The Federation promotes human potential and well-being by advancing the sciences of mind, brain, and behavior. As a coalition of scientific societies, we communicate with policy makers and the public about the importance and contributions of basic and applied research in these sciences.
NOTE: The Federation's Council of Repre-sentatives recently voted to change the name of the organization to the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences. We are in the process of updating our website and other materials. What Is the Federation? The Federation is a dues-supported coalition of Member Organizations, Academic Affiliates (including university departments and regional psychological associations), and Corporate Affiliates. We represent the interests of scientists who conduct research in the mind, brain, and behavior sciences, focusing our efforts on advocacy, education, and the communication of information to scientists.
