We are studying the ways that counties and municipalities are making decisions about how to use the opioid settlement funding.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if N-803, a new experimental drug that stimulates the immune system, is safe and tolerable when given alone and in combination with two new experimental drugs that are antibodies (natural proteins that the body makes in response to an infection) to HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), VRC07-523LS and 10-1074. This study will also look at how well HIV is controlled after stopping anti-HIV medications (also known as "ART") in persons who received N-803 alone or N-803 with VRC07-523LS and 10-1074.

This study aims to understand how rural women experience the expansion of oil palm crops, particularly in the Colombian Llanos region. The research will delve into the work women performed in the plantations and on their own farms. The study also wants to address how women interact with their environment (their practices, what they know about nature, how they use nature) and if that has changed because of the expansion of oil palm. Finally, the research will also explore how the government is helping those women and their families to achieve their dreams. This research is important because there is very little information about rural women living in this region in Colombia. My research will contribute to know more about their stories and highlight their important contribution to the country.

We would like to better understand what adverse symptoms occur after cardiac surgery and intensive care and how symptoms evolve over time. We will be following patients' symptoms from prior to their surgery to three months after ICU discharge.

This study wants to test a inhaled version of an already approved medication for pulmonary hypertension (PH). The purpose is to test its safety and tolerability in group 1 and group 3 PH patients.

Throughout Latin America, public security is an increasingly important issue due to growing concerns regarding drug trafficking, organized crime, homicides, and violence. While much of the research on the topic focuses on citizens' support for hard-on-crime policing and politicians' subsequent enactment of such policies, scholars have not studied the responses of the innocent people who become unintended victims of these policies through government-sponsored violence. How do these people seek to hold the state accountable for the negative consequences of hard-on-crime policies? Which policies do they seek to advance? With which other civil society actors and policymakers do they ally and why? Most importantly, when are they successful in shaping public security policy? In this research project, I focus on the organized resistance against police brutality in Brazil's urban areas, especially in the poorer regions known as favelas.

This study aims to develop a blood test to track, locate, and diagnose aortic aneurysm disease.

We are seeking feedback from Spanish-speaking Latinos with arthritis to help us develop Spanish-language materials for the Camine con Gusto walking program for people with arthritis. We are also asking representatives from organizations that serve Spanish-speaking communities how we can share the Camine con Gusto program through their organization.
