Note: Due to my non-faculty status at Stanford, I was not officially listed as PI or Co-PI on these grants. However, I was the effective PI or co-PI on all of these grants with respect to (1) co-authoring the proposal, (2) authorizing disbursement of funds, and (3) dealing with cognisant agency program officers regarding our progress.
