This award provides funds for the renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in Political Science at the University of Virginia. The program, called the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute, was initiated by the American Political Science Association in 1986. NSF joined in funding the program in 1997. The program is designed to expand opportunities for students of color by preparing them to enroll in doctoral programs and become political science college and university professor. Twenty black, Latino, and American Indian undergraduates will be immersed in a five-week intensive program that includes graduate level course work, and the design, analysis, write-up, and presentation of original research papers. The program simulates the graduate school experience and focuses on scientific analysis by introducing the students to research methods and statistics, and the research enterprise that is the lifeline of professional political scientists. Two excellent ethics seminars will be included in the program -- one on ethics in survey research and the other on ethical choices in international relations.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为弗吉尼亚大学政治学本科生研究经验的更新提供资金。 该项目名为拉尔夫·邦奇暑期研究所，由美国政治学协会于1986年发起。 NSF于1997年加入资助该计划。 该计划旨在通过准备他们参加博士课程，成为政治学学院和大学教授，扩大有色人种学生的机会。 20名黑人，拉丁裔和美洲印第安人本科生将沉浸在为期五周的强化课程中，其中包括研究生水平的课程工作，以及原创研究论文的设计，分析，撰写和演示。 该计划模拟研究生院的经验，并通过向学生介绍研究方法和统计数据，以及作为专业政治科学家生命线的研究企业，专注于科学分析。 该计划将包括两个优秀的伦理研讨会-一个关于调查研究中的伦理问题，另一个关于国际关系中的伦理选择。该奖项有助于基金会继续努力，通过积极的本科生研究经验吸引有才华的学生进入科学事业。
