Outstanding Student Multicultural Research Award
In order to promote and recognize exemplary multicultural research undertaken by graduate students in the department, the Center for Multicultural Psychological Research (CMPR) has established the Outstanding Student Multicultural Research Award
Research Domain. Dissertations, master’s theses, published papers, and papers presented at conferences will all be considered for the award. We will consider any submission that applies psychological science to increase our understanding of multicultural issues in both domestic and international contexts. For the purposes of this competition, we define multicultural research very broadly and may include research related to race, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, disability, religious affiliation, and socioeconomic status. We are especially interested in submissions that fall within the five research network areas of the Center: (a) Culture and mental health, (b) Culture in organizations, (c) Culture in communities, (d) Culture and human development, and (e) Cross-cultural assessment and research methods.
Student Researcher. In order for the nomination to be considered, the primary scholar must be a current or recently graduated (i.e., past 12 months) graduate student in Psychology at Michigan State University. Additionally, the research must have been completed while the student was a graduate student at MSU.
How to submit. Submissions (including self-nominations) must be submitted by the last monday in January to Jean Robinson (room 262). Either faculty or students can submit nominations. Please provide three copies of each submission and the nomination form. The review of nominations and selection of the recipient will be undertaken by the CMPR Student Award committee.
The Award. The award winner will be announced and the certificate delivered as part of the Annual Distinguished Lecture in Multicultural Psychology (Spring). The award will be: $300 and a certificate suitable for framing. Award winners will also have their name on a trophy plaque displayed in first floor showcase and on the Center website.
