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 application deadline for applications and letters of recommendation has been extended through March 15, 2023.
