NIMH/M-RISP: ADVANCING RESEARCH IN PUERTO RICO

这项竞争性的更新申请要求继续支持波多黎各大学皮德拉校区（UPR-RP）的NIMH M-RISP计划。该项目最初资助三年（1992 - 1995年），然后改为五年（1995 - 1995年），由五个个人研究项目和一个基础设施核心项目组成。在这个申请中，四个单独的项目和一个机构核心被提议继续发展这个项目。M-RISP方案的总体目标是促进高质量和严谨的心理健康和艾滋病研究在UPR-RP的发展。我们希望通过以下方式实现这一目标：(1)让教师参与开展试点工作，从而获得有关心理健康和艾滋病毒/艾滋病（MHA）问题的竞争性研究资助，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；(4)改善和加强进行卫生保健研究的制度基础设施。该计划的基本原理是基于需要开发一个平行的支持结构，以支持少数民族学院的少数民族教师进行独立的MHA研究。提议的计划通过教师研究活动、教师和学生发展活动、方法论统计核心和研究资源中心的个人计划来支持研究基础设施的发展。第二个组成部分是教员个人研究项目。拟定4个iirp， 6名教员参与。12个涉及支持研究和研究开发活动的项目领导和评估。该计划的一个独特之处在于将当前的机构资源组织在一个清晰、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，教师就参与到他们的研究中来，并参与到一个个性化的发展计划中来，该计划支持教师一步一步地朝着产生有竞争力的研究计划的目标迈进。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），upr -医学科学校区和upr -马亚圭斯校区的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.
