The Consortium of Social Science Associations (COSSA) is a nonprofit advocacy organization based in Washington, DC, dedicated to promoting and advancing the social and behavioral sciences in federal policymaking. COSSA serves as a united voice for organizations, institutions, communities, and stakeholders who are passionate about fostering a successful and vibrant social science research enterprise. Their policy experts collaborate with a wide network of advocates to ensure sustainable federal funding for social and behavioral science research and to encourage the widespread utilization of these sciences in policymaking.
COSSA works closely with professional associations, scientific societies, research centers and institutes, U.S. colleges and universities, and private sector partners to elevate the profile of social and behavioral science research. Through their efforts, COSSA aims to create an environment that supports the incorporation of lived experiences into health research and to protect science funding in the fiscal year 2024. They also organize events such as Social Science Advocacy Day to engage stakeholders and raise awareness about the importance of social and behavioral sciences in shaping public policies.
