for support of Monkey Cage blog
The Monkey Cage blog, hosted at George Washington University and appearing on the website of the Washington Post, builds a bridge between political scientists and the American political conversation by creating a compelling forum, developing publicly focused scholars, and building an informed audience. This grant will enable Americas political conversation to be more informed by timely, accessible, and sound research from a publicly oriented political science disciplineand to be less dominated by evidence-free arguments.
