The Society of Addiction Psychology (SoAP) welcomes its Student and Early Career Psychologist (ECPs) members! We present the following resources as information you may find useful. Be sure to check back at this page, at we will be making regular updates with more content specific to the needs of our students and ECPs.
PhD and PsyD Faculty Addiction Researchers
This list of faculty conducting research in addiction psychology and related fields is designed to aid individuals applying to graduate school. Prospective students are encouraged to visit faculty websites (included in the list) to determine whether faculty are accepting students and whether they are a good fit for their interests and experiences. We have also included a separate list of Master’s programs designed to prepare students for doctoral programs. Faculty who wish to be added to the list or make changes to their listing can contact Corey Monley at cmonley@albany.edu
Pre-Doctoral Internships with Addiction Training
SoAP developed a list of APA-Accredited pre-doctoral internships and a list of non-APA Accredited pre-doctoral internships that include addiction training. The tables include information about what kinds of addictions training, supervision, and research are offered at each site. We hope this is helpful to students applying to internships in the near future.
Credentialing Scholarships
For individuals planning to be clinicians, credentialing scholarships are available to cover application fees. Estimates suggest these fees can be $400 or more, with additional fees to them cover maintenance of the credentials. The National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology, in conjunction with American Psychological Association of Graduate Students (APAGS), is pleased to announce an award for doctoral students in psychology interested in becoming credentialed by the National Register through its student program, the National Psychologist Trainee Register (NPTR).
