UMTA (Urban Mass Transportation Administration) Summer Research and Development Workshop for Faculty from Minority Institutions (1982)

摘要

The primary purpose of this faculty training project was to increase the participation of faculty from minority institutions in the research and development programs of the Institute for Urban Affairs and Research at Howard University. This six-week summer research development workshop provided training in three areas, namely--research planning and management, grantsmanship, and computer utilization. In addition to lectures, panel discussions, and a practicum that provided the opportunity for participants to utilize their knowledge and skills in developing proposals, the six-week workshop included visits to 3 transit systems: Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), Greater Richmond Transit Company, and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA). Project staff and consultants provided technical assistance for a seven month period following the six-week workshop activities.
