Get DIRECT has moved to a new and improved website vendor.  Our blog posts will continue on this new site. Don't worry -- we archived all of our previous RA Update and Research Brief blogposts.  Enjoy!

In order to better connect community members and interested parties to the current missions and programs of Project DIRECT, this blog aims to act as a resource through which you can find more information on who we are, what we do, and why we do it. We hope to keep you informed and involved in our journey to bring effective intervention and prevention programs to the preschoolers of New Orleans. To use this blog, you can scroll through our posts or search by category (descriptions below).

• RA Updates: Here, you'll find regular accounts from our research assistants currently providing on-site support to our local community partners and working on lab projects. If you're interested in their thoughts and experiences, make sure to check this category out! 

• Research Briefs: Interested in the results of our research? Want to know about current findings in the field of early childhood interventions? This is the place for you! We'll be breaking down the conclusions of recently-published journal articles into brief, simple blurbs so you can stay in-the-know about ongoing psychological discoveries (and apply them at home or at work!).
