Policy-Relevant Social and Behavioral Science: A Virtual Convening of the SSRC College and University Fund for the Social Sciences

Public and private funding organizations, state legislatures, and donors increasingly expect universities to produce socially impactful and policy-relevant research. However, publication and promotion incentives may undermine efforts to mobilize the social and behavioral science research community to pursue policy-relevant research. This series of virtual convenings is an opportunity for member institutions of the College and University Fund for the Social Sciences (CUF) to share what works–and what doesn’t–to mobilize social and behavioral science that is both policy-relevant and scientifically rigorous.

These virtual convenings are intended to be an opportunity for cross-institutional learning and networking across CUF member institutions, and we hope they will be highly interactive and conversational. Registration is only open to individuals associated with one of the current member institutions. If you’d like to be notified of upcoming events, please join our mailing list.
