In this study, we want to learn how our genes and how we live can make kids overweight and cause health problems.

The purpose of this research study is to study the costs and health-related impacts of shingles eye disease.

Have you had a stroke? Did someone you care about have a stroke? If you are interested in participating in research studies related to stroke, you may join the UNC Stroke Research Registry. People on the registry may be called by researchers to find out if they want to participate in one or more studies related to stroke.

This project will examine how men and women define egalitarianism within a romantic relationship through individual interviews with romantic partners.

The purpose of this study is compare muscle activation patterns of lower limb amputees with able-bodied individuals across various tasks that require active ankle control. This comparison will inform the design of an electromyography based control in an experimental powered prosthesis.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether aspects of personality (the way people generally behave) relate to the types of choices people make. We will ask you a series of questions about your personality, and then ask you to complete three brief decision-making tasks.

Currently or soon-to-be breastfeeding a baby younger than three months of age? Interested in helping infants worldwide? We are interested in how mother's milk improves baby's brain function. Participants may be paid up to $225.

The purpose of this study is to understand the current state of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and inclusion in early childhood education, early childhood special education, and early intervention service delivery. The survey will ask about current practices in early education and early intervention. The survey will additionally ask participants about their feelings and beliefs, barriers, successes, and desire to learn more about STEM and inclusion. The information will be used to inform the STEM Innovations for Inclusion in Early Education (STEMIE) Center at Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute in its goal of helping early educators learn and apply STEM experiences for their young learners with and without disabilities.

The Registries inform individuals with autism, fragile X and intellectual and developmental disabilities about research studies.

Wood smoke pollution is a common problem across the world, including in the US. This wood smoke comes from people using wood to heat and cook, as well as from wildfires. The purpose of this research study is to screen individuals to see how they respond to wood smoke inhalation by measuring cells in sputum (or phlegm, that you cough up) to see if there is an increase in the number of cells after exposure. The exposure will be to 500ug/m3 of WSP for 2 hours, with intermittent exercise on a bicycle and rest. The wood is burned in a typical wood stove and piped into the chamber. There is a specific gene that we believe impacts the response to wood smoke exposure, we will also look to see if you have this gene or not (about 40% -60% of people do).
