Clinical Psychology Doctoral Student Kendall Smith receives NSF GRFP
_{[April, 10, 2024]}

Clinical Psychology doctoral student Kendall Smith has earned acceptance into the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). Her advisor is Dr. Edelyn Verona. The NSF GRFP helps ensure the quality, vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States.

The GRFP provides three years of support over a five-year fellowship period for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant research achievements in STEM or STEM education With the support of the NSF GRFP, Kendall intends to conduct research involved in externalizing behaviors, psychological intersections with the criminal legal system, bias, and improving equity for marginalized populations. Her proposed research involves exploring measurement of the externalizing construct within system involved populations. Specifically, she plans to assess if certain behavioral indicators of externalizing vary in the extent to which they reflect trait liabilities to externalizing across persons exposed to sociodemographic, environmental, and systemic disadvantages to address potential measurement issues and structural biases that may be inherent in how we currently measure the construct.
