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.

This event will feature SSRC President Anna Harvey in conversation with William Howell (University of Chicago's Center for Effective Government) and Cyrus Samii (New York University; Evidence in Governance and Politics network).
