The purpose of the study is to address the lack of sufficient observational data related to lymphoma in Malawi and therefore by doing this to serve as a foundation for developing optimal treatment strategies that would be of more benefits in the treatment of Children, Adolescent and young adults with Burkitt lymphoma.

The TikTok Biology.UNC study is an educational study to assess students' views of the importance of science communication to the general public through a social media platform. Students enrolled in BIOL 101H.001 or BIOL 205.007 in the fall of 2021 will be creating TikTok videos as a required class assignment. Students will be asked to respond to surveys at the start and end of the semester, as well as after submission of each TikTok assignment, to gauge their views on the importance of communicating science to the general public.

This project attempts to examine the effectiveness of the I CAN PERSIST (ICP) STEM Initiative-a culturally sustaining counterspace designed to promote STEM persistence among WoC at 2-year colleges using a multigenerational mentorship framework focused on wellbeing and thriving.

This study aims at assessing the impact of the UNC undergraduate course known as "ICMU 401: Patient Facilitator Internship". Undergraduate students at UNC Chapel Hill have the opportunity to take this course, in which they observe and partake in the medical school curriculum weekly. While the course has been very popular, its impact on students has yet to be fully assessed. This study will involve conducting individual interviews to better understand the impact of the ICMU experience on students who have completed ICMU. This will allow us to have a better understanding of ways to improve the ICMU experience and the impact that ICMU has had on students. Assessing these impacts will allow us to suggest why these types of experiences are important and how this type of course could be implemented at other universities.

We are conducting interviews with residents and service providers across Edgecombe and Robeson Counties to support the development of the Whole Community Connection Program.

While diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are important to the missions of both the UNC Internal Medicine-Pediatrics (Med-Peds) and Pediatrics residency programs, there is continued need for advancing DEI curricula for residents to engage in during their residency training. Therefore, UNC Med-Peds program is creating a curriculum to provide residents with the opportunity to gain knowledge on current DEI issues, a safe place to discuss these issues, and the skills to counteract these issues in the workplace.

Maritime forests are late-successional ecosystems that establish in areas of barrier islands that are not frequently distributed. Now generally rare on the eastern seaboard, their growth patterns offer protection to the landform beneath and the human and natural communities with them in the highly dynamic setting of a barrier island. Buxton Woods, a maritime forest on Hatteras Island, is protected as a coastal reserve, but due to coastal and anthropogenic forces, likely these woods are changing. In conjunction with an assessment of environmental factors and vegetative communities, this Capstone course research will explore local residents' values and perceptions of the Buxton Woods Coastal Reserve.

The purpose of this research study is to assess the patient-level, healthcare provider/system-level, and community-level barriers to resolving abnormal mammograms and initiation of treatment of breast cancer in the 3 geographic regions of North Carolina: the greater Charlotte area, the Northwest, and the Northeast. These areas include the following counties: Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Stanly, Union, Edgecombe, Halifax, Nash, Northampton, Wilson , Ashe, Alleghany, Surry, Stokes, Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin, Forsyth, Avery, Caldwell, Alexander, Iredell, Davie, Davidson, Burke, Catawba, and Rowan. These barriers can include obtainment of biopsies and other diagnostic procedures for resolving abnormal mammograms abnormalities or breast symptoms, access to care providers after breast cancer diagnosis, and initiation of appropriate surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments after diagnosis.
