APSA's headquarters at 1527 New Hampshire Avenue NW in Washington, DC is a historic structure that was the home of Harry Garfield , son of assassinated U.S. President James Garfield . It includes the Centennial Center for Political Science and Public Affairs, which provides conference and research space for scholars, and periodically sponsors seminars and events for political scientists, policy makers, the media, and the general public.
APSA presents many awards each year, including the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for "the best book on government, politics, or international affairs." Sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation at Princeton University , it includes a cash prize of $5,000.
