Support for the 16th Annual Black Graduate Conference for Students in Psychology

这是一项支持会议的提案。这是一项少量资金的申请，以支持第16届心理学黑人毕业生年会(BGCP)。自1995年以来，BGCP通过以下方式为650多名参与者的学术和职业发展做出了贡献：(1)通过为研究生提供一个展示他们的研究并获得建设性反馈的支持性氛围，提高他们的研究能力；(2)为研究生提供一个机会，交流有助于他们在研究生院及以后茁壮成长的战略和经验；以及(3)为心理学研究生提供一个与未来同事建立网络和发展合作关系的论坛。拟议的活动旨在为非裔美国研究生的心理学培训提供持续的方法。作为研究非裔美国人心理经历的为数不多的场所之一，该会议是该领域新思想的重要孵化器。这些新观点不仅有益于非裔美国人的研究，也提升了整个心理学领域。会议的其他更广泛的影响包括它在以下方面的重要作用：(1)留住心理学研究生项目的非裔美国学生，以及(2)在顶级研究机构培养心理学家。

This is a proposal for support of a conference. It is a request for a small amount of funds to support the 16th Annual Black Graduate Conference in Psychology (BGCP). Since 1995, the BGCP has contributed to the scholarly and career development of over 650 participants by: (1) improving the research capabilities of graduate students by providing them with a supportive atmosphere in which to present their research and receive constructive feedback; (2) providing graduate students with an opportunity to exchange strategies and experiences that will help them to thrive in graduate school and beyond; and (3)providing a forum for graduate students in psychology to network and develop collaborative relationships with future colleagues. The activities proposed are designed to provide a sustained approach to the training of African American graduate students in psychology. As one of the few venues for examining the psychological experiences of African Americans, the conference serves as an important incubator for new ideas in the field. These new ideas not only benefit the study of African Americans, but also enhance the field of psychology as a whole. Additional broader impacts of the conference include its important role in: (1) retaining African American students in psychology graduate programs, and (2) developing psychologists at top-tier research institutions.
