About the Lecture Series
Policies designed to solve societal problems are not often supported by rigorous research evidence. Yet professional training in the social and behavioral sciences does not generally prioritize the innovation, evaluation, and (importantly) implementation of scalable policy solutions. Using a variety of creative research designs, social and behavioral scientists have begun to study the research-to-policy pipeline, identifying practices that increase the probability that research-backed policy solutions will be implemented at scale. In this virtual lecture series, faculty from College and University Fund member institutions share their work to understand how to pursue research that solves problems.
