“…Furthermore, we must work to retain faculty of color by fixing the “leaky pipeline” (APSA Task Force 2004; Evans and Moulder 2011; Monforti and Michelson 2008). A disproportionate number of women and people of color leave the discipline due to various problems, including gendered and racial disparities in likelihood of promotion (Mershon and Walsh 2015), salary disparities (Ginther 2004; Henehan and Sarkees 2009), job and professional satisfaction (Hesli and Lee 2013), experiences with discrimination (Hesli 2013; Novkov and Barclay 2010), and hostile climates in research and teaching (Alexander-Floyd 2008; Mathews and Andersen 2001). In short, our field tacitly perpetuates the same underlying systemic inequalities and biases that plague our society.…”

Lyndon State College's (LSC) participation in the America's Future Initiative on the U.S. national debt, in association with Public Agenda, began with a grant application for funding to participate. After being awarded funding, as the sole political scientist, I was selected with approval by the administration to attend the September 11 to 13, 2008, opening conference in Washington, DC. Flying into Washington, DC, on September 11 surely was a sign of commitment. At the conference, participants were schooled on the initiative by George Mehaffy of the American Democracy Project, Andrew Yarrow of Public Agenda, the Concord Coalition's Diane Rogers, and Stuart Butler from the Heritage Foundation. As a political scientist, I was well-aware of much of what was presented, but to hear differing perspectives and review the data and presentation materials was an excellent experience.

“…This is a long-standing issue that has been discussed at length in many venues. In PS , our colleagues have written about the racial climate in political science and the challenges that scholars of color—particularly junior scholars—may encounter while pursuing this path (Alexander-Floyd 2008; Lavariega Monforti and Michelson 2008; Preston and Woodard 1984; Sinclair-Chapman 2019). The underrepresentation of scholars of color, coupled with the climate we may face, has left many without invaluable mentorship and support within their own departments.…”

Since its initial founding, PRIEC has expanded to include researchers outside of California and has coordinated more than 50 meetings at 25 different institutions across the country featuring research by more than 200 scholars. PRIEC has now convened at University-to name a few. In response to growing demand, PRIEC meetings also have increased from three to six or seven per year.The overwhelming interest in PRIEC outside of California was confirmed recently at Michigan State University (MSU), where Nazita Lajevardi and Eric Gonzalez Juenke coordinated and managed a one-day meeting consisting of five panels, 26 presentations, and a poster session with 16 posters. Panel presentations were brief and were conducted "Five-Minute-Fiesta" style, 1 including 30 minutes of Q&A for each panel. The afternoon poster session was a roaming happy hour; each poster was assigned a senior scholar as a discussant who commented on the poster in depth. The evening concluded with a dinner at Lajevardi's home. Together, 75 participants from the REP community at MSU, Michigan broadly, the Midwest, and California attended the one-day meeting (figure 1 is a photograph of participants). To promote their attendance, outof-state participants were offered between $150 and $300 of support to offset travel costs. Similar to the support occasionally offered by hosts at other institutions, this funding came from PRIEC, the organizers' personal research accounts, Chicano Latino Studies at MSU, and the political science department at MSU. The MSU meeting is illustrative of PRIEC's commitment to inclusivity, mentoring, and addressing pipeline challenges.The benefits of attending and hosting a PRIEC meeting are numerous for REP scholars and for their universities more broadly. In addition to creating a welcoming space for junior scholars to access professionalization and mentorship opportunities, PRIEC meetings provide numerous public goods to a university as a whole. For instance, hosting a PRIEC meeting increases the national recognition of a university; supports a university's diversity and inclusion goals; and provides professional development for assistant professors, graduate students, and even undergraduate students. PRIEC meetings also support faculty of color (who often are REP scholars) and foster a community of race scholars in their own as well as nearby universities. n
