The mission of the DAP lab is to conduct research that can help foster healthy development in children and families from diverse sociodemographic backgrounds. Guided by the notion that development is best informed by studying pathways that lead to both adaptation and maladaptation, our research examines risk and protective processes in typically- and atypically-developing youth and their families using a theoretically-driven, multi-level, multi-method assessment (physiological, behavioral, neurological, ecological momentary assessment) approach. Research at the DAP Lab has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, The Owens Institute of Behavioral Research, The Clinical & Translational Research Unit at the University of Georgia, and the University of Georgia Research Foundation. **Dr. Suveg will not be reviewing external applications for fall 2025 admissions.
