The overall goal of the UNC CFAR is to support research of HIV infection carried out by UNC CFAR affiliated investigators and collaborators outside UNC. In order to achieve the goal of providing cutting edge research and testing services, the UNC CFAR will use samples of blood, hair, urine, oral and genital secretions from HIV seropositive and seronegative donors to evaluate, validate and quality control current and future assays.

The Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program, a component of the NIH HEAL Initiative, is conducting a range of studies to better understand and treat chronic low back pain.  This online questionnaire is forclinicians who treat patients with low back pain and will gather information on how they assess their patients, how they decide on a treatment approach(es), and the research needed to improve care and outcomes for these patients. This information will be used by BACPAC researchers in the development of future research studies.

This research will look at the way colleges and universities use public podcasts to engage with the public. The podcasts in review are specifically ones that are produced by a central communications or marketing office. The research will help inform general standards for college- and university-produced podcasts, to better understand their purpose and success on the school's larger communications strategies.

: The proposed study is a three-year mixed methods study of the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, and subsequent changes to state reproductive health policies, on mental health and work-related wellbeing of OB/GYNs. We will study how workplace factors, and organizational policies and practices, may lessen the impact of restrictive state policies on OB/GYNs' mental health, work-related wellbeing, and turnover intention. We will undertake a convergent mixed-method design, in which we will conduct a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews simultaneously. We will then conduct key informant interviews of OB/GYN and hospital leaders to determine the best methods and pathways for dissemination of findings.

This study compares two different surgical tubes and post-op ointments as treatment for one type of glaucoma, an ocular disorder in which the pressure inside the eye is too high.

Throughout Latin America, public security is an increasingly important issue due to growing concerns regarding drug trafficking, organized crime, homicides, and violence. While much of the research on the topic focuses on citizens' support for hard-on-crime policing and politicians' subsequent enactment of such policies, scholars have not studied the responses of the innocent people who become unintended victims of these policies through government-sponsored violence. How do these people seek to hold the state accountable for the negative consequences of hard-on-crime policies? Which policies do they seek to advance? With which other civil society actors and policymakers do they ally and why? Most importantly, when are they successful in shaping public security policy? In this research project, I focus on the organized resistance against police brutality in Brazil's urban areas, especially in the poorer regions known as favelas.

In order to improve the biomedical research environment at UNC-Chapel Hill, we are developing new training opportunities and evaluating how well they work
