Introduction
The
Minority Fellowship Program Coordinating Center (MFPCC) Resource Library is
designed to address the needs of current and alumni Fellows as they complete
their educational endeavors and strengthen professional pursuits in their
respective behavioral health disciplines. This Web-based library serves as the
national hub for an evolving, well-organized, and readily accessible repository
of materials on minority health and health disparities, quarterly e-newsletters,
and 10 Webinar trainings a year. Each year, MFPCC also publishes other
products, such as brochures and fact/tip sheets. Categories of resources are
organized around topics that are most useful to Fellows. They include
multimedia materials in
| 1. |
Targeted
areas of skill and knowledge development, including data resources for behavioral
health research, support for research training, writing resources, and employment
information |
| 2. |
Authoritative
research on minority health and health disparities, including underserved
communities |
| 3. |
Trending
topics such as recovery-oriented research and practice and integrated care |
Resources
will be added to the Resource Library over the life of the project (or removed,
as they become outdated). Contributors are invited to submit suggestions for relevant research,
practitioner guidance, clinical tools, and other multimedia materials—as well as
announcements about upcoming relevant conferences and meetings—to keep the library robust and current.
