DESCRIPTION: The basic approach to this project involves a multi leveled strategy to identify, recruit, support and train ethnic minority psychologists in aging research. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has offered minority dissertation fellowships for aging research that have been under subscribed for many years. The APA has implemented a minority aging research fellowship for four years. During that time, they have supported a total of 12 trainees, from an applicant pool of fewer than 40. They feel that there is a need to increase the number of young minority investigators in aging research. Therefore, they plan to concentrate their efforts on the field of psychology, where they have the greatest access, extensive networks and widest visibility and influence. The association plans to have a multi leveled approach that will focus on undergraduates who are seniors with good academic records, graduate students with an interest in aging research and junior faculty who have both experience and interest in aging research. They feel that the overall task is to expose young ethnic minority research psychologists who have potential to opportunities and interesting issues in adult development and aging research, and to support and nurture those more advanced persons in research opportunities and career possibilities. In brief, their plan is to 1) develop a focused summer experience at an ongoing gerontology center at the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) where students, doctoral trainees and new Ph.D.'s can come for specialized exposure to aging research issues; 2) develop electronic, print, telephone and small group networks of aging researchers and would-be researchers; and 3) establish a series of ongoing public meeting activities at national meetings of the APA and the Gerontological Society of America (GSA). They envision a total of 22 participants at various levels of the network (a total of 110 over the five years of requested support). They will recruit ten participants to attend a summer aging research workshop at the gerontology center at PSU. The association will provide travel awards to another 12 to attend either the APA or the GSA annual convention, where a series of programmed activities will be conducted in collaboration with Division 20 on Adult Development and Aging, APA's Committee on Aging, and the advisory committee for this project. This project will recruit potential participants from a wide network of colleagues and associates who have been involved with the minority fellowship program for over two decades.

描述：该项目的基本方法包括多层次的 识别、招募、支持和培训少数民族的战略 老龄化研究中的心理学家。国家老龄研究所(NIA)已经 为老龄化研究提供少数学位论文奖学金 多年来认购不足。《行政程序法》实施了少数人老龄化 四年的研究奖学金。在此期间，他们支持了一项 共有12名实习生，申请者不到40人。他们觉得 有必要增加年轻的少数族裔调查人员的数量 在老龄化研究中。因此，他们计划将精力集中在 心理领域，在那里他们有最大的渠道，广泛的网络 以及最广泛的知名度和影响力。该协会计划举办一项多项 统一的方法，将重点放在有良好成绩的大四学生身上 学术记录，对老龄化研究感兴趣的研究生和 对老龄化研究既有经验又有兴趣的初级教员。 他们觉得，总体任务是揭露年轻的少数民族研究 有潜力发现机遇和有趣问题的心理学家 成人发育和老龄化研究，并支持和培育更多 在研究机会和职业可能性方面处于领先地位的人。在……里面 简而言之，他们的计划是1)在一个持续的暑期活动中发展一种专注的夏季体验 宾夕法尼亚州立大学(PSU)老年学中心 学生、博士生和新博士生。S可以来专攻 接触老龄化研究问题；2)开发电子、印刷、电话 以及由老年研究人员和准研究人员组成的小团体网络；以及 3)在国家一级建立一系列正在进行的公开会议活动 APA和美国老年学会(GSA)的会议。他们 设想在网络的不同级别(A)总共有22名参与者 在请求支持的五年中，总共有110个项目)。他们将招募 十名参加者将参加在香港大学 巴黎州立大学的老年学中心。该协会将向以下人员提供旅游奖励 另有12人参加APA或GSA年度大会，其中 将与以下机构合作开展一系列规划活动 成人发展和老龄问题20分部，美国心理学会老龄委员会，以及 这个项目的顾问委员会。该项目将招聘 潜在参与者来自广泛的同事和同事网络，他们 已经参与了两年多的少数族裔奖学金计划 几十年。
