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.

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.
We are recruiting 216 people at events in the community to look at different types of educational materials about genomics. We will survey them before and after to see if and how their knowledge and willingness to participate in research was affected. Then, we will ask 30 of those people to participate in a 45-60 minute interview over Zoom. This will help us to gather more information about their preferences and attitudes toward genomic research. We will be recruiting from a diverse group of people and offering materials in both English and Spanish. The purpose of this is to improve health literacy and willingness of participate in genomic research in order to improve health equity.
The goal of this NIH-funded study is to chart development in young autistic children to see how development varies by diagnosis and sex/gender. To do this, we will see families four times over the course of 18 months. Children will complete eye tracking tasks and behavioral assessments.
