Providing state-of-the-art training in clinical research is central to the mission of the CN major at UH. Research training is a fundamental building block of an academic career in clinical science and for effective evidence-based practice of clinical neuropsychology. Throughout their time in the CN major, students are actively engaged in producing publishable research in the laboratories of their mentors and collaborators, which may involve conducting independent and collaborative prospective studies, performing retrospective analyses of existing data, and/or writing scholarly reviews and book chapters. Statistics and research methods courses are taught in the first year and these important foundation topics are interwoven into other content courses (e.g., Lifespan Clinical Neuropsychology). Advanced electives are offered in grantwriting and scientific manuscript writing, which are workshop style courses that serve as incubators for submittable training fellowships, developmental grants, and manuscripts. In their second year, students complete an independent Master’s project, which they are encouraged to quickly convert into publishable manuscripts. In their fourth year, students complete an independent dissertation project that is intended to seed the trainee’s emerging program of clinical research. Examples of recent theses, dissertations, and publications supervised by Core UH CN faculty are listed in the menus to the left.
