American Political Science Association Dissertation Improvement Grants

APSA学位论文改进助学金项目为加强和改进政治学博士学位论文项目的开展提供支持。该计划延续了自2020年以来APSA计划的成功。该计划每年将提供大约25个奖项，支持博士论文研究，以增进对公民身份、政府和政治的知识和理解。除了这种直接支持，该计划还提供职业发展和公众参与资源，以扩大该奖项对获奖者职业生涯和他们工作的影响。该项目通过确定和支持有可能促进公民身份、政府和政治知识的博士论文研究项目来促进科学进步。此外，该项目通过支持确定如何利用公民、政府和政治知识造福社会和国防的项目，支持促进国家健康、繁荣和福利。除了对支持研究促进知识的潜力产生直接影响外，该项目还通过招募不同的申请者和评审员来支持来自不同群体和机构的博士生，从而支持妇女和代表性不足的少数群体更多地参与政治学研究。此外，该项目通过持续关注培训和支持公众参与来支持公众更多地参与政治学，以加强和加强公众与政治学家之间的交流。APSA学位论文改进补助金项目为加强和改进政治学博士论文项目的开展提供支持。该计划延续了自2020年以来APSA计划的成功。APSA学位论文改进助学金计划每年奖励大约25笔赠款，金额在10,000美元到15,000美元之间，用于支持博士论文研究，以增进对公民身份、政府和政治的知识和理解。奖励支持基础研究(应用研究将不会得到资助)，这是理论派生的，以经验为导向的。成功的建议侧重于通常不由学生所在的大学支付的研究费用，并将根据其智力优势和更广泛的影响进行评估。该计划将由APSA工作人员执行，并由APSA执行主任监督。此外，该计划还将把获奖者与APSA广泛的职业发展和公共参与网络和资源联系起来，以放大该奖项对获奖者职业生涯和他们工作的影响。这个项目通过支持政治学中非常有前途的博士论文研究来促进知识的发展。重要的是，该项目通过使申请者群体多样化来最大限度地发挥影响，从而确定和支持探索解决广泛的制度、政治和社会挑战的论文研究。通过招募不同的申请者和评审员来支持来自不同群体和机构的博士生，该项目还通过支持女性和代表性不足的少数群体更多地参与政治学研究，以及发展一支多元化的、具有全球竞争力的政治学工作队伍，为社会带来更广泛的好处。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The APSA Dissertation Improvement Grant project provides support to enhance and improve the conduct of doctoral dissertation projects in political science. The program continues the success of the APSA program in place since 2020. Each year the program will provide approximately twenty-five awards that support doctoral dissertation research that advances knowledge and understanding of citizenship, government, and politics. Along with this direct support, the program provides professional development and public engagement resources, to amplify the effect of the award on the awardee's career and on the impact of their work. This project promotes the progress of science by identifying and supporting doctoral dissertation research projects that have the potential to advance knowledge of citizenship, government, and politics. In addition, the project supports the advancement of national health, prosperity, and welfare, by supporting projects that identify ways to use knowledge of citizenship, government, and politics to benefit society and the national defense. Along with its direct effects on the potential for supported research to advance knowledge, this project also supports increased participation of women and underrepresented minorities in political science research by recruiting diverse applicant and reviewer pools to support doctoral students from diverse groups and institutions. In addition, the project supports increased public engagement with political science through ongoing attention to training and support for public engagement to strengthen and enhance the exchange between the public and political scientists.The APSA Dissertation Improvement Grant project provides support to enhance and improve the conduct of doctoral dissertation projects in political science. The program continues the success of the APSA program in place since 2020. The APSA Dissertation Improvement Grant program awards approximately twenty-five grants yearly of between $10,000 and $15,000 to support doctoral dissertation research that advances knowledge and understanding of citizenship, government, and politics. Awards support basic research (applied research will not be funded) which is theoretically derived and empirically oriented. Successful proposals focus on research costs not normally covered by the student's university and will be evaluated based on their intellectual merit and broader impact. The program will be executed by APSA staff and supervised by the APSA Executive Director. In addition, the program will also connect awardees to APSA’s extensive professional development and public engagement networks and resources, to amplify the effect of the award on the awardee’s career and on the impact of their work. This project advances knowledge through support of highly promising doctoral dissertation research in political science. Importantly, the program maximizes impact through diversifying the applicant pool, thus identifying and supporting dissertation research that explores solutions to a wide range of institutional, political, and social challenges. Through recruiting diverse applicant and reviewer pools to support doctoral students from diverse groups and institutions, this program also has a broader benefit to society by supporting increased participation of women and underrepresented minorities in political science research and the development of a diverse, globally competitive political science workforce.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.
