2017 Fall Research Conference Submissions
This conference, will focus on the importance of data and measurement, and celebrate the government staff who work to improve the measures we use every day. At recent Fall Conferences, we have heard about the importance of using evidence and research in policy making; focusing on data and measurement is the next step.
We hope that submissions will stress the importance of measurement in public policy analysis, discuss how data are used to evaluate policy and performance, and demonstrate how different data or measures affect results. We encourage submissions that examine new data (e.g., “Big data”), new uses for current survey data, and the integration of both survey and administrative data.
To address these issues, we are currently soliciting proposals for single papers, panels, roundtables, and posters until April 5, 2017. Submissions for the conference are now being accepted here.
More information about the 2017 APPAM Fall Research Conference, including the submission process and descriptions of the 15 policy areas, can be found here.
