The Flourishing Research Collaboratives (FRC) was established by Dr. Moon in collaboration with co-conveners including Drs. Shaun Eack, Jay Hugeley, and Ron Idoko. Its mission is to expand the scope of the work in the Flourish Research Lab by fostering collaborative efforts among faculty members both within and beyond the Social Work department. The FRC is financially supported by the Social Work Research Collaboratives at Pitt School of Social. Dr. Daniel (Hyungjik) Lee (research supervisor) and Ayala Rosenthal (research assistant) are providing ongoing support and assistance with the FRC Initiatives. The FRC is committed to:
- Fostering both internal and external collaborations to advance research dedicated to human flourishing.
