This project supports three summer conferences on political methodology. The conferences constitute the 20th thru 22nd such meetings, which have been sponsored by NSF and university host institutions since 1986. Each meeting brings together approximately 100 faculty and graduate students. There are several aims of the conferences. First, they provide a forum for state of the art political methodology by allowing scholars to present the newest methods in the field for discussion and debate. Second, they provide a forum where scholars in the field can debate and agree on best practices in different areas, which can then be disseminated to the field. Third, they enhance graduate training by exposing them to the state of the art in a fast-moving field, rather than leaving them believing that what they have read in older articles is the best available technology for dealing with estimation and specification issues in political science. Fourth, they allow junior faculty to receive state of the art training and advice on specific research problems. Fifth, they provide mentors ship opportunities and networks for new scholars, whether they are graduate students or junior faculty. The conferences are regarded widely as the best mechanisms for advancing methodology in political science.

该项目支持三场关于政治方法论的夏季会议。这些会议是第 20 至 22 次此类会议，自 1986 年以来一直由 NSF 和大学主办机构赞助。每次会议都会聚集大约 100 名教师和研究生。会议有几个目标。首先，它们为最先进的政治方法论提供了一个论坛，允许学者们提出该领域的最新方法进行讨论和辩论。其次，它们提供了一个论坛，该领域的学者可以就不同领域的最佳实践进行辩论和达成一致，然后将其传播到该领域。第三，他们通过让研究生接触快速发展的领域的最新技术来加强研究生培训，而不是让他们相信他们在旧文章中读到的内容是处理政治学中的估计和规范问题的最佳可用技术。第四，它们允许初级教师接受最先进的培训和针对具体研究问题的建议。第五，他们为新学者提供导师机会和网络，无论他们是研究生还是初级教师。 这些会议被广泛认为是推进政治学方法论的最佳机制。
