We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Promoting African American Mental Health @ Michigan State University
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): African American youth today suffer disproportionately from a host of negative psychological and behavioral outcomes -- largely due to the effects of institutionalized racism, exploitation and social injustices (Stevenson, Reed Bodison, & Bishop, 1997; Baldwin, Harris & Chambliss, 1997; Green, 2000; Lewis, 2001). Research has found that formal education is one of the single most powerful mediums for counteracting and transforming many of these social ills and is thus one of the most effective places to intervene with youth (Green, 2001). However the current traditional mainstream education system has neglected to promote Black psychological and behavioral well being by failing to infuse Black culture into the curriculum (Tate Ladson-Billings & Grant, 1993). Hence, the goal of the proposed study is to promote Black psychological and behavioral well being through the development and evaluation of a school-based rites of passage intervention using an emancipatory education framework. The intervention involves two major elements: an educational component involving African and African American cultural exchanges and that application of culturally sensitive teaching methods/aids, and an empowerment component which involves providing empowerment services to African American youth. It is expected that by participating in this intervention, African American adolescents will have improved psychological and behavioral well being, have greater access to community resources, be better able to participate as leaders in their communities, and be more informed about their African heritage.
