Langston University RRTC Research & Capacity Building for Minority Serving Institutions
Project Description:
Langston University (LU), a land grant historically Black college/university (HBCU), in partnership with the Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI) at the University of Massachusetts Boston (a minority entity) and Boston Childrens Hospital, Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services (ODRS), and South Carolina State University (SCSU [an HBCU]) are proposing the RRTC on Research and Capacity Building for Minority Entities. The MISSION of the Langston University RRTC is to improve Minority Entities (e.g., historically Black colleges/universities [HBCUs], Hispanic-serving institutions [HSIs], and American Indian tribal colleges/universities [AITCUs]) disability and rehabilitation research capacity and infrastructure by conducting a programmatic line of research examining experiences and outcomes of persons from traditionally underserved racial and ethnic populations and communities and capacity-building efforts. To accomplish this goal, we will 1) engage our partners to carry out a national research, research capacity-building (RCB) and research infrastructure (RI) agenda via dissemination, training and technical assistance activities, and 2) mentor select minority entity (ME) research Fellows in the development of field-initiated pilot projects and research grant proposals
