Abstract of Patent Application(s) The present invention discloses cured composites having improved surfaces and processes of making and methods of using same. Such processes use ultrashort pulse lasers, for example, a femtosecond laser to ablate material without the detrimental heat affected zones of other laser processes. Such process can not only increases surface roughness and clean contaminates, but can also selectively remove the matrix material and expose the surface fibers of cured composites. The treated cured composites have improved thermal and electrical pathways that can dissipate unwanted heat and electricity when two or more prepregs and/or cured composites are bonded or cured to form a single article. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Intellectual Property U.S. Application Publication No. 2022/0274369, published on 1 September 2022, and entitled PREPREGS AND CURED COMPOSITES HAVING IMPROVED SURFACES AND PROCESSES OF MAKING AND METHODS OF USING SAME. The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed license.

The determination is based on the consideration that it is expected that discussions throughout will involve classified matters of national security concern. Such classified material is so intertwined with the unclassified material that it cannot reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of the overall meetings. To permit the meeting to be open to the public would preclude discussion of such matters and would greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the DSB’s findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and to the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering.

Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Program: The purpose of the MHP TA Center is to provide technical assistance to current Department grantees awarded funds under the fiscal years 2022 and 2023 Mental Health Service Professional Demonstration (MHSP) and the SchoolBased Mental Health Services (SBMH) grant programs and to disseminate resources and information to support State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), institutions of higher education (IHEs), and other stakeholders, more broadly, in the preparation of school-based mental health services providers. Background: The Department awarded nearly 300 MHSP and SBMH grants with historic funding provided under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) and the Fiscal Year 2022 Omnibus Appropriations to address the critical need in prekindergarten (PK)–12 schools for school-based mental health services providers, a need exacerbated by the COVID–19 pandemic. Findings from the Department’s Institute of Education Sciences April 2022 School Pulse Panel reinforce the challenges schools face in addressing student mental health needs. Specifically, 70 percent of public schools reported that the percentage of students who have sought mental health services increased since the start of the COVID–19 pandemic, and 29 percent of public schools reported that the percentage of staff who have sought mental health services increased since the start of the COVID–19 pandemic (U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, School Pulse Panel (April 12– 25, 2022)). To help address the need for additional school-based mental health persons may submit a written statement for consideration by the DSB at any time regarding its mission or in response to the stated agenda of a planned meeting. Individuals submitting a written statement must submit their statement to the DSB DFO at the email address provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section at any point; however, if a written statement is not received at least three calendar days prior to the meeting, which is the subject of this notice, then it may not be provided to or considered by the DSB until a later date.
