DEPARTMENT RESEARCH
Throughout the Division of Psychology at Cambridge Health Alliance,
there are opportunities for trainees to be involved in research.
At times, this involvement has helped shape a trainee's dissertation
research. It is also possible for trainees to be assigned research
mentors from psychologists who are involved in the Department of
Psychiatry's research. We encourage trainees' participation in the
ongoing research projects in the Department, and the development
of proposals for original research. Currently, approximately twenty
faculty members are engaged in research projects - a few with major
research grants, and other with smaller grants or unfunded projects.
Primary investigators often develop research projects in cooperation
with other members of the Department of Psychiatry, with other schools
within Harvard University, and with other affiliated institutions.
The Department of Psychiatry values research as the foundation
for improving the quality of clinical care, and considers the conduct
of research to be essential for determining the efficacy of methods
of care, and for disseminating these methods to the larger professional
community. Psychology Trainees, Interns and Post-doctoral Fellows
are encouraged to join existing research activities, and are provided
with technical and creative support in the development of new research
endeavors.
