Overview
The Monkey Cage blog, hosted at George Washington University and appearing on the Washington Post’s website, 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 America’s political conversation to be more informed by timely, accessible and sound research from a publicly oriented political science discipline – and to be less dominated by evidence-free arguments.

Grants to this Grantee
for a project to support a more representative American foreign policy
The Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University hosts the Generations Dialogue Project, which aims to increase the number of underrepresented youth who pursue and succeed in American foreign policy careers by connecting young people with individuals who blazed a trail in American foreign policy and international affairs. The grant seeks to increase the number of participating high school students who pursue university study related to international affairs; increase the number of participating undergraduate students who pursue graduate study related to international affairs; create for all participants an informational and support network for careers in international affairs; and demonstrate a model for generating pipelines of underrepresented groups and supporting them to undertake successful American foreign policy careers. This grant will also support a seminar series on the effect of localization on academics and students studying U.S. foreign policy and their potential to shape international development decisions in the Global South.
