At the UNC At the Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders, our mission is to better understand the causes and consequences of eating disorders in order to develop better treatment options. In pursuit of this mission, we conduct several research studies each year. To conduct these research studies, we need help from volunteers - individuals who want to help us better understand eating disorders. You can help by volunteering to join our research registry. Anyone can join our registry. We welcome volunteers with no history of an eating disorder, as well as volunteers with a current or past history of an eating disorder.

We are looking for patients with kidney disease and healthy controls (no kidney disease) to provide blood samples, fill out surveys, and provide health related information to help investigators learn more about how to better diagnose and treat kidney disease. The information you provide will go into a "library" of data for doctors and researchers across the world to use for research projects. If you are a kidney patient, we are able to use your information to find out if you are eligible for treatment studies/other studies in the future.

The goal of this study is to develop new ways of figuring out which children with acute respiratory illnesses (like cough, cold, or flu) would benefit from antibiotic treatment. To do this, we will evaluate different combinations of vital signs, symptoms, results from tests for infections that cause respiratory illness, and measurement of the body's immune response to see which ones best predict the presence of infection that requires antibiotic treatment.
