We are doing a study to learn more about how people age. We want to learn more about the patterns of natural aging and the link between the small changes your body makes (biomarkers) and quality of life.

Have you been infected with COVID-19? Are you a solid organ transplant recipient? Have you or your child received a COVID-19 vaccine or are planning to receive one? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study that will assess your immune response to COVID-19 infection or vaccination over a 5 year period. We are looking for children and adults aged 7-95 years, and plan to collect blood every 2-6 months over the study period. (Compensation provided for the first year).

Do you sit too much at work or home? There is strong evidence for an association between sitting and cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke. In this study, we want to identify strategies to break up sitting for long periods of time. Compensation will be provided.

We are studying perceptions of health messages and how we can promote healthier lifestyles for people of all backgrounds.

This study aims to characterize how gait mechanics are altered when the neck is immobilized or an excessive curve of the spine is induced via a 3D printed neck collar.

The research study seeks to improve the effectiveness of warnings for little cigars and cigarillos (LCCs) among youth. Scientific findings will provide novel and necessary evidence regarding the effectiveness of LCC warnings and will inform efforts to strengthen warnings through larger warning size and added images. Ultimately, this research can be used to reduce LCC use among youth and lessen tobacco-related disparities.

In this study, we want to learn about the differences in the personal values of donors based on cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This will help organizations to better understand how to engage people from various cultures and ethnicities on issues that affect their communities.

Latino/a/x populations are diverse, and one area of diversity is by race. For this study we are interested in learning from the perspectives of Black Latin Americans in the United States (Afro-Latinos) to understand their experiences in the U.S. This includes what stress they face, how that stress affects their health (physical, mental), and experiences with the healthcare system.

We are doing this study to test two programs that can help reduce stress and prevent chronic disease in people who are unemployed/underemployed and looking for work.

In the study we are looking at how a bout of walking performed prior to prolonged sitting impacts arterial stiffness (non-invasive cardiovascular measure). This is important as increased arterial stiffness from prolonged sitting increases the risk for cardiovascular disease.
