CHIPS Research Institute is a five-day training consortium intended to bolster mental health research in the areas of intervention, prevention, and the provision of services for children and adolescents.
Each summer, the CHIPS Summer Research Institute is hosted at one of 6 sites: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Los Angeles, California; Baltimore, Maryland; San Diego, California; Tempe, Arizona; or Eugene, Oregon.
CHIPS fellows forge mentoring relationships with the CHIPS faculty, who help their fellows develop and meet their career objectives and embark upon a large-scale research project.
Each fellow receives a travel award to visit their CHIPS mentor and to attend one national academic conference during their fellowship year.
Below is the agenda for the 2010 conference.
