PROFILE OBSERVED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS. HOWEVER, THE STEREOSELECTIVITY OF METHAMPHETAMINE METABOLIC PATHWAYS REMAINS UNDEFINED, GIVING THOSE WHO INTERPRET TOXICOLOGICAL TESTING RESULTS LITTLE TO GO ON. THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO BEGIN FILLING THESE KNOWLEDGE GAPS THROUGH A HYBRID APPLIED AND FOUNDATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECT. SPECIFICALLY, THIS WORK WILL HAVE TWO MAJOR AIMS, (1) DEVELOP AND VALIDATE AN ACCESSIBLE METHAMPHETAMINE ENANTIOMER-SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION AND QUANTIFICATION METHOD TO MAXIMIZE INFORMATION GAINED FROM EXISTING FORENSIC EVIDENCE AND (2) CONTRIBUTE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL SCIENTIFIC BASIS OF KNOWLEDGE SURROUNDING METHAMPHETAMINE PHARMACOLOGY. OF NOTE, THE PROPOSED WORK SEEKS TO QUANTIFY METHAMPHETAMINE ENANTIOMER AND METABOLITE CONCENTRATIONS IN SEVERAL HUMAN BIOLOGICAL MATRICES FOLLOWING CONTROLLED STUDY DRUG ADMINISTRATION. WE WILL ALSO CORRELATE ANALYTE CONCENTRATIONS ACROSS PLASMA, WHOLE BLOOD, AND ORAL FLUID. DATA GATHERED FROM THIS WORK WILL DIRECTLY INFORM FORENSIC SCIENCE PRACTICE AND TRANSLATION OF RESULTS TO LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. CA/NCF | $1,565,409 |
