To understand the impact on schools of the new law.
The purpose of this study is to qualitatively examine how social movements and actors within social movement organizations interact with the press and media as they work to achieve their goals. This study seeks to further examine the relationship between left-leaning social movements in the U.S. South as alternative media outlets and newspapers decline and tension between social movements and actors like the state and elected officials intensify.
The study will evaluate staff experiences of transitioning participants from long term care facilities back into the community through the Money Follows the Person program. Challenges and best practices will be identified in order to inform program improvements.
This study aims to evaluate the implementation and impact of School Extension Learning Recovery Programs (SLERPs) authorized by the NC General Assembly in response to Hurricane Helene. These SLERPs will serve students in grades 4-8 in 13 western NC counties in summer 2025. The study team will collect data on SLERP program plans, student enrollments and attendance, benchmark exam scores, EOG scores, attendance, and grades for program attendees. The researchers will also conduct observations of SELRPs; interview district and school staff in the programs; and survey students and staff to understand stakeholders views of the programs. We will use a mixed methods approach to understand program implementation and impacts. Results from the study will provide evidence to education policymakers and practitioners on how the programs were designed and implemented; program impacts on student academic and school engagement outcomes; and the relationship between the program design and student outcomes.
To explore expression of tolerance for ambiguity and need for definitive conclusion among medical students and to compare these scores across time in medical school.

Using carefully constructed case vignettes and a survey of oncology providers across a spectrum of settings, we sought to characterize early trends in internalization of the girentuximab PET-CT into care.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treating germinomas with chemotherapy followed by a lower dose of radiotherapy (RT) can be as effective as the current standard of care. Specifically, our primary aim is to determine whether 12 Gy whole ventricular irradiation (WVI) and 12 Gy tumor boost would maintain similar efficacy compared to ACNS1123 stratum 2 as measured by event-free survival (EFS) in eligible patients with localized primary central nervous system (CNS) germinoma who present with serum and/or CSF human chorionic gonadotropin-beta (hCGß) = 100 IU/L and normal AFP, and meet complete response (CR) or continued complete response (CCR) criteria following chemotherapy/second-look surgery (Stratum 1). We are attempting to build upon the excellent results of ACNS1123 stratum 2 by reducing the RT dose even further for patients in a CR after chemotherapy.
This program seeks to work with individual clinical practices from across the state of North Carolina, focusing on the Southeastern Coast of the State initially, to evaluate and enhance the capacity of these practices to participate in practice-based clinical research in partnership with the CCCRI program.
