Conducting a psychological research study often requires the use of advanced quantitative methods. Unfortunately, graduate students may not be able to obtain training in these advanced methods at their own universities due to a lack of course offerings, conflicting schedules, or other reasons. As such, summer workshops offer a great opportunity for graduate students to obtain training in advanced quantitative methods that would otherwise be unavailable to them. To aid graduate students in finding these training opportunities, we have identified a number of workshops on research methods and statistical techniques being offered in the United States this summer.

Advanced quantitative training can also be obtained through APA’s Advanced Training Institutes (ATIs). APA provides some funding for many of the graduate students who attend. The application deadlines for all but one of the 2012 ATIs have already passed (applications are still being accepted for Exploratory Data Mining in Behavioral Research), but keep an eye out for next year

Stephen Mistler is the psychological methods representative on the APA Science Student Council. He is a doctoral student in the quantitative psychology program at Arizona State University. His research is focused on methods for applying multiple imputation to multilevel data sets.
