Prevention and Methodology Training Program

The Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Center is the home of Penn State’s Prevention and Methodology Training (PAMT) Program, a 2-year training program funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse that cross-trains postdoctoral researchers as prevention scientists and methodologists. Prevention scientists are trained to apply cutting-edge methods to emerging critical research needs in the prevention of substance use and addiction.

This program presents a unique opportunity for postdoctoral researchers who wish to establish a research career focused on substance use to receive two years of training from some of the top prevention scientists and methodologists in the country.

Applications for postdoctoral scholars are accepted each fall. If you have questions about the application process, please visit the PAMT website or email Carol Masullo at cam83@psu.edu.
