Dear members of the Political Methodology community,

I'm pleased to announce the 2018 Janet Box-Steffensmeier and John A. Garcia
Scholarships. The Society for Political Methodology and the
Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) have
jointly offered two scholarship awards that are intended to encourage women
and under-represented graduate students to attend the ICPSR Summer Program
in Quantitative Methods of Social Research.  The information about the
scholarships is available at the Society's website but I also provide it
below for your information.

This year, the winners of these scholarships will be invited to present
their research at the poster session of the summer meeting.  I hope that
this will provide an additional incentive for many of you to apply for
these scholarships.  If you have any questions about the scholarships,
please contact Saundra Schneider <[log in to unmask]> who will chair the
selection committee.

Best,
Kosuke Imai
President, Society for Political Methodology
