CYDI partner Testimonials

Assistant Professor
Director, Neuroscience of Education Research on Development (N.E.R.D.) Lab


The CYDI provided access to specialized equipment (EEG) crucial to the collection of preliminary data for my NSF CAREER proposal, which I recently was informed has been funded.  Moreover, it has been instrumental in helping me develop productive collaborations that have helped advance my thinking and research in new directions.

The CYDI is been a wonderful resource. I’ve connected and collaborated with researchers across disciplines who are affiliated with the Center, and I have also been able to use their extensive registry to recruit research participants. The CYDI has excellent relationships with community stakeholders, and my work has very much benefitted from those existing partnerships.

I am not overstating when I say that collaborating with CYDI has been key for my success in obtaining funding. I encountered multiple challenges in creating community partnerships. Within 1-2 days of a discussion with Dr. Susan White, I was able to move forward. She has formed many, respectful relationships throughout Tuscaloosa and Alabama. Her connections made it clear to reviewers that my study was feasible. I am also certain that CYDI feedback (Dr. Susan White and Dr. Hudac) contributed to an outstanding score on my NIH-funded proposal. Their collective grantsmanship and creativity helped me generate a better proposal. And it was an enjoyable process. Win-win.

I ​really appreciate CYDI's support for grant review before I submit my first R01 grant proposal. CYDI also helped advertising my FEELING project on their social media and participant registry, which tremendously helped with participant recruitment for this longitudinal research project.
