has partnered with U-M’s Institute for Social Research

(ISR)
to offer a limited number of full scholarships to attend this year’s ICPSR
Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research.

Through the ASC/ISR fellowships, up to 12 University of Michigan African
Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) alumni, incoming UMAPS scholars, and (space
permitting) other Africa-based scholars directly affiliated with ASC, and
particularly its African Social Research Initiative (ASRI), will be able to
attend the Summer Program free of charge. ICPSR is offering a generous 50%
reduction on the course fee for all other researchers based at African
institutions.
At ASC, we believe firmly that value is added to U-M programs by
incorporating the insights and experiences of our African colleagues. We
are therefore very happy to extend this opportunity to our UMAPS alumni,
and we look forward to the contributions that these scholars will make to
the ICPSR programs, says ASC Director Andries Coetzee.
This is an exciting collaboration between ISR, ASC, and ICPSR that builds
on a long tradition of African scholars participating in the ICPSR summer
program. It's great that we can offer this opportunity to a larger group of
scholars by taking advantage of remote instruction, notes ISR Director
David Lam.
Mike Traugott, Director of the Summer Program, adds, “Moving to online
instruction has given us the opportunity to extend our programming in
quantitative methods to researchers from around the world who otherwise
might not have been able to afford traveling to and staying in Ann Arbor
for a month in order to enroll. We reduced our fees in acknowledgment of
COVID-19 and going online, and we are pleased to pass on a further discount
to those from Africa who are interested in this year’s Summer Program.”

ICPSR is very pleased to work with ASC to welcome scholars from African
institutions to its Summer Program. Generations of Summer Program
participants have learned new skills, built valuable relationships, and
launched their research in new directions. The virtual environments for
this year’s Summer Program will expand access in new and exciting ways,
says ICPSR Director Maggie Levenstein.
