We are pleased to announce that the Center for Positive/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy will subsidize program fees for graduate students taking the 2022 ICPSR Summer Program. ICPSR (Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research) is a university association for political and social research established in 1962 by the Institute of Social Research, University of Michigan, and holds the Summer Program every year.
The ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research has a comprehensive curriculum of intensive courses in research design, statistics, data analysis, and social methodology. Following the programs conducted online in 2020 and 2021, it will be held hybrid this year—both in-person and online. The TGU subsidy will be provided to those who are willing to take in-person instructions at the University of Michigan.

Purpose of SGU subsidy
Waseda University, with its “concept of Waseda goes global”, was selected for the “Top Global University project (TGU) Project” of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2014, promoting “fostering global leaders” and “promotion of ingenious research”. With the TGU project, as part of our “fostering of global leaders”, we support our students to study overseas taking valuable programs, and also to take online programs by overseas universities under the current situation of COVID-19. Since the subsidy is to come from the TGU project and WSC donations, we would appreciate if you could cooperate in further activities to promote the TGU or WSC project.
