National Prevention Science Coalition to Improve Lives (NPSC)

To prevent social ills and promote wellbeing by translating scientific knowledge into effective and sustainable practices, systems and policies.

We are comprised of scientists (across disciplines), educators, community stakeholders, practitioners and clinicians, policy makers, advocates, and foundation representatives. We work in a nonpartisan manner with congressional offices and caucuses on issues such as poverty and juvenile justice where some are incorporating the evidence-based knowledge we convey in proposed legislation. Additionally, we work with federal agency administrators who advise us and incorporate Prevention Science in their work (e.g., NIH, SAMHSA, ONDCP, and CDC). We also collaborate with like-minded groups and national organizations and are working to expand on those partnerships.
