About this project. The 2023 Fostering Policy-Relevant Psychological Research series of five webinars (with accompanying toolkits) aim to demystify the process of conducting policy-relevant research for those people who are a) already doing it, b) interested in doing it, and c) mentoring and evaluating others who are doing it. The series is being sponsored by APA Divisions 9 (The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, or SPSSI), 8 (The Society for Personality and Social Psychology), 27 (The Society for Community Research and Action), 35 (The Society for the Psychology of Women), 44 (The Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity), and 45 (The Society for the Psychological Study of Culture, Ethnicity and Race), with funding from the Committee on Division/APA Relations (CODAPAR). Our goal is to enhance psychologists’ knowledge and skills in the broad domain of policy and practice implications of psychological research.
