DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This resubmission of a M-RISP grant application aims to develop the mental health disparities research capability of faculty in the Departments of Psychology and Human Development at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). Situated in a highly diverse ethnic metropolitan region, CSULB has abundant opportunities and needs for research relevant to understanding and reducing health disparities in populations with different cultural backgrounds. An M-RISP award would provide opportunities for faculty development in research that would complement the existing strengths and reinforce the momentum of research productivity by faculty. Our M-RISP fosters individualized plans for training participants with the long range objective of producing competitive research applications for extramural funding. It would (1) involve faculty members in conducting pilot work that would lead to a competitive research grant on mental health disparities; (2) increase graduate and undergraduate student research participation, (3) provide research development activities for faculty; and (4) strengthen the institutional infrastructure for mental health research. Our M-RISP would provide reassigned time for participants that would be matched by the College of Liberal Arts and the Department of Psychology, payment for participants, clerical services, travel funds, equipment funds, and state of the art research skill training for faculty development that will enable them to conduct high quality research. Participants would receive seminars and workshops in quantitative research methods and analysis (e.g., web-based survey, daily diary method, structural equation modeling), as well as qualitative research methods and analysis (e.g., interviewing, qualitative interpretation), accompanied by bi-weekly colloquia including faculty and student presentations of their own research and guest speakers and a variety of other enrichment activities. Our M-RISP activities will be closely coordinated with an existing Career Opportunities in Research (COR) program funded by NIMH at CSULB since 1981 to mentor minority undergraduates toward doctoral studies. The three projects proposed here represent crucial areas of mental health research - 1) acculturation, stress and coping among Korean immigrants; 2) sibling influences on coping in families with a child with Type 2 diabetes; 3) cultural factors related to disclosure by rape victims, and its effect on mental health. The award would be timely because recent fiscal cutbacks by the State of California have reduced University resources for research even though the University has shown that it values and rewards research productivity.

描述（由申请人提供）：重新提交 M-RISP 拨款申请旨在发展加州州立大学长滩分校 (CSULB) 心理学和人类发展系教师的心理健康差异研究能力。 CSULB 位于高度多元化的民族大都市地区，拥有丰富的机会和需求来进行与了解和减少不同文化背景人群的健康差异相关的研究。 M-RISP 奖项将为教师在研究方面的发展提供机会，以补充现有的优势并增强教师研究生产力的动力。我们的 M-RISP 为培训参与者制定个性化计划，其长期目标是为外部资金提供有竞争力的研究申请。它将（1）让教职员工参与试点工作，从而获得有关心理健康差异的竞争性研究资助； (2) 增加研究生和本科生的研究参与，(3) 为教师提供研究开发活动； (4) 加强精神卫生研究的机构基础设施。我们的 M-RISP 将为参与者提供重新分配的时间，这些时间将由文学院和心理学系相匹配，为参与者提供报酬、文书服务、旅行资金、设备资金以及用于教师发展的最先进的研究技能培训这将使他们能够进行高质量的研究。参与者将接受定量研究方法和分析（例如网络调查、日记法、结构方程建模）以及定性研究方法和分析（例如访谈、定性解释）的研讨会和讲习班，并伴有双每周的座谈会，包括教师和学生介绍自己的研究和客座演讲以及各种其他丰富活动。我们的 M-RISP 活动将与自 1981 年以来由 NIMH 在 CSULB 资助的现有研究职业机会 (COR) 计划密切协调，以指导少数族裔本科生攻读博士学位。这里提出的三个项目代表了心理健康研究的关键领域——1）韩国移民的文化适应、压力和应对； 2) 兄弟姐妹对有 2 型糖尿病儿童的家庭的应对方式的影响； 3）与强奸受害者披露相关的文化因素及其对心理健康的影响。该奖项是及时的，因为加利福尼亚州最近的财政削减减少了大学的研究资源，尽管大学已经表明它重视并奖励研究生产力。
