This new M-RISP application builds on the existing momentum of productive newer mental health researchers/faculty members in the Department of Psychology at an Hispanic Serving Institution, California State University, Northridge (CSUN). This M-RISP award would facilitate the research careers of current newer faculty and attract qualified faculty of color to our department, which currently does not represent our 53% minority student population. CSUN's location is unique in the quality of research opportunities available in an ethnically diverse, highly populous urban region. The university strives to support research productivity by providing funding and equipment, but recent cutbacks have meant fewer research resources. This MRISP award would provide enrichment opportunities for developing projects and faculty that would complement the existing strengths of the Department. The projects proposed here represent crucial areas of mental health research -- culturally sensitive norms for neurological tests (Razani), social perception of schizophrenics (Sergi), adjustment and educational expectations in low income Latinos (Saetermoe), social psychology and mental health issues in academic adjustment (Grant/Quilici), and adjustment and engagement of elders in computer-based activities (Lagana). By providing reassigned time, payment for participants, clerical services, travel funds, equipment funds, and, most importantly, educational opportunities, this program proposes to provide developing faculty members with the resources they need to conduct state-of-the-art research and to disseminate findings while moving toward non-developmentally funded research. The educational component of this M-RISP grant includes seminars and workshops in quantitative statistics and methodology (e.g., structural equation modeling, project-specific workshops), qualitative methods and analysis (e.g., interviewing, qualitative interpretation), accompanied by weekly colloquia and workshops including faculty and student presentations of their own research, guest speakers, library informational workshops, data base workshops, and a variety of other enrichment activities. Our goals include the development of a research center (The Center for the Psychological Study of Urban Diversity) dedicated to the creation of a community of well-trained scholars who are committed to mentoring faculty and students of color and who are working toward improving the mental health of all people.

这一新的 M-RISP 应用程序建立在生产性更新心理健康的现有势头之上 加州州立大学北岭分校 (CSUN) 西班牙裔服务机构心理学系的研究人员/教职人员。该 M-RISP 奖项将促进当前新教师的研究生涯，并吸引合格的有色人种教师来到我们系，目前该系并不代表我们 53% 的少数族裔学生群体。 CSUN 的地理位置在种族多元化、人口稠密的城市地区提供的研究机会质量方面是独一无二的。该大学努力通过提供资金和设备来支持研究生产力，但最近的削减意味着研究资源减少。这个MRISP 该奖项将为开发项目和教师提供丰富的机会， 补充该部门现有的优势。这里提出的项目代表了心理健康研究的关键领域——神经测试的文化敏感规范（Razani）、精神分裂症患者的社会认知（Sergi）、低收入拉丁裔的调整和教育期望（Saetermoe）、社会心理学和心理健康问题学术调整（Grant/Quilici），以及老年人对基于计算机的活动的调整和参与（Lagana）。通过提供重新分配的时间、参与者报酬、文书服务、旅行基金、设备基金，以及最重要的教育机会，该计划旨在为发展中的教员提供进行最先进的研究和发展所需的资源。传播研究成果，同时走向非发展性 资助的研究。这项 M-RISP 赠款的教育部分包括定量统计和方法学研讨会和讲习班（例如结构方程建模、特定项目研讨会）、定性方法和分析（例如访谈、定性解释），以及每周的座谈会和讲习班包括教师和学生的研究报告、客座演讲、图书馆信息研讨会、数据库研讨会以及各种其他丰富活动。我们的目标包括建立一个研究中心（城市多样性心理研究中心），致力于创建一个由训练有素的学者组成的社区，这些学者致力于指导教师 以及有色人种学生，他们正在努力改善所有人的心理健康。
