I aim to examine the impacts of remote schooling on the racial/ethnic achievement gaps in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and what mechanisms led to this impact. My study will help map how the switch to remote schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted student achievement, particularly for students from marginalized backgrounds as compared to privileged students.
The purpose of this study is to explore how moral distress impacted CCNs who actively engaged in practice during the pandemic and today. A quantitative survey design will be used to gather CCNs perceptions of moral distress using the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R., Epstein et al, 2021); additional open-ended questions at the end of the survey will be used to gauge nurses' coping strategies and supports available to deal with moral distress. The open-ended questions will be derived from the literature, integrate the PIs observations, and used to complement findings from the MDS-R. The focus of this study will be solely on critical care nurses that worked through the COVID-19 pandemic due to the high-stress nature of that unit

This cross-sectional survey will document the mental health of minority students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. With the concurrent pandemics of COVID-19, systemic racism, and interpersonal violence, this study will contextualize how students are navigating these circumstances. Furthermore, the study will aid in assessing the strengths and shortcomings of the university's mental health landscape and how student-driven solutions can address these areas.
The primary aim of this study is to assess how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected resident-physicians' behavior regarding the 2020-2021 fellowship cycle.

The virus that causes COVID-19 disease infects many people, but only some get sick. We want to understand how COVID affects the immune system and what makes severe COVID infections different from other diseases that cause hospitalization and breathing problems. We collect samples of blood, sputum, urine, and stool from patients in the hospital to learn how COVID affects cells and molecules of the immune system.
