Project Title: Assessment of the
Impact of Energy Development on the
Behavioral Health of Women in Western
North Dakota and Eastern Montana, The
Region VIII Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health (OASH), Office on
Women’s Health (OWH).
Abstract: The Office on Women’s
Health (OWH) in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is requesting approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for a new data collection
for the Assessment of the Impact of
Energy Development on the Behavioral
Health of Women in Western North
Dakota and Eastern Montana. Its
mission is to provide national
leadership and coordination to improve
the health of women and girls through
policy, education and model programs.
Region VIII OASH/OWH is interested in
improving women’s behavioral health
associated with the impact of energy
development through gender based data
collection and analysis. The discovery
and subsequent development of the
Parshall Oil Field within the Bakken
region of Western North Dakota has led
to significant economic opportunity and
population growth in the region (Eastern
Montana and Western North Dakota).
Rapid population growth has many
intended and unintended consequences,
both positive and negative, on the social
and economic environment of the region
and, consequently, the population’s
health and well-being.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: There are welldocumented environmental health
issues associated with oil and gas
development, including air, water, soil,
noise, and light pollution. However,
there are additional social, physical and
mental health effects that are less well
documented. Current research is very
limited, but preliminary evidence
suggests that women have unmet
behavioral health needs due in part to
the energy development and population
surge in region. These data will
ultimately be used to understand the
impact of energy development on the
behavioral health of women in Eastern
Montana and Western North Dakota.

There will be a final report that is
thematically organized and describes
key findings and strategic
recommendations for Region VIII
OASH/OWH to consider supporting
future evidence-based program
development and implementation,
policy recommendations, and future
research.
Likely Respondents: Data for this
assessment will be collected through
three mechanisms—a survey of women
living in the assessment geography,
focus groups with a cross-section of
women and other key groups living in
the assessment geography, key leaders
and stakeholders across a variety of
governmental and non-governmental
sectors.

HIV Targets CD62L on Central Memory
T Cells Through Viral Envelope

Selectin Shedding for Viral Release
Description of Technology
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

AGENCY:
301–496–2644. A signed Confidential
Disclosure Agreement will be required
to receive copies of unpublished patent
applications.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Technology description follows.
Sfmt 4703
Despite the success of anti-retroviral
therapy in controlling HIV in infected
individuals, treatment is less effective at
eliminating HIV viral reservoirs. The
nature of HIV reservoirs and the factors
controlling their size and release are a
major research focus for achieving a
cure for HIV/AIDS.
NIAID researchers have identified Lselectin/CD62L as a new target for
treating HIV by inhibiting viral release
from infected cells. They found that
shedding of CD62L on T cells is
required for the efficient release of HIV
virus from infected cells. Further, they
have shown that inhibition of CD62L
shedding dramatically reduced HIV–1
infection and viral release from both
viremic and aviremic CD4+ T cells.
Therefore, inhibitors for CD62L
sheddase can function as an anti-HIV
treatment that may be effective alone or
in combination with existing
therapeutics.
This technology is available for
licensing for commercial development
in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37
CFR part 404, as well as for further
development and evaluation under a
research collaboration.
Potential Commercial Applications
• New target for HIV therapeutic
development.
