Wood smoke pollution is a common problem across the world, including in the US. This wood smoke comes from people using wood to heat and cook, as well as from wildfires. The purpose of this research study is to screen individuals to see how they respond to wood smoke inhalation by measuring cells in sputum (or phlegm, that you cough up) to see if there is an increase in the number of cells after exposure. The exposure will be to 500ug/m3 of WSP for 2 hours, with intermittent exercise on a bicycle and rest. The wood is burned in a typical wood stove and piped into the chamber. There is a specific gene that we believe impacts the response to wood smoke exposure, we will also look to see if you have this gene or not (about 40% -60% of people do).

Teenagers with ADHD are more vulnerable to negative outcomes than teenagers without ADHD, in part because they engage in more extreme risk-taking. The goal of this study is to understand how brain development during puberty may contribute to risk-taking behaviors in adolescence, and how this differs in youth with and without ADHD. We also want to learn how to predict which children are more vulnerable to extreme levels of risk-taking when they become teenagers. This study will help us to identify children who may be at risk for negative outcomes so potential problems can be addressed early and ultimately prevented.

The goal of this study is to develop new diagnostics and vaccines for viruses transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes, called Arboviruses. These infections circulate in tropical areas of the world including Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, parts of Central and South America, and parts of Africa. These viruses cause a wide spectrum of diseases. Common symptoms of these viruses include fever, rash, joint pain, muscle aches, and headache. Sometimes, people do not even realize that they have been infected. Currently, we are studying Zika and Dengue viruses among others. You do not have to have had a known infection to enroll in this study, the only requirement is travel to an area with these viruses.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the health of former women's soccer players.

We want to see how different approaches to group mentoring will impact postdoctoral fellows and assistant professors in both their personal and professional lives. This study will include 9 months of group meetings.

This study consists of two online surveys and one laboratory visit on the UNC campus. Plus, a subset of participants will be randomized to make small shifts in their daily behaviors for 35 consecutive days and all participants will complete brief nightly surveys during that 35-day phase. Some participants will also watch a short, 10 minute video.

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.

Are you or someone you know related to an adult or child with Type 1 Diabetes? If so, you may eligible to participate in TrialNet.

The participant registry will assist with study recruitment for current and future studies at the UNC-CH Adams School of Dentistry.

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.
