In the study we are looking at how a bout of walking performed prior to prolonged sitting impacts arterial stiffness (non-invasive cardiovascular measure). This is important as increased arterial stiffness from prolonged sitting increases the risk for cardiovascular disease.
We are doing this study to test two programs that can help reduce stress and prevent chronic disease in people who are unemployed/underemployed and looking for work.

Did you know scientists can learn all about different medications, foods, and environmental exposures in a child's early life from their teeth? You may be able to take part in a research study to learn what factors increase children's risk of developing EoE (eosinophilic esophagitis)! We are looking for children and young adults (age 0-25) with or without EoE to volunteer. Compensation will be provided.

This study is trying to learn more about a medication called sparsentan, and how it can help the kidneys filter protein and slow the decline of kidney function. The amount of protein found in the urine (called proteinuria) is seen as a marker of kidney function. Lowering proteinuria levels is associated with better kidney health outcomes.
How does your baby's environment affect their brain? A child's brain grows quickly during pregnancy and infancy. If you are pregnant in your 2nd or 3rd trimester, you may be eligible to participate in a research study to find out how your environment affects your baby's brain development. Compensation provided.
We are doing this study to learn how the brain and muscles of the arm and hand communicate with one another in children experiencing weakness on one side of the body.
