DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Psychological Association (APA) - Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) in Psychology is a national program designed to increase the numbers of underrepresented ethnic minority groups conducting mental health-related and health disparity oriented research of interest to NIMH. As an extension of our training role, we have implemented an MFP Psychology Summer Institute (MFP-PSI) to promote the professional development of our trainees in preparation for successful research careers. The aims of this summer training program are to (1) provide educational and mentoring experiences to promising graduate students and doctoral-level professionals at early-career stages that will advance them in the development of tangible projects, (2) provide opportunities to network at various levels with NIMH and other federal agency representatives, as well as with leading mental health researchers from across the country, (3) facilitate the career development of participants through technical training, exposure to research and treatment models, and counsel from advanced mental health research professionals, and (4) foster cross-fertilization of ideas between those primarily involved in research and those primarily involved in service delivery. These aims will be accomplished through a 4-day training institute to be held in Washington, DC at which participants are exposed to topical and methodological lectures by leading researchers in the field, information about the array of research funded by NIMH and other federal agencies, and technical assistance in developing existing research projects and written manuscripts which included peer mentoring, and high-level individual mentoring from leading psychologists. We will conduct an evaluation comprised of an immediate, post-institute survey along with a 6-month and 12-month follow-up on-line survey. Our evaluation will be both formative and outcome based. Key outcomes tracked will include evidence of increased publication and grant production activity, as well as career advancement.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国心理学会(APA) -心理学少数民族奖学金计划（MFP）是一项国家计划，旨在增加未被充分代表的少数民族群体的数量，这些群体进行NIMH感兴趣的心理健康和健康差异导向的研究。作为我们培训角色的延伸，我们已经实施了MFP心理学暑期学院（MFP- psi），以促进我们的学员的专业发展，为成功的研究事业做准备。这个暑期培训项目的目的是：(1)为有前途的研究生和博士级专业人员提供教育和指导经验，在职业生涯早期阶段，这将促进他们在实际项目的发展；(2)提供机会，在不同层次上与NIMH和其他联邦机构代表以及来自全国各地的领先心理健康研究人员建立联系。(3)通过技术培训、接触研究和治疗模式以及来自高级心理健康研究专业人员的咨询，促进参与者的职业发展；(4)促进主要参与研究的人员和主要参与提供服务的人员之间的思想交流。这些目标将通过在华盛顿特区举行的为期4天的培训机构来实现，参与者将接触到该领域领先研究人员的主题和方法讲座，NIMH和其他联邦机构资助的一系列研究的信息，以及在发展现有研究项目和书面手稿方面的技术援助，包括同伴指导，以及来自领先心理学家的高水平个人指导。我们将进行评估，包括一个即时的，研究所后的调查，以及一个6个月和12个月的后续在线调查。我们的评估将是形成性的，也是基于结果的。跟踪的主要结果将包括出版和资助生产活动增加的证据，以及职业发展。
