Working with the behavioral and social scientists across the NIH, OBSSR has identified and stimulated emerging behavioral and social science research (BSSR) areas highly relevant to the NIH mission. To celebrate this anniversary year, this festival will highlight NIH supported researchers who are leaders in the field and have made impactful long-term contributions to BSSR. Presenters were selected from nominations made by the various NIH Institutes for high-impact researchers in BSSR.
