@robmoore3 Yes! We had initially submitted a proposal for an internal grant, but pivoted to another proposal when that one didn’t work out.

Your work sounds very exciting! I hope to hear more about it 😊 maybe we can grab coffee or something in the fall semester.

[Elyssa A. Geer, Ph.D. @GeerPsych]

@robmoore3 @NSF It’s gone well, I think I’m officially in year 2 now (I started July 1, 2024)! Just keeping busy & trying to stay in the flow. Thanks for asking 😊
