How can government better leverage scientific evidence in policymaking? Alan Gerber, director of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, will provide introductory remarks and set the stage for a conversation with Stuart Buck about the intersection of research funding, scientific evidence, and government policy-making led by Michelle Hahn, Deputy Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Tobin Center for Economic Policy. We'll explore the barriers to evidence-based policy, from misaligned incentives in research funding to the gap between academic findings and practical implementation.
