APSA 2022 Political Science Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant

The American Political Science Association (APSA) is pleased to announce the 2022 Political Science Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant (DDRIG) period is now open!

This National Science Foundation-funded program provides support to enhance and improve the conduct of doctoral dissertation research in political science. Awards support basic research which is theoretically derived and empirically oriented. The APSA Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant program awards up to twenty grants yearly of between $10,000 and $15,000 to support doctoral dissertation research that advances knowledge and understanding of citizenship, government, and politics. Learn more about eligibility and the application process or find the application here. The deadline to apply is June 15, 2022.

In addition, as APSA assembles a review panel for the new APSA Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants, we are committed to selecting excellent scholars that are diverse on a variety of characteristics. To achieve this goal, we rely on the membership to help us develop a diverse pool from which we can assemble a balanced and representative review panel. If you or other scholars within your network are interested in volunteering to serve as a reviewer, please sign up here.
