Clinical Psychology
Student Productivity and Success
The doctoral program in clinical psychology has been successful supporting students in their pursuit of research that will address critical scientific gaps in our field. This success is exemplified in several ways, most notably by the number and type of competitive fellowships they receive to support such research.
Below is a list of current graduate students in the clinical psychology program who have received graduate student fellowships from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the University of Rochester.
See the Student Admissions, Outcomes, and Other Data (pdf) for more information on our program’s overall success.
