This preliminary fieldwork will allow me to assess site feasibility in Georgia, North Carolina, and Colombia for an ethnography of agricultural intermediaries and will shape my future dissertation project and course of studies. The research seeks to expand understandings of extension, an agricultural development model characterized by top-down dissemination of university-based research. Studying how extension employees navigate between their bureaucratic organizations and the farmers they serve -- noting who is considered an expert, how knowledge and technology are produced, and who is involved in the process (and under what circumstances) -- has potential implications for a more just food system.

We are assess the utility of using a required doctor badge insert along with normal physician name tags to help patients and staff more accurately identify physicians. In particular, residents, or trainees, especially those in surgery are often misperceived as nurses, students, or other non-physicians.

This study recruits participants who receive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for their depression. We investigate how brain rhythms change during the treatment to better understand how TMS affects the brain.

This study is being conduced to assess the feasibility of conducting multi-center prospective studies on surgical excision of suspected OSSN lesions in SSA in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

The primary objective for this registry is to prospectively study the natural history of IBD, the prevalence and incidence of comorbidities, and targeted adverse events, as well as the utilization patterns and the comparative effectiveness and comparative safety of approved IBD treatments.

This project studies how our ability to hear with two ears changes as we age or develop hearing loss.

The purpose of this research study is to understand how the monitoring of Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) could help improve surgical care for patients undergoing chest surgeries. PROs are symptoms directly reported by patients through the completion of a survey.

The objectives of this pivotal clinical trial are to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PASCAL System for transcatheter tricuspid valve repair with OMT (optimal medical therapy) compared to OMT alone in the treatment of patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation.

Collect a bank of respiratory samples from pediatric patients with airway infection, particularly viral infection. Analysis of these samples should help us develop new treatments for airway infection in children.
