REU Site: Research Internships in Social, Developmental, Health, and Cognitive Neuroscience Psychology

这项建议在NAU心理学系内创建了一个社会、发展、健康和认知神经科学心理学(SDHCNP)综合领域的REU计划。它为8名美国原住民、西班牙裔、非裔美国人、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民/太平洋岛民学生提供直接的研究体验，包括第一代残疾大学生、女性和白人。每个学生都将在积极心理学系研究人员的指导下，在选定的专业领域进行研究。目标受众是独一无二的，而且有一个很好的方法来招聘，包括个人访问。积极关注专业发展、研究生院的申请、学生的方法。与其他建议不同的是，有一个评估控制小组的计划，这是一个好主意。讨论和解决的唯一问题是，这项研究并不像心理学研究中的一些前沿研究那样具有创新性，但在评论和讨论中，人们一致认为，它显然对学生有吸引力；智力上的优点确实是深思熟虑的；研究是强大和坚实的，由经验丰富、富有成效和激励人心的教员研究导师在个别教员实验室提供直接、密切监督、亲身实践的原创研究经验。

This proposal creates an REU program in the combined areas of Social, Developmental, Health, and Cognitive Neuroscience Psychology (SDHCNP) within the NAU Department of Psychology. It provides direct research experience for 8 Native American, Hispanic, African American, Native Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander students, including first generation college/university students who are disabled, female, and White Each student will conduct research in a selected specialty area under the guidance of active Psychology Department researchers. The target audience is unique, and there is a good approach to recruiting by including personal visits. Positive focus on professional development, grad school applications, methods for students. Different from other proposals, there is a plan to have a control group for the evaluation which is a good idea. The only concern discussed and resolved was that the research was not quite as innovative as some at the forefront in psychology research, but in the comments and discussion it was agreed on that it is clearly engaging for students; that the intellectual merits were really thoughtful; and the research is strong and solid with its direct, closely supervised, hands-on original research experiences in individual faculty laboratories provided by an experienced, productive, and stimulating faculty research mentor.
