PRESS Funding Available for Senior Thesis Research Surveys - Apply by 1/30

Did you outline develop an experiment to add to existing thesis research? Would funding help you collect the data?

PRESS, the Politics Department's experiments working group, has funds available to award small grants for funding experiments for spring junior paper or senior thesis projects that address a question about politics. These small grants are intended primarily to provide funds to pay human subjects to participate in experimental studies, although other uses to support experimental work will be considered. Previous grants have supported online survey experiments, pilot studies of larger experiments, and pre-experiment tests such as question wordings or other specific elements of treatment designs. Grants are typically in the range of $250-$750, up to a maximum of $1500.

Please note the following deadline:
Senior thesis funding applications are due in SAFE, Friday, January 30 at 11:59 pm

Interested students should see the full details of the application requirements and apply within SAFE.

Although IRB approval is not required at the time of application, applicants should be in the process (with their advisor as PI) of seeking IRB approval. IRB approval is required before funding will be dispersed. Questions about PRESS should be directed to Taylor Illa.

Michigan-Princeton Survey Defense Hackathon Invitation - 2/21

Posted 1/9/2026

You're invited to participate in the inaugural one-day, fully remote Michigan–Princeton Survey Defense Hackathon.

Can we trust opinion polls in the era of AI bots? This event brings undergraduate and graduate students together to study how AI-powered bots interact with online surveys and to develop practical defenses.

Participants are assigned to one of two roles:
• Offense teams: build survey-interacting bots using web automation and AI tools
• Defense teams: design and test bot-detection and mitigation strategies

The hackathon takes place on Saturday, February 21, 2026. Structured pre-event preparation ensures the day itself is focused and productive. Participants will be most successful if they have some basic coding experience.

Learn more details about this event.

Students from any institution may apply individually or in small teams via a short intake survey.
