The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of how well-prepared teachers feel to meet their professional responsibilities during their first year on the job.

The purpose of this study is to understand what individuals focus on at work and how that influences their perceptions and behavior.

This research trial studies kidney tumors in younger patients. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue, blood, and urine from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine which new magnetic resonance sequences provide better, faster and more useful information. A sequence is a distinct method of obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) images. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is made up of many different imaging sequences. These new sequences will be implemented on either on a 3 Tesla (3T) MR system, a 7 Tesla (7T) MR system (single- or multi- transmit), or both. Since the signal-to-noise ratio for MR images is highly dependent on the magnetic field strength, the anticipated signal-to-noise will be 7T greater than 3T and 3T greater than 1.5T systems. The 3T MR system is FDA approved whereas the 7T system is not FDA approved, but is built to the same standards as other FDA approved scanners. In addition, the FDA has approved magnetic field strength up to 8T for human imaging. Participants will be told ahead

This study examines how willing people are to punish a person for committing an act of political violence based on whether the victim is a politician or civilian, and how a denouncer's status as a politician or civilian impacts people's willingness to punish political violence. Our experiment also aims to measure whether these variables impact participants' desire to run for office. The results of this study have several implications in the field. First, understanding how to change people's reactions to political violence may allow us to develop effective methods to decrease support for political violence. In addition, our results may provide insight into why people desire to run for office.

This project has the goal to study the use of mindfulness practices (e.g., body scans, guided meditation) in high school physical education.

This study examines how characteristics of women's relationships with family members are related to their health during pregnancy. Results will suggest how families can become more supportive of women's health during pregnancy.

The proposed study will investigate whether knee joint manipulation can improve neurocognitive and neuromuscular performance in individuals with a history of ACLR.

The central aim of this UNC-Gillings Practicum opportunity is to offer a UNC-Gillings MPH student the opportunity to contribute to developing and improving our community-engaged, clinic-based and research project whose goal is to better understand the complex issues surrounding prevention, education, diagnosis, treatment and barriers to care for children and adults living with sickle cell disease in Kalangala, Uganda.

The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Education is interested in conducting an educational research study with parents and their 4-5-year-old children. The broad goals of the project are to better understand how parents and children interact while reading together and engaging with age-appropriate science-related toys. This study will help us better understand how children learn and help promote positive academic outcomes.
