Description
The APSA Centennial Center Summer Research Grants provide funding to support a broad range of political science research, scholarly activities, and professional development for members of the American Political Science Association (APSA). Funded by thirteen endowed funds, these grants encourage research in areas such as diversity, electoral politics, legislative studies, executive politics, civic education, international relations, women and politics, political art, and intersections of gender, race, and ethnicity. The program supports both individual and collaborative projects, including conferences and workshops that advance the discipline and foster public engagement. Applicants can select multiple relevant funds for their proposal and are encouraged to articulate how their research connects to the aims of these funds.
