Diverse voices and diverse methodological approaches are essential for solving the challenges facing society today. This project supports educational, training, and networking opportunities for members of under-represented groups to engage and give voice to these future and young scholars. First, we build a support-network and provide methodological education for a cohort of undergraduates, creating a potential pipeline of diversity into the field by recruiting women and students of color. Second, we provide explicit support for a women's conference in methodology, building a supportive community for women methodologists. Third, we provide explicit support for the field's annual national meeting to support the participation of women and students of color. In this way, we are able to address the most critical weaknesses in the field of political methodology and provide meaningful growth and attention to each, in particular allowing relationships to build in ways that both diversify the field and allow for expansion into new communities of scholars. With rising interest worldwide in data science and measurement, the field of political methodology is increasingly central to the study of political science. This proposal supports multiple efforts by the Society for Political Methodology to engage and give voice to a diverse array of scholars. These efforts include (a) providing undergraduate students in underrepresented groups educational training in partnership with the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research, (b) supporting the Visions in Methodology Conference for women in political methodology, (c) supporting the attendance of women and students of color at the Society for Political Methodology Annual Meeting, and (d) fostering greater dialogue and data-sharing across constituent groups. By attending to each step in the pipeline, we maximize the chances that our efforts to meaningfully diversity the field will be successful.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.

不同的声音和不同的方法对于解决当今社会面临的挑战至关重要。该项目为弱势群体成员提供教育、培训和交流机会，让他们与这些未来的年轻学者接触，并为他们发声。首先，我们建立一个支持网络，为一群本科生提供方法论教育，通过招募女性和有色人种学生，为该领域创造一个潜在的多元化渠道。其次，我们为女性方法论会议提供明确的支持，为女性方法论学家建立一个支持性社区。第三，我们为该领域的年度全国会议提供明确支持，以支持女性和有色人种学生的参与。通过这种方式，我们能够解决政治方法论领域中最关键的弱点，并为每个弱点提供有意义的增长和关注，特别是允许以既使该领域多样化又允许扩展到新的学者社区的方式建立关系。随着全球对数据科学和测量的兴趣日益浓厚，政治方法论领域越来越成为政治学研究的核心。这项提案支持政治方法论学会的多项努力，让各种各样的学者参与进来，并发出他们的声音。这些努力包括(a)与ICPSR社会研究定量方法暑期项目合作，为代表性不足群体的本科生提供教育培训，(b)支持女性参与政治方法论的方法论愿景会议，(c)支持女性和有色人种学生参加政治方法论学会年会，以及(d)促进各组成群体之间更大的对话和数据共享。通过关注管道中的每一步，我们最大限度地提高了我们在有意义的领域多样化方面的努力取得成功的机会。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。
