Research & Clinics
Reaching Community Through Research
In our innovative program, faculty, undergraduate and graduate students engage in a wide variety of research that explores development and mechanisms of psychology. Our students gain experience in high-level research labs that address complex real-world issues, from mental health and resilience to relationships and decision making. Our world-class faculty collaborate in diverse teams with students and scientists from around the globe, conducting multi-method research to advance science, policy and practice.
As part of our commitment to sharing psychological science for the public good, our clinics provide key benefits to graduate students and to the Denver community. Our graduate students gain clinical experience working with supervising faculty mentors and our community gains access to low-cost therapy as well as psychological and diagnostic testing services. Undergraduates work with faculty mentors in community sites in and around Denver through courses like Field Experiences. It’s all part of how our faculty and students work collaboratively with the community to develop, implement and share research—moving beyond the bounds of the traditional classroom.
