This project will fund data collection for a natural experiment that jointly measures the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and social participation impacts of an e-bike voucher pilot in Raleigh, North Carolina. The city will soon invite residents to enter a lottery to win one of 150 e-bike vouchers. A portion of these vouchers will offer a deeper discount to low-income applicants. The lottery is a natural experiment that allows us to evaluate the causal effects of e-bike incentives, and e-bikes themselves, on travel behavior and quality of life. We will collect data through a panel survey of lottery participants before and after vouchers are awarded, with those who do not receive vouchers serving as a control group. . We will additionally provide study participants with access to OpenPATH, a real-time smartphone app developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to track changes in driving levels.
The purpose of this study is to understand the planning and implementation process of the Summer EBT program in Rhode Island and North Carolina.
The project is developed to understand the clinical impact of a novel wearable sensor on pressure ulcer monitoring among lower limb amputation. This project includes three major testing procedures: 1) using able-body participants to demonstrate the effectiveness of the sensing system 2) using transtibial amputees without pressure ulcers to evaluate the performance of the sensing system in the challenging environment inside the socket 3) using transtibial amputees with diagnosed pressure ulcer to step up a clinical standard to use this sensing system.
The objectives of this pivotal clinical trial are to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PASCAL System for transcatheter tricuspid valve repair with OMT (optimal medical therapy) compared to OMT alone in the treatment of patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation.
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.
To check to see if teaching patients sign language before surgery will help with communicating after surgery when they cannot talk
This study is meant to test how effective the Laguna system is at treating pulmonary embolism.
Analyze how usage of a visualization tool that provides data quality analysis can affect a data scientist's workflow during data preprocessing
To create a multi-centered prospective registry of individuals ≥60 years ("older adults") with IBD to quantify prevalence, incidence and progression of frailty, multi-morbidity, physical and cognitive impairment
Some people living with HIV can have chronic lung and breathing issues. We want to learn if the immune system of the nose may lead to these problems. We will collect a sample from the nose using a small strip of paper put in the nose for two minutes. This sample will be tested for inflammation and bacteria. We will do this test in 150 people with HIV and 100 without HIV. We will ask 100 people to come back in 6 months to do the sample again.
