Having friends over to celebrate being back in Boulder? Register your party to lessen your chances of receiving an expensive ticket. By registering your party with Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations, the registrant will get a 20-minute warning before police officers arrive if your residence receives a noise complaint.

Students must take an in-person orientation before using the party registration program. Visit UMC 313 or email OCHNR at [email protected] to learn more.

The Research on Affective Disorders and Development Lab is conducting research on stress coping in CU students! The SCCY study has the goal of understanding what factors help or make it more difficult for students to cope with stress and thrive in college.

This study lasts three semesters:

1. At the beginning of the study and in your third semester, you will complete a 4–6 hour lab visit.
2. In your second semester, you will complete two sets of online questionnaires (<1 hour)
3. Each semester you will complete a short (1–3 minutes) survey every day for three weeks. 

The study takes place over the course of three semesters and you will be compensated for your participation. Eligible participants can make up to $446–$470 for completing the study!

Researchers from the Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory at CU Boulder are conducting a study to investigate if electrical stimulation applied to the legs can reduce fatigue and improve walking in persons with multiple sclerosis.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

• Are between18–65 years of age
• Have clinically confirmed diagnosis of MS
• Are able to walk but have some difficulty walking
• Experience some fatigue during activities of daily living

The 11-week study involves four evaluation visits and 18 treatment sessions (three times/week for six weeks):

• Evaluation sessions (approximately two hours each)
• Answering questionnaires
• Tests of walking, balance and muscle function
• Treatments (approximately 60 minutes each)
• TENS applied to leg muscles while performing weight-lifting exercises
• The treatment will be applied to two muscle groups in each leg

Participants will be paid up to $880 for completing the 11-week trial.

If you are interested, please contact Mélanie Henry by email at [email protected] and reference the MS clinical trial.

Come play a game with a robot! The Neuromechanics Lab needs volunteers for a study on effort and motor learning. We are interested in how effort during a movement changes how you learn. The insights from this study will help us design optimize rehabilitation and movement training. 

In the game, you use a robotic handle to guide a cursor to a series of targets. 

You must: 

• Be between 18–35 years old 
• Be right-handed 
• Have no movement impairments that could impact your ability to complete a reaching task 
• Have no upper-arm injuries within the last year

The study will involve about one hour of testing in our campus laboratory (1B21 ECSL, 1111 Engineering Drive, Boulder, CO 80309). We will schedule a 90-minute visit (in case of delays) at your convenience.

You will be compensated for your time and effort with an Amazon gift card.

Walk on a treadmill with motion capture! 

The Neuromechanics Lab needs volunteers for a study on learning and effort in a walking task. We are interested in how the effort involved in a movement impacts how you learn in a new environment. The task involves walking on a treadmill with separate belts for each foot at walking speeds.

You must be English-speaking, between 18–35 years old, have normal or corrected vision, no movement control or vestibular problems, and no recent lower-limb orthopedic surgeries or broken bones.

The study will involve one visit to our campus laboratory (1B21 ECSL, 1111 Engineering Drive, Boulder, CO 80309), lasting 90 minutes. Both visits will include motion-capture of your walking gait. 

You will be compensated with an Amazon gift card.

The Integrative Physiology of Aging Lab at CU Boulder’s campus is seeking volunteers to participate in a clinical research study. We are looking for women and men, ages 40-plus, who are willing to participate in water immersion sessions approximately three times per week for 12 weeks, and have above normal blood pressure (a top number of 115 or higher; if you are unsure of your blood pressure, please still contact us for screening).

Benefits for volunteers include: cardiovascular health assessment, exercise stress test, body composition, blood chemistries and monetary compensation for time.

For more information, please email [email protected] or call 970-460-8970.

Welcome back, Buffs! Stop by these neighborhood events on the Hill and in East Aurora to get tips and learn more about living in the Boulder community. Hosted by Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations, you can find support and make connections in your neighborhood during Fall Welcome.

A biological hallmark of aging is “cellular senescence”, which is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction. Compounds called “senolytics” that decrease the number or amount of senescent cells may be effective for improving age-related cardiovascular dysfunction and possibly brain health. 

The Integrative Physiology of Aging Lab at CU Boulder is trying to determine whether intermittent oral supplementation with a natural compound with senolytic properties called fisetin (found in strawberries, onions and cucumbers and available as dietary supplement) will improve blood vessel function, reduce artery stiffness, and improve cognitive function (a measure of brain health) in adults ages 65-plus.

Benefits for volunteers include: cardiovascular health assessment, cognitive function tests, blood tests and compensation for time. 

For more information, please email [email protected], or call 303-735-6410.
