NIMH/M-RISP: ADVANCING RESEARCH IN PUERTO RICO

这项竞争性的续签申请要求继续支持波多黎各大学里约热内卢校区的NIMH M-RISP计划(UPR-RP)。该计划的资助期限为最初的三年(92年至1995年)和整个五年周期(95年至2000年)，包括五个个人研究项目和一个基础设施核心。在这项申请中，提出了四个单独的项目和一个机构核心来继续开发这一方案。M-RISP项目的总体目标是促进UPR-RP在心理健康和艾滋病方面的高质量和严谨研究的发展。我们期望通过以下方式实现这一目标：(1)让教师参与试点工作，从而获得关于精神健康和艾滋病毒/艾滋病(MHA)问题的竞争性研究拨款，特别是干预措施和结果研究；(2)增加研究生和本科生对MHA研究的参与；(3)支持参与MHA研究的教师的研究开发活动；以及(4)加强和加强进行MHA研究的机构基础设施。该计划的基本原理是需要开发一个平行的支持结构，以便由少数族裔院校的少数族裔教师开展独立的MHA研究。拟议的计划旨在通过基于个人的教师研究活动计划、教师和学生发展活动计划、方法统计核心和研究资源中心来支持研究基础设施的发展。第二部分涉及各个学院的研究项目。提出了四个IIRP，有六名教职员工参与。12涉及项目领导和评估，以支持研究和研究开发活动。该计划的一个独特特点是将现有的机构资源组织在一个明确、连贯和综合的职业发展计划中，以支持MHA研究。从项目开始的那一刻起，教职员工就参与了他们的研究，并参与了一个发展的个性化计划，该计划支持教职员工循序渐进地朝着产生具有竞争力的研究提案的目标前进。本科生的参与和为学生提供的MHA研究机会。来自UPR-RP(心理学、社会学和教育学)、UPR-医学校园和UPR-Mayaguez校园的22名教职员工和12名博士生将参加拟议的MRISP。

This competing renewal application is requesting continued support for the NIMH M-RISP Program at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedra Campus (UPR-RP). The program was funded for an initial three year period (92-95) and alter for a full five year cycle (95-00) with fie individuals research projects and an infrastructure core. In this application four individual projects and an institutional core are proposed to continue developing this program. The general objective of the M-RISP 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 by (1) involving faculty members in conducting pilot work leading to a competitive research grant on mental health and HIV/AIDS (MHA) problems, especially interventions and 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 to conduct 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 support research infrastructure development through individually based plans of faculty research activities, faculty and student development activities, a methodological statistical core, and a Research Resource Center. The second component entails Individual Faculty Research Projects. Four IIRPs are proposed with six participating faculty members. Twelve 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 opportunities offered to students in MHA research. Twenty-two faculty members and twelve doctoral students from UPR-RP (Psychology, Sociology, and Education), UPR-Medical Sciences Campus, and the UPR-Mayaguez Campus will participate in the proposed MRISP.
