We would like to receive advice on the design of a research trial from people who have used the service we will be studying before.

The goal of this project is to develop an OSCE to evaluate the education that anesthesiology resident physicians receive as part of their first (of two) regional anesthesia rotations. The exam will test resident knowledge and skills of regional anesthesiology and assess competency with the main regional anesthesiology blocks outlined in the ABA content outline for resident training. This will provide valuable feedback for the participant about their gaps of knowledge and allow the regional anesthesiology division of the UNC Department of Anesthesiology to assess resident educational curriculum and address any topics that need to be emphasized.

Makerspaces have been a topic of interest for libraries as of late, and research has described how library makerspaces are able to impact their designated communities. However, many libraries themselves that have or want a makerspace do not explicitly state or even know the benefits makerspaces have on youth. The purpose of this study is to fill the knowledge gap between teen development and the impact makerspaces have on those developmental assets by stating how research defines and connects the two areas. In particular, this study will look at the perceptions and experiences of public librarians that work with teens and makerspaces.

In 2015 Nepal adopted a new constitution designed to have the country change its governmental structure to have three levels of government: national, provincial, and municipal. For the first time local governments will have decision-making power for their local communities. The Provincial and Local Government Support Program (PLGSP) is a program designed to build capacity of local governments in Nepal to effectively use their new power and run their communities well. This study will evaluate the PLGSP using a case-control design (observing an and measuring metrics over time to see what changes caused different outcomes), before and after surveys, and a synthetic control model (using statistics to learn what may have happened if the PLGSP never happened). Households in 90 communities will be interviewed before PLGSP starts, and 2 years later. We will use this information to estimate the effectiveness of the PLGSP.

The primary objective of PATIENCE is to develop a standardized approach to the treatment of NTM in CF patients with a diagnosis of NTM disease. The secondary objectives are to: - Evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a standardized treatment protocol for NTM disease - Evaluate effectiveness of a standardized NTM disease treatment protocol to serve as baseline/reference estimates of endpoints in clinical care and future therapeutic trials - Support biomarker development for markers of NTM treatment response through banking of clinical specimens and NTM isolates linked with outcomes data - Characterize clinical features of patients achieving treatment success compared to those unresponsive to treatment
