REU Site: Democracy and World Politics Summer Research Program

该奖项授予印第安纳州立大学政治学专业的REU网站。该项目的主题是民主和世界政治，学生们致力于以下三个问题领域之一：民主中的外交政策、民主化和民主促进以及民主和冲突。这些问题既引人入胜，又充满活力，既有学术价值，也有流行价值。每年夏天，12名学生将与教职员工一起开发上述主题下的研究问题和设计。学生将收集和分析数据，并撰写学术论文报告他们的发现。活动将包括研究方法研讨会、密集的项目开发研讨会、客座学者的特别演讲、社区形成活动，以及在具有研究和出版记录的项目导师的指导下进行研究。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职业生涯。

This award is for an REU Site in Political Science at Indiana State University. The project theme is Democracy and World Politics, with students working on one of three issue areas: Foreign Policy in a Democracy, Democratization and Democracy Promotion, and Democracy and Conflict. These issues are engaging and dynamic, with both academic and popular value. Each summer, 12 students will work with faculty members to develop research questions and designs within the themes mentioned above. Students will gather and analyze data and produce scholarly papers reporting their findings. Activities will include research methods seminars, intensive project development workshops, special presentation by guest scholars, community-forming events, and research under the guidance of project mentors with established records of research and publication.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
