The purpose of this research study is to learn more about patient preferences for care when undergoing treatment for drug use-associated endocarditis (DUA-IE), specifically treatment for addiction and antibiotic treatment.
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a commonly prescribed technology for restoration of limb function and muscular rehabilitation. FES works by artificially stimulating muscle fibers to generate a contraction. However, one of the main issues with the use of FES is the rapid onset of muscle fatigue, which makes it difficult to perform long-term periodic motions such as walking. Recent research has shown methods successful at mitigating the impact of muscle fatigue using multiple electrodes. Instead of using the traditional approach of two FES pads targeting a specific muscle group, this study will use multiple electrodes and cycles the order in which the electrodes are stimulating thus targeting specific muscles within the muscle group and reducing the muscle fatigue. However, how to optimize the current through multiple electrodes is not known yet. This study will help determine the optimization of multiple electrodes for reducing fatigue.
The goal of this study is to help CAPRICORN understand the needs of primary care clinics in North Carolina that provide free or low-cost healthcare. We will focus on how these clinics can offer cancer screening events to people in the community. To do this, we will create and use a survey to learn more about the needs of 3-4 clinics in North Carolina. Our findings will be shared in a report that includes suggestions for how CAPRICORN can grow over the next five years.

This mixed methods study aims to better understand parents' decisions in the Southeast United States who send their children to ACE and non-ACE preschool programs by exploring their characteristics and motivations for enrolling their young children in these programs.
This study seeks to determine the best practices for boosting the Mobile Crisis Workforce in Illinois. Right now, there is a massive shortage of people to help during mental health crises, and it is very important that we figure out how to fix this issue.
Compare two surgical procedures for treatment of trichiasis to see which one has better outcomes.
The primary objective of this repository is to make blood samples available for research studies related to histocompatibility and HC transplantation or other cellular therapy.
TCN PATHS is a Justice Community Opioid Innovations Network (JCOIN) study in collaboration with UNC-CH, Yale, The University of Puerto Rico, The Hennepin Research Institute, University of Rochester, University of Connecticut, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and the University of Miami, aims to improve health outcomes for justice involved persons with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Opioid overdose is the leading cause of death, and a common cause of morbidity, after release from jail. Recently, because medications for OUD effectively reduced relapse, recidivism and overdose, several jails have started to treat OUD with medications. However, OUD treatment discontinuation upon release is a persistent problem. The long-term goal of the study is to reduce morbidity and mortality from OUD among justice-involved individuals. The overall objective is to assess whether the Transitions Clinic Network (TCN), which provides enhanced primary care for people released from incarceration in 30 community health centers in the United States,
