The purpose of this research study is to better understand participant's experiences in our research study, including their motivations for and concerns about participating in research in order, to learn strategies to enhance participant experiences, safety, and benefit. We aim to collect data which can shape our data collection policies in our own lab and create inclusive research guidelines for other neuroscience researchers studying early childhood.
To adapt and initially test an established physical activity promotion intervention for use in adult supervised care (e.g., adult care homes, day cares).
I am looking to examine information-seeking behavior around how people repair and maintain unsupported legacy equipment.
Recent studies have suggested that previously unknown proteins found in human blood could be involved in certain auto-immune conditions. The purpose of this research study is to investigate the presence (or absence) of these proteins in blood from patients with SLE. Identifying new proteins involved in the SLE disease process could provide a new molecular model for auto-immune disorders and eventually lead to new diagnostic tools and/or new therapies.
To identify the expertise, interest, and capacity of the faculty and staff in the UNC Department of Family Medicine to conduct research on value-based care and primary care transformation.
The purpose of this study is to collect data on early educators' knowledge, attitudes, practices, and needed supports regarding African American English before and after engaging in a short community of practice on this topic.
The purpose of this expanded access IND (compassionate use) program is to provide tecovirimat for treatment or prevention of non-variola orthopoxvirus infections (e.g., vaccinia, monkeypox, cowpox or other human virus infection identified as an orthopoxvirus) and secondary treatment of complications from replication-competent vaccinia vaccine in adults and children.
To pilot an eLearning Neurodiversity Toolkit for employers of autistic adults.
This study aims to study best practices for future and current educators to use 360° images and videos for teaching and learning. The researchers will survey pre-service and in-service teachers along teacher educators to gain their insights and understandings. The participants will then use a website to build learning experiences that utilize 360° images and videos and ask them about their new understanding and if they have a deeper understanding of using 360° for teaching and learning. This study's benefits will be to gain a better understanding of this topic and develop best practices for supporting educators in using 360° images and videos in the classroom.
The purpose of the study is to understand why it is the case that authors do not submit reproducible research compendia even when a policy requires it (and policy guidance explains how). To do so, the study looks toward the specific mechanisms that inhibit and/or facilitate execution of data management tasks that support reproducibility. Identifying these mechanisms can inform the design of interventions that better equip researchers to produce and share high-quality research compendia. Such interventions may reduce the amount of time and labor currently required for current data verification workflows, which in turn may make journal-based data policies more feasible for a greater number of journals.
