Our goal is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effects of Pharm-SAVES suicide prevention gatekeeper training for community pharmacy staff communication behaviors, knowledge, and self-efficacy.

To evaluate the accuracy of a new software in the prediction of growth and rupture of aortic aneurysms.

The purpose of this research is to improve early diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and through the implementation of cascade screening, or family genetic testing for FH. To identify areas for improvement, we are recruiting stakeholders to participate in qualitative interviews. We will use this information to better understand barriers and facilitators for a specific diagnostic strategy called cascade screening. This strategy involves contacting family members to discuss their risk of having familial hypercholesterolemia and arranging for screening to check for very high cholesterol and genes associated with it. Once this tool has been implemented, we will conduct 20 more qualitative interviews to further understand barriers and facilitators to adoption of the diagnostic tool.

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which engaging teachers in iterative design processes with scientists increases their content knowledge of and self-efficacy for incorporating current biomedical science into their teaching. This study includes a professional development program with a teacher-driven curriculum development component.

To test the pay-it-forward strategy as a means of increasing rates of testing for gonorrhea

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

Our experimental aims are to 1) evaluate two methods for collecting dried blood spots (i.e., finger prick versus Tasso M20) and 2) examine correlations between psychological variables and pro-inflammatory markers. To achieve these, we will be implementing a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) and plan to assess its effectiveness in student success (e.g., academic performance, involvement in research, and retention in STEM).

We are collecting cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from Normal Pressure Hydrocephaly (NPH) patients to generate a biosample research repository. This repository will be used to research CSF biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease that may enhance our ability to detect and monitor Alzheimer's disease diagnoses and progression.

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.

Participants in this study are asked to read a list of words, then sort the words into categories based on their vowel sounds (ignoring letters). We are trying to find out how different two sounds have to be acoustically before speakers consider them to be linguistically different.
