In this study, we want to find out more about the relationship between jumping and running tasks and a virtual reality task. We also want to find out how a recent concussion (within the last 9 months) may impact completing these tasks.
Do you ever notice that you feel more energized or alert when meeting new people and forming first impressions? Other times, a first meeting will rub you the wrong way and you may feel less attentive. If you've experienced one or both of these, you may wonder: What makes a good first impression? How do you know you want to become friends with someone? What information do we pay attention to when interacting with someone for the first time? Good questions! Neuroscience and psychology researchers wonder about the same things. Here at the Social Neuroscience and Health lab, we study how the brain and the immune system work together to influence our behaviors and experiences. The Friendship Pathways Study is a research project aiming to answer questions about how the brain and immune system communicate when meeting new people and forming friendships.
Have you been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis? Are you getting ready to undergo physical therapy for knee osteoarthritis? If so, you may be able to participate in a research study comparing a standard physical therapy program versus one using video game therapy. Compensation provided.
Are you interested in losing weight to improve your health? This is an innovative research study that aims to promote weight loss in older adults through either a health coach or a registered dietitian and physical therapist. In those not showing weight loss at 8-weeks, we will try a different strategy to maximize the chance of losing weight. We will provide a gift card incentive for your time.

In this study, we want to interview the parent/caregiver who stayed behind when the 82nd Airborne Division deployed through the Immediate Reaction Force (IRF) in January 2020, August 2021, and February 2022. We would like to learn how parents/caregivers feel this experience affected their school-aged children (K-12). Our goal is to give a voice to families to share their experiences, and help determine what additional supports might help families with future IRF deployments.
Have you been diagnosed with Lateralized Oropharyngeal Cancer . If so, you may be able to take part in a research study looking at the safety by using a special imaging study called lymph node mapping (lymphatic mapping) Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT-CT) compared to the usual treatment when radiotherapy is given .
Do you have AML, ALL, or MDS, and are preparing for a stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor? If so, you might be able to take part in a study to will see if a reduced dose of a drug called cyclophosphamide will still reduce your chances of developing Graft versus Host disease, but also lower your chances of side effects from the drug.
We are testing out a device that collects physical function data among older adults who have multiple chronic conditions. We want to see if the device works efficiently and is user friendly.
The study treatment, finerenone, is being developed to help people who have long lasting kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by blocking a certain hormone called aldosterone that causes injury and inflammation in the heart and kidney which is known to play a role in CKD. In this study, the researchers want to learn if finerenone works the same way in kidney transplant recipients. Some subjects will receive the study drug and some will receive a placebo.
