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.

这个新的M-RISP应用程序建立在现有的生产较新的心理健康的势头的基础上 加利福尼亚州立大学西班牙裔服务机构的心理学系的研究人员/教职员工，诺斯里奇（CSUN）。该M-RISP奖将促进当前较新的教师的研究职业，并吸引合格的有色学院，这目前不代表我们53％的少数族裔学生人数。 CSUN的位置在种族多样化，人口众多的城市地区可用的研究机会质量方面是独一无二的。该大学努力通过提供资金和设备来支持研究生产力，但最近的削减意味着更少的研究资源。这个MRISP 奖项将为开发项目和教师提供丰富的机会 补充该部门的现有优势。 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).通过提供重新签名的时间，参与者的付款，文书服务，旅行基金，设备资金以及最重要的是教育机会，该计划建议为发展中的教职员工提供进行最先进的研究所需的资源 资助研究。该M-RISP赠款的教育组成部分包括定量统计和方法论的研讨会和研讨会（例如，结构方程建模，特定于项目的研讨会），定性方法和分析（例如，访谈，定性解释），包括每周一次的colloquia and Complity tocult tocult tocult and Inders corkeption and corkes topers corksport and corkes corksport and corke topers exectorps off topription and corke secultshopp exectoppe exectopp其他各种充实活动。我们的目标包括发展研究中心（城市多样性心理学研究中心），致力于建立一个致力于指导教师的训练有素的学者社区 和有色人种的学生，他们正在努力改善所有人的心理健康。
