PHR: PI: Hohmann, Lindsey A PROJECT NARRATIVE  Opioid misuse continues to be a major public health issue in the United States, especially in the Deep South where the opioid prescribing rate is disproportionately higher and a scarcity of opioid harm reduction services leads to disparities and gaps in access to care among vulnerable populations including older adults and elderly (≥65 years), racial and ethnic minorities (Black, Latinx, and Indigenous), and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+). It is crucial that healthcare providers are aware of and address these disparities when treating vulnerable populations; however, healthcare professionals lack training and awareness regarding opioid harm reduction strategies in these priority populations and may be influenced by stigmatizing attitudes. To address this, the Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy (HCOP) Center for Opioid Research, Education, and Outreach (COACH) will host a series of three annual conferences among an interdisciplinary mix of healthcare professionals focused on safe opioid use and harm reduction strategies in vulnerable populations with three objectives: 1) describe current guidelines for safe opioid prescribing and harm reduction strategies; 2) apply safe opioid practices to older adult, racial and ethnic minority, and LGBTQ+ patient cases; and 3) establish a network of interdisciplinary healthcare professionals for future collaborative research, education, and outreach efforts in priority populations.

PHR: Project Narrative Opioid abuse has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and is responsible for more than 40,000 overdose deaths each year 1. Avoidance of significant physical and emotional turmoil during withdrawal, and exposure to drug-associated cues are two key deterrents to voluntary abstinence in those suffering from substance abuse disorder.

PHR: PROJECT NARRATIVE This project will transform our understanding of the implications of education for cognitive functioning, cognitive impairment, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) and cognitive aging later in life. Using a unique prospective longitudinal data source (High School and Beyond), it will allow us to answer questions about (a) whether social and educational disparities by race/ethnicity in adolescence shape racial/ethnic disparities in cognitive impairment at midlife; (b) whether biological and social factors moderate the effects of education on cognitive functioning and impairment; and (c) the social and economic pathways through which those effects operate over the life course. Quantifying the magnitude of the effects of education on cognitive functioning and impairment will inform efforts to use educational and other interventions to improve the midlife cognitive functioning of future cohorts of Americans.

PHR: Project Narrative  Most research on visual neuroscience is currently carried out in mice or monkeys, but additional animal models are needed to understand whether findings in these animals generalize to others. The tree shrew is an ideal small animal model with a primate-like visual system that has over several decades become useful in studies of the visual system in health and disease. The Tree Shrew Discovery Meeting will gather diverse scientists and trainees from the US and abroad to share knowledge and training that will ultimately help the neuroscience community find answers regarding disorders of the human visual system, such as myopia, glaucoma, amblyopia, and cortical blindness.

This workshop is part of a major effort by the AUA to develop an enduring urology-wide program devoted to improving the number and quality of urology research grant applications submitted to the NIH, which has been identified as a critical deficiency in the pipeline of surgeon-scientists and other urology investigators including MDs and PhDs. Without intervention by the AUA, the development of improvements in urology patient diagnosis, treatment, and hopefully cures, will be further stalled and/or eliminated, at a time when the number of patients with urologic diseases and conditions is rapidly growing.
