National Institutes of Health Behavioral and Social Sciences Seminar SeriesThe Behavioral and Social Sciences Interest Group (BSS-IG) was organized in recognition of the centrality of behavioral and social science research to the NIH mission as well as the need to provide opportunities for collaboration and exchanges of information across ICDs and between intramural and extramural behavioral and social scientists. The BSS-IG's organizational meetings were held in December, 1995 and February, 1996 and resulted in its formation. The Interest Group functions mainly through its listserv and the BSSR lecture series. The NIH Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Coordinating Committee initiated the formation of this Interest Group, under the sponsorship of the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research. The Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Coordinating Committee (BSSR CC), with support from the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), convenes a series of guest lectures and symposia on selected topics in the behavioral and social sciences. These presentations by prominent behavioral and social scientists provide the NIH community with overviews of current research on topics of scientific and social interest. The lectures and symposia are approximately 50 minutes in length, with additional time for questions and discussion. All seminars are open to NIH staff and to the general public.
