This study will gather feedback from state agency staff and summer meals sponsors on a Summer Meals Site Placement tool.

The purpose of this research study is to follow up on a survey conducted in Fall of 2023 by the UNC Chapel Hill Institute for the Environment's Outer Banks Field Site student researchers on social perceptions of light pollution in North Carolina's Outer Banks. The results of this survey will be published as a Senior Honors Thesis. The study seeks to inquire about more specific details of the survey's findings, hearing participants' detailed thoughts and opinions to the survey results and light pollution in general along the Outer Banks. These findings could potentially impact the way the Outer Banks manages light pollution in the future.

The primary purpose of this work is to engage a broad group of stakeholders to implement a patient-centered approach to the de-adoption of self-monitored blood glucose among non-insulin-treated patients with Type two Diabetes Mellitus. We will evaluate the effectiveness of Rethink the Strip finalize and package it for nationwide dissemination.

The purpose of this study is to determine which new magnetic resonance sequences provide better, faster and more useful information. A sequence is a distinct method of obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) images. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is made up of many different imaging sequences. These new sequences will be implemented on either on a 3 Tesla (3T) MR system, a 7 Tesla (7T) MR system (single- or multi- transmit), or both. Since the signal-to-noise ratio for MR images is highly dependent on the magnetic field strength, the anticipated signal-to-noise will be 7T greater than 3T and 3T greater than 1.5T systems. The 3T MR system is FDA approved whereas the 7T system is not FDA approved, but is built to the same standards as other FDA approved scanners. In addition, the FDA has approved magnetic field strength up to 8T for human imaging. Participants will be told ahead

This study surveys students who completed a Fall 2024 UNC MPA course on AI about their subsequent thinking and experience with AI platforms in their UNC studies and/or their professional workplace.

Most professionals working with JJ-involved youth have little understanding of how neuroscience and brain development can shape effective strategies for treatment. This gap in knowledge can lead to misconceptions about adolescent behavior, compromising the effectiveness of their approaches. There is also a gap in the connection between scientific research and practical application within the JJ system. This gap often results in the use of cookie-cutter programs that rarely address individual drivers of problem behavior. Enhancing the knowledge of JJ professionals about brain development promises to foster more informed and effective approaches to JJ-involved youth by equipping professionals with better understanding of root causes and drivers of problem behaviors and helping to determine more effective treatment plans. The program proposed here bridges this gap begins by developing a manual for JJ professionals about how brain science can be useful in addressing the needs of youth in the system.

We are specifically interested in understanding the knowledge, beliefs, patient identification, practice intervention, and future focus of pediatric migraine management by pediatric dentists and pediatric dental residents. This will allow us to evaluate the level of education and training, assess clinical exposure to pediatric patients presenting with migraine-associated symptoms, determine the level of interest among pediatric dentists in expanding their role in pediatric migraine management, and identify potential gaps in training to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration.
