APSA is collecting data from all departments and urges departments to respond to the survey by May 15. You can help us better understand trends in the discipline by encouraging your department chair and/or officers to participate. We know how much you value having access to current data on the profession—including key issues such as the labor market, teaching loads, enrollments, and departmental policies—and the ability to compare your institution with peer groups. Departments can simply login (login boxes above) to access the survey. If you have questions, or want more information on the survey, contact Bahram Rajaee at surveys@apsanet.org 202.483.2512.

Travel grants provide assistance to U.S. graduate students, international graduate students studying in the U.S., unemployed members, and international scholars.

Annual Meeting Working Groups consist of small groups of scholars who convene throughout the meeting to discuss a common topic or subfield. Group members draw on the rich content of the meeting by agreeing to attend certain panels and meeting to discuss the emerging themes. Working groups can enrich member participation by creating a community and networking experience. Organized sections, APSA committees, related groups, and individuals may sponsor working groups. Sponsors frame the topic, provide a volunteer coordinator/leader, promote the group, and develop any necessary background material.
