The CHIPS Research Institute is designed for approximately 18 doctorally-prepared participants who have an interest in research in children or adolescents with psychiatric disorders with a focus on prevention and treatment interventions or mental health services research.  The Institute is geared toward:

• Postdoctoral Research Fellows

• Fellows in Child Psychiatry with an interest in research

• Junior Faculty who have not yet obtained independent funding (i.e., a K award or an R34; small foundation grants and institutional funding do not make a candidate ineligible to participate in CHIPS)

We accept MDs in a variety of disciplines (e.g., psychiatry, neurology, pediatrics) and PhDs in the following areas:

• Psychology

• Sociology

• Social Work

• Nursing

• Public Health

• other PhD areas (send us an email and check with us if you have a different doctoral degree)

CHIPS cannot accept applicants whose primary interest is in substance or alcohol abuse. Services research in the area of autism is included under the CHIPS umbrella, but not prevention or treatment of autism.
