*Overview*

The Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES) at the National Science
Foundation supports annual three-week summer institutes on Empirical
Implications of Theoretical Model that seek to train a new generation of
scholars who can better link positive theory and empirical work. The Summer
Institute is a highly collegial training program for advanced graduate
students and junior faculty led by political scientists from across the
discipline who employ EITM approaches in their research.  It combines
lectures on various facets of EITM approaches, lab instruction sessions,
research seminars by leading scholars, and rich feedback for participants
on their own ongoing research from lead faculty, a specific faculty mentor
paired with each participant, and other Institute participants. The
Institute also offers extensive opportunities for professional networking
in small group dinners with faculty, visiting lecturers, and other
participants.



This summer's institute will accept advanced graduate students and junior
faculty through a competitive selection process. There are no fees or
tuition. Dormitory lodging, meals and domestic travel expenses will be
provided for participants through a grant from the National Science
Foundation. EITM institutes are selective, with admission based
significantly on the quality and potential of research presented. Institute
training includes teaching and research components, providing students a
highly individualized interaction with a far wider and deeper array of
mentors than is available at any individual institution.



*Eligibility*

To be eligible to participate in the EITM Summer Institute, you must be
currently enrolled in a graduate program in Political Science or a related
field. In addition, applicants should have well-defined research interests
and preferably at least a completed dissertation prospectus. Though the
Institute will cover some background instruction in applied statistics,
computational modeling, and formal theory it is not a substitute for
sustained training in these areas. Therefore, applicants should already
have completed substantial coursework in at least one of these areas prior
to attendance.



We are particularly interested in receiving applications from members of
groups that have been historically underrepresented in math and science
and/or underrepresented in previous EITM Summer Institutes. We are also
interested in receiving applications from  individuals who are studying or
working at institutions where coursework in statistical inference and
formal modeling is not regularly offered. For students not currently
residing in the United States, please note that your attendance in the
program, if accepted, will be conditional on receiving a J-1 Visa for entry
into the U.S. as a student.

The deadline for the application is 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time, Tuesday,
February 28, 2023. The deadline for letters of recommendation is also
Tuesday, February 28, 2023.
