This award updates the Correlates of War Project Militarized Interstate Dispute (MID) data set through 2001. Such an effort is critical for international conflict research, but the enterprise of updating this collection is a monumental one that is beyond the scope or resources of any single researcher. Consequently this is a collaborative effort, linking scholars at eleven different universities to complete the task in a systematic and timely fashion. The MID data set has been at the forefront on international conflict research over the past decade or more. This data set is the most frequently used in conflict research and MID data has been employed to explore a staggering breadth of topics in international relations research, including most of those central to contemporary scholarly debates. Furthermore, MID data are the basis for several other data projects in the discipline as well as highly compatible with a range of other data compilations, thereby facilitating the combination of data sets and the exploration of broader sets of theoretical questions.Updating the Militarized Interstate Dispute data set requires completion of the following major steps: 1) collect and document militarized incidents from a variety of sources. This entails searching global, regional, and national sources for indications of a threat, display, or use of force by one state against another; 2) checking, archiving, and documenting the incidents collected to insure consistency, completeness, and absence of duplication; 3) composing militarized disputes based on the collected incidents and additional research as necessary. Because disputes are conflict episodes, such things as starting and ending dates, secondary participants, stages of escalation, overall fatalities, method of settlement, and general outcome must be determined. A short narrative description of each dispute is also prepared; 4) checking, archiving, and documenting disputes in order to insure such things as conformity with coding rules, compatibility with documentation standards, internal consistency, and absence of duplication; 5) resolving issues that arise concerning coding procedures, documentation requirements, problem cases, and the like; and, 6) preparing a final version (3.0) of the data set for distribution via the world wide web. This requires the resolution of a few problems that have been found in the present version (2.1) before it can be merged with the 1993-2001 data.This is a major infrastructure project for the Political Science program and enables the updating of a data set that will be used by numerous scholars in international relations and comparative politics.

该奖项更新了战争项目的相关性军事化州际争端（MID）在2001年设定的数据。这项工作对于国际冲突研究至关重要，但是更新此集合的企业是一个巨大的，它超出了任何单个研究者的范围或资源。 因此，这是一项协作的努力，将十一所不同大学的学者联系起来，以系统和及时的方式完成任务。 在过去的十年或更长时间以来，数据集在国际冲突研究方面一直处于最前沿。 该数据集是冲突研究中最常使用的数据集，并且已经采用了MID数据来探索国际关系研究中惊人的主题广度，其中包括大多数当代学术辩论的中心。 Furthermore, MID data are the basis for several other data projects in the discipline as well as highly compatible with a range of other data compilations, thereby facilitating the combination of data sets and the exploration of broader sets of theoretical questions.Updating the Militarized Interstate Dispute data set requires completion of the following major steps: 1) collect and document militarized incidents from a variety of sources. 这需要搜索全球，区域和国家来源，以表明一个国家对另一个国家对武力的威胁，表现或使用武力； 2）检查，存档和记录收集的事件，以确保一致性，完整性和不重复； 3）根据收集的事件和必要的其他研究组成军事争议。 由于争议是冲突事件，因此必须确定诸如开始和结束日期，次要参与者，升级阶段，整体死亡，解决方法和一般结果之类的事情。 还准备了每个争端的简短叙述； 4）检查，归档和记录争议，以确保符合编码规则，符合文档标准，内部一致性和不存在重复的内容； 5）解决有关编码程序，文档要求，问题案例等问题的问题； 6）准备通过万维网分发的数据集的最终版本（3.0）。 这就要求解决当前版本（2.1）中发现的一些问题，然后才能将其与1993-2001数据合并。这是政治科学计划的主要基础设施项目，并能够更新数据集，该数据集将在国际关系和比较政治中使用许多学者。
