“The results of the study are anticipated to reveal a differential response by racial groups in the United States to police power. White Americans and Black Americans basically trade houses when local governments vote to cut taxes and spending on police services. Black Americans seem to be drawn to places that reduce police power, and White Americans move away.” 

“Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth aged 10-34, and those numbers have been on the rise since the COVID-19 pandemic. Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) has been noted as a pervasive issue among the adolescent population, increasing their risk for death by suicide. The purpose of this project is to evaluate clinical outcomes and processes associated with the treatment of youth NSSI to improve mental wellness of youth engaging in NSSI behaviors.” 

“Proximity Matters aims to create a community-level decision making platform to assess unique communities’ needs and desires for access to specific goods, services, and amenities, using a model that determines proximity in the context of social need. The project reorients decision-making regarding access to services and amenities that equitably serves diverse groups by especially focusing on underserved populations, supports local economies, and strengthens sense of community and resilience. By inherently building community input into the process, the project fundamentally alters the balance, empowering communities to achieve more equitable access.”

“This innovative study will provide critical information regarding the music-training induced brain responses and its relationship with subjective hearing and behavioral performance of sound perception in cochlear implant (CI) users. The results will lead to the design of effective music training methods for CI users rehabilitation and the identification of biomarkers for assessing training effects.”
