The purpose of the study is to understand the way students are assigned to teachers in K-12 schools and ideas for improving the process.

This study will engage practicing TRI teachers in an iterative development process to refine TRI activities and materials for small group instruction. Small groups provide the opportunity to reach a larger number of students in less time.

In this study we will look at sleep problems in the home as well as behaviors and differences in the brain (from infancy) associated with sleep problems in school-age. Parents of the participants of our prior study will participate by providing information on their child's sleep habits using a sleep watch, and completing a sleep diary and parent reports.

The purpose of this study is to explore correlations between lower extremity muscle characteristics, functional capacity and biomarkers in older adults in hopes of individualizing patient care.

This project aims to investigate the ways in which an innovative multigenerational STEM environment promotes STEM retention and persistence among undergraduate women of color.

We are studying how students respond to the information provided by grades in their courses and whether the grades they receive influence their subsequent selection of courses. We are especially interested in how this information influences students who are pursuing or thinking of pursuing a STEM major.

The purpose of this study is to help us better understand how patients with KS will respond to treatment with chemotherapy. We know from previous research studies that even though chemotherapy cannot cure KS, it can help a lot to improve symptoms caused by KS and cause KS lesions to become less or even go away for long periods of time.

Flooding is a frequent, expensive, and life-threatening hazard across the United States. Some towns have limited flooding damage by limiting the amount of new development in floodplains (areas known to be at risk of repeat flooding). This project explores why some towns have been able to limit development while others have aggressively built in the floodplains. We interview local stakeholders and residents in eight towns (four that have limited floodplain development and four that have not). We will ask about regulations that limit development and control flood risk in their towns. We will ask about why these regulations were or were not adopted, the process of adoption, how they are enforced, and any challenges faced. We will ask about their experiences with the regulations and their perceptions of flood risks. Our goal is to identify lessons learned that can help other towns improve their floodplain management.

As part of its commitment to expand access to treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs), North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services is pursuing a Section 1115 demonstration waiver to strengthen its SUD delivery system. Part of the waiver process involved a mid-point assessment of the implementation plan and recommendations to be delivered to the NC DHHS.

The SISTER study is comparing different kinds of support for Black patients during endometrial cancer treatment. SISTER is a "randomized controlled trial", or RCT. This means that if you decide to volunteer, a computer will assign you to a group. There are three groups in the study, and you will get support no matter what group you are in. You will also complete surveys and give us permission to collect information from your medical record that is related to the study.
