Do you want to help in the design of a new device that can electronically measure and track your strength? We are testing a new system that uses an electronic resistance exercise band and an 'app' designed for older adults to improve strength and prevent weakness. We will provide $25 in gift card incentives.

This study looks at why there is a large gap in academic achievement between Black and white students in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS). To find answers, researchers will conduct detailed interviews with current and former CHCCS teachers, school leaders, parents, and former students. Through analysis of these interviews, the study aims to understand what factors from the past and present maintain racial inequality in the school district. The findings will help shed light on the causes of racial differences in educational outcomes and suggest ways to make education more equal in CHCCS and similar communities.

In this study, we are trying to understand how students feel when they look for help after going through sexual misconduct or violence. We also want to find ways to support those who have been affected.

In this study, we want to see how growing up with different amounts of money affects career choices. We will look at what college seniors and students about to graduate think about when picking a job.

Participants can earn up to $100 in giftcards for participation.

Are you interested in learning more about how the body and brain influences social behavior? If you are between 18 and 29 years old, you may be eligible to participate in our new EEG study! This project uses EEG and blood assaying techniques to understand how differences in immune functioning relates to the way that reward is processed in the brain. Compensation is provided.

Preventing walking disability in our rapidly aging population is an enormous public health challenge. Fundamental to their loss of functional mobility is that the muscles needed to power walking experience disproportionate declines in function with age. Wearable assistive devices can be designed to augment the function of these muscles and may make walking easier. If you are a healthy young adult, you may be eligible to participate in a study to help guide the development of more effective exoskeleton designs!

We are conducting 3 90-minute workshops with young adults who consume alcohol to support the development of an intervention to reduce alcohol use and prevent alcohol-related harms.
