While Members of Congress and their staff are highly educated and experienced, Members and Committees and their staffs have limited time and resources to produce their own evidence quickly on the range of topics they must master. As a result, they must rely on evidence produced by others, including the Congressional Research Service, lobbyists and think tanks. While there is no shortage of information, curating reliable expertise in a timely fashion and translating expert information into useful formats remain a challenge and there exists a mismatch between the supply of available information and data from the broader research community and the needs of the lawmaking process that, if addressed, could help to improve the evidentiary basis of lawmaking. This conversation will focus on how Congress can exchange with researchers to provide evidentiary support around problems that Congress has already identified as priorities or to bring important problems to legislators’ attention.
