The present proposal is for twenty-four months of support for the Black Graduate Conference in Psychology (BGCP). The BGCP has been held annually since 1995. The conference was organized with three goals in mind. These goals are to: 1) provide African American graduate students in psychology with a supportive atmosphere to present their research and receive constructive feedback from fellow African American graduate students and faculty that will improve their research capabilities; 2) provide students with an opportunity to exchange strategies and experiences that will help them to thrive in graduate school and beyond; and 3) provide a forum for African American graduate students in psychology to develop long-lasting professional relationships with future colleagues. Each year since 1995, approximately 50 African American graduate students in psychology and African American faculty have participated in the conference. The conference is open to African American graduate students in all areas of psychology. As such, a variety of substantive research topics are presented. Conference activities consist of paper presentations, poster sessions, roundtable discussions and professional development presentations. Abstracts of students presentations are published on a website that is designed to provide African American graduate students with support and valuable information. Students are required to participate in all aspects of the conference. This requirement along with the small size of the conference fosters a climate of support and ensures that students get to know each other. The conference has had a significant broader impact on the field of psychology by playing a vital role in training African American graduate students to become productive and effective researchers. Over the years, more than 20 former participants have gone on to become academic psychologists. The impact of the conference continues to be felt as the research skills and professional contacts that former participants gained from the conference help them navigate the tenure process more successfully. This broader impact will only grow as more African American graduate students get a chance to participate in the conference.

目前的提议是为期二十四个月的黑人心理研究生会议（BGCP）。 BGCP自1995年以来每年举行。会议的组织有三个目标。 这些目标是：1）为非裔美国人的心理学研究生提供一种支持性的氛围，以介绍他们的研究，并从非裔美国人研究生和教师那里获得建设性的反馈，从而提高他们的研究能力； 2）为学生提供交换策略和经验的机会，这些策略和经验将帮助他们在研究生院及以后蓬勃发展； 3）为非裔美国人心理学研究生提供一个论坛，以与未来的同事建立长期的专业关系。 自1995年以来，每年，大约50名非裔美国人心理学和非裔美国人教师参加了会议。 该会议向所有心理学领域的非裔美国研究生开放。 因此，提出了各种实质性研究主题。 会议活动包括纸张演讲，海报会议，圆桌讨论和专业发展演示文稿。学生演示文稿的摘要发表在一个网站上，该网站旨在为非裔美国研究生提供支持和有价值的信息。要求学生参加会议的各个方面。 这项要求以及会议的小规模促进了支持的气氛，并确保学生彼此了解。 该会议通过在培训非裔美国研究生中发挥至关重要的作用，使其成为生产力和有效的研究人员，对心理学领域产生了更大的影响。多年来，有20多名前参与者继续成为学术心理学家。 随着前参与者从会议中获得的研究技能和专业联系人的影响，会议的影响继续受到感受，这有助于他们更成功地在任期过程中导航。 随着越来越多的非裔美国研究生有机会参加会议，这种更广泛的影响才会增长。
