Research in the Department

The Department of Psychiatry values research as the foundation for improving the quality of clinical care and considers it essential for determining the efficacy of methods of care and for disseminating these methods to the larger professional community. Throughout the training year, Fellows are encouraged to pursue research interests and will be supported in their endeavors.

Our mentoring system has successfully supported Fellows applying for research awards, Livingston and DuPont-Warren Fellowships from Harvard Medical School, and American Psychiatric Association/NIMH Research Training Grants. Fellows have the opportunity to interact and work with eminent Harvard faculty through workgroups facilitated by the Harvard Catalyst.
