The APSA Spring Centennial Center Research Grant Program supports research in all fields of political science. The intent of these grants is to provide funding opportunities for research conducted by political scientists in non-tenure track or contingent positions who are ineligible for departmental funding; political science faculty of all ranks who are employed in departments that do not grant PhDs; and graduate students in Political Science or a related discipline such as Politics or International Relations. Funds may be used for such research activities as travel to archives, travel to conduct interviews, administration, and coding of instruments, research assistance, and purchase of datasets. Funds may be used by scholars with disabilities for auxiliary devices or services uniquely needed for carrying out the research. Applicants must submit the Title Page that should include an abstract of the proposal; the Research Statement that should include a description of the research topic, questions, and its import to the field; and the research design to be used; and the present status of the project. Although not required, if the project has a potential public engagement component or other public component, please include this as well. Graduate students must submit at least one letter of recommendation. Please visit the award's website for more information.
