Apex has a policy that applies for the most part to developers building new neighborhoods, that requires them to either dedicate part of their land to a park or a greenway, or pay a fee to the town if they don't. This policy was put in place in 2017 and the town has grown and changed a lot, I want to recommend how they can change that policy to get the best benefit for residents, as far as park and greenway access, and be fair to developers and easy to understand by everyone.

This project will explore the potential implications of polygenic scores for social traits by surveying biobank members and interviewing scientists who develop or could use polygenic scores for social traits.

The goal of our study is to test out technology and tests with adults with intellectual disability and their parents. We want to use what we learn from this study to improve an exercise program that we created for adults with intellectual disability.

We are interested in how people react to offers of help from potential relationship partners.

This study seeks to explore the specific needs of alternatively licensed teachers in their first year of teaching.

We are recruiting 216 people at events in the community to look at different types of educational materials about genomics. We will survey them before and after to see if and how their knowledge and willingness to participate in research was affected. Then, we will ask 30 of those people to participate in a 45-60 minute interview over Zoom. This will help us to gather more information about their preferences and attitudes toward genomic research. We will be recruiting from a diverse group of people and offering materials in both English and Spanish. The purpose of this is to improve health literacy and willingness of participate in genomic research in order to improve health equity.

A survey about long-acting injectable medications will be sent to pharmacists in North Carolina who work in the community or outpatient settings.

This research will examine the variable ways that people have used and interpreted collections related to the Greensboro Massacre in Wilson Library, and how they conceptualize their research in relation to memory, history, and justice. This project will involve semi-structured interviews with five to eight researchers, working to understand how the interviewees interpret and disseminate their findings from the archive. Afterwards, I will compare interview responses, in order to trace common and divergent themes. I will interview both academic researchers, as well as community historians and activists.

A community-based team, composed of Donna Carrington, Executive Director of Community Empowerment Fund (CEF), Danielle Spurlock, PhD, Assistant Professor, UNC Department of City and Regional Planning, and Allison De Marco, MSW PhD, Research Scientist, UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and School of Social Work, are leading a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)-funded research project in Orange and Durham Counties, entitled, "Overcoming Structural Racism in Housing Stability and Wealth-building: Laying the Foundation for Community Health and Well Being." We'll be examining how CEF's services in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Durham are related to housing stability, the short-term and longer-term effects of housing stability on financial, social, physical, and psychological well-being, and the disparate impacts of climate change. As part of this work, we are interested in understanding the local policy and practice context, via a series of community-based listening sessions.

The purpose of this study is to understand community perception and public use of the Bolin Creek Greenway prior to the completion of the trail.
