Georgetown Merchants Association

The Georgetown Carnival is a free, one-day, arts & music-focused street fair centered in Georgetown’s historic business district. The 2025 Carnival will take place on June 14, 12-10 pm, on Airport Way S between 12th Ave S & Corson Ave. The Carnival is a celebration of the neighborhood and its unique place as an artistic and small business haven surrounded by large-scale industry. It brings visibility to the neighborhood artists and businesses, and gives our small residential community a day of fun focused on our special neighborhood. With a residential population of only 1700, Georgetown’s small businesses rely on customers from other parts of Seattle to remain viable. Events like Carnival are vital in increasing the visibility of our local artists and businesses, and create a lasting economic impact by introducing new people to the neighborhood and encouraging them to return. In 2023, we welcomed over 5,000 people to the Carnival, many of whom were first time visitors to Georgetown.

Georgetown Merchants Association

Our project is the revival of the annual Georgetown Carnival. Carnival has been a tradition going on 14 years, with 2023 being it's official return post-COVID. Carnival is a one day music and arts festival, taking place from 12pm - 10 pm along Airport Way S, and 12th Ave S in the Georgetown Neighborhood. Featuring live performances on three stages, booths for local vendors and artists, industrial art displays, and children's activities. The purpose of Carnival is to increase visibility of businesses in Georgetown. The businesses in Georgetown cannot be sustained by our small residential population alone.

Many businesses and venues along Airport Way are coordinating with GTAAC to provide post-parade programming that night. This project will be completed by December 31, 2024.

Urban ArtWorks

The Georgetown Mural Program is an arts-based employment opportunity for up to 10 teens experiencing economic barriers and systemic inequality in the Georgetown neighborhood. This program is a partnership between Urban ArtWorks (UA)s and Mini Mart City Park (MMCP), a new community arts center in Georgetown. Mentored by a UA professional teaching artist, teens will be paid a stipend to design and install a mural at MMCP. The project will culminate in a publicly accessible mural unveiling and solo art exhibit at the new MMCP gallery. The anticipate project completion date is September 30, 2021.

Coltura

On November 5th, 2017, community group, Coltura, will create a Georgetown No-Gas Mural. The mural will be installed at 969 S. Nebraska St. The public will be invited to Georgetown Art Attack Day to dedicate and celebrate the unveiling of the mural on November 11th. The goal of the Georgetown No-Gas Mural is to invite viewers to think about the use of gasoline in all the ways it touches them - the effect on their community and society, and to transform their thoughts to action. This mural is an effort to address community concerns regarding environmental justice through art.

Georgetown Steam Plant CDA

The Georgetown Steam Plant Science Fair is a two-day, community-driven celebration of SHTEAM – science, history, technology, engineering, art, and math. Curated to spark curiosity, connection, and critical thinking for all ages, this event empowers participants by moving them from the role of “observer” into “active contributor” to community development. Hosted at the historic Georgetown Steamplant, the fair blends hands-on experiments, scientific demos, community dialogue, data visualizations, interactive exhibits, art installations, and more to inspire makers, thinkers, and problem solvers. With the theme “Break the System,” this year’s fair challenges participants to reimagine outdated systems and structures – industrial, social, or ecological – and explore bold and regenerative solutions for the future. Along with exhibits, there will be food trucks, performances, and more! The event is free, family-friendly, and rooted in the values of community and collaboration.

-Purpose. The purpose of this initiative is to provide funding opportunities for the increasing pool of foreign social and behavioral scientists, clinical investigators, nurses and other health professionals, with state-of-the-art knowledge of research methods. It is expected that this program will advance critical issues in global health through behavioral and social sciences research upon return of the investigators to their home countries. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount to be awarded is $300,000 and the anticipated number of awards is six. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award may also vary; however, individual awards are limited to a maximum of $50,000 direct costs per year. The total amount to be awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality and costs of the applications received.

ABSTRACT: Suboptimal gestational weight gain (GWG) is a modifiable risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes, postpartum weight retention and obesity, and subsequently, the long-term development of non-communicable diseases (NCD) among women and children. In South Africa, 45% of women exceed the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) recommended weight gain in pregnancy, and 38% gain too little weight, putting them at risk for poor perinatal and postpartum NCD outcomes. Women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with a high burden of HIV and NCDs, such as South Africa, are at particularly high risk of suboptimal weight gain due to poor diet quality, limited physical activity, high levels of psychosocial stressors, and, for women with HIV (WHIV), possible antiretroviral-associated weight gain. By supporting healthy GWG, there is strong potential to reduce postpartum NCD risk and improve perinatal outcomes for women with and without HIV. However, few GWG interventions are available for delivery in LMICs, and none have been adapted to address excessive and inadequate GWG or enhanced to meet the unique needs of women with and without HIV. To address this gap, our team previously developed an innovative, theoretically driven group prenatal care (GPNC) intervention and adapted it to reduce GWG and NCD (GPNC-NCD) risk in resource-constrained settings. GPNC-NCD is an evidence-based intervention, based on social cognitive theory, that builds health literacy, self-efficacy, social support, and satisfaction with care, leading to improved perinatal, GWG, NCD, and perinatal outcomes. The goal of this proposal is to adapt the GPNC-NCD intervention for use in South Africa to support healthy GWG (not too much or too little), enhance it to address the needs of WHIV and without HIV, and evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention to improve GWG, NCD, perinatal, and HIV care and prevention outcomes in a pilot randomized trial. Our specific aims are: 1) to adapt the GPNC-NCD intervention for use in South Africa to support healthy GWG and enhance it to address HIV status as a driver of GWG, and 2) to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the adapted and enhanced GPNC intervention. In a pilot trial, 80 women will be individually randomized by HIV status at ≤14 weeks gestation to GPNC (n=20 WHIV, n=20 HIV-) versus usual care (n=20 WHIV, n=20 HIV-). We hypothesize that adapted GPNC will be feasible, acceptable and show preliminary efficacy to improve GWG, NCD (blood pressure, breastfeeding, diet, physical activity), HIV care/prevention (ART adherence, viral suppression, or PreP uptake), and perinatal (birthweight, large-for-gestational age, cesarean delivery) outcomes. This proposal addresses the goals of PAR-23-191 by leveraging the evidence-based GPNC intervention to support healthy GWG, addresses HIV-NCD disparities, and builds capacity for HIV/NCD research in LMICs. If successful, our adapted GPNC intervention has strong potential to serve as a model for how to integrate NCD and HIV care and prevention support into routine prenatal care in LMICs to improve perinatal, HIV, and NCD outcomes.
