We are studying the scholarly productivity (research papers, presentations, etc.) among recently graduated gynecologic oncology fellows. This voluntary survey will obtain data related to research accomplishment during fellowship and factors which may influence this. The purpose of this study is to characterize the research productivity among fellows as well as identify research supports and barriers; this knowledge can be used in the future to set data-driven benchmarks and support fellows towards research success.
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.
This project has the goal to study the use of mindfulness practices (e.g., body scans, guided meditation) in high school physical education.
This study will help us learn how educators use WorkTogetherNC Action Plans with students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). An Action Plan is an online planning tool for setting goals for adult life in areas such as employment, continuing education, and community living.
This study aims to investigate the use of linguistic landscape (LL) as a tool to teach Vietnamese language while drawing students' attention to the sociolinguistic aspects such as cultural authenticity, identity, language ideologies and variation.
We are implementing a curriculum of 6 clinical cases within the Physician Assistant Pharmacology curriculum and assessing whether or not student's learned more from case-based learning or didactic lecture teaching style. We are doing this in order to understand whether or not case-based methods for instruction should be implemented within Physician Assistant curriculum specifically in pharmacology eduction. This research will allow for more information to be gained on the topic of PA Pharmacology education in order to employ the most useful curriculum strategies for future learners.
We are looking for links between cystic fibrosis outcomes and a history of intimate partner violence.
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.
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.
The central aim of this UNC-Gillings Practicum opportunity is to offer a UNC-Gillings MPH student the opportunity to contribute to developing and improving our community-engaged, clinic-based and research project whose goal is to better understand the complex issues surrounding prevention, education, diagnosis, treatment and barriers to care for children and adults living with sickle cell disease in Kalangala, Uganda.
