Smith Lab Grant Submission Code

This repository houses organized grant submission materials and code for the Smith Lab research projects.

Participant-level source and analytic data are maintained in approved private storage and are not committed here. Project sourcedata/README.md files describe how private inputs are supplied to the preserved analysis code.

Repository Structure

The repository follows a standardized directory structure to maintain organization and consistency across all grant submissions:

Directory Contents

Root Level (grant-submissions/)

• Main repository README (this file)
• Individual grant folders

Grant Level (YYYY_GrantType-ProjectDataSource-Theme/)

• Grant-specific README with project details
• Submission folders for each version/attempt

Submission Level ([sequence]-submission/)
