Manage {vendor_count} vendors The Physiology of Hydration: More Than Water Alone This session explores the physiology of hydration through an integrated lens—examining how carbohydrate, sodium, flavor, and fluid interact to influence intake, absorption, retention, and performance.
We’ll review current research on fluid balance, osmotic drivers, and palatability, highlighting mechanisms that underpin voluntary intake and thermoregulation. Attendees will gain insight into individualized strategies, including sweat profiling and timing approaches, to optimize euhydration and mitigate performance decrements associated with >2% body-mass loss.
Practical applications will be linked to laboratory- and field-based research, ensuring translation from bench to field. This pre-conference equips you with evidence-based tools to support athlete hydration across diverse environments and sporting contexts.
Session 1: Sweating the detail: New insights on hydration considerations for athlete performance Lewis James, PhD, Associate Professor in Human Nutrition in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University Session 2: Functional ingredients in fluid replacement beverages for athletes Lindsay Baker, PhD, Director at the Gatorade Sports Science Institute Session 3: The hydration toolkit: Practical approaches to athlete support Floris Wardenaar, PhD, Associate Professor at the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University

On October 29, 2026, the American Indian College Fund announced a seven-year plan built on a $70 million unrestricted gift from Yield Giving, including a roughly $20 million designated endowment. It arrives as the FY2027 budget proposes eliminating dedicated federal funding for tribal colleges, and as Brookings finds that only 0.88% of U.S. foundation and corporate giving reaches Native-serving causes. What the gift covers, what it cannot replace, and how tribal colleges and Native-serving nonprofits should plan.
Read articleOn October 16, 2026 the Department of Labor awarded $81,542,854 in Workforce Opportunity for Rural Communities Round 7 grants to 13 organizations in 11 states. That is far above the $49.2M baseline in the solicitation, which means DOL drew on FY2026 money, yet it funded only 13 projects. Five came within $6,000 of the $8M cap, no award was below $3.5M, and no community college led a winning bid. Here is who won, what the pattern shows, and how to position for the next round.

Five of the seven SBIR topics belong to the Biological Technologies Office, and four of those describe one continuous problem: keeping a casualty alive with no surgeon, no imaging, and no evacuation. Here are the award sizes, the Direct-to-Phase-II gates, and the sequencing DARPA is buying.
