Application deadline:  February 19, 2010

Washington University's Weidenbaum Center and Department of Political Science sponsor a summer institute on the problems of testing theoretical models of politics. The institutes are designed for advanced graduate students and junior faculty whose research and teaching would benefit from training seminars on the link between methods of empirical analysis and theoretical models. The 2010 EITM Summer Institute is comprised of five seminars over a three-week period, a basic seminar and four advanced seminars (the last week will provide students with an option to take one of two seminars).
 
Participants selected for this program will receive a $1,500 stipend. This will be used to cover their travel, room, and board. Up to 25 subsidies are available for full-time participants currently attending U.S. universities. Participants shall be responsible for any and all costs of living expenses in St. Louis for the three-week long institute.  Funding is provided by the National Science Foundation.
