To understand the perspectives of school staff in North Carolina on school nutrition programs and the potential impacts of offering school meals at no cost to all students.

1) Assess and compare adherence to IV and subcut vedolizumab maintenance therapy in patients with IBD using a novel remote monitoring system. 2) Assess symptom response to vedolizumab post induction (week 6-8) and during maintenance therapy (week 26) using a novel remote monitoring system. 3) Assess time to response to vedolizumab during induction (weeks 0-6) using a novel remote monitoring system.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation and impact of School Extension Learning Recovery Programs (SLERPs) authorized by the NC General Assembly in response to Hurricane Helene. These SLERPs will serve students in grades 4-8 in 13 western NC counties in summer 2025. The study team will collect data on SLERP program plans, student enrollments and attendance, benchmark exam scores, EOG scores, attendance, and grades for program attendees. The researchers will also conduct observations of SELRPs; interview district and school staff in the programs; and survey students and staff to understand stakeholders views of the programs. We will use a mixed methods approach to understand program implementation and impacts. Results from the study will provide evidence to education policymakers and practitioners on how the programs were designed and implemented; program impacts on student academic and school engagement outcomes; and the relationship between the program design and student outcomes.

The ASPIRE trial aims to study anticoagulant medications in patients who have had an intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) who also have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats).

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
