Fellows are required to produce a paper or poster by the completion of their program. Fellows may participate in any of a number of ongoing research by grant funded faculty, or create and complete their own project under the supervision of research experts.
The Department of Psychiatry maintains and operates its own PET Scanner and sleep laboratory. Some faculty have joint appointments to the Department of Psychobiology, and work collaboratively with the Center for Learning and Memory.
Fellows in the past have taken advantage of our relationships with other departments as well. For instance, the Department of Pediatrics federally funded multicenter Attention Deficit Disorder treatment grant, or the Department of Social Ecology federally funded multicenter study on the impact of pre-school on development have generated "spin off" projects for our fellows.
