#2017APPAM Student Session
RFP
APPAM is seeking to host a series of sessions specifically programmed for student member attendees throughout the 2017 Fall Research Conference on Thursday, November 2 – Saturday, November 4, 2017.
APPAM has held several of these sessions in the past on topics ranging from The Grant Writing Process, Tips for Getting Published, Policy Career Paths, and Data Visualization. In 2017, we wish to continue these sessions and are seeking requests for proposals from policy professionals and students to help us drive session content.
We invite all policy professionals and students to submit a session proposal(s) on topics of
interest to students such as resume tips and CV pointers, presentation skills, bridging the gap between graduate school and your policy career, and how to effectively communicate your research. Please review the session submission RFP here.
Proposals are encouraged to be original in design and attract a broad audience of about 20 - 40 students and newer professionals. A
ll submissions will be reviewed by and are subject to change by APPAM leadership. Proposals for student sessions are due no later than June 16, 2017. All questions and submissions should be directed to Tristanne Staudt.

JPAM Featured Article
"U.S. Child Safety Seat Laws: Are they Effective, and Who Complies?"
By: Lauren Jones, Ph.D. and Nicholas Ziebarth, Ph.D.
This article assesses the effectiveness of child safety seat laws in the US. Over the past 35 years, state laws have increased the age until which children are required to ride in child safety seats. The authors exploit state-child age level variation in the timing of these law changes to estimate triple difference models of the effect of the laws on restraint behavior and child fatalities. As part of our ongoing effort to promote JPAM authors to the APPAM membership and the public policy field at large, we have asked the authors to answer a few questions. See the authors' interview responses here.
