This study aims to better understand how parenthood affects people with cystic fibrosis (CF). We will survey people with CF who are parents and those who are not and monitor health outcomes over time.
A case study of ten biomedical engineering programs in which two universities collaborate on at least a Ph.D. degree. The intent is to identify circumstances that lead to successful inter-university collaboration as measured by research output, including publications and patents, along with patent citations.
The goals of this research are to: (1) understand how hearing develops throughout the lifespan; (2) determine the factors associated with successful speech, language, and hearing outcomes for individuals spanning a wide range of ages and abilities; and (3) advance auditory assessment practices for both neurotypical and diverse populations.
This project will investigate how different types of search engines (e.g. Google) and generative AI systems (e.g. chatGPT) may help users when conducting information-seeking tasks. Our results will inform the design of search tools and increase our understanding of how generative AI systems can be integrated with search tools to assist users.
This study is comparing two approaches for monitoring and addressing symptoms among adult patients with kidney failure who are treated with hemodialysis. For the first approach patients use an electronic system twice a month to report their symptoms. The system sends alerts to their medical team at the dialysis clinic about the reported symptoms and gives suggestions about how to manage them. The system also provides reports that show patients and their medical team the reported symptoms over time. For the second approach patients complete a quality of life questionnaire that includes questions about symptoms once a year. The questionnaire does not have follow-up support like alerts, symptom management guidance, or reports. In addition, researchers will talk to patients, dialysis clinic personnel, and medical providers about their experiences using the electronic symptom monitoring system to learn about how to best use patient-reported outcome measures in dialysis care.
This study will identify and explore the various ways that archivists and librarians make LGBTQ archival materials accessible online and digitally and inquire about their experiences with material that has been mislabeled.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new test being developed by Tempus for patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The goal of this new test is to predict the likelihood of a patient's cancer coming back after treatment, and to further explore changes in patient's tumors throughout treatment to see how they respond.
This study aims to design and improve tools that can be used to select strategies for improving colorectal cancer screening in different settings and populations. Interviews, surveys, and focus groups will be conducted with individuals who make decisions related to colorectal cancer screening interventions about their understanding, preferences, and suggestions related to these tools and intervention strategies.
