REU Site in Political Science--Ralph Bunche Summer Institute

该奖项为拉尔夫·邦奇夏季研究所(RSBI)提供支持，该研究所是美国政治学协会在弗吉尼亚大学主办的一个项目。RSBI旨在通过为黑人本科生准备进入博士课程并成为大学政治学教授来扩大非裔美国人的机会。RSBI在大三结束后的暑假让本科生沉浸在一个为期五周的密集课程中，其中包括研究生水平的课程工作，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，以及作为专业政治学家生命线的研究企业，专注于科学分析。在为期三年的时间里，每年将有15名学生被选为该项目的参与者。这一奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科生研究经验，继续努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业生涯。

This award provides support to the Ralph Bunch Summer Institute (RSBI), which is a program of the American Political Science Association hosted at the University of Virginia. The RSBI is designed to expand opportunities for African Americans by preparing black undergraduates to enroll in doctoral programs and become university professors of political science. The RSBI immerses undergraduates in the summer after their junior year 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. Fifteen students each year, over a three year period, will be selected for participation in the program. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
