| Abstract: Behavior analysis is a critical element of the federal scientific ecosystem that supports pathways from fundamental research to real world impacts on the most pressing societal challenges including health, climate, and education. Many researchers and practitioners struggle to navigate the complicated and overwhelming federal policy making landscape. Fortunately, ABAI is a member of the Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (FABBS) a DC based coalition that works to represent our disciplines in Washington, DC and serve as a valuable resource for ABAI members interested in communicating their work to federal policymaking audiences. Attendees will learn about opportunities and challenges for our disciplines at key federal agencies and across the federal government and in Congress. |
| Instruction Level: Basic |
Learning Objectives: 1. Navigate the federal policy landscape.
2. Identify federal policy makers potentially interested in or could benefit from their research.
3. Have tools and resources to share their research more broadly. |
