The R15 REAP PA-22-060 opportunity was reissued as PAR-19-134 in December 2024; that new PA is no longer available. PA-22-060 is listed as expired but “applications may be accepted on a case-by-case basis” ?
If you submitted to PA-22-060 in October, maybe double check the status of your application

Brian, you’re still trying to catch that mouse? It’s been days. As a behavioral neuroscientist, I’m embarrassed for you. My 63 year old mom (no rodent training) easily caught one with a drinking glass not too long ago…lol! #upstaged

Just returned home from #ACNP2024 + a lovely family trip through Arizona & Utah. A special thank you to the amazing @briantrainor.bsky.social & @jaredwyoung.bsky.social for their continued friendship and support of my full membership into ACNP this year. Feeling very lucky 🍀 🤗
