Centennial Center

The Centennial Center’s mission is to advance the political science discipline, and we do that through a broad range of programs supporting research, teaching, and public engagement.

These include grant opportunities to support traditional research, and to support larger projects, including collaborations to produce innovative teaching materials, research partnerships between practitioners and academic experts on pressing public issues, and community-oriented programs aimed at enhancing civic engagement and efficacy.
