This dual emphasis on measurement science and real-world application defines his scholarly impact.
Dr. Santor actively mentors six doctoral students and three honors students annually, inviting new volunteers through his lab website (darcyasantor.ca). While specific grants aren't detailed, his extensive publication record indicates sustained research funding for school mental health initiatives and violence prevention.
