We studying novel human-agent partnerships for helping students, instructors, and workers solve computer-based problems

We are studying patterns and processes of land degradation and rehabilitation in Africa.

Early Check is a research study to check newborns for rare but serious health problems. • Early Check does extra, free tests on the newborn screening blood sample that was already taken in the hospital using a heel prick. The tests allow us to find newborns with these health problems before symptoms start. • The goal of Early Check is to learn about the health problems and look for better treatments to help babies that have them.

The purpose of this work is to address institutional administrative capacity with input from UNC Chapel Hill and North Carolina Central University post-doctoral fellows and faculty to better understand experiences associated with previous research collaborations and assess perceived benefits and barriers to developing research capacity among investigators from under-represented minority groups.

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.

The purpose of this research study is to understand how to better support learning while searching online. In this study, participants will be asked to: complete a search task online to learn about a particular topic, respond to questionnaires that ask about your experience before and after the search task, and complete an assessment immediately after the search task and one week later about the search task topic.

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. Prior research has shown that this varies based on both race and gender.

The purpose of the study is to see how Kenyan clerics at the Coastal Region used social media platforms to communicate with their followers in areas including spiritual needs, teaching, counseling during the pandemic due to lockdowns by the government.

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).
