The Division has its own research-training fellowship - a T32 grant funded by NIMH - that provides two years of funding for individuals interested in pursuing a research career in child psychiatry. Learn more about the fellowship.

The Division holds weekly research seminars that are open to JHU professionals. See current schedule.
