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.
