Follow-Up Evaluation of a Faculty Training Program in Aging Research
Mehrotra, Chandra M.
Educational Gerontology, v32 n7 p493-503 Aug 2006
In collaboration with distinguished scholars and National Institute on Aging (NIA) staff, we designed, implemented, and evaluated a research training program in aging for psychology faculty from 4-year colleges. The goal of the program was to build and sustain a community of college faculty committed to conducting aging research, incorporating recent advances in their courses, and engaging undergraduate students in aging research. Program design included an initial 2-week summer institute, ongoing consultation, a midyear meeting during the intervening year, and a follow-up institute. The initial institute focused on research methodology, selected content areas, and procedural matters related to preparation and submission of grant applications. There were 2 follow-up meetings that provided participants with extended opportunities to discuss the proposal they were developing. Between 1998 and 2004, 6 cohorts of psychology faculty (with 13-15 members in each cohort) participated in the program. This paper reports the results of a follow-up evaluation we conducted in September 2004. (Contains 3 tables.)
