Does your child have hearing loss in one ear, or single-sided deafness? If they are under the age of 3, they may be able to receive a cochlear implant as part of a research study to find out if early implantation helps children with single-sided deafness. If they are five, they may be able to help us study differences between children who receive a cochlear implant when they are little, children who do not receive a cochlear implant, and those with typical hearing.
Interested in participating in future research studies? Whether you have had a previous ACL injury or not, you may be able to take part in several research study opportunities. This registry simply collects your contact information and then we will reach out if any study opportunities are available.
We study how the immune system protects against viruses and bacteria without causing excessive harm to organs like the lungs, heart, and kidneys. We need a small amount of blood to study how immune cells ("white blood cells") turn on important proteins when they sense a bacteria or virus nearby.
Interested in participating in brain research? If you are 18-35 years old, you may be able to take part in a research study to learn how people make impressions! The study consists of completing a task while in an fMRI scanner and completing various cognitive tasks. Compensation of up to $50 provided.
Are you interested in participating in orthopedic research? Are you otherwise healthy, with no previous history of lower extremity orthopedic injury? If so, you may be able to participate in a research study to determine the gait patterns of an otherwise healthy population.
Are you an African American/Black woman? You may be able to take part in a research study about structural racism, stress, and factors that reduce the risk for cardiometabolic diseases in African American women. Compensation provided.
Up to 30% of individuals who injure their anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) suffer another ACL injury following reconstruction surgery. Improving function of the hamstrings muscles may reduce the risk of a second ACL injury. This study will determine if a novel rehabilitation tool (local muscle vibration) improves muscle function and landing characteristics (biomechanics) that are linked to ACL injury risk. Compensation is provided.
Have you had ACL reconstruction? You may be able to participate in a research study examining how brain function might change after surgery. Compensation provided.
Do you wonder about your mobility as you age? You may be eligible to participate in a research study investigating age effects on foot-ankle mechanical power interactions with the goal to enhance foot and ankle function in aging and mobility. Compensation provided.
Do you have eczema? Do you want to have a dermatologist follow your eczema closely? If you have eczema, you may be able to take part in a research study to help researchers learn more about what causes eczema and what makes certain treatments work better than others. Compensation provided.
