National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): Treatment-Related Research for Youth with Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Problems
The goal of this REU site program is to provide undergraduate students (psychology, social work, biology, pre-med, education) with an in-depth, hands-on experience focused on gaining clinical research skills for children with social, emotional and behavioral problems (SEB).
Students are trained in the application of the scientific method to develop hypotheses, and trained on how to design and conduct research studies on treatment-related issues for children with SEB. Students are also trained in the ethical conduct of research.
Students are mentored by full-time, Ph.D.-level faculty members from psychology and medicine who have strong programs of research. Faculty members’ expertise includes:
Services for children and adolescents with SEBsParent-related stress and engagement in services for children’s SEBFactors impacting school services for SEBDecision-making for SEB services among parents, providers, teachers and childrenIntegrated health systems for children and families with SEB living in rural or underserved settings.
