The 2013 APSA Ralph Bunche Summer Institute (RBSI) has been canceled. The RBSI program was awaiting funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), however the NSF is currently unable to release the 2013 funds. The restrictions in the recently passed Coburn amendment limit NSF political science program funding to projects/programs that are found to be in the economic interest of the United States or related to the national defense of the United States. (The RBSI program is jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Duke University, and the American Political Science Association). For more information on the Senate Amendment and APSA’s Advocacy Efforts, please visit the APSA Advocacy Page.
