This is an annual UNC-Chapel Hill freshman survey as part of assessing undergraduate student development and using the results to enhance programs and services that support their success.
Our project aims to document how COVID-19 is changing schools and families, and to trace the ways these changes are shaping educational inequality. In collaboration with North Carolina's Guilford County Schools, we are surveying school leaders, teachers, and parents and guardians about the academic, material, and socio-emotional resources that school communities are collectively employing in response to the pandemic. Our analyses will document school school/family collaboration during the COVID-19 crisis; investigate racial and socioeconomic inequalities in access to school services and supports; and evaluate the consequences of school supports and school/family collaboration for learning loses during the pandemic-induced interruption in regular schooling. Ultimately, we hope this project will shed light on strategies that can mitigate the pandemic's potentially disastrous consequences for educational inequality.
The virus that causes COVID-19 disease infects many people, but only some get sick. We want to understand how COVID affects the immune system and what makes severe COVID infections different from other diseases that cause hospitalization and breathing problems. We collect samples of blood, sputum, urine, and stool from patients in the hospital to learn how COVID affects cells and molecules of the immune system.
We are doing a study to learn how quickly blood inside the eye goes away on its own. This kind of bleeding is called a vitreous hemorrhage. It can make it hard for people to see clearly. We will use a special eye ultrasound to take pictures over time and measure how the blood is clearing up. By doing this, we hope to learn when doctors might need to step in and when it's safe to wait and watch.
We are studying how eye pressure changes right after an Avastin injection, a common treatment for eye conditions. We want to see if there are differences in eye pressure between people with and without glaucoma, and between those with and without a tube placed in the eye to help with pressure. This will help doctors better understand how to care for patients after these injections.
