Mark your calendars to attend the most important prevention science conference–the Society for Prevention Research (SPR) 31st Annual Meeting held in person May 30 – June 2, 2023. This year’s theme is “The Role of Prevention Science in Achieving Social Justice and Health Equity for All.”
The Society for Prevention Research envisions a wellness-oriented society in which evidenced-based programs and policies are continuously applied to improve the health and well-being of its citizens, fostering positive human development and citizens who lead productive lives in caring relationships with others.
The SPR Annual Meeting provides a unique opportunity to advance this vision by providing a centrally integrated forum for the exchange of new concepts, methods, and results from prevention research and related public health fields; and by providing a forum for the communication between scientists, public policy leaders and practitioners concerning the implementation of evidence-based preventive interventions in all areas of public health.
Attend the National Institute of Justice National Research Conference! This conference will take place from May 23-25th, 2023 in Arlington Virginia.

Social Science Advocacy Day brings together social and behavioral scientists and science advocates from across the country to engage with policymakers in Congress about issues important to our community, such as federal funding. You will be teamed up with advocates from your home state and participate in a day of in-person meetings (Tuesday, April 25) with House and Senate offices on Capitol Hill. Through these meetings, your will share reasons why federal government support for social and behavioral science research is so critical and discuss how you and your institution can be helpful to your elected officials. Advocates will be given all the resources they need to have successful meetings, including a preparatory seminar on Monday, April 24, and all of your meetings will be scheduled for you. The only thing you need to do is come to Washington prepared to talk about why you ❤ social and behavioral science!
This fun, informative event is a must for anyone within the social and behavioral science community who cares about sustainable funding for our fields and who believe research should help inform sound public policy.
WHY should I participate?
This year promises to be a challenging one with a split Congress (Republicans leading the House, Democrats leading the Senate) and a new majority in the House of Representatives determined to make significant budget cuts government-wide. Funding for federal agencies and programs that support social and behavioral science research is never guaranteed, and that is especially try this year. COSSA needs all social scientists to lend their voices in support of funding for social and behavioral science research programs.

n 2023, we find our conference located in what was–for many Americans–the start of an awakening of a new consciousness of the enduring and evolving legacies of structural inequality in the United States. The murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and the events that followed, (re)opened critical conversations that sociologists have been leading for decades. These conversations, and their implications, have not taken place solely in the classroom–we have seen these critical conversations about structural violence applied to community organizing, policy change, program evaluation, organizational leadership, and other levels. With the rise in social media and other platforms for knowledge sharing from community leaders, advocates and activists, members of the academy have been exposed to a diverse set of critical thinkers and doers, who offer key insights about and solutions to many of the core sociological questions. More often than not, however, these parallel conversations–community and academic–do not join together to co-create solutions. This conference, held in a city still recovering from the deaths of Daunte Wright, George Floyd, and countless unknown others, offers an opportunity for MSS members to discuss the future of community-engaged/partnered learning and research and the ways in which we use our roles as sociologists to support epistemic justice.
