To be sure, they may not know they are interested in political methodology.

So if any of you have talented undergraduates from underrepresented groups that you think would benefit from some training at the ICPSR Summer Program that I might be able to persuade that they are interested in political methodology, please let me know.

Best,

Clay

    BIG NEWS!!!

    The Society for Political Methodology announces a new undergraduate
    initiative designed to diversify the field of political methodology by
    increasing the number of underrepresented students who intend to pursue an
    academic career in political methodology.

    Funded by the National Science Foundation, a cohort of 8 students will be
    invited to attend the first summer session of the ICPSR Summer Program from
    June 22-July 17 and develop their methodological skills by taking a full
    set of courses (at least two). This is an online program and participants
    will take courses online as well as join a Slack channel organized by the
    Society of Political Methodology to receive regular mentorship and build
    community. Our expectation is that by studying together, this cohort of
    students will build a micro-community of excitement and enthusiasm about
    political methodology while also supporting each other. The Society of
    Political Methodology will continue to mentor and support all students who,
    at the end of their ICPSR experience, wish to apply to graduate school in,
    or with an emphasis on, political methodology, including providing up to
    $4,000 to conduct political science mentored research.

    Interested students should complete this application form HERE and ask a
    faculty member to send one letter of recommendation to Professor Betsy
    Sinclair at bsinclai at wustl.edu. Preference will be given to those who will
    graduate in May of 2021 or later. The initiative will cover the costs of
    Summer Program ICPSR tuition.

    The deadline for applications is April 23rd, and participants should expect
    to be informed of their selection shortly thereafter. Please do not
    hesitate to reach out to the committee (Michelle Dion (dionm at mcmaster.ca),
    Clayton Webb (webb767 at ku.edu), Adam Enders (adam.enders at louisville.edu),
    Dean Lacy (Dean.P.Lacy at dartmouth.edu), Paul Gronke (gronke at reed.edu), Suzie
    Linn (sld8 at psu.edu), and Betsy Sinclair (bsinclai at wustl.edu)) with any
    questions you may have about the program.
