Conference Theme

Forging Collaborations for Transformative and Resilient Policy Solutions: 

Partnerships are critical for designing, implementing, and evaluating public policy, ensuring decisions are well-informed, inclusive, and adaptable. Involving diverse perspectives—from policymakers, researchers, businesses, and citizens—helps create efficient, fair policies that address complex societal challenges and build trust in public services. 

The 2025 APPAM Fall Research Conference will explore how collaborative evidence generation and evaluation can refine policies, address unintended consequences, and improve coordination across all levels of government for transformative, resilient solutions.
