Priority Challenges for Social and Behavioral Research and Its Modeling

by Paul K. Davis, Katharine Sieck, Osonde A Osoba, et al.

Modeling and simulation, if well rooted in social-behavioral (SB) science, can inform planning about some of the most vexing national problems of our day. Unfortunately, the current state of SB modeling and related analysis is not yet up to the job. This report diagnoses the problems, identifies the challenges, and recommends ways to move ahead so that SB modeling will be more powerfully useful for aiding decisionmaking.
