- Title
Training Psychologists to Integrate Basic, Applied, and Evaluation Research: In Pursuit of Meaningful Contributions.

- Abstract
As many as 80% of psychology doctoral students being trained in Canadian universities will pursue careers beyond traditional tenure-track faculty careers. However, most research focused doctoral training programs in psychology primarily prepare students to conduct basic research in a way that will increase their chances of obtaining a tenure-track faculty position and eventually earning tenure. This paper describes an established psychology graduate training approach that prepares students to apply the science of psychology in both applied research and academic careers. Faculty in Canadian Psychology Departments are encouraged to think about how they might add at least some of the components of this approach to meet the needs of the changing graduate student population in Canada and to empower the next generation of Canadian research psychologists to purposely focus on using psychological science to promote social betterment in pursuit of meaningful career contributions.
