In the United States, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines typically have lower rates of retention than other fields, such as the social sciences. Retention rates in some STEM disciplines are even lower for groups that are underrepresented and marginalized in academia and STEM. Office hours are the primary vector for interaction between most students and their instructors. To address both the challenges of teaching across different classroom sizes and building equitable and effective learning experiences for all students, this project will examine the role that pedagogical practices, student and instructor perceptions and attitudes, course structures, and campus environments have on student outcomes and retention in STEM. Specifically, we seek to understand faculty and student usage and perceptions of STEM course office hours.

This study is examining Medicaid "unwinding", which refers to the process occurring nationwide of states resuming eligibility redeterminations for Medicaid enrollees after three years of continuous pandemic-related coverage protections. Over 15 million people are estimated to lose Medicaid coverage through this process, with nearly half still remaining eligible but facing administrative barriers to renew their coverage. This study focuses specifically on North Carolina's experiences with unwinding, utilizing a case study approach.The study aims to explore the factors shaping North Carolina's response, challenges encountered, and outcomes thus far. It also examines potential solutions to strengthen Medicaid policy for future redeterminations.

Because Black youth are dying by suicide at an alarming rate, this study addresses the interplay of how two dimensions of inequality impact suicide: 1. school-based mental health services and referrals; and 2. aggressive school disciplinary practices. Mental health symptoms in Black individuals may be "masked" as aggression and misinterpreted by school professionals as behavioral problems, reinforcing harsh disciplinary practices disproportionate in Black youth. Improved understanding of how these two dimensions influence suicide will inform upstream approaches to suicide prevention delivered in school settings and contribute to a sizeable gap in the literature in support of preventing Black youth from dying of suicide. We will collect a disparate set of data sets to describe the prevalence of these issues and conduct analyses that explore the relationship between disciplinary actions and mental health access with suicide. We will also interview school-based professional and administrators to understand their roles and understandings
