Propose a group of three or more local institutions from whom you would recruit members. This group should reflect the full institutional diversity in your region and will ideally include at least one community college, one research-intensive institution, and one liberal arts college or regional public institution. If there are no liberal arts or regional public institutions in your area please note that in your application (note that \u201cregion\u201d is somewhat flexible and may be larger for applicants in less populous areas). If possible, applications should also identify at least one political science faculty member from each of the local institutions from which you will recruit who has committed to participating in P4 events (not necessarily a PI).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><u>Schedule of Events and Work Flow<\/u><\/strong>. Pedagogical Partnership grants support political science faculty working across institutions to develop cutting-edge teaching materials and share best practices for teaching historically under-represented students. We expect that this work will be conducted through events that bring all participants together to collaborate and share resources, as well as through less formal meetings among members of smaller working groups between events. Proposals should specify the number, timing, and purpose of funded activities. These events can include dissemination or follow-up events held after teaching resources have been produced. The Centennial Center\u2019s Teaching Symposia offer an example of what a collaborative teaching and learning workshop might look like:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/connect.apsanet.org\/centennialcenter\/teaching-symposia\/\">Sample workshop schedules available here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><u>Attention to inclusivity and institutionalization.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Identify how project\u2019s selection of topics and personnel demonstrates a commitment to ensuring an inclusive conversation that reflects the diversity of the Association and our profession.
