Year: 2024-2029
Funding Amount: $3,992,918 ($244,749 for UT Tyler)
Overall Objectives:
Using micro-randomized trial (MRT) design to evaluate the efficacy of JomPrEP+ intervention
components and time-varying moderators of those effects. Using the collected data
develop machine learning algorithms to predict risk behaviors.

Year: 2021-2026
Funding Amount: $2,794,132 ($861,744 for UT-Tyler)
Overall Objectives:
To use cardiorespiratory dynamics (characteristics and patterns of heart rate, respiratory
rate, and oxygen saturations) soon after birth from the existing large cohort of opioid-exposed
newborns at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to develop and validate mathematical
models to predict (a) onset of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), (b) changes
in magnitude of NOWS as estimated by Finnegan scoring, and (c) abnormal polysomnographic
(sleep) study at three months of age.
