In this study, we want to learn more about two strategies that interrupt sitting: walking and seated pedaling. Sitting, or sedentary behavior, is a public health crisis that increases all causes of mortality and doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease. Interrupting sitting may help reduce the cardiovascular disease risk associated with uninterrupted bouts of sitting.

We want to learn how people's brains adapt when responding to various food stimuli and decision-making processes. We also want to learn about brain responses to food and beverage consumption. To do this, we will use taste tests, surveys, behavioral tasks, and neuroimaging (fMRI scan).

In this study, we will learn more about the safety and effectiveness of a study treatment that is injected into one of the kidneys of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes.

In the Carolina Blue Project, we want to learn more about work-related stress, eating behaviors, and cardiovascular disease risk factors among law enforcement officers. If you work as a law enforcement officer in any North Carolina or nearby states law enforcement department, you may be able to take part in this study. We do not collect any personally identifiable information. Officers who participate in the project and complete the two required steps will receive a $100 Amazon gift card.

Feeling stress when you are dealing with a condition or illness is common. We want to understand what that stress is and feels like for Latino adults who have been told by a medical professional that they have prediabetes (or blood glucose that is higher than normal but not quite diabetes). Getting experiences with prediabetes will help up better understand how to measure it and help future healthcare providers better understand the needs of Latinos with prediabetes. El estrés del automanejo de una condición como prediabetes no es fácil. En este estudio estamos interesados en entender las experiences de adultos Latinos con prediabetes. El objetivo es mejorar como profesionales de salud interactúan con Latinos con prediabetes para mejorar su calidad de vida.

We are doing this study to learn if exercise impacts the effect of social tasks on energy use and heart function. Since exercise may impact metabolic factors such as energy use as well as the impact of social situations on cardiovascular disease, we want to see how exercise impacts the effect of social situations on energy and metabolism, and whether this may affect your heart health.

Have you or your child been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during the past 12 months? Are you interested in helping researchers learn more about how to delay or prevent type 1 diabetes or how to treat type 1 diabetes? Join a registry to be notified of future opportunities to participate in type 1 diabetes research!

Latino/a/x populations are diverse, and one area of diversity is by race. For this study we are interested in learning from the perspectives of Black Latin Americans in the United States (Afro-Latinos) to understand their experiences in the U.S. This includes what stress they face, how that stress affects their health (physical, mental), and experiences with the healthcare system.

We are doing this study to test two programs that can help reduce stress and prevent chronic disease in people who are unemployed/underemployed and looking for work.

The purpose of this research project is to learn about whether a personalized eating plan designed specifically for teens with type 1 diabetes will help them better manage their blood sugar. This plan will be individualized to teens' unique preferences and daily routines. A dietician will provide ongoing support to the teen and family throughout the project
