Research in training clinics and practice research networks: A route to the integration of science and practice

The present commentary encourages the development of research infrastructures within the training clinics of clinical psychology programs, the use of such infrastructures for creating a true integration of science and practice in the earliest days of graduate student education, and the formation of collaborative practice research networks among clinics and across other mental health agencies. Such developments may contribute to more rapid creation of ways of integrating science and practice and to methods for creating large-scale, scientifically rigorous, and clinically meaningful research to answer the most pressing questions that our profession faces.
