At UMMC, Dr. Sarver initiated and developed the Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) program in 2016 at the Center for Advancement of Youth, the first in the state. He is involved in multiple training programs from student to post-doctoral and postgraduate. Trainees under his mentorship have been awarded clinical, research, and training fellowships from NIH, SAMHSA, and NSF. He is the author or coauthor of over 63 peer-reviewed publications and chapters, a former NIH LRP awardee, and his work has been federally and nationally funded since 2017. He is on the editorial board of the journal Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology.
