This project will examine the effects of a comprehensive intervention that blends financial, advising, and social supports on outcomes for students at public 4-year institutions who have transferred from community colleges. The transfer, accelerate, complete, engage (TrACE) intervention will take place at several UNC System universities. Two cohorts of students will be offered access to the TrACE program-the first starting in Fall 2022 and the second starting in Fall 2023. TrACE supports last for two years. The research team will explore the effects of access to TrACE on long-run outcomes such as degree completion (2-year and 3-year rates).

we propose the creation of a prospective multi-center registry of patients with IBD and EIM, initially focusing on peripheral arthritis, the most common and understudied EIM, to better understand clinical course and management.
