We are doing a study to learn how different Spanish speakers-people who grew up speaking Spanish at home and people who learned it later-use Spanish in different situations. We want to understand how they choose between different ways of saying things, like which verb form or sentence sounds best to them. This will help us learn more about how bilingual people think about grammar and how their experiences with both Spanish and English may affect the way they use language. We are not testing anyone or grading them; we're just interested in the choices they make and how they think about them. By learning more about this, we hope to improve how Spanish is taught and supported in schools and communities.

We are doing a survey to learn about swallowing problems, like trouble swallowing food or drinks, in college students. The survey asks questions to see how often these problems happen and what students do to manage them. This will help us understand more about these issues and raise awareness so students can get help if needed.

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 aim of this study is to increase awareness and use of the haptics simulation lab at a research medical university using gamification. When the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry first purchased dental case simulators (Simodont), they purchased two and put them in a room disassociated with the preclinical lab resulting in very little use of the simulators. In August of 2024, eight more simulators were purchase and all ten were moved to the preclinical lab. Orientations to the simulators were in the form of eModules on Canvas and face-to-face hands-on training. Faculty members desiring to use them in their courses met with the Simodont administrator to edit cases that came with the simulators. Currently first and second year dental students are using the simulated cases in their preclinical courses with the third and fourth year students already in the clinic attending to

We are trying to understand how blood clots form and use this information to prevent bleeding and clotting disorders.

The research team from the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute is conducting a study on the implementation of IYCF-E in Western North Carolina (WNC) after Hurricane Helene.
