Researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill are interested in learning from community members about how flooding from hurricanes affects their ability to access healthcare needs and services during and after a flooding event in Eastern North Carolina. The goal of this research is to gather with community members to make a list of concerns, write questions we can research, and select the questions that are most important to the community. Ultimately, we would like affected community members to have a voice in the type of research that is funded related to flooding and community health so that local and state decision-makers can respond to what matters most to the community.

This mixed- methods study examines the impact and cost-effectiveness of a high dosage tutoring model for 4th grade math in a district with a proven track record of success in implementing such a model. High dosage tutoring is defined as frequent (three or more sessions per week), small group (three or four students per tutor) tutoring conducted during the school day by an adult who has been trained to deliver instruction that helps students meet grade level standards. This study will allow local, state, and national practitioners and policymakers to weigh the costs and benefits of two different approaches to delivering tutoring: a whole grade model and a targeted tutoring model.
