I'm doing a project to learn how Lumbee food traditions are kept alive today. I'm talking with Lumbee community members about the meals they cook, the gardens they grow, and the stories they remember. These food traditions, like making cornbread or growing collards, help show who we are and where we come from. I want to understand how these traditions are passed down in families and shared in the community, even as times change. By recording these stories, I hope to help keep them alive for future generations.

The study explores imposter syndrome in EXSS undergraduates and factors associated with it.

To document and evaluate the verbal guidance of ultrasound (US) examinations to novice US operators. The data will aid in training and development of AI-assisted US system so that novice operators can confidently use US.

The purpose of this study is to investigate people's perceptions of political candidates and their campaigns in Peru.

The purpose of this study is to understand how professional stakeholders in coastal North Carolina interact with flooding data, collaborate with other agencies and/or entities, and communicate risk to their community.

The purpose of this study is to find better ways to keep people, especially kids, safe from lead in their homes. Lead is a dangerous metal that can harm the brain and body, even in small amounts. It's still found in many older homes, especially in paint/dust, soil, and drinking water. Getting a professional to test for lead can cost a lot of money and isn't always easy to do. Because of this, some families, especially in low-income and historically overlooked communities, may not know if their homes are safe. There are new, low-cost tools like test strips that let people test their homes themselves. This study is trying to find out how well these tools work and how easy they are for people to use.

Understanding how the lived experiences or residents may inform and improve public policy related to flooding.

The goal of this project is to bring together experts in family medicine and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to create a standardized POCUS curriculum that can be taught in medical school. The experts will help us figure out which parts of a POCUS curriculum are important, practical, and useful. We'll use information from this Delphi study to guide our decisions.

The aim of this study is to increase awareness and use of the haptics simulation lab at a research medical university using gamification. When the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry first purchased dental case simulators (Simodont), they purchased two and put them in a room disassociated with the preclinical lab resulting in very little use of the simulators. In August of 2024, eight more simulators were purchase and all ten were moved to the preclinical lab. Orientations to the simulators were in the form of eModules on Canvas and face-to-face hands-on training. Faculty members desiring to use them in their courses met with the Simodont administrator to edit cases that came with the simulators. Currently first and second year dental students are using the simulated cases in their preclinical courses with the third and fourth year students already in the clinic attending to

This study understand the different motivations, interests, and goals of students pursuing STEM majors. We want to compare the reasons for why they choose what they want to study. This information can help us understand why the attrition rate of students in physics majors is particularly high.
