Hampton Collaborative Research Training Model

描述(由申请者提供)：NIMH职业机会计划的主要目标是加强心理健康研究的培训和经验，为从事心理健康研究职业的不同人群提供培训和经验。为了实现这一目标，汉普顿大学，一所历史悠久的黑人大学，提交了这一行为科学合作研究培训模式。汉普顿合作研究培训模式是围绕一些研究计划组织的，每个研究计划都与全国主要机构的卫星研究设施在概念上相关。组成该计划的所有研究和教育实体之间的密切合作，包括汉普顿的研究项目、东弗吉尼亚医学院(EVMS)和老道明大学(ODU)的教员、用于暑期实习的卫星研究设施以及COR学者教育课程，将确保培养出具有博士或医学学位课程竞争力的学生所需的能力和技能的发展和整合。我们计划的基石是所有COR学者在学年期间积极参与正在进行的研究项目，并在全国主要大学与国家公认的研究人员进行暑期实习。学者每周将参与12小时的研究，尽可能多地涉及研究过程的方方面面：文献研究和综述、研究项目的发展、数据收集、分析和研究报告的撰写。在课程的两年中，学生还将在会议演讲和出版物的开发方面得到指导。心理学和社会学的现有课程将增加18个学期的心理健康研究高级培训，参加包括方法学和统计学在内的研究研讨会，生物心理学课程，以及与汉普顿、EVMS和ODU为基础的和卫星研究指导人员的密集研究监督和指导。参与者将是在心理学或社会学方面完成了整整两年的本科生，平均绩点为3.3或更高(4.1分)，和/或通过他们的学术工作证明他们可以成功地攻读和完成行为科学研究的高级学位。目前，汉普顿大学的其他教职员工正在准备提交一份M-RISP赠款，以进一步推动社会科学教师发展的努力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of the NIMH Career Opportunities program is to strengthen mental health research training and experiences for a diverse population of individuals who will engage in careers in mental health research. In order to meet this goal, Hampton University, a Historically Black University, is submitting this Collaborative Research Training Model for the behavioral sciences. The Hampton Collaborative Research Training Model is organized around a number of research programs that each are associated with conceptually related satellite research facilities at major institutions across the nation. Close collaboration among all research and educational entities that make up this program including the Hampton based research projects, faculty at the Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) and Old Dominion University (ODU), the satellite research facilities for summer placements, as well as the COR Scholar educational curriculum will ensure the development and integration of the competencies and skills required to produce students that are competitive for Ph. D. or M. D. degree programs. The cornerstone of our program is the active participation of all of the COR Scholars during the academic year in on-going research projects and summer placements with nationally recognized researchers at major universities across the nation. Scholars will participate in twelve hours of research each week that will involve as many aspects of the research process as feasible: literature research and reviews, development of research projects, data collection, analysis, and research report writing. Students will also be mentored in the development of conference presentations and publications during their two years in the program. The existing curriculum for Psychology and Sociology will be augmented by 18 semester hours of advanced training in mental health research, participation in research seminars including methodology and statistics, a course in biopsychology, and the intense research supervision and mentoring with Hampton, EVMS, and ODU based and satellite research preceptors. Participants will be undergraduates who have completed two full years in psychology or sociology with a GPA of 3.3 or better (4.1 scale) and/or give evidence through their academic work that they can successfully pursue and complete advanced degrees in behavioral science research. At this time other Hampton University faculty are preparing for submission a M-RISP grant to further the efforts in faculty development in the social sciences.
