The EPI Center is bringing scientific evidence on key public issues to decision-makers in a way that is timely, clear, and actionable. 

Our team provides information on key issues to help shape debate and serve as a resource for policymakers who have questions about where to go for scientific insights.

The AAAS Center for Scientific Evidence in Public Issues (EPI Center) makes it easier for policymakers and other decision-makers to access scientific evidence and information and then integrate that evidence into their decision-making process.

The members of the Advisory Council made significant contributions to conceiving and launching the Center for Scientific Evidence in Public Policy (EPI Center). The Advisory Council continues to ensure the independence, quality, objectivity and non-partisanship of the EPI Center’s work.
