Share Your Story: Impact of Executive Actions and Policies on Social and Behavioral Science Research

Given current uncertainty about the future of the U.S. research enterprise, COSSA is collecting stories from the social and behavioral science community on how recent Executive Actions are affecting or have the potential to affect research and the scientific workforce. Your contributions will help the COSSA team as we share real-world, timely information with policymakers (e.g., Congress and federal agencies) about the impact these actions are having across the country.

Your responses will remain confidential, and any stories used by COSSA will be anonymized and used anecdotally. You may provide your name and contact information in the survey, which would only be used by COSSA staff to follow up with you about your story. You may also submit your story anonymously.

This activity is not limited to COSSA members. However, if your institution is not currently a COSSA member and you are interested in learning how to join and support COSSA’s efforts, email Wendy Naus at wnaus@cossa.org.
