[EL] Announcing the New Initiatives Grants in Election Science

[Charles Stewart III]

I am happy to announce the first competition for the New Initiatives Grants in Election Science.   We have a total of $160,000 available for grants, with individual grant amounts capped at $20,000.  The application deadline is April 15.

Full information can be found at the MIT Election Data and Science Lab website:  http://electionlab.mit.edu/new-initiatives-grants-election-science


The competition is open to PhD candidates who are initiating or are already conducting dissertation research and faculty members at American colleges and universities.

Although the study of elections and election reform has historically been the purview of political science and public administration, the Lab encourages research in elections that might be centered in other social sciences (e.g., psychology, anthropology), the natural sciences (e.g., mathematics), engineering (e.g., computer science), and professional fields (e.g., management science).

Priority in the selection of grantees will be given to PhD candidates and to junior faculty members.  Research teams of two or more individuals are eligible.
Please read the call for proposals (linked above) for more details.  And, please feel free to distribute this e-mail widely.
