MSIRA fellows receive formal training in research methods via a 10-week course (POSC 114L), and then selected students complete a research apprenticeship. MSIRA fellows will support a public engagement research study, and selected MSIRA fellows will be matched to a scholar of political science who will serve as their mentor. During their apprenticeship, MSIRA fellows will provide research support to their mentors and have opportunities to learn more about applying to graduate school.
