For Students

Research improves services and treatments for current and future generations. It helps develop new tests for diagnosis, treatments, and processes to ensure and maintain good health. Being involved in research is empowering as you are taking an active role in yours and other's health care.

Be a part of cutting-edge research

Our principal investigators, Dr. Colin Depp and Dr. Raeanne Moore, are investigating cutting-edge research. Our current work seeks to utilize mobile technology to assess and facilitate individuals with various mental health conditions. We are interested in people's accuracy of their own abilities, intricacies of social networks, help-seeking in crisis and suicide prevention. Our studies focus on adult populations experiencing varying degrees of mental health differences from depression to schizophrenia. 

Undergraduate Students

With supervision from our Project Coordinators there are many benefits to being a research assistant in our lab, for example:
