Biography

As Family Impact Seminar (FIS) Advisor and Policy Associate in the Evidence-to-Impact Collaborative’s Research Translation Platform, Stephanie Eddy oversees implementation of the FIS model, a state level research-to-policy outreach series including seminar events and corresponding briefs. She trains and supports state seminar directors as they develop teams of legislative advisors, plan, and execute the seminar model in their own state capitals. She also assists broadly across the Platform’s Research-to-Policy initiatives, blending the training from her background in community psychology and work as a state legislative staff member, to inform the creation and sustainability of collaborative spaces in the research and policy communities.
