I contributed to the dissemination of our research in several formats: peer reviewed journal articles (as a co-author), conference presentations, and a comprehensive data dictionary. I also provided written status updates and project summaries, developed written protocols for data collection, and assisted with grant applications. • Outreach and Partnership Building: I raised awareness about our project by contacting relevant federal, state and local organizations, attending and organizing meetings and conferences, submitting joint grant applications, and developing a pilot grant program. • Supervision and Administration: I hired, trained, and supervised the project’s full-time research assistant and trained and supervised temporary research assistants and other project staff. I also helped develop the project budget, purchased equipment and software, and communicated project needs to senior project staff. Show less
