PharmAlliance is a global partnership between the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Monash University Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and UCL School of Pharmacy. Numerous achievements such as publications, grants, student exchanges, and teaching innovations have resulted from this international alliance. Existing research, however, does not look into specific characteristics of successful international collaborations. In this observational study, collaborators in PharmAlliance will be surveyed and interviewed in order to determine characteristics of successful international teams in pharmacy and more broadly.

This research aims to share lessons learned and improve the quality of future relief efforts through: 1) sharing lived experiences; 2) assessing effectiveness of training; and 3) informing the state- and national-level policy recommendations for incorporating Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) evidence-based practices.

The purpose of the TEACH Study is to collect data on whether mood symptoms and estrogen levels change during the first month after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids and/or abnormal uterine bleeding. These results may help us understand whether mood symptoms and hormone levels change during this time, which will help us better support women who undergo this surgery in the future. During this study, we will collect mood questionnaires and hormone levels (sometimes in blood and sometimes in saliva) weekly through the first month after surgery.
