我们的REU计划概述
REU Site: Treatment-Related 研究 for Youth with Social, Emotional and Behavioral Problems
The goal of this REU site program is to provide undergraduate students (psychology, 社会工作, 生物学, 医学预科, 教育)与深入, hands-on experience focused on gaining clinical research skills for children with social, 情绪和行为问题.
Students are trained in the application of the scientific method to develop hypotheses and trained on how to design and conduct research studies on treatment-related issues for children with social, 情绪和行为问题. Students are also trained in the ethical conduct of research.
学生们由全日制博士指导.D.-level faculty members from psychology and medicine who have strong programs of research. 教师的专长包括:
- 服务 for children and adolescents with social, 情绪和行为问题
- Parent-related stress and engagement in services for children’s SEB
- 影响SEB学校服务的因素
- Decision-making for SEB services among parents, providers, teachers and children
- Integrated health systems for children and families with SEB living in 农村 or underserved settings
As our REU site will include participation of students from underrepresented groups or diverse backgrounds (e.g., 农村, 第一代, 少数民族或文化少数民族, 女性), we have an opportunity to potentially assist the career trajectories of these students, including enriching their graduate school prospects, 职业道路和职业选择. 另外, some students who will participate in our REU may come from a field related to psychology, 比如教育或社会工作, where they may have had less exposure to working on clinical research projects.
项目的目标
There are four aims for undergraduate students who participate in this REU:
- Gain experience conducting an independent project in the realm of treatment-related research for youth with SEB
- Have educational experiences alongside research experiences that will allow them to become better scientists
- Be mentored in the requisite skills to apply to and get into top-notch graduate schools in research-related fields
- Gain unique experience transferring clinical research findings from science to practice and from practice to science
Two types of activities, research and educational, will allow these aims to be met. The research conducted by students with their mentors will advance understanding of treatments and treatment-related issues for children with SEB. 经常与导师联系, 学生学习研究过程的各个方面, 包括假设公式, 科学文献的整合与分析, 研究设计, 数据收集, data analysis and the presentation of research findings.
Students also attend seminars focused on statistics, research methods and the graduate school application process. To maximize exposure to multiple areas of research, they attend seminars in which faculty mentors present data from recent research. Students receive considerable training in the presentation of research findings and have opportunities and financial support to present their findings at regional and national conferences focused on school mental health, treatments and treatment-related concerns for youth with SEB. Students and mentors work together to submit research reports for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals.
