8. Enhancement grants Overview Results Sustainability
“This funding was essential to help me keep my work (and therefore me) visible at a time in my life where it is easy to fade into the scientific background due to my family responsibilities. I was subsequently awarded an NSF grant to continue this project, and I suspect that the visibility that the Enhancement funds helped to provide was important in this process.” –Kelsey Johnson, Assoc. Prof. of Astronomy
In their own words,
Kelsey went on to take over as lead of this initiative
