Enhancing interdisciplinary graduate education in prevention science is a core focus of the PSI. The institute provides multiple opportunities for graduate training by:

1. Obtaining predoctoral minority supplements to funded R01 and other grants to support qualified minority doctoral students,
2. Providing a research training structure for graduate students in the prevention science master’s and doctoral programs offered by the university’s counseling psychology and human services department,
3. Providing applied settings for students in counseling, school, and clinical psychology for training in evidenced-based practice, and
4. Providing mentorship and support for graduate students submitting applications for independent funding, such as NRSA and NSF fellowships and foundation fellowships.
