Hunter College COR Program

描述（由申请人提供）：亨特学院建议继续我们的传统，在心理健康相关研究的不同领域培训来自代表性不足的人群的学生。我们建议扩大我们24岁的计划的目标和成功，该计划产生了杰出的COR学者，其中约26人继续获得博士学位，2名获得医学博士学位，24名硕士学位，目前有40多名博士注册。自1981年以来，55 - 60%的亨特COR学生已在一些最好的大学在该国的研究生课程就读。值得注意的是，自1999年我们最后一次竞争性申请以来，我们100%的毕业生都申请了研究生院，90%的学生参加了心理健康相关领域的博士课程。我们计划的目标是将研究的不同方面的培训，包括实验设计，数据采集，统计数据处理以及原始研究的书面和口头陈述能力的发展。这些目标是通过为COR学者开发的课程，亨特和其他邻近机构的研究实习，纽约市以外的夏季研究实习，每周一次的研讨会，邀请演讲者与各种技术（包括统计分析，写作技巧和计算）的强化培训相结合，以及单独的科学写作课程来实现的。这些活动将继续、扩大和改进。在此资助期间，提出了4项发展活动：（1）制定干预措施，以增加学生在研究生课程中的保留;（2）将COR学生的数量从9增加到10;（3）制定一项新的举措，以获得前学生对我们计划的评价;以及（4）进一步更新我们的前COR受训人员数据库。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hunter College proposes to continue our tradition of training students from underrepresented populations in different areas of mental health-related research. We propose to expand the objectives and success of our 24- year-old program, which has produced outstanding COR scholars, approximately 26 of whom went on to obtain their PhD, 2 earned MDs, 24 MA, and over 40 are currently registered in Ph.D. Since 1981, 55 60% of Hunter COR students have been enrolled in graduate programs at some of the best universities in the country. Notably, since our last competitive application in 1999, 100% of our graduating students have applied to graduate school, and 90% have enrolled in a PhD program in a mental health-related area. The goals of our program are to incorporate training in different aspects of research including the development of competence in experimental design, data acquisition, statistical data processing, and written and oral presentation of original research. These objectives are accomplished through a course developed for the COR scholars, research placement both within Hunter and at other neighbor institutions, summer research placements outside of New York City, a weekly seminar combining talks by invited speakers with intensive training in a variety of techniques (including statistical analysis, writing skills, and computations), and a separate scientific writing course. These activities will be continued, expanded, and improved. During this funding period, 4 developmental activities are proposed: (1) to develop an intervention initiative to increase the retention of students in graduate programs; (2) to increase the number of COR students from 9 to 10; (3) to develop a new initiative to obtain evaluation of our program by former students; and (4) to further update our database of former COR trainees.
