The proposed project seeks to further our understanding of how teachers improve over time-and specifically how white teachers can become more effective teachers to students of color-by bridging three previously distinct literatures in education research: the returns to teaching experience, teacher peer effects, and the impacts of racial representation in the teaching force.

In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.

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.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the natural history of DRPLA patients using a variety of clinical and biomarker modalities and to identify genetic factors, biomarkers, and clinical measures that could predict disease progression.

Our goal is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effects of Pharm-SAVES suicide prevention gatekeeper training for community pharmacy staff communication behaviors, knowledge, and self-efficacy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which engaging teachers in iterative design processes with scientists increases their content knowledge of and self-efficacy for incorporating current biomedical science into their teaching. This study includes a professional development program with a teacher-driven curriculum development component.

This project studies how our ability to hear with two ears changes as we age or develop hearing loss.

Participants in this study are asked to read a list of words, then sort the words into categories based on their vowel sounds (ignoring letters). We are trying to find out how different two sounds have to be acoustically before speakers consider them to be linguistically different.

The main objective of this study is to develop methods for forecasting passenger waiting times in TSA lines at RDU airport.

The death of a parent is a traumatic event for their surviving co-parents and minor children, yet there is a lack of resources and support for widowed parents. The study aims to (1) better understand the reasons that parents express interest in the Widowed Parent Moms' or Dads' Groups, and (2) receive parents' feedback on the program.
