REU Site: Psychology as an Applied Science: Research Experience for Undergraduates at Baruch College - CUNY

该奖项为纽约城市大学巴鲁克学院心理学REU网站提供资金。16名就读于纽约市大学的学生将作为有偿研究助理参加该网站，为期3个12周的学期。REU的本科生将加入现有的研究团队，并为应用心理学和基础心理学领域正在进行的实证研究项目做出贡献。学生还将在研究科学家的直接指导下提出并完成自己的项目。REU项目本身将是一个研究教育的实验，用结果数据进行评估。该计划将：(1)为学生在科学心理学方面的高级研究生培训做好准备，并最终为学术和应用环境中的职业生涯做好准备；(2)发现早期有发展前途的少数民族学生，为他们从事科学心理学工作做好准备；(3)增加心理科学家对少数民族问题的兴趣和关注作为研究课题；(4)发展纽约市立大学的人才储备，为未来的研究科学家提供有才华和多样化的学生。每个REU学生都将加入一个研究团队，在一个与学生表达的兴趣相匹配的领域工作。每个团队将专注于心理学的一个领域，计划和执行研究，以发表专业论文并向高质量的同行评审期刊提交研究报告。学生将从四个正在进行的研究小组中选择一个：(a)心理学和法律小组；(b)工业/组织小组；(c)社会心理小组；(d)教育心理学团队。学生也可以与研究不适合四个研究小组之一的教师合作。学生将参与整个研究过程。该奖项有助于基金会继续努力，通过积极的本科研究经历吸引有才华的学生进入科学事业。

This award provides funds for an REU Site in Psychology at City University of New York, Baruch College. Sixteen students, who attend colleges in New York City, will participate in the Site as a paid research assistant for three, 12-week semesters. The REU undergraduates will join existing research teams and contribute to ongoing empirical research programs in areas of applied and basic psychology. Students will also propose and complete projects of their own under the direct supervision of a research scientist. The REU project itself will be an experiment in research education evaluated with outcome data. The program will: (1) prepare students for advanced graduate training in scientific psychology and ultimately for careers in academic and applied settings; (2) identify early promising minority students and prepare them for careers in scientific psychology; (3) increase psychological scientists' interests in minority issues and concerns as research topics; and (4) develop a CUNY pipeline to provide a pool of talented and diverse students to become the research scientists of the future. Each REU student will join a research team working in an area that matches the student's expressed interests. Each team will focus in one area of psychology, planning and executing studies with the intention of presenting professional papers and submitting research reports to quality peer-reviewed journals. Students will choose one of four ongoing research teams: (a) The psychology and law team; (b) the industrial/organizational team; (c) the social psychology team; and (d) the educational psychology team. Students may also work with a faculty member whose research does not fit one of the four research teams. Students will participate in the entire research process.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
