The UConn Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (i.e., UConn Pepper Center), plans to submit an application for competitive renewal to the National Institute on Aging at NIH. At this time, the UConn Pepper Center Pilot/Exploratory Studies Core (PESC) seeks letters of intent (LOIs) for studies to be included in the application. Studies selected for inclusion in the application will be funded contingent upon continued funding of the UConn Pepper Center. We are seeking Letters of Intent (LOIs) for 1-year pilot and exploratory studies that focus on enhancing function and independence in older adults while also advancing knowledge in the UConn Pepper Center theme of Precision Gerontology, and that will support future grant applications. We welcome a variety of research approaches, ranging from biological to clinical/behavioral to health services/community-based research. Projects focusing on cognition and behavior, host defense and immunity, voiding and continence, and mobility and falls are of particular interest. For proposed studies involving human subjects research, secondary data analysis-based projects are encouraged. Projects involving primary data collection are allowed but must be sufficiently feasible to complete within 1 year. LOIs are due by September 10, 2025 Full-time UConn and JAX faculty are eligible to apply for PESC funding. Priority will be given to junior faculty/early-stage investigators as well as established investigators pursuing aging-related research (relevant to Precision Gerontology) as a new area of research. Investigators may request up to $50,000 (direct costs) for a 1-year pilot project. Those interested in submitting an LOI are strongly encouraged to contact the PESC Co-Leaders Dr. Lisa Barry (libarry@uchc.edu) Dr. Blanka Rogina (rogina@uchc.edu) and to visit the UConn Pepper Center website to learn more about the theme of Precision Gerontology and the UConn Pepper Center Research Resource Cores. https://health.uconn.edu/pepper-center/ Those seeking to apply for UConn PESC funding must submit the following by September 10, 2025: 1. A 1-page Letter of Intent (LOI) that includes:Brief description of the Specific Aims, Significance, and Approach; Statement as to how the proposed study aligns with the UConn Pepper Center theme of Precision Gerontology; Statement of how the proposed study will utilize applicable UConn Pepper Center Research Resource Cores. 2. On a separate page, a brief budget and timeline 3. NIH Biosketch for Principal Investigator. Please send LOIs to Ms. Laura Masi (masi@uchc.edu) Individuals selected to submit full proposals will be notified by the PESC Co-Leaders.

Abstract:While routing in wireless networks has been studied extensively, existing protocols are typically designed for specific network conditions and fail to accommodate dynamic changes. In this dissertation, our goal is developing routing strategies that generalize to diverse traffic patterns, congestion levels, link dynamics, and node mobility. We develop a framework that use deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to achieve this goal.The first part of the dissertation focuses on stationary wireless networks. We achieve generalizability using relational features as inputs to the deep neural network, and scalability using packet-centric decision-making, extended-time actions, and sampling-based training. Using a packet-level simulator, we evaluate our routing algorithm extensively and show that the policy our algorithm learns during training is able to generalize to larger and more congested networks, different topologies, and diverse link dynamics. Our algorithm outperforms shortest path and backpressure routing with respect to packets delivered and delay per packet.Building on the above results, the second part of the dissertation focuses on mobile wireless networks, which is significantly more challenging than stationary networks. To support a wider range of mobile network conditions, we are currently developing a more robust, generalizable base model. This effort will require the design of new features and the exploration of novel learning approaches to ensure that the learned policy is effective in environments that differ significantly from its training data.

Many instructors administer online assessments through HuskyCT, and this overview session is an introduction to the Test and Assignment tools in the Ultra Course View version of HuskyCT. We will cover the basics of these tools to ensure a smooth experience for both you and your students. We will focus on creating different types of assessments and a review of the options that determine the test-taking experience for your students. We will also touch on some of the other third-party assessment tools available to instructors, such as Gradescope.

Boren Awards program provides U.S. undergraduate and graduate students with up to $25,000 in funding and encouragement to acquire language skills and experience in countries critical to the future security and stability of the United States. In exchange for funding, Boren Award recipients agree to work in the federal government for a period of one year. Since its inception in 2006, the CLS Program has supported nearly 10,000 participants to gain critical language skills and intercultural competence, which are in demand in a globalized workforce and increase a student's competitiveness across career fields. Each summer, over 500 American students enrolled at colleges and universities across the United States spend approximately eight weeks studying one of a dozen languages either overseas or virtually. Participants gain the equivalent of one year of language study, as the CLS Program maximizes language and cultural instruction in an intensive environment. This presentation is a chance for interested parties to learn about the Boren Awards and Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program, and how to apply. We will give you statistics, pro-tips, and sage advice. We want applicants to be as competitive as possible, and this presentation might be the first step that changes your life forever! SPEAKERS: Michael Saffle (Boren Awards Outreach Specialist, Institute of International Education) and Caitlin Ting (Assistant Manager for Outreach and Selection, American Councils for International Education).
