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.

Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MK-7240 in Participants with Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
The purpose of this study is to understand how well the learning resources at UNC-Chapel Hill's Library Makerspace meet the needs of first-generation and international undergraduate students. The study will explore what resources are available, how they are designed to help students learn, and whether students feel these resources reflect their cultural values, learning styles, and goals. To do this, I will look closely at the learning materials, talk with students in a focus group, and test a new resource based on their feedback. The goal is to find ways to improve the Makerspace's self-guided learning tools so they better support students from diverse backgrounds. This research will help the Library Makerspace create a more welcoming and effective learning environment for all students.
The study team will conduct focus groups of undergraduates to understand opportunities and barriers to increasing opportunities for writing in courses.
