The Ralph Bunche Summer Institute is designed to expand opportunities for students-of-color by preparing black, Latino, and American Indian undergraduates to enroll in doctoral programs and become political science college and university professors. The Ralph Bunche Summer Institute immerses undergraduates in the summer of their junior year in a five-week intensive program that includes graduate level coursework, as well as the design, analysis, writing, 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, statistics, and the research process in political science. Those students whose empirical papers are judged to be of high quality are invited to present their work in a poster session at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association. The ultimate goal of the RBSI is to increase the number of black, Latino, and American Indian political science faculty in U.S. colleges and universities. The Ralph Bunche Institute provides a five-week intensive program for undergraduate students-of-color (black, Latino, and American Indian) that prepares them pursue a Ph.D in political science, with the goal of expanding opportunities for them in academia as professors and researchers. The program includes graduate level coursework, training in statistical/quantitative methods, and completion of an original research project. Outcomes from previous years suggest that the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute is succeeding in increasing the numbers of students-of-color in political science graduate programs and the numbers of blacks and Latinos with doctorates in political science (as well as several cognate social science fields). The program has also been successful in increasing substantially the number of students from these underrepresented groups with masters' degrees in political science and public policy, many of whom have gone into government service.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

拉尔夫·邦奇暑期学院旨在扩大有色人种学生的机会，为黑人、拉丁裔和美洲印第安人本科生报名攻读博士课程，成为政治科学学院和大学教授做准备。拉尔夫邦奇暑期学院让本科生在大三的夏天沉浸在一个为期五周的强化项目中，其中包括研究生水平的课程，以及原创研究论文的设计、分析、写作和展示。该课程模拟研究生院的经历，通过向学生介绍政治学的研究方法、统计和研究过程，着重于科学分析。那些实证论文被评为高质量的学生将被邀请在美国政治科学协会年会上以海报形式展示他们的作品。RBSI的最终目标是在美国大学中增加黑人、拉丁裔和美洲印第安人的政治学系教师。拉尔夫邦奇研究所为有色人种（黑人、拉丁裔和美洲印第安人）的本科生提供为期五周的强化课程，为他们攻读政治学博士学位做准备，目的是扩大他们在学术界担任教授和研究人员的机会。该计划包括研究生水平的课程，统计/定量方法的培训，以及完成一项原创研究项目。前几年的结果表明，拉尔夫·邦奇暑期学院成功地增加了政治学研究生项目中有色人种学生的数量，以及获得政治学（以及几个相关社会科学领域）博士学位的黑人和拉丁裔学生的数量。该项目还成功地大大增加了来自这些代表性不足的群体的政治学和公共政策硕士学位学生的数量，其中许多人进入了政府部门。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
