Objective: To describe the challenges in training graduate-level pediatric psychology researchers for successful careers and to discuss solutions.Methods: We reviewed experiences in training graduate students at Case Western Reserve University to identify key challenges in research training and potential strategies to meet them.Results: We identified the following key challenges: stimulating graduate students' career interest in pediatric psychology research; teaching students about the pragmatic challenges of conducting research in pediatric settings, specialized research design, and data analytic issues; helping students to develop essential research skills; developing opportunities for student research-related collaborations; helping students develop professional identities as researchers; and developing and supporting their research careers beyond graduate school.Conclusions: Useful strategies for meeting these challenges include involving an interdisciplinary faculty in research training; developing specialized training methods that focus on critical research skills such as writing and data analysis; peer support; and involvement with multiple mentors who are successful researchers. Pediatric psychologists should also develop opportunities for the next generation of researchers by facilitating research job options and leadership opportunities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
