Even 3 years past initial lockdown, the COVID-19 pandemic is still a relatively new phenomenon in the world of sociology that leaves a lot to be explored. My senior thesis project aims to investigate an unexplored corner in this gap, specifically parenting and higher education. I'm interested in researching teaching instructors (professors, teaching graduate students, etc.) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who had parenting responsibilities through the COVID-19 pandemic while working at the university. I want to explore how the shift to online working/teaching affected parenthood and work/life balance, as well as the return to on-campus teaching. Although it will be an in-depth exploration, I'm specifically interested in what parts of parenting became easier during the pandemic and what instructors miss about the pandemic, and what this reveals about the gaps in higher education work culture.
We would like to learn about how people who apply for healthcare financial assistance experience the application process, including things that make the application process work well or that were challenging. At this time we are not able to offer interviews to people who applied to UNC or Duke, we are interested in hearing from people who applied to other programs (such as Atrium, Novant, Wake, Vidant, ECU, Cape Fear Health Net, Physicians Reach Out, or Project Access).
Are you scheduled for or planning to have a biopsy done at UNC Health? For this trial, we are looking for people who are 18 years or older who are suspected or diagnosed with Stage IV/metastatic cancer, including: • Lung: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), • Head and Neck: Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HSNCC), excluding nasopharyngeal and salivary gland cancer; • Kidney: Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC); • Bladder: Urothelial Carcinoma (UC); Skin: Cutaneous Melanoma, excluding Uveal Melanoma.
We are looking for adults who are interested in a weight loss program that uses a smartphone app and activity tracker to help them lose weight and develop healthier habits.
Have you been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and have residual disease after receiving preoperative therapy and surgery?
We are doing this study to test a behavioral lifestyle program designed specifically for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. Study participants will use a smartphone app and Fitbit activity tracker to help them develop healthier habits.
Do you have stage III colon cancer? Have you already completed surgery? If so, you may qualify for a study that uses a blood test called ctDNA to determine your treatment and to monitor for recurrence.
Do you have metastatic renal cell carcinoma? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study collecting information about how your therapy is affecting your quality of life.
Have you been diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study evaluation of an investigational treatment called FX-909 in cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of durvalumab IV solution plus bevacizumab IV solution after transarterial radioembolization(Y90 glass microsphere TARE) in participants with unresectable HCC amenable to locoregional therapy.
