Minority COR Honors Porgram

超出所提供的空间。加州州立大学弗雷斯诺分校（弗雷斯诺州立大学），被美国教育部指定为西班牙裔服务机构，提议为有兴趣从事心理健康研究的少数族裔学生建立一个荣誉项目。这一努力与NIMH减少健康差距的战略计划保持一致。弗雷斯诺州立大学的少数族裔心理健康研究培训（M-COR-MH）项目将创建一个资源中心，为优秀生提供获得专业指导、课程、课外专业研讨会和研究培训的机会，旨在提高他们在知名博士项目中的竞争力，并提高他们对心理健康研究相关职业的兴趣。该项目的基础设施将由来自不同院系的大学教师管理，他们的承诺反映了他们对解决心理健康研究中的差异的兴趣。该项目的目标将通过以下途径切实实现：1)加强早期研究训练计划，重点鼓励本科生参与少数民族群体的心理健康研究；2)加强心理学、社会工作、生物学和教育学的心理健康课程；3)提供密集的学术和职业建议，以促进研究生入学。该计划将于2001年夏季接受第一批六名学生开始为期两年的课程。该项目将为他们提供高级课程和课外活动，为他们进入严谨的研究和研究生院做好准备。学者们还将通过服务项目为他们的社区做出贡献，并参与指导的研究机会。M-COR-MH将通过与拟议的M-RISP计划和经验丰富的教师精神健康研究人员骨干的密切联系而得到加强。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. California State University, Fresno (Fresno State), designated a Hispanic-serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education, proposes to establish an honors program for minority students interested in pursuing careers in mental health research. This effort is in keeping with the NIMH's Strategic Plan for Reducing Health Disparities. The Minority COR Training in Mental Health Research (M-COR-MH) Program at Fresno State will create a resource center providing an opportunity for honor students to attain specialized mentoring, coursework, extra-curricular professional seminars, and research training with the intent to increase their competitiveness for acceptance in prominent doctoral programs and advanced their interests in mental health research related careers. The program's infrastructure will be administered by University faculty from various departments and colleges whose commitment reflects their interest to address the disparities in mental health research. The goals of the program will be feasibly accomplished with a) an intense early research training program focused to encourage undergraduate students in partaking in mental health research with minority populations, b) strengthen the mental health curricula in psychology, social work, biology, and education, and c) offer intensive academic and career advising to promote admittance into graduate schools. This proposed program will accept its first cohort of six students to begin the two-year program in Summer 2001. The program will offer them advanced curricula and co-curricular activities to prepare them for the rigors of research and graduate school. Scholars will also contribute 1:o their community through service projects and engage in mentored research opportunities. M-COR-MH will be enhanced by the close ties to a proposed M-RISP program and a cadre of experienced faculty mental health researchers.
