GSA connects federal policymakers with research findings and scientific insights to inform policy decisions. It builds strong relationships with diverse coalitions and organizations and equips individuals with tools to become effective advocates.

GSA’s nonpartisan public policy institute, the National Academy on an Aging Society, conducts and compiles research on population aging and shares it with the public, media, policymakers, and the academic community.
