This award provides funds for the renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in Political Science at Duke University. 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 degree programs. 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. Additional program seminars cover professional development topics such as GRE preparation and a graduate school recruitment fair. This program also includes an ethics component.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为杜克大学政治学本科生研究经验网站的更新提供资金。该项目名为“拉尔夫邦奇夏季学院”，由美国政治科学协会于 1986 年发起。美国国家科学基金会于 1997 年加入资助该项目。该项目旨在通过为有色人种学生准备攻读博士学位课程来扩大他们的机会。二十名黑人、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作业以及原创研究论文的设计、分析、撰写和演示。该项目模拟研究生院的经历，通过向学生介绍研究方法和统计数据，以及作为专业政治学家生命线的研究事业，重点关注科学分析。 其他课程研讨会涵盖 GRE 准备和研究生院招聘会等专业发展主题。 该计划还包括道德部分。该奖项有助于基金会不断努力通过积极的本科研究经验吸引有才华的学生进入科学领域。
