Description

The School Mental Health Assessment, Research & Training (SMART) Center is a transdisciplinary collaboration between faculty in the College of Education, School of Medicine (Dept. Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences), and School of Social Work. Through this collaboration, SMART facilitates more equitable, effective and integrated approaches to research and technical assistance in design and implementation of evidence-based social, emotional, and behavioral interventions. We’re dedicated to the university’s teaching mission and have created a robust Program to provide students with regular seminars and hands-on activities that directly contribute to our research projects.
