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：该项目的基本方法涉及多层次 确定、征聘、支助和培训少数族裔战略 心理学家在衰老研究中的作用 国家老龄化研究所（NIA） 为老龄化研究提供少数民族论文奖学金， 多年来，订阅。 阿帕已经实施了少数老龄化 四年研究金。 在此期间，他们支持了一个 从不到40名申请人中挑选了12名受训人员。 他们觉得 有必要增加年轻的少数民族调查人员的数量， 在衰老研究中。 因此，他们计划集中力量， 在心理学领域，他们有最大的机会，广泛的网络 最广泛的知名度和影响力。 该协会计划有一个多 一种分层的方法，将重点放在本科生谁是老年人与良好的 学术记录，对老龄化研究感兴趣的研究生， 对老龄化研究既有经验又有兴趣的初级教员。 他们觉得总的任务是揭露少数民族青年的研究 心理学家谁有潜力的机会和有趣的问题， 成人发展和老龄化研究，并支持和培养那些更多 在研究机会和职业机会方面的先进人员。 在 简而言之，他们的计划是：1）在一个持续的 宾夕法尼亚州立大学（PSU）的老年学中心， 学生，博士生和新博士。的可以来专门 接触老化研究问题; 2）开发电子，印刷，电话 以及老龄化研究人员和未来研究人员的小组网络; 3)在国家一级建立一系列持续的公开会议活动， 阿帕和美国老年学会（GSA）的会议。 他们 设想共有22个参与者在不同级别的网络（a 在要求提供支助的五年期间，共收到110份支助申请）。 他们会招募 十名参加者将出席在香港浸会大学 老年医学中心 该协会将提供旅行奖励， 另外12人参加阿帕或GSA年度大会， 一系列已列入方案的活动将与下列机构合作进行： 阿帕心理学会老龄问题委员会成人发展和老龄问题20部， 该项目的咨询委员会。 该项目将招募 来自广泛的同事和同事网络的潜在参与者， 参与少数民族奖学金项目已经两年多了， 几十年
