In this project we are interested in how reputations affect international cooperation. In particular, we are interested in studying how the cost of cooperation changes for countries who fail to uphold their international commitments. We anticipate that this happens via two mechanisms. The first is direct: a change in beliefs about the state's reliability in the eyes of other countries. The second is indirect: a concern that failing to punish a state for non-cooperative behavior will invite more non-cooperative behavior in the future. States, we suspect, are thus concerned with developing a reputation for tolerating non-cooperative behavior. We use survey experiments on the US public and elites to study these questions.
We are attempting to study social and political attitudes in the contemporary political context.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the study drug fosmanogepix with that of other currently approved treatments to find out if fosmanogepix is safe and effective in treating participants with invasive mold infections.
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.
This study explores the growing culture of migration in remote, rural communities in Nepal. Based on the Aspirations and Capabilities framework (de Haas, 2021), we examine how gender, age, and household dynamics influence people's perception of their local community, their goals or dreams, and, subsequently, their migration aspirations and abilities. We will interview multiple members from ten households across two districts of Western Nepal to understand what migration represents to them, how they conceptualize the future based on perceptions of 'here' and 'there', and how gender, age, caste, and class influence the way they understand choice and freedom to migrate or to stay.
To understand the perspectives of school staff in North Carolina on school nutrition programs and the potential impacts of offering school meals at no cost to all students.
1) Assess and compare adherence to IV and subcut vedolizumab maintenance therapy in patients with IBD using a novel remote monitoring system. 2) Assess symptom response to vedolizumab post induction (week 6-8) and during maintenance therapy (week 26) using a novel remote monitoring system. 3) Assess time to response to vedolizumab during induction (weeks 0-6) using a novel remote monitoring system.
To create a biorepository for future research studies to better improve patient treatment in care for patients with liver cancer and liver diseases
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the drug: IMVT-1402.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pramipexole extended release (ER) versus escitalopram for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and mild neurocognitive disorder (MND) in people living with HIV (PWH). This study will also look at whether you experience any side effects from the study drugs.
