Solving Public Management Challenges Through Independent Thought Leadership and In-Depth Analysis

Established in 1967, the Academy responds to requests for assistance from Congress; federal agencies; and state, local, and international government entities on issues of importance. As a Congressionally-chartered non-partisan 501(c)3 nonprofit, we also provide thought leadership that advances the field of public administration through the work of our research staff and nearly 1,000 elected Fellows.

Rewriting the rules: What's happening to public science?

The current administration has upended the longstanding relationship between the federal government and scientific research, including through targeted cuts to research funding, dismantling advisory committees, and proposing that all research be reviewed by political appointees. This webinar will explore the impact of these changes; how scientists and the public can respond; and how the public can know what scientific information to trust when politics and science are intertwined.
