The Currituck Sound is a unique coastal system of numerous habitats and relatively low salinity levels which allow for it to support diverse wildlife recreational opportunities, and other important ecosystem services. However, due to various anthropogenic factors, the sound is facing multiple threats such as sea level rise, erosion, and nutrient loading. In order to protect the sound, the Currituck Sound Coalition was formed and it now works to restore the sound. This research project will look at Currituck Sound Coalition members' perceptions of the Sound, its components, processes, and how they interact. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted to create members' mental models of the Sound. Models will be analyzed for differences and similarities.

Research study to prevent and reduce exposure to contaminated private well drinking water. Once participants provide consent, project staff administer a survey of prior well testing behavior, online or on paper. All consented participants who complete the survey receive a well test kit (via US mail or in person), which includes instructions, bottles, and an information sheet that requires participants to provide name / address and confirm they have followed recommended sampling protocol. Participants return samples to project staff, who will deliver samples to the UNC Superfund Research Program lab in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Once samples have been processed, project staff develop report-back letters and share results with participants. Within 3-6 months of results being provided, project staff will send an electronic or paper evaluation survey to participants, to document any water treatment actions and understand participant recall of test results and satisfaction with study participation.
We want to know what types of clinical research training are most useful to get a job in clinical research and to be promoted. We also want to know if people think a new tool called digital badges could be a better way to get training.
