The Scholars Strategy Network (SSN) is a national membership organization made up of college- and university-based researchers interested in improving policy and strengthening democracy. Founded in 2011 by Theda Skocpol, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Government and Sociology at Harvard University, SSN has grown into a network of over 2,000 researchers in 47 states. SSN members organize themselves into local chapters across the United States, working to advance the use of research wherever policy decisions are made - from city halls to state legislatures to Washington.
Features
To foster a nationwide culture where research regularly informs policy at every level, scholars must build strong, sustained relationships with policymakers, civic intermediaries, and journalists.
To do this, SSN:
Teaches public engagement best practices, with an emphasis on relationship building
Emphasizes the value of providing practical support to policy actors
Organizes scholars into chapters, cohorts, and issue-specific working groups
Helps scholars translate academic jargon into clear and compelling language for the media

Scholars.sg really stands out because it promotes knowledge sharing and democratic values. It’s not just about research it’s about impact, collaboration, and helping society move forward.

I recently finished my PhD and joined Scholars.sg to learn more about policy engagement. The workshops and examples are very useful. It’s a solid platform if you’re serious about making your research useful.

The community is really active and supportive. I attended one of their online sessions and found it eye-opening. It made me rethink how I present my ideas to people outside academia. Would love more frequent events.

I love how Scholars.sg helps researchers share their work in a way that actually matters. It’s great seeing academics get involved in real-world issues instead of just staying in classrooms. Fantastic initiative!

Bringing together researchers and policymakers is such a smart concept, and this organization does it perfectly. The content they share is always practical and inspiring.
