Since 2006, the psychology of science has become an established discipline. The year 2006 saw the first international conference, from which the International Society for the Psychology of Science and Technology was launched. The following year, the first peer-reviewed journal was started, the Journal of Psychology of Science and Technology. The society and journal are still relatively small and young. The question arises, where next? To survive and thrive, graduate training programs, federally funded grants, research centers, undergraduate and graduate courses, and degrees are needed. The society has been working on proposals for training grants and other graduate-student-oriented initiatives, such as awards and scholarships for the best research projects on the psychology of science. This chapter reviews the history of the field and describes some of the initiatives being undertaken to ensure its healthy maturation in the future.Less
