The CNDL lab anticipates accepting applications for Fall 2025 admissions as part of the clinical neuropsychology major area of study in UH’s clinical psychology doctoral program. Applications are due in late Fall 2024. We expect to welcome at least one new student into the lab for Fall 2025.

• Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Professor Woods (spwoods@uh.edu) in advance of submitting a formal application to the program.
• CNDL is committed to conducting research that benefits people from disadvantaged and under-represented communities, including those with HIV disease, older adults and those from underserved ethnoracial backgrounds. We have several recent research initiatives that align with those goals, specifically focused on improving the brain health of Black Americans. In addition, the laboratory values the contributions of students and research assistants from underrepresented ethoracial groups and is committed to increasing the diversity of the next generation of clinical neuropsychologists in science and practice.

Professor Woods welcomes student involvement in nearly all facets of his research, teaching and professional service activities. He works with students to develop individualized, flexible career development plans that complement the rigorous curriculum of UH’s undergraduate and graduate psychology degree programs. CNDL puts a particular premium on professional development and student involvement in scholarship (e.g., scientific presentations, publications and grantsmanship). The navigation tab to the left provides details regarding the accomplishments of the lab’s prior trainees. Note that prior experience in HIV disease, memory or technology-based research is NOT necessary.
