PGSP researchers were recently awarded a National Science Foundation STTR grant in conjunction with Quimba Software to investigate how improvisation affects the performance of disaster managers in crisis situations (Award #IIP-0637999; "Towards Command Improvisation Support Systems for Disaster Managers"). Dr. Nina Zumel from Quimba is the project PI, and Dr. Larry Beutler from PGSP serves as co-PI. Zeno Franco, a fourth year PhD student was one of the lead authors for the grant, which supports his dissertation research. The command improvisation project uses a team-in-the-loop simulator to test groups of disaster managers on their ability to adapt and coordinate activities in turbulent environments.

PGSP is a private school founded in 1975 and located in Palo Alto, California that offers graduate degrees in psychology. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) has accredited all PGSP degrees, including the Distance Learning MS in Psychology. PGSP also offers a Ph.D. and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology. The American Psychological Association has accredited the Ph.D. program since 1988. However, APA does not accredit master's degrees. Therefore, it is not possible for PGSP to obtain APA accreditation for the Distance Learning Master's degree. The Distance Learning (DL) Master's degree has the maximum accreditation possible.

Pacific Graduate School of Psychology is a private, independent institution of higher education, located in Palo Alto, California. By offering graduate and undergraduate degrees in psychology, outstanding faculty and excellent research and clinical training opportunities students from around the world become prepared for a successful future in psychology.
