Abstract

As a former President of the Consortium of Social Science Associations (COSSA), I am very pleased to be a featured speaker on the contributions of social and behavioral research to public policy and to help celebrate the Consortium's twentieth anniversary. In my talk this afternoon, I want to address the important issue of expanding the domain of policy-relevant scholarship in the social sciences.
