THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY IS TO IDENTIFY THE BURDEN OF ROTAVIRUS IN ADULTS AND ELDERLY IN THE POST-VACCINE ERA; TO IDENTIFY THE STRAINS OF ROTAVIRUS CAUSING DISEASE IN THESE POPULATIONS AND COMPARE TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY USING OTHER SURVEILLANCE DATASETS AND TO QUANTIFY THE BURDEN OF NOROVIRUS IN ADULTS AND ELDERLY IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS GROUP BEING A POTENTIAL TARGET GROUP FOR VACCINATION. 651123 THE STUDY SERVES AS A VALUABLE BENCHMARK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFLUENZA VACCINES AND PROVIDES KEY INSIGHT INTO THE MAINTENANCE OF IMMUNITY TO A CONSTANTLY CHANGING VIRUS. AREAS OF FOCUS BEING EXPLORED BY THIS STUDY INCLUDE: VIROLOGIC SURVEILLANCE FOR INFLUENZA, MONITORING FOR ANTIVIRAL-RESISTANCE AMONG CIRCULATING STRAINS, AND EVALUATION OF NEW DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR RAPID AND BEDSIDE DETECTION OF INFLUENZA. 465972 THIS IS AN ON-GOING CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY ON PEOPLE WITH TYPE II DIABETES. IT COMPARES FOUR DIFFERENT COMMONLY USED DIABETES MEDICATIONS IN COMBINATION WITH METFORMIN. THE STUDY IS LOOKING AT HOW WELL EACH COMBINATION WORKS TO CONTOL BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHICH COMBINATION WORKS THE BEST. IT IS ALSO LOOKING AT THE BENEFITS AND SIDE EFFECTS OF EACH COMBINATION. 3499657 ALL OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 3965629 9378831 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 11 0 1 132 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 GA X X GUY JOHNSON CONTROLLER 7704159187 2250 NORTH DRUID HILLS ROAD SUITE ATLANTA GA 30329 C MICHAEL HART MD PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 W MICHAEL HEEKIN SECRETARY 0.50 X X 0 0 0 B STANTON BREON JR CFA CPA TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 AJAY DHAWAN MD BOARD MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 ANNE TOMOLO MD BOARD MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 MACHELLE PARDUE PHD BOARD MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 STUART ZOLA PHD BOARD MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 VIRGINIA KRAWIEC MPA BOARD MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 ELLEN MANGIONE MD BOARD MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHLOE KNIGHT TONNEY BOARD MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 LESLIE HUGHES EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 120564 0 5734 120564 0 5734 1 0 0 0 0 8268234 2676546 10944780 22909 22909 10967689 0 0 22909 2220833 2220833 126298 126298 5516185 4809358 706827 154456 133995 20461 502935 434004 68931 416546 355403 61143 7698 7698 37750 37750 164134 112640 51494 43784 38204 5580 11188 4701 6487 16976 16976 74619 61489 13130 64181 58455 5726 61617 61617 28519 28519 PROJECT EXPENSE 650831 650831 LAB SUPPLIES 389545 382686 6859 SUBJECT COSTS 82698 82698 PUBLICATIONS/SUBSCRIPTI 30049 15712 14337 17081 10124 6957 10617923 9378831 1239092 0 480065 334929 6407612 4592400 2339209 1636807 56616 51962 1936252 1052298 945571 883954 10229073 7500052 1536755 1011800 3279855 726023 4816610 1737823 X 4097067 4170830 1315396 1591399 5412463 5762229 10229073 7500052 349766 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X VETERANS AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER DECATUR GA 1219031 394604 824427 549945 490418 59527 167276 167276 0 883954 X 10967689 0 10967689 0 10967689 10617923 0 10617923 0 10617923 PART X, LINE 2: THE FOUNDATION ACCOUNTS FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACCOUNTING STANDARDS THAT PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON WHEN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS ARE RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND HOW THE VALUES OF THESE POSITIONS ARE DETERMINED.
