KANSAS CITY QUALITY AND VALUE INNOVATION CONSORTIUM 5. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT 6. RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAMS 7. ANNUAL DINNER AND "SCIENCE TO ART" AUCTION 8. ONE HEALTH RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM 9. ONE HEALTH DAY 10. KC NEXUS FUND 1. REGIONAL LIFE SCIENCES STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT: "PATH TO 2025" DESPITE THE CHALLENGES SURROUNDING COVID-19, BIONEXUS KC CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON REGIONAL EFFORTS TO BE A GLOBAL LEADER AT THE NEXUS OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL HEALTH: UNITING LEADERS AND SCIENTISTS TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES, AND ADVANCE LIFE SCIENCES RESEARCH. BIONEXUS KC'S PROGRAMMING CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON INITIATIVES IDENTIFIED AS OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PATH TO 2025, THE 10-YEAR STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT THAT WAS COMMISSIONED IN 2015 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DELOITTE. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE DETAILED BELOW. IN LATE 2020, BIONEXUS KC VIRTUALLY CONVENED ITS OWN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM AND ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR A TWO-DAY STRATEGIC RETREAT FOCUSED ON EVALUATING AND PRIORITIZING THE ORGANIZATION'S CURRENT EFFORTS AND ITS FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES. AS A RESULT OF THE RETREAT, BIONEXUS KC LEADERSHIP DEVELOPED A FRAMEWORK THAT WILL BE APPLIED TO CONFIRM THE VALUE OF CURRENT EFFORTS AND EVALUATE FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES. 2. CONVENE KC AND COVID-19 IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19, BIONEXUS KC CONVENED THE LIFE SCIENCES AND HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY VIRTUALLY TO DISCUSS CONDITIONS ON THE FRONT LINES OF CARE AND RESEARCH. THE SERIES FEATURED THOUGHT LEADERS AND EXPERTS WHO HIGHLIGHTED CUTTING-EDGE INITIATIVES IMPACTING THE REGIONAL PANDEMIC RESPONSE AND GENERATED DISCUSSION OF HOW THE COMMUNITY COULD BE BETTER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORONAVIRUS. THE FOCUS OF CONVENE KC WAS TO UNIFY AND PROVIDE EDUCATION TO THE REGION WITH DATA AND RESEARCH. CONVENE KC FEATURED A DIVERSE SPEAKER LINEUP FROM ACROSS THE REGION AND COVERED A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS, INCLUDING: UNITING TO COMBAT COVID-19 REGIONAL COVID-19 INITIATIVES HEALTH INEQUITIES AND DISPARITIES HIGHLIGHTED BY COVID-19 COMMUNITY RESPONSE IMPORTANCE OF TESTING AND REGIONAL TESTING EFFORTS CONTACT TRACING TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGIES AND REMOTE CARE COMEBACK KC REGIONAL STRATEGY REGIONAL INNOVATION AND THE IGNITEX COVID-19 RESPONSE ACCELERATOR BY FOSTERING COLLABORATION DURING THIS TIME OF CRISIS, BIONEXUS KC FACILITATED IN HELPING THE KC REGION EMBRACE INNOVATION AND DEVELOP A RESPONSE TO COVID-19 THAT WAS UNIQUE AND EFFECTIVE. SUBSEQUENTLY, BIONEXUS KC RECEIVED A $42,900.00 GRANT FROM HEALTH FORWARD FOUNDATION FOR A PROJECT ENTITLED "COVID-19 PREPAREDNESS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS IN SAFETY NET PROVIDER POPULATIONS." THE STATED OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE SAMUEL U. RODGERS HEALTH CENTER WITH A POPULATION LEVEL CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOL TO ENHANCE COVID-19 PREPAREDNESS AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES AMONG DIABETIC PATIENTS WHO POSSESS HIGH RISK OF ICU ADMISSIONS AND DEATH DUE TO COMORBIDITIES AND SOCIOECONOMIC HEALTH DISPARITIES WITH THE HELP FROM ABADA HEALTH (FORMERLY HELIX HEALTH) AND A MIDWEST HEALTH CONNECTION, A HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE NETWORK. 3. COLLABORATE2CURE BIONEXUS KC CREATED THE COLLABORATE2CURE (C2C) PROGRAM IN 2016 WITH THE GOAL OF STIMULATING REGIONAL SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION AND DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE WAYS TO SOLVE SCIENTIFIC CHALLENGES. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES A PLATFORM FOR COLLABORATION, ALLOWING SCIENTISTS IN THE KC REGION TO SHARE THEIR RESEARCH AND TO BETTER COMPETE FOR RESEARCH FUNDING. BIONEXUS KC IDENTIFIES A TOPIC WITH SIGNIFICANT INTEREST TO RESEARCHERS WHICH ALIGNS WELL WITH REGIONAL EXPERTISE, AND THEN COORDINATES A SERIES OF PRESENTATIONS FROM RESEARCHERS OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS. IN MID-2020, BIONEXUS KC LAUNCHED ITS FOURTH COLLABORATE2CURE SERIES TO CONVENE AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD) RESEARCHERS, CLINICIANS, PATIENTS, AND ADVOCATES IN THE HOPES OF FOSTERING PRODUCTIVE COLLABORATIONS. THE PROGRAM WAS CHAIRED BY DR. ZOHREH TALEBIZADEH OF CHILDREN'S MERCY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI KANSAS CITY. THE COLLABORATE2CURE MONTHLY VIRTUAL PROGRAM PROVIDED A PLATFORM FOR PARTNERSHIP, CONVENING THE REGION'S ROBUST AUTISM NETWORK, COMPRISED OF BASIC RESEARCHERS, CLINICIANS, PATIENT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND START-UP COMPANIES TO SHARE THEIR RESEARCH AND EXPERTISE. OVER THE FIRST SIX EVENTS IN THE SERIES, MORE THAN 415 ATTENDEES CAME TOGETHER TO DISCUSS TOPICS RANGING FROM PERSONALIZED INTERVENTIONS TO COMORBIDITIES AND SUBTYPES. THE GOAL OF THE 2020 ASD SERIES WAS TO BRING TOGETHER DISCIPLINES TO LEARN ABOUT A VARIETY OF RESEARCH AND CLINICAL ISSUES RELATED TO ASD, AND TO FORMALIZE A PATIENT-CENTERED MIDWEST AUTISM RESEARCH CONSORTIUM BASED HERE IN KANSAS CITY. THIS CONSORTIUM WILL MAKE THE REGION MORE COMPETITIVE FOR RESEARCH FUNDING, MORE TARGETED CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS, AND RAISE REGIONAL AWARENESS OF THE IMPACT OF ASD ON INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES. 4. KANSAS CITY QUALITY AND VALUE INNOVATION CONSORTIUM THE KANSAS CITY QUALITY AND VALUE INNOVATION CONSORTIUM (KC QVIC) IS A NOVEL COLLABORATION OF STAKEHOLDERS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE VALUE OF HEALTHCARE IN KANSAS CITY. THE LONGTERM MISSION IS TO ELEVATE THE REGION AND TO SERVE AS A VEHICLE FOR MORE RAPIDLY TESTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NEW INNOVATIONS IN HEALTHCARE DELIVERY. THE FOCUS OF THE KC QVIC IS ON THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES OF REGIONAL HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS. THE KC QVIC HAS FORMULATED TWO PROJECTS TO ENGAGE MULTIPLE HEALTH SYSTEMS IN A VALUE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, SUPPORTED BY THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY. BOTH PROJECTS AIM TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES: 1. OPIOID MANAGEMENT 2. TRANSITIONS IN CARE FOR HEART FAILURE THROUGHOUT 2020, THE KC QVIC CONTINUED HOSTING A MONTHLY COMMUNITY FORUM TO DISCUSS PRIORITIES TO ENHANCE THE VALUE OF CARE IN KANSAS CITY. THE OBJECTIVE OF STRENGTHENING AND LIFTING THE QUALITY AND VALUE OF HEALTHCARE WILL REQUIRE SUPPORT FROM EVERYONE IN THE HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY. THIS BROAD, PATIENT-CENTERED, HOLISTIC APPROACH WILL LEVERAGE RESOURCES TO TURN THIS VISION INTO A REALITY. IN SEPTEMBER 2020, BIONEXUS KC AWARDED THE KC QVIC A $79,900 GRANT TO FACILITATE DATA ACQUISITION, AMPLIFY MESSAGING, AND SUSTAIN GROWTH FOR THEIR FIRST TWO PILOT PROJECTS. 5. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WAS IDENTIFIED IN BIONEXUS KC'S PATH TO 2025 REPORT AS A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO AND CRITICAL WEAKNESS IN THE REGIONAL LIFE SCIENCE CLUSTER. THE 2020 ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: STEM LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ACTIVITIES. STRONG STEM LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS FEATURE DYNAMIC COLLABORATIONS AMONG SCHOOLS, OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS, STEM EXPERT INSTITUTIONS (SUCH AS MUSEUMS, SCIENCE CENTERS, INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND STEM PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS), THE PRIVATE SECTOR, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, YOUTH AND FAMILIES. THE KC STEM ALLIANCE HAS PROVIDED THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT ORGANIZING STEM RESOURCES IN THE REGION WITH ASSISTANCE FROM SEVERAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING BIONEXUS KC. THE LOCAL INITIATIVE HAS BEEN RENAMED STEM CONNECT-KC AND THE LEADERSHIP TEAM EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. DESPITE THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON IN-PERSON EDUCATION DURING THE PANDEMIC, STEM CONNECT-KC SWIFTLY CONVERTED TO VIRTUAL FORMATS FOR IMPACTFUL PROGRAM DELIVERY. BIONEXUS KC CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S SUCCESS THROUGH PARTICIPATION ON THEIR LEADERSHIP TEAM. REAL WORLD LEARNING CHANGING THE CORE FOUNDATION OF HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION WAS A KEY RECOMMENDATION THAT CAME FROM THE KC RISING EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TASK FORCE IN 2017. CO-CHAIRED BY KEITH GARY FROM BIONEXUS KC, AND LEIGH ANNE TAYLOR-KNIGHT FROM THE DEBRUCE FOUNDATION, THE YEARLONG EFFORT ENGAGED EDUCATION, BUSINESS, AND CIVIC LEADERS TO ASSESS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. FORTUNATELY, WORK HAD ALREADY BEGUN AT THE KAUFFMAN FOUNDATION TO ENGAGE IN THIS IMPORTANT WORK. BIONEXUS KC HAS CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE KAUFFMAN FOUNDATION AS THEY PARTNER WITH STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS THE KC REGION TO SUPPORT SYSTEMIC INTEGRATION OF MARKET VALUE ASSETS (MVAS; DUAL COLLEGE CREDITS, ENTREPRENEURIAL EXPERIENCES, INDUSTRY RECOGNIZED CREDENTIALS, WORK EXPERIENCES) INTO SCHOOLS. THE FOUNDATION'S EARLY RESEARCH CONVERGED WITH OBSERVATIONS OF LOCAL EMPLOYERS AND WORKFORCE GROUPS THAT RWL MUST BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM FOR STUDENTS TO LEAVE FUTURE READY. CURRENTLY, THE INITIATIVE FUNDS OVER 30 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE KC REGION BENEFITTING APPROXIMATELY 100,000 STUDENTS. BIOTECHNICIAN ASSISTANT CREDENTIALING EXAM (BACE) BIONEXUS KC BEGAN ENGAGING INDUSTRY PARTNERS TO SHARE SPECIFIC DETAILS OF THE BACE CREDENTIAL AND ENGAGE IN DISCUSSIONS OF ITS RELEVANCE TO COMPANIES AND THE POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR ASSESSING CANDIDATES FOR EMPLOYMENT.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | 6. BIONEXUS KC'S RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAMS BIONEXUS KC'S RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT GRANTS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO GENERATE PRELIMINARY DATA THAT SUPPORT SUBMISSION OF MAJOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH PROPOSALS TO GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE FUNDING AGENCIES. APPLICANTS RECEIVE WRITTEN PEER REVIEWS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEIR PROJECT RECEIVED FUNDING, TO HELP THEM IMPROVE FUTURE GRANT APPLICATIONS. THIS IS A VALUED SERVICE APPRECIATED BY ALL TEN STAKEHOLDERS. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PRESENTED UNIQUE CHALLENGES TO BIONEXUS KC'S RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAM, ONE OF ITS OLDEST AND MOST POPULAR PROGRAMS. WITH RESEARCHERS LOCKED DOWN AND SHUT OUT OF THEIR LABORATORIES, GRANT PROJECTS CAME TO AN ABRUPT HALT. ONCE THE LOCKDOWN WAS LIFTED, GRANTEES RETURNED TO GENERATING PRELIMINARY DATA SUPPORTING SUBMISSION OF MAJOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH PROPOSALS TO GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE FUNDING AGENCIES.

THE KC REGION HAS SOME OF THE BEST RESEARCHERS AND CLINICIANS WORKING IN SOME OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS. THE THEME FOR THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL EVENT WAS, "LEARN. ADAPT. THRIVE" WITH THE MESSAGE THAT "KANSAS CITY WILL BE AT THE FOREFRONT AS WE LEARN NOVEL WAYS TO COLLABORATE, ADAPT OUR METHODS TO FIT OUR NEW NORMAL AND WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD A FUTURE IN WHICH WE ALL THRIVE." THE EVENT FEATURED CALANEET BALAS, PRESIDENT & CEO OF THE ALS ASSOCIATION, AN ORGANIZATION WITH EXPERIENCE IN BUILDING A ROBUST AND REACTIVE ECOSYSTEM OF COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION. BALAS'S COMMENTS WERE HEAVILY TIED TO THE PANDEMIC, AS THE ALS ASSOCIATION QUICKLY ADAPTED BY PROVIDING REMOTE SUPPORT AND UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY FOR MEANINGFUL CARE SERVICE INTERVENTIONS. IN 2014, THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE CREATED AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS) RESEARCH AND CARE. THROUGHOUT 2020, BIONEXUS KC ENGAGED WITH POWERFUL ORGANIZATIONS EMBEDDED WITHIN KC'S LIFE SCIENCES AND HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY. WITH AN EFFECTIVE AND RESPONSIVE ECOSYSTEM, THE REGION LEVERAGED ITS EXPERTISE, ASSETS AND DETERMINATION IN FIELDS SUCH AS RARE DISEASE, INFORMATICS AND HEALTH EQUITY. THE REGION CAME TOGETHER TO LEARN, ADAPT, AND THRIVE BY IDENTIFYING AND IMPLEMENTING MEANINGFUL CHANGE AS THE REGION SHIFTS INTO ITS NEXT PHASE. OUR ANNUAL EVENT FEATURED CALANEET BALAS, PRESIDENT & CEO OF THE ALS ASSOCIATION, AND FOCUSED ON BUILDING A RESILIENT AND RESPONSIVE ECOSYSTEM THAT COULD RAPIDLY RESPOND TO SUPPORT INNOVATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TREATMENTS, EVEN IN TIMES OF CRISIS. OUR ONE HEALTH RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM FOCUSED ON BIOSENSORS AND SHOWCASED HOW OUR REGION IS USING THE CONSTANT STREAMS OF DATA PRODUCED TO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF HUMANS, ANIMALS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. THE EVENT ENDED WITH FIVE TAKEAWAYS FROM DENNIS RIDENOUR, PRESIDENT AND CEO. LOOK AT EVERYTHING THROUGH A LENS OF DIVERSITY TO SEE HOW THE SYSTEMS BUILT HAVE DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE OF COLOR AND FIND WAYS TO CHANGE IT. EMPOWER RESEARCHERS TO EXPLORE NEW FIELDS AND TURN THAT RESEARCH INTO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT IMPROVE LIVES. CONNECT WITH BIONEXUS KC, INFORM ORGANIZATIONS ABOUT AREAS OF INTEREST. HELP IDENTIFY NEW AND EXCITING AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE REGION. PROMOTE COLLABORATION. THE SCIENCE TO ART SILENT AUCTION RAISED OVER $5,000 WHICH WAS MATCHED BY BIONEXUS KC TO SUPPORT STEAM EDUCATION, SPECIFICALLY BIOGENEIUS, PREP-KC, SCIENCE CITY AND THE GREATER KANSAS CITY SCIENCE & ENGINEERING FAIR, AND FREE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AT THE KEMPER MUSEUM. 8.
