We are doing a survey to learn about swallowing problems, like trouble swallowing food or drinks, in college students. The survey asks questions to see how often these problems happen and what students do to manage them. This will help us understand more about these issues and raise awareness so students can get help if needed.

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.

We want to find out how people in North Carolina think about climate change and clean energy. To do this, we ask participants to sort statements about topics like protecting communities, using renewable energy, and paying for projects. By looking at how people group these statements, we can see what ideas are important to them. This information will help leaders and communities work together on plans that keep everyone safer and healthier in the face of climate challenges.

The significance of this project is to go beyond the discourse of culturally responsive practices in early childhood education and attend to the cultural and holistic needs of children and families by providing in-depth knowledge about what it means to be in ACE schools for Black families and their children. Coupled with the fact that much of the extant research on ACE has been on students in the upper grades and there has been little attention to parents' motivation for choosing ACE preschool programs, this proposed project has implications both for addressing inequities in early care and education access and experiences for Black children but also identifying a culturally-rooted approach to meeting the racial, cultural, and developmental needs of Black diasporic children in the U.S. during a critical time of development. This insight from Black families can create, cultivate, and expand such programs and practices across the country.
