描述（由申请人提供）：林肯大学是美国历史上最古老的黑人学院/大学（HBCU）。其学生人口约90%是非洲裔美国人;女性约占学生人口的60%。自1854年成立以来，林肯的使命一直是为“那些历史上被剥夺了学习自由的人的后代”提供教育。“林肯主要是一个本科教学机构;科学在教育学生方面发挥着重要作用。近年来，让学生参与研究的好处变得显而易见。林肯的教师正在努力为尽可能多的学生提供本科阶段的研究经验。目前，林肯没有研发办公室。随着对研究的日益重视，特别是对健康差距的研究，需要设立这样一个办公室。Dr. Delroy M.劳登，心理学教授，是通过经验和兴趣，在林肯大学开发这样的行政结构。在校外合作伙伴计划的支持下，劳登博士将获得开发这样一个办公室并成功运营所需的额外知识和技能。该办公室将提高教师对研究机会的认识，增加跨学科合作，协助赠款准备，并建立一个研究日，教师和学生可以分享他们的研究想法，并从内部审查过程中受益，包括模拟审查小组。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lincoln University is the nation's oldest Historically Black College/University (HBCU). Its student population is approximately 90% African-American; females account for approximately 60% of the student population. Lincoln's mission since its founding in 1854 has been to provide education for "the descendents of those historically denied the liberation of learning." Lincoln is primarily an undergraduate teaching institution; the sciences play a major role in educating the students. In recent years, the benefits of involving students in research have become evident. Lincoln's faculty is making an effort to provide as many students as possible with research experiences at the undergraduate level. At the present time, Lincoln has no office of research development. With the growing emphasis on research, especially with reference to health disparities, such an office needs to be established. Dr. Delroy M. Louden, Professor of Psychology, is primed through experience and interest to develop such an administrative structure at Lincoln University. With the support of the Extramural Associates Program, Dr. Louden will obtain the additional knowledge and skills he needs to develop such an office and operate it successfully. The office will increase the faculty's awareness regarding research opportunities, increase interdisciplinary collaboration, assist in grant preparation, and establish a Research Day where faculty and students can share their research ideas and benefit from an internal review process, including a mock review panel.
