NEU-411 is being studied to see if it can slow PD progression in individuals with PD who have LRRK2 pathway overactivity (referred to as LRRK2-driven) based on their genetic profile.

Hi! I'm a PhD researcher from UNC Chapel Hill studying neighborhood preferences in the Charlotte area. I truly appreciate your time-thank you in advance!

the aim of this study is to measure and compare the effectiveness of the different nurse residency programs across UNC Health using a validated measure (Casey-Fink) of new nurse preparedness.

This study explores how college students feel and think about using artificial intelligence (AI) to help with mental health. We want to see if students studying science and technology (STEM) feel differently about AI than students in other areas. We're studying this because AI is being used more and more to solve both work and personal problems. However, using AI in mental health is still new and has not been talked about much.

This study examines how willing people are to punish a person for committing an act of political violence based on whether the victim is a politician or civilian, and how a denouncer's status as a politician or civilian impacts people's willingness to punish political violence. Our experiment also aims to measure whether these variables impact participants' desire to run for office. The results of this study have several implications in the field. First, understanding how to change people's reactions to political violence may allow us to develop effective methods to decrease support for political violence. In addition, our results may provide insight into why people desire to run for office.

To evaluate the efficacy of a 1-week proof-of-concept GE intervention on kinesiophobia and postural control in those with CAI.

I am researching how foster parents seek information about mental health resources in North Carolina. Recently, a state-wide needs assessment showed that foster parents struggle to find mental health resources for the foster children in their care. This adds to the issues of not feeling supported, which is one of the main reasons foster parents quit. The goal of this research is to help foster parents feel supported and improve retention.

To what extent does the unequal distribution of local wealth explain disparities in social outcomes (education, health, upward mobility)? How do individuals think that inequality around them impacts their own lives? This study aims to provide explorative evidence on people's reasoning.

The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Education is interested in conducting an educational research study with parents and their 4-5-year-old children. The broad goals of the project are to better understand how parents and children interact while reading together and engaging with age-appropriate science-related toys. This study will help us better understand how children learn and help promote positive academic outcomes.

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.
