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 research team from the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute is conducting a study on the implementation of IYCF-E in Western North Carolina (WNC) after Hurricane Helene. This research aims to share lessons learned and improve the quality of future relief efforts through: 1) sharing lived experiences; 2) assessing effectiveness of training; and 3) informing the state- and national-level policy recommendations for incorporating Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) evidence-based practices.

To compare the prevalence, severity, and timing of chronic health conditions (CHC) in a cohort of patients with DS-AL (Down Syndrome Acute Leukemia) with age-comparable DS individuals that have no cancer history. Our secondary objectives will compare NP (Neuro-Psychological) and health-related quality of life outcomes in survivors of DS-AL compared with age-comparable DS individuals with no cancer history, and will identify risk determinants of CHC and NP late effects among survivors of DS-AL.
This study aims to understand how adults who have completed a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail planned for their thru-hike and adjusted their plans in response to different situations on the trail.
This study will ask parents who homeschool their high school-age children to provide information about how these students learn information literacy skills (specifically, how to find and evaluate sources).
