On how research-collaborations are also networking Dr. Carissa Smock It continues to be very valuable for me to be a part of a research team with similar research lines and goals. A colleague at Kent State University attended my dissertation defense and afterward we talked about how much our interests, strengths, and weaknesses could support our shared goals. Within the next month, we were working together on a grant proposal, presentations, manuscripts, and working to grow our clinical and park partnerships. We continue to do this work today through weekly check-ins that hold us accountable while remaining flexible. That first grant was rejected, but we are now working with the extremely helpful support of the many involved at NCU (a special thank you to Dr. Becky Collins!) and look forward to continuing our efforts together with our growing team.
