The purpose of the study is to survey researchers with established interests in early modern marginalia studies about the development of a peer-to-peer research tool designed to facilitate their research. The tool will match scholars in need of photographs of unique pieces of evidence from rare books repositories with scholars able to take and deliver those photographs. The hypotheses of the study are that a) there is interest in a tool like this and b) scholars with established interests in the area can contribute meaningfully to the design of the tool. The aim of the study is to collect information through a survey about the degree to which such a tool might be used, for what reasons, and by whom, and about the features and functionalities that users would like to see in the tool.
Student researchers will develop a set of 10-15 infographics of interventions that incorporate the Safe Systems principles. This project will work closely with the NC Vision Zero team to gather input from key road safety partners across the country (e.g., the Vision Zero Network, and Families for Safe Streets) via interviews to identify interventions to highlight, collaborate with the design team at NC State's Institute for Transportation Research and Education to produce quality materials, and work with local NC communities to conduct usability testing of materials and create a dissemination plan for the NC Vision Zero team.
The purpose of this focus group is to get feedback from patient representatives at UNC Internal Medicine on a set of proposed patient resources and referrals to osteoarthritis resources.
This mixed- methods study examines the impact and cost-effectiveness of a high dosage tutoring model for 4th grade math in a district with a proven track record of success in implementing such a model. High dosage tutoring is defined as frequent (three or more sessions per week), small group (three or four students per tutor) tutoring conducted during the school day by an adult who has been trained to deliver instruction that helps students meet grade level standards. This study will allow local, state, and national practitioners and policymakers to weigh the costs and benefits of two different approaches to delivering tutoring: a whole grade model and a targeted tutoring model.
This study will explore how eating behaviors may change among UNC Chapel Hill students who grew up eating cultural or religious diets when they attend college. The study will also look at how access to cultural or religious foods may impact student wellbeing and how the university can support students with accessing cultural and religious foods.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the relationship between sleep brain wave patterns and peripheral glucose (sugar) levels in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Participants will undergo continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using a CGM device for up to two weeks before an in-laboratory sleep study which is part of routine medical care at UNC to examine how sugar levels fluctuate during sleep and how these fluctuations relate to brain wave activity
This study will explore the experiences of individuals who have volunteered with the Morningside Hospital History Project or used its materials for research.
To optimize messages for a larger intervention.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people use their eyes while working on tasks using multiple computer screens. We want to learn how eye movements change when people do structured tasks given by the research team compared to when they do their own regular work. This information can help us improve future technology, like smart glasses, to make working with virtual screens easier and more comfortable.
To review the methods used in collecting mortality data in North Carolina during the COVID-19 pandemic, to understand why the ethnicity data had missing values and how that can be improved upon.
