Each year, the Centennial Center offers over $100,000 in research grants to APSA members through its Spring and Summer application deadlines.
APSA is extending the application deadline for the Summer 2025 Centennial Center Research Grants (CCRG) from June 16 to June 23. This extension allows applicants from the spring cycle additional time to revise and resubmit, if desired. The summer cycle is an open call—all APSA members are eligible to apply, regardless of rank or institutional affiliation. Due to high demand, we anticipate that the review period will begin in
July and last 4–6 weeks. The earliest funding decisions will be made is August, though this is subject to potential delays. Disbursements are expected between mid-August and early September.
Application Deadline: June 23, 2025 | Apply Now!
