In the United States, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines typically have lower rates of retention than other fields, such as the social sciences. Retention rates in some STEM disciplines are even lower for groups that are underrepresented and marginalized in academia and STEM. Office hours are the primary vector for interaction between most students and their instructors. To address both the challenges of teaching across different classroom sizes and building equitable and effective learning experiences for all students, this project will examine the role that pedagogical practices, student and instructor perceptions and attitudes, course structures, and campus environments have on student outcomes and retention in STEM. Specifically, we seek to understand faculty and student usage and perceptions of STEM course office hours.

The purpose of this study is to understand the perspectives of Denver Museum of Nature and Science staff who have participated in repatriation of cultural materials to their community of origin.

The purpose of this study is to understand how your gut plays a role in how well CAR T cell therapy works. Your gut is home to bacteria, which we call the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome can send signals to your immune cells, which may impact how well and how long CAR T cell therapy will last. We can find out what type of bacteria are in your gut microbiome by studying your stool. We can understand more about the signals sent to the immune system by studying your blood. We will ask for stool and blood at the same time points throughout your treatment. We will study the identities and function of the bacteria and immune cells to understand more about how these signals work during CAR T cell treatment.

Examine the consumer journey of enlisting in the U.S. Army through the eyes of recruits and recruiters with a focus on the use of paid, owned, and earned digital content marketing effects.

This project should provide the Army Recruiting Command and academia with a fresh analysis of how digital content marketing is used and effects job-seeking decision making for signing a lengthy (3-6 years) contract to be an employee of an well-known organizations. Further, it provides co-orientation analysis of how recruits and recruiters both used and experienced digital content marketing efforts.

Tobacco use is not only the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in North Carolina and the United States, but it also has uniquely damaging impacts on oral health. All forms of tobacco are well known to cause oral cancer, gum disease, and other oral health issues. The purposes of this study are to: 1) measure educational outcomes of dental students and providers from implementing a pilot interprofessional tobacco cessation resource program in the dental setting and 2) explore the impact of such a program on associated patient outcomes.
