About MPSA’s Advocacy Efforts
The purposes of the MPSA are to promote the professional study and teaching of political science, to facilitate communications between those engaged in such study, and to develop standards for and encourage research in theoretical and practical political problems. As such, MPSA is a nonpartisan association. It does not support political parties or candidates. MPSA’s advocacy and public awareness efforts have been designed to support researchers, political science as a discipline and the social sciences in general.
MPSA’s efforts support:
- National Science Foundation (NSF)
- Federal Statistical Agencies, Including The Census Bureau
- National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
- A multitude of additional social science and humanities programs
