Introduction: Research-practice-policy partnerships are shifting the academic research paradigm toward collaboration and research-informed action at community and policy levels. In this case study, researchers partnered with philanthropic foundations to actualize data findings from a rigorous, longitudinal study.
Context: In 2016, a survey of post-9/11 military veterans began assessing veterans' well-being in key domains: health, vocation (education and employment), finances, and social relationships.
Article Synopsis
- - The dairy industry needs efficient reproduction for successful milk production, with spontaneous abortion (SA) affecting different rates between heifers bred by artificial insemination (4.5%) and those receiving embryo transfer (31.6%).
- - A genome-wide association analysis (GWAA) identified 216 loci and 413 candidate genes linked to SA in artificially inseminated Holstein heifers, while no significant loci were found for embryo transfer recipients.
- - The discovered genetic loci related to SA in AI heifers can potentially aid in decreasing fetal loss through genomic selection strategies.
Background: Transgender women are individuals born male but identify as female. Many transgender women undergo gender-affirming hormone therapy to alleviate the distress that can occur due to gender incongruence. For transgender women, gender-affirming hormone therapy includes 17β-estradiol (E2) combined with an antiandrogen therapy (AA) or surgical intervention.

Eight loci were associated (p < 1 × 10) with TBRD in AI bred heifers and four loci were associated with TBRD in ET recipients.

- Post-9/11 veterans, facing more deployments and trauma, often report personal growth despite their experiences.
- A study involving 5,245 veterans measured posttraumatic growth (PTG), focusing on aspects like relationships, personal strength, and overall life appreciation.
- Results indicated veterans felt most growth in personal appreciation and less in spiritual aspects, with female veterans and those with trauma-related experiences reporting higher PTG, while social support and resilience were linked to lower growth levels.
