How does federal policy affect me as a student, educator, researcher, or clinician?
Each year, hundreds of bills are introduced and considered by Congress that affect you, your work, issues that concern you, and your community – from elementary schools to universities, from health care training to provision of services, and from scientific research to integrating research into health care services. PPO works with policymakers to ensure that the voices of students, researchers, educators, and clinicians are heard. If you or your institutions receive federal funding through student aid, research grants, or other federally-administered programs, your funding and program’s policies may be affected by changes to federal laws and regulations. The most effective means of getting psychology’s message to your Representative and Senators is through grassroots advocacy.
