In this study, we want to follow people after getting a COVID-19 vaccine to test the level of immune proteins in their noses. This non-invasive test will help us learn more about immunity to COVID-19. We will compare the antibody levels in the nose to those in the blood.

In this study, we will interview Black and African American EMS providers. We want to learn about their experiences in this line of work, with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide protest relating to police killings of Black citizens.

Help us learn more about COPD! We want to better understand how your body responds to the nasal flu vaccine and its relation to COPD. We are looking for people with COPD and healthy volunteers for this study. Compensation provided.

Persons with stroke suffer limited walking distances due to sensory and motor changes following injury. Robotic exoskeletons have become a recent topic of study, specifically to the ankle joint to provide walking assistance and enable those to walk for longer distances. However, no study has investigated how to teach persons to use these assistive devices to greatest benefit. This study aims to determine the optimal settings and feedback with an ankle exoskeleton in order to teach a person with a stroke to use the device optimally.

The purpose of this research study is to understand how a physical activity program for family members and friends can help improve their physical activity and possibly improve the symptoms of Hispanics/Latinos with osteoarthritis.

The purpose of this study is to identify and genomically-characterize individuals with genetically unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders, such as epilepsy.

The purpose of this study is to identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of integrative medical group visits (IMGV) for patients with chronic pain in safety-net healthcare settings. IMGV is one of few integrative pain management programs designed specifically for low-income populations. By understanding what it takes to make these programs successful or not, we aim to test strategies to implement IMGV widely in safety-net settings. The goal is to make integrative pain management more accessible to low-income patients.
