We support research-based practice because we want to bring our research findings into the everyday practice of psychology. We support practice-informed research because we want to attack real-world problems, not problems of interest only to other academics.This dual focus has inspired our faculty to conduct research on topics ranging from what makes people happy to what keeps planes from crashing into one another. Members of our faculty have served on task forces, national committees (e.g., National Academy of Sciences, the Federal Aviation Administration), and advisory boards (e.g., the Air Force, the Guggenheim Foundation).The importance and quality of the work we do have been recognized by government agencies, industries and foundations that have provided more than $24.5 million in support for our research work. We count among our current and emeritus faculty eight presidents of Divisions of the American Psychological Association, and a president of the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society.
