We are pleased to announce that the Center for Positive/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy will subsidize program fees for graduate students taking the 2023 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. The program will be held hybrid—both in-person and online—same as 2022. The TGU subsidy will be provided to those who are willing to take in-person instructions at the University of Michigan.

Purpose of TGU subsidy
Waseda University, with its “Waseda Goes Global” concept, was selected for the “Top Global University (TGU) Project” by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2014, promoting “fostering global leaders” and “promoting ingenious research”. With the TGU Project, as part of our “nurturing global leaders”, we support our students to study overseas and take valuable programs, and also to take online programs from overseas universities under the current Covid-19 situation. As the subsidy is to come from the university’s internal budget, we would be grateful if you could understand the purpose of special support and cooperate in further activities to promote the TGU project.
