This new M-RISP application builds on the existing momentum of productive newer mental health researchers/faculty members in the Department of Psychology at an Hispanic Serving Institution, California State University, Northridge (CSUN). This M-RISP award would facilitate the research careers of current newer faculty and attract qualified faculty of color to our department, which currently does not represent our 53% minority student population. CSUN's location is unique in the quality of research opportunities available in an ethnically diverse, highly populous urban region. The university strives to support research productivity by providing funding and equipment, but recent cutbacks have meant fewer research resources. This MRISP award would provide enrichment opportunities for developing projects and faculty that would complement the existing strengths of the Department. The projects proposed here represent crucial areas of mental health research -- culturally sensitive norms for neurological tests (Razani), social perception of schizophrenics (Sergi), adjustment and educational expectations in low income Latinos (Saetermoe), social psychology and mental health issues in academic adjustment (Grant/Quilici), and adjustment and engagement of elders in computer-based activities (Lagana). By providing reassigned time, payment for participants, clerical services, travel funds, equipment funds, and, most importantly, educational opportunities, this program proposes to provide developing faculty members with the resources they need to conduct state-of-the-art research and to disseminate findings while moving toward non-developmentally funded research. The educational component of this M-RISP grant includes seminars and workshops in quantitative statistics and methodology (e.g., structural equation modeling, project-specific workshops), qualitative methods and analysis (e.g., interviewing, qualitative interpretation), accompanied by weekly colloquia and workshops including faculty and student presentations of their own research, guest speakers, library informational workshops, data base workshops, and a variety of other enrichment activities. Our goals include the development of a research center (The Center for the Psychological Study of Urban Diversity) dedicated to the creation of a community of well-trained scholars who are committed to mentoring faculty and students of color and who are working toward improving the mental health of all people.

这一新的M-RISP应用程序建立在高效更新的心理健康现有势头的基础上 加州州立大学北岭分校(CSUN)西班牙裔服务机构心理学系的研究人员/教职员工。这项M-RISP奖将促进现有新教师的研究生涯，并吸引合格的有色系教师到我们系，目前我们系不代表我们53%的少数族裔学生。CSUN的地理位置是独一无二的，因为在一个种族多元化、人口稠密的城市地区，可以获得研究机会的质量。该大学努力通过提供资金和设备来支持研究生产率，但最近的削减意味着研究资源的减少。这是一个MRISP 该奖项将为发展项目和教师提供丰富的机会， 补充该部现有的优势。这里提出的项目代表了心理健康研究的关键领域--神经测试的文化敏感规范(Razani)、精神分裂症患者的社会认知(SERGI)、低收入拉丁裔人的适应和教育期望(Saetermoe)、学业适应中的社会心理学和心理健康问题(Grant/Quilici)，以及老年人对计算机活动的适应和参与(Lagana)。通过提供重新分配的时间、参与者的报酬、办事员服务、旅行基金、设备基金，以及最重要的教育机会，该计划建议为发展中的教员提供他们进行最先进研究和传播研究成果所需的资源，同时转向非发展性研究。 资助研究。这笔M-RISP赠款的教育部分包括关于定量统计和方法的研讨会和讲习班(例如，结构方程建模、具体项目讲习班)、定性方法和分析(例如，访谈、定性解释)，同时每周举行座谈会和讲习班，包括教职员工和学生介绍他们自己的研究、客座演讲者、图书馆信息讲习班、数据库讲习班，以及各种其他充实活动。我们的目标包括发展一个研究中心(城市多样性心理学研究中心)，致力于创建一个由训练有素的学者组成的社区，他们致力于指导教师 以及有色人种的学生，他们正在努力改善所有人的心理健康。
