The purpose of this study is to collect information through online surveys and interviews with college students and faculty/staff to help inform the development of a nutrition and culinary education curriculum for college students.
The purpose is to recruit potential subjects for ongoing active research projects within the PRIME Lab
This research will examine the variable ways that people have used and interpreted collections related to the Greensboro Massacre in Wilson Library, and how they conceptualize their research in relation to memory, history, and justice. This project will involve semi-structured interviews with five to eight researchers, working to understand how the interviewees interpret and disseminate their findings from the archive. Afterwards, I will compare interview responses, in order to trace common and divergent themes. I will interview both academic researchers, as well as community historians and activists.
We are trying to understand how blood clots form and use this information to prevent bleeding and clotting disorders.
I am interested in understanding how George Floyd Square came to be. I am also interested in learning how the South Minneapolis community organizes to resist police violence. This project contributes to decolonization scholarship by theorizing, through the example of South Minneapolis, forced migration and containment as colonial policies that are enforced through policing and that produce literal and social death for racialized Others.
A survey about long-acting injectable medications will be sent to pharmacists in North Carolina who work in the community or outpatient settings.
The purpose of this study is to learn how the brain holds attention on important things while ignoring distractions. Every day, we need to focus on tasks like studying, driving, or making decisions, but it is not always easy to stay focused when other things grab our attention. This study will use special tools, like EEG (which measures brain activity), to understand what happens in the brain when attention stays focused on something. We are testing whether a specific brain signal, called SPCN, can show when attention is held on something for a longer time. To study this, participants will look at pictures, like happy faces and houses, and respond to where a small symbol appears on the screen. By studying how the brain reacts, we hope to learn more about how people can stay focused and avoid distractions.
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 purpose is to understand people's individual experience at work as well as the way people experience interactions with others at work.
We are interested in how people react to offers of help from potential relationship partners.
