Funding Political Science Research: Recipients of Centennial Center Research Grants and Small Research Grants Announced
The American Political Science Association (APSA) today announced a total of over $130,000 in funding for political science research. This includes Centennial Center Research Grants to be presented to 37 political scientists, and Small Research Grants presented to 17 political scientists all together representing 53 academic institutions.
The Centennial Center is home to thirteen donor-created funds, which support the research grant program. Each grant fund has a unique set of aims, including supporting international scholarship, electoral scholarship, and scholarship on race and gender. The Small Research Grants Program supports research conducted by political scientists in non-tenure track or contingent positions, and political science faculty of all ranks who are employed at community colleges or in departments that do not grant PhDs.
The grants awarded support projects focusing on a wide variety of topics, including research across all political science subfields, efforts to advance political science impact through public engagement, professional development opportunities, and scholarly collaboration around civically engaged research.
