Dr. Terza Lima-Neves Among Scholars, Recipients of Special Project Funds Grant from American Political Science Association
“The American Political Science Association announced a total of $140,000 in Special Projects Fund grants to be presented to six teams of political scientists working to advance the discipline.
The 2020 Special Projects Fund grants recognize an exceptional group of 20 established and early career scholars representing 17 academic institutions.
“Our Special Projects Fund recipients are tackling some of the greatest challenges and embracing some of the greatest opportunities facing our profession,” said Steven Rathgeb Smith, Executive Director of APSA. “I am very confident that they will have a significant, positive impact on the quality of research our discipline produces, and equally importantly, that they will each work to make our discipline more inclusive and equitable.”
The grants awarded support projects focusing on a wide variety of topics, including advancing the impact of political science research through public engagement, expanding professional development opportunities and scholarly collaboration around civically engaged research, mixed-methods research, and world politics research, and advancing diversity and inclusion in the profession.
The HBCU No Student Left Behind Initiative (NSLBI) is a project sponsored by the National Conference of Black Political Scientists (NCOBPS) HBCU Task Force. NSLBI seeks to recruit and mentor HBCU graduate and undergraduate students to NCOBPS, and to integrate them into with well-resourced political science organizations. The NSLBI seeks to create a pathway for these students by connecting them with NCOBPS faculty mentors, research and professional development opportunities.”
