SONGS Mitigation Monitoring Program, 2022-2023

As mitigation for the effects of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), Southern California Edison Company (SCE) was required by the California Coastal Commission to construct an artificial reef large enough to sustain 150 acres of kelp forest. Several performance standards must be met in order for SCE to receive full credit for the mitigation provided by the artificial reef. The proposed work will gather data necessary to evaluate thre...

Statewide Collision Data Analysis, Research Studies, and Ranking Program

The project aims to enhance traffic safety and allocation efficiency of precious safety resources using advanced ranking of statewide collisions. It consists of the regression method and the empirical Bayesian framework. In specific, the crash count models are developed for 13 categories among both counties and incorporated cities in California. To facilitate the model development, the raw data will be collected from variou...

COVID-19 and Southeast Asian Americans

Unlike other ethnic minority groups, data on the impacts of COVID-19 on Southeast Asian Americans (SEAAs) are limited, oftentimes aggregated with other Asian American groups, thus limiting targeted assistance efforts. Without adequate data to inform best practices around testing and vaccination, many SEAAs become invisible Americans who have difficulties navigating a health care system that inadvertently excludes them. SEAAs have large disparities gap due to...

Dynamics of Trust Evolution and Calibration: A Field Study of Heterogeneous Human-Machine Teams with High Levels of Autonomy Operating in Contexts with Real Users, Real Systems, and Real Consequences

In the past decade, research on human machine team (HMT) trust has burgeoned. However, most studies have been limited to laboratory/simulation-based environments with a single operator interacting with the machine. While such studies are valuable in exploring solution approaches, there is a lack of...

CSU Center for Transformational Educator Preparation Programs (CTEPP)

CTEPP will leverage the successes of the New Generation of Educators Initiative (NGEI) ?Learning Lab to Close the Teacher Diversity Gap? toward the aim of recruiting, preparing, and retaining Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) teachers to serve California?s diverse student population. CTEPP is sponsoring CSUN to enact proposed project activities. CTEPP works across CSU campuses, and organizes and facilitates networki...

FACT: Interactive Deep Learning Platform and Multi-source Data Integration for Improved Soil Moisture Forecasting

The overarching goal of this proposal is to develop a deep learning computational platform that integrates multi-scale, multi-sensor soil moisture observations, a seasonal climate model, and user input in real-time, and provides useful climate information for agricultural planning on sub-seasonal to seasonal timescales. The proposal builds on the several years of collaborative researc...

Sexual Assault Response Team (XS) Program

Strength United plans to commit a qualified, full-time Sexual Assault Counselor to act as the SART Advocate to the program by screening, selecting, training, and supervising a skilled provider to work within clear job duties out of the FJC four days a week and SU's Newhall location one day each week. (The FJC is where forensic examinations are conducted for both service areas.) The Advocate will be verified bilingual and dedicated to two objectives: enhan...

California Subject Matter Project Grant for the Cal State Northridge Writing Project

This funding supports all Cal State Northridge Writing Project activities including the Invitational Summer Institute, Young Writer's Camp, the fall Write to Literacy Conference, and various workshops, study groups and other professional development activities for area teachers.

San Fernando Valley Science Project

In the upcoming years, teachers of science and science educators will continue to be challenged by the concurrent demands of implementation in the their classrooms of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Literacy in Science and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Additionally, the new English Language Development (ELD) Standards call all teachers, not only ELD teachers, to become knowledgeable and proficient about strategies that facilitate the acqu...

Developing a standardized statewide geospatial dataset of water agencies for California

The Water Resources and Policy Initiatives (WRPI) seeks to create a standardized statewide geospatial dataset of water agencies for California. The dataset will contain clean, consistent geometry and key information (attributes) about the state?s array of water agencies and their operations. In order to initiate this effort, the framework for this database, including a standardized classification system and pi...

Tumor-targeting Salmonella expressing apoptosis-inducing cytotoxic proteins

Tumor-targeting bacteria offer a number of advantages over other cancer drug delivery systems, including targeting of multiple tumors from a distant inoculation site, selective intratumoral replication, a high degree of attenuation and safety, and the ability to express anti-cancer proteins directly within the tumor. Remarkably, attenuated Salmonella localize within solid tumors at levels at least 1000 times greater than...
