As a result of being awarded a P50 Capstone Center for Child Maltreatment Research and Training grant from NICHD (PI Noll), as well as a T32 Training the Next Generation of Scholars in Child Maltreatment Science grant from NICHD (PIs Jackson, Noll), the Child Maltreatment Solutions Network at Penn State is able to offer rich and varied training opportunities for new graduate students.

Graduate students and undergraduates with strong research acumen can work with Solutions Network faculty advisors by applying to graduate programs in participating departments, including Human Development and Family Studies, Developmental Psychology, Child Clinical Psychology, Biobehavioral Health, Nursing, Education, and Sociology and Criminology. Accordingly, students with a wide variety of interests related to child maltreatment science are encouraged to apply, all along the spectrum from child maltreatment risk to incidence to outcomes to treatment. Multiple opportunities for interdisciplinary work are available. We are also committed to supporting students of color in education, scholarship, and leadership in child maltreatment science. 

More information about our P50 Capstone Center, our T32 predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships, and our faculty research interests can be found on the Solutions Network website (www.solutionsnetwork.psu.edu). Please contact Dr. Erika Lunkenheimer with specific questions, ezl5238@psu.edu
