Overview
Learning how to do great science requires a toolbox. This toolbox contains tools for effectively communicating ideas and scholarly findings. For making time to produce scholarship. For securing funding for scholarly work. For identifying where and when scholarly job opportunities arise. For getting the offers to start a job and building the record to keep that job. No one takes a class to acquire this toolbox, who has the time? Yet, we still need these tools, so where do we find them? We launched the Future Directions Forum to help you build your scientific toolbox. At the Forum, we offer professional development workshops on all aspects of academic work.
Learning new skills only gets you so far. You need a space to showcase those skills and what you have to offer. Thus, a key element of the Forum is that it raises the public awareness of its attendees. Since our first Forum in 2017, our presentations have been rendered in an all-digital environment. Within this environment, attendees have the opportunity to present their research and interact with other attendees, and we leverage widely used online platforms to enhance the visibility of all this work.
In keeping with our focus on the future of science, we also dedicate time to learning about innovative areas of mental health research, based on featured content from the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (JCCAP). In 2021, JCCAP publishes its 50th volume, and so to commemorate this important milestone in the journal’s history, former editors of JCCAP will deliver addresses on the future directions of work in their areas of expertise.
