This renewal application requests continued support for the NIMH MIRDP Program at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus (UPR-RP). During the initial grant period , two individual research projects and an Institutional Core in support of research development were funded. For this competing renewal we are proposing an expansion of the institutional core. Five individual investigator research projects (IIRP) are proposed as part of this program. The general objective of our MIRDP program is to advance the growth of high quality and rigorous research on mental health and AIDS at the UPR-RP. We expect to accomplish this aim through: (l) Involving faculty members in conducting pilot work leading to a competitive research grant on mental health and HIV-AIDS (MHA) problems, specially evaluation and treatment outcome research. (2) increasing the participation of graduate and undergraduate students in MHA research. (3) Supporting research development activities for faculty involved in MHA research, and (4) Enhancing and strengthening the institutional infrastructure for conducting MHA research. The rationale for the program is based on the need to develop a parallel structure of support to carry out independent MHA research by minority faculty at a minority institution. The proposed program for faculty research development at UPR- RP consists of three components. The first component is an Institutional Core to support research infrastructure development through individually based plans of faculty research activities, faculty and student development activities, a methodological statistical core and a UPR-RP MIRDP Research Resource Center. The second component entails individual Faculty Research Projects. Five lIRPs are proposed with six participating faculty members. Twelve participants (ten affiliated faculty and two doctoral students will be involved in MHA pilot research. The third component involves Program Leadership and Evaluation in support of research and research development activities. A unique feature of the program is the organization of current institutional resources in a clear, coherent, and integrated plan of career development in support for MHA research. Faculty members are involved in carrying out their research from the moment the program begins and participate in a developmental individualized plan that supports the faculty member in a step by step approach toward the objective of producing a competitive research proposal. The participation of undergraduate and graduate students in the development of faculty research is another aspect of the program aimed at increasing the training opportunities offered to students in MHA research. Sixteen faculty' members and two doctoral students from graduate programs at the College of Social Science (Psychology, Sociology, Social Work) and the College of Education (Department of Graduate Studies) will participate in the proposed MIRDP.

此更新申请要求继续支持NIMH MIRDP 课程在波多黎各大学，里约Piedras校园（UPR-RP）。 在最初的补助金期间，两个个人研究项目和一个 为支持研究发展的机构核心提供了资金。为 这一竞争性的更新，我们建议扩大机构， 核心提出了五个个人研究者研究项目（IIRP） 作为这个项目的一部分。我们MIRDP计划的总体目标是 促进高质量和严格的心理健康研究的增长 和艾滋病问题。我们期望透过以下途径达致这个目标：（l） 让教员参与进行试点工作， 关于心理健康和艾滋病毒/艾滋病问题的竞争性研究补助金， 特别是评估和治疗结果研究。(2)增加 研究生和本科生参与MHA研究。（三） 支持参与MHA的教师的研究开发活动 （4）加强和改进体制 进行MHA研究的基础设施。该计划的基本原理 是基于需要发展一个平行的支持结构， 少数民族教师在少数民族大学进行的独立MHA研究 机构。UPR教师研究发展的拟议计划- RP由三个部分组成。第一个组成部分是机构 通过单独的研究支持研究基础设施的发展 基于教师研究活动，教师和学生的计划 发展活动、方法统计核心和普遍定期审议 MIRDP研究资源中心。第二部分是个人 学院研究项目。提出了五个IRP，其中六个参与 教职员工。12名参与者（10名附属教师和2名 博士生将参与MHA试点研究。第三 该部分涉及项目领导和评估，以支持 研究和研究开发活动。的独特特征 方案是将现有的机构资源组织在一个明确的， 为支持MHA制定连贯、综合的职业发展计划 research.教师参与开展他们的研究， 在项目开始的那一刻， 个性化的计划，支持教师在一步一步 实现研究成果竞争力目标的途径 提议本科生和研究生参与 教师研究的发展是该计划的另一个方面，旨在 增加为MHA研究学生提供的培训机会。 16名教职员工和2名研究生项目的博士生 在社会科学学院（心理学，社会学，社会工作）和 教育学院（研究生部）将参加 在拟议中的MIRDP。
