Participate in brain activity research study for chance to win $100 Amazon card

Tuesday, May 28th, 2024

Do your part for science, a fellow student, and maybe even your Amazon wish list by participating in a two-week research study exploring brain activity in different conditions.

You won’t know what condition you’ll be doing until you sign up for the Richter grant study, but I can guarantee you won’t do anything life threatening, physically exhaustive, or anything that allows me to read your mind. The study requires you to sit in a room and do the task from one of the conditions. Sessions will only take 10 to 15 minutes.

Everyone who participates will be entered into a raffle for a $100 Amazon gift card! Write edelvalle21@georgefox.edu to be involved in this study.

Thank you!

– Eden Del Valle

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2024

Do you suffer from knee pain and are over the age of 50? You may very well be an ideal candidate for a research study being conducted by Rebecca Dobler, a faculty member in the university’s Department of Physical Therapy.

This research is done in conjunction with A.T. Still University to fulfill dissertation requirements of the principal investigator.

We are seeking participants who are over 50 with either self-declared knee pain or documented knee OA from a provider. An initial phone screening will be completed to determine your eligibility. The study will be conducted at the Medical Sciences Building at 448 Werth Blvd., in Newberg.
