Graduate and Postdoctoral Training
Graduate and Postdoctoral Training
The main avenue for graduate student and postdoctoral training is the T32 grant from NICHD, Creating the Next Generation of Scholars in Child Maltreatment Science. This program was launched in 2020 and is designed to nurture and develop the next generation of transdisciplinary scholars who will devote their careers to the child maltreatment sciences.
The child maltreatment T32 leverages the infrastructure, projects, and cores of the P50 by offering four topical training tracks: biological embedding; developmental processes; prevention and treatment; and policy, administrative data, and systems research. Mentors span five colleges from the fields of clinical child psychology, human development, sociology, biobehavioral health, pediatrics, educational psychology, nursing, and developmental psychology. In addition to immersion within and across substantive training tracks, training in ethics, innovative methods, translation to policy and practice, and community engagement are emphasized. The child maltreatment T32 supports four predoctoral and four postdoctoral fellows each year.
