Department of Allied Health Sciences: Understanding the Association Between Hearing Loss and Falls
Wed. 14 Apr, 2021 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Understanding the Association Between Hearing Loss and Falls: Current Perspectives and Future Directions
Falls and falls-related injuries result in substantial morbidity, mortality, and disability among older adults. This presentation will discuss current knowledge on the association between sensorineural hearing loss & falls as well as a proposed mechanistic model. Preliminary results on whether the association is modified by hearing healthcare intervention (i.e. hearing aids and/or cochlear implants) will also be discussed.

Orientation for New Clinical Research Personnel: Week 5
Wed. 14 Apr, 2021 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
This six-part orientation is strongly recommended for all clinical research personnel who are new to UNC or new to research. The series will introduce research personnel to the UNC offices involved in clinical trials, discuss the federal and local regulations governing conduct of research, and provide an overview of best practices utilized in the implementation of clinical research. It is recommended that registrants complete both the CITI Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and CITI Human Subjects Protection (IRB/Ethics) modules prior to attending the orientation.
Each session of the orientation will be held on Wednesday afternoons,1:30 to 4:30pm. Research personnel are encouraged to attend all 6 modules, but may choose to attend only those of particular interest or relevance. The topics to be covered this week include:
- Study Start Up and Roles of Research Personnel (Laura Viera) - 1:30 pm - 2:25 pm
- Recruitment Services / Carolina Data Warehouse (Emily Olsson) - 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm

ISP Spring Seminar Series: Development of Early Childhood Executive Function
Thu. 15 Apr, 2021 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The Role of Prenatal Experience and Infant Sleep in the Development of Early Childhood Executive Function
In this seminar, Cathi Propper, PhD, will focus on early predictors of cognitive outcomes in preschool age children. Specifically, prenatal experience such as stress, inflammation, and nutrition play a critical role in shaping childhood developmental trajectories and they differ by sociodemographic status. Prenatal experience may also influence infant sleep across the first year of life, which may act as a mediator of the relationship between prenatal experience and cognitive outcomes.
Propper will present the results of a pilot study that examined these links in African American families and will provide details about an innovative naturalistic observation of infant sleep in the home that may help explain associations.
The Inclusive Science Program (ISP) focuses on increasing the inclusion of populations that have been historically underrepresented in clinical and translational research. The ISP Spring Seminar Series highlights research with a focus on diverse representation.
