Support for the 16th Annual Black Graduate Conference for Students in Psychology

这是一个支持会议的提议。这是一个少量的资金，以支持在心理学（BGCP）第16届黑人研究生年会的要求。自1995年以来，BGCP通过以下方式为650多名参与者的学术和职业发展做出了贡献：（1）通过为研究生提供支持性的氛围来提高他们的研究能力，以展示他们的研究并获得建设性的反馈;（2）为研究生提供交流策略和经验的机会，这将有助于他们在研究生院及以后茁壮成长;及（3）为心理学研究生提供一个与未来同事建立网络和发展合作关系的论坛。 拟议的活动旨在为非裔美国人心理学研究生的培训提供一种可持续的方法。 作为研究非裔美国人心理经历的少数场所之一，会议是该领域新思想的重要孵化器。这些新的思想不仅有利于非裔美国人的研究，而且也提高了整个心理学领域。会议的其他更广泛的影响包括其在以下方面的重要作用：（1）保留心理学研究生课程的非洲裔美国学生，以及（2）在顶级研究机构发展心理学家。

This is a proposal for support of a conference. It is a request for a small amount of funds to support the 16th Annual Black Graduate Conference in Psychology (BGCP). Since 1995, the BGCP has contributed to the scholarly and career development of over 650 participants by: (1) improving the research capabilities of graduate students by providing them with a supportive atmosphere in which to present their research and receive constructive feedback; (2) providing graduate students with an opportunity to exchange strategies and experiences that will help them to thrive in graduate school and beyond; and (3)providing a forum for graduate students in psychology to network and develop collaborative relationships with future colleagues. The activities proposed are designed to provide a sustained approach to the training of African American graduate students in psychology. As one of the few venues for examining the psychological experiences of African Americans, the conference serves as an important incubator for new ideas in the field. These new ideas not only benefit the study of African Americans, but also enhance the field of psychology as a whole. Additional broader impacts of the conference include its important role in: (1) retaining African American students in psychology graduate programs, and (2) developing psychologists at top-tier research institutions.
