The purpose of this study is to understand how well the learning resources at UNC-Chapel Hill's Library Makerspace meet the needs of first-generation and international undergraduate students. The study will explore what resources are available, how they are designed to help students learn, and whether students feel these resources reflect their cultural values, learning styles, and goals. To do this, I will look closely at the learning materials, talk with students in a focus group, and test a new resource based on their feedback. The goal is to find ways to improve the Makerspace's self-guided learning tools so they better support students from diverse backgrounds. This research will help the Library Makerspace create a more welcoming and effective learning environment for all students.

We will collect stem cells from individuals with autism to investigate brain development in sibling pairs who do not share a diagnosis of ASD, as well as examine associations between brain growth and variation in ASD-related behaviors.

To develop a definition consensus for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) surgical interventions.

This study aims to identify the prevalence of anatomical size and mobility differences in the sternoclavicular joint within a non-pathologic cohort. Additionally, we aim to describe the rate at which asymmetric anatomical differences present with functional interference and/or pain.

To compare the effect of different types of nail polish on bacterial counts before and after surgical scrubbing.

In this research study we want to learn more about COVID-19, including how the immune systems of children and young adults work to prevent COVID-19 and to help them recover from it.

I am looking to see if meaningful social interactions play an important role in the lives of gig workers. I am specifically looking to see if interactions between worker and customer have profound affect on the well-being of gig workers.

The purpose of this study will be to explore the recordkeeping practices of college students who have experienced the death of a loved one. The recordkeeping practices will be generally defined as actions taken to collect and maintain objects, photographs, and other memorabilia, both physical and digital, in remembrance of the deceased. This non-generalizable study serves to create avenues of awareness within the library science community regarding bereaved college students, identifying potential methods of support that can be provided from the field and areas of collaboration with other specialties.

We are no longer recruiting for this study. With the participants we do have, we obtain MRI images of the child's brain and administer cognitive behavioral assessments every 2 years. We are looking at brain structure, along with the assessments, to hopefully find biomarkers that predict mental illness.

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.
