Our study is about helping landowners bring back the longleaf pine forest, an important type of forest in the southeastern U.S. This forest is home to unique plants and animals, helps clean the air and water, and is better at handling tough weather than other forests. We want to learn why some landowners participate in longleaf pine incentive programs, such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), while others do not. Specifically, we are examining landowner motivations, barriers to enrollment, management practices during and after participation, post-CRP land use decisions, and persistence of longleaf pine forests following the end of program support. By listening to landowners' experiences, we hope to identify ways to improve these programs, making them more accessible and effective in promoting the growth and sustainability of longleaf pine forests for future generations.

We will survey state agency leaders to better understand environmental training needs to create the training materials.
The purpose of this study is to: 1) Examine the benefit of provider directed active rehabilitation therapies ("Active Rehab") to supplement the progressive return to activity therapies in accelerating return to duty and improving cognitive and functional limitations following mTBI, and 2) operationalize and disseminate a clinical active rehabilitation algorithm for use in military settings

To comprehensively understand the impacts of neighborhood development on physical activity in Latine and Black communities.
This study is being conducted to understand how sexual violence impacts UNC's community and what student groups are most affected. This study aims to work with a group of 8-10 undergraduate students at UNC to collectively explore the impacts of sexual violence on different marginalized communities at UNC and co-create recommendations for culturally responsive violence prevention. Culturally responsive violence prevention includes trainings and other resources that can be tailored to different norms that exist in different cultural communities. This study does not focus on or discuss personal experiences with sexual violence at any point, and instead focuses on what can make students feel safer at UNC.
We want to create a registry of new and established patients with ocular burns who attend the UNC Department of Ophthalmology, with the aim of understanding risk factors, how the disease develops, and response to treatment.
