Summary

Funding for research and research training in school psychology has been an issue at the international level.  A Roundtable is proposed to bring together representatives of ISPA's Research Committee (a standing committee), the Research Working Group (a Task Force with a designated life span), and the Society for the Study of School Psychology's (SSSP) International Initiatives Committee (a joint SSSP/ISPA committee, which has funded grants to researchers outside of the United States); Shane Jimerson (representing the ISPA Research Committee), Olympia Palikara (represented the ISPA Research Working Group) and Sylvia Rosenfield (representing the SSSP Committee) will present brief statements about their groups' work and history of contributions to international school psychology.  After these brief statements, the major portion of time will be devoted to participants and presenters discussing how school psychology researchers could be better trained and supported at the international level.
