DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This resubmission of a M-RISP grant application aims to develop the mental health disparities research capability of faculty in the Departments of Psychology and Human Development at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). Situated in a highly diverse ethnic metropolitan region, CSULB has abundant opportunities and needs for research relevant to understanding and reducing health disparities in populations with different cultural backgrounds. An M-RISP award would provide opportunities for faculty development in research that would complement the existing strengths and reinforce the momentum of research productivity by faculty. Our M-RISP fosters individualized plans for training participants with the long range objective of producing competitive research applications for extramural funding. It would (1) involve faculty members in conducting pilot work that would lead to a competitive research grant on mental health disparities; (2) increase graduate and undergraduate student research participation, (3) provide research development activities for faculty; and (4) strengthen the institutional infrastructure for mental health research. Our M-RISP would provide reassigned time for participants that would be matched by the College of Liberal Arts and the Department of Psychology, payment for participants, clerical services, travel funds, equipment funds, and state of the art research skill training for faculty development that will enable them to conduct high quality research. Participants would receive seminars and workshops in quantitative research methods and analysis (e.g., web-based survey, daily diary method, structural equation modeling), as well as qualitative research methods and analysis (e.g., interviewing, qualitative interpretation), accompanied by bi-weekly colloquia including faculty and student presentations of their own research and guest speakers and a variety of other enrichment activities. Our M-RISP activities will be closely coordinated with an existing Career Opportunities in Research (COR) program funded by NIMH at CSULB since 1981 to mentor minority undergraduates toward doctoral studies. The three projects proposed here represent crucial areas of mental health research - 1) acculturation, stress and coping among Korean immigrants; 2) sibling influences on coping in families with a child with Type 2 diabetes; 3) cultural factors related to disclosure by rape victims, and its effect on mental health. The award would be timely because recent fiscal cutbacks by the State of California have reduced University resources for research even though the University has shown that it values and rewards research productivity.

描述（由申请人提供）：本次重新提交的M-RISP拨款申请旨在发展加州州立大学长滩分校（CSULB）心理与人类发展系教师的心理健康差异研究能力。CSULB位于一个高度多元化的民族大都市地区，有大量的机会和需求进行与了解和减少不同文化背景人群的健康差异有关的研究。M-RISP奖励将为教师在研究方面的发展提供机会，这将补充现有的优势，并加强教师研究生产力的势头。我们的M-RISP为培训参与者制定了个性化的计划，其长期目标是为校外资金提供有竞争力的研究应用。它将(1)让教师参与开展试点工作，从而获得有关心理健康差异的竞争性研究资助；(2)增加研究生和本科生的研究参与；(3)为教师提供研究开发活动；(4)加强心理健康研究的制度基础设施。我们的M-RISP将为参与者提供重新分配的时间，这些时间将与文理学院和心理学系相匹配，为参与者支付费用，文书服务，旅行资金，设备资金，以及为教师发展提供最先进的研究技能培训，使他们能够进行高质量的研究。参与者将参加定量研究方法和分析（如网络调查、每日日记法、结构方程建模）以及定性研究方法和分析（如访谈、定性解释）方面的研讨会和讲习班，并参加每两周一次的座谈会，包括教师和学生自己的研究报告和嘉宾演讲，以及各种其他丰富活动。我们的M-RISP活动将与现有的研究职业机会（COR）计划密切协调，该计划自1981年以来由CSULB的NIMH资助，旨在指导少数民族本科生攻读博士学位。这里提出的三个项目代表了心理健康研究的关键领域：1)韩国移民的文化适应、压力和应对；2)兄弟姐妹对2型糖尿病患儿家庭应对的影响；3)文化因素对强奸受害者心理健康的影响。这个奖励是及时的，因为加州最近的财政削减减少了大学的研究资源，尽管加州大学已经表明它重视并奖励研究生产力。
