Psychoneuroimmunology Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience

Our experimental aims are to 1) evaluate two methods for collecting dried blood spots (i.e., finger prick versus Tasso M20) and 2) examine correlations between psychological variables and pro-inflammatory markers. To achieve these, we will be implementing a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) and plan to assess its effectiveness in student success (e.g., academic performance, involvement in research, and retention in STEM).

Black Immigrant Maternal Health in the US

Black women in the United States disproportionately experience adverse maternal health outcomes across income and education levels compared to women of other racial and ethnic groups. Still, there is limited knowledge about Black immigrants in the U.S. Black immigrants will make up about a third of the U.S. Black population by 2060. There is urgency in supporting their pregnancy and birthing outcomes. This study will conduct secondary analyses of existing data and also focus groups with Black immigrant birthing people to identify factors in the health care system that can support optimal pregnancy and birthing outcomes.
