on Undergraduate Research's Student Registry
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR)'s Registry of Undergraduate Researchers and Graduate Schools is designed to link undergraduate students who have research experience with graduate schools interested in recruiting such students (please see
http://www.cur.org/UGRegistryselect.html for general information about the Registry). The registry is free of charge to the student. Interested graduate schools contact CUR and pay to gain access to the student's records. These schools can then contact students whose records they are interested in. 100% of the proceeds go directly into our Summer Fellowships program, supporting CUR members and their students for a summer of (CUR-sponsored) research.
In order to continue the success of our Registry, we need your help! As a student, please register yourself at
http://www.cur.org/ugreg/register.asp. Once you register, you will receive an email that provides you with a password and instructions on how to complete your records. It is important that you follow through and complete your record after they register.
-->Graduate
Equity Fellowship
The
2002-2003 Graduate Equity Fellowship (GEF) applications are
currently being accepted in the Division of Graduate Studies
and Research Office in DDH-D100.
Please announce to your classes and post the attached
flyer.
The
GEF Program will award grants averaging $1,500 ($500 to
$4,500) to qualified graduate students (economically
disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, women in
the natural and mathematical sciences, or students from
other underrepresented groups).
Students must be formally admitted to a specific
graduate program at CSUB and be a full-time graduate student
for the duration of the award (minimum of eight credit units
counting toward the graduate plan of study each term).
Qualification for award is based upon academic
excellence and promise, while the level of award is based on
financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid.
Students
may qualify for six (6) consecutive terms of support, and
must reapply for each funding round.
Applications
are due in the Division of Graduate Studies and Research,
DDH-D100 on Wednesday, June 20, 2002.
Please contact Dr. Janice Chavez at 664-2231 or email
jchavez@csub.edu if
you have any questions.

POSITIONS: CHILDREN'S SUMMER TREATMENT PROGRAM
As you may
know, we have conducted the Children's Summer Treatment
Program (STP) the last five summers through the Psychology
Department at the State University of New York at Buffalo
(in addition to 10 summers at WPIC), for children with
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder
or Oppositional-Defiant Disorder. We have written
each year to ask your help in making outstanding students
aware of the numerous positions we have available.
We appreciate your assistance if you referred
potential candidates in the past.
Attached is an announcement for the positions that we will
have available this summer, and we hope that you will
encourage interested students to apply. Applications
for all positions are competitive, so students should
obtain application materials as soon as possible.
Position announcements and application materials are
available at http://wings.buffalo.edu/psychology/adhd, and
we encourage students to use our website to obtain the
information. Students who wish to request
application materials by mail should send a postcard or
letter of interest and a self-addressed stamped manila
envelope, with postage of $0.78, to the Center for
Children and Families - Summer Treatment Program, State
University of New York at Buffalo, 3435 Main St., Bldg.20
Buffalo, NY, 14214.
Students who have participated in the program have
uniformly viewed the experience as an extremely demanding
one, but one that makes a great contribution to their
professional development. With very few exceptions,
they highly recommend working in the program. For
example, on feedback forms administered at the end of
recent programs, approximately ninety percent of
undergraduates felt that the experience contributed very
much to their career goals, and that they would recommend
the program to other undergraduates. The experience
and recommendations gained in our program has helped many
of our undergraduates continue in graduate careers in the
helping professions. The experience is also quite
useful for undergraduate students interested in clinical
research in child psychopathology and interventions.
During the three summers from 2002 through 2004, the STP
represents an especially unique experience for
participating students. The program is funded by an
NIMH grant in which we are manipulating the dose of
behavioral treatment and crossing that with dose of
methylphenidate. Thus, undergraduates will
experience working with ADHD children in conditions in
which no behavioral intervention is in place, contrasted
with conditions in which moderate and intensive behavioral
treatments are in place. Medication doses will span
the therapeutic range from very low to higher doses.
Because the study is a crossover design, each staff member
will work with all conditions. Because of the No-Behavior
Modification condition, the experience will be somewhat
stressful for staff, but it will expose undergraduates to
an incredibly rich experience. Thank you for sharing this
information with your students.
