What is Institutional Membership?
APPAM membership ensures that you and your students or colleagues are on the cutting edge of policy analysis and management issues that affect all policy scholars.
APPAM is dedicated to improving public policy and management by fostering excellence in research, analysis, and education. Founded in 1979, APPAM hosts annual research conferences, publishes a top academic journal, presents several achievement awards, administers fellowships for underrepresented students and new professionals, and creates networks of scholars, students, and institutions to foster engagement and the exchange of information.
Be part of this vibrant and active community! Below you will find additional information on the many benefits an APPAM institutional membership has to offer. You can also download this Institutional Member Infographic (PDF) to share with your institution.
Institutional Member Benefits
Institutional membership with APPAM provides opportunities for professional development, education, resources, a sense of community, and more. Institutional members have access to APPAM's top tier offerings and several complimentary discounts. Additionally, institutional members are offered exclusive benefits at our Annual Fall Research Conference. See below for more details on benefits.
Professional Development
Awards: APPAM offers prestigious awards that recognize excellence in policy research of multiple areas including those only available for Institutional Members including the PhD Dissertation Award and the three Equity & Inclusion Fellowship cohorts.
APPAM Career Connections: The recently-updated APPAM Career Connections boasts a clean look with updated features for the best experience for job seekers and employers alike. Career Connections hosts only relevant resumes and job postings, making the process less saturated and easier to find both jobs and employees. Institutional Members are able to post jobs at no cost by using our special member discount code.
Institutional Member Forums: Exclusive to Institutional Members, APPAM offers members the opportunity to host an Institutional Member Forum. APPAM and the Institutional Member work together to co-host an event around a relevant policy topic at the institution free of charge to attendees.
Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM): Institutional Members receive a complimentary subscription to JPAM. This includes digital access to JPAM Online with additional search and advanced article release features, which is accessible from individual member profiles and the institutional representative's profile.

Community of Peers
APPAM Communities: Propose a new APPAM Community group or serve as a chair for an existing Community. These groups meet virtually and in-person based on an element or idea such as religion, research type, geography and more. These Communities provide invaluable opportunity for connection and we encourage leadership within Institutional Members.
E-Lists: APPAM strives to provide our members with access to a broad collection of tools, content, practical resources, and a smart and vibrant community of peers via the E-List Member Forum Communities. These groups serve as a platform to solicit the advice of your peers, benefit from their experience, and participate in ongoing conversations.
Membership Directory: This members-only institutional and individual member database allows you to search for colleagues based on location, research topic, and member type. Did you meet someone at the last conference you attended? Many members build future research collaborations by connecting via the directory.
Voting and Nominations: The Committee of Institutional Members elects one person to the Policy Council each year. Institutional Members can also nominate students for various APPAM opportunities and awards throughout the year.
Westat's APPAM institutional membership has been a tremendous source of value to our organization. Through APPAM, we are part of a strong community of experts-researchers, practitioners, and peer organizations-working to improve people's lives through the impact of public policy. We benefit not only from APPAM's professional network, but also the opportunities to drive engagement with our work and mission that are available to institutional members. I served as APPAM's Institutional Representatives Chair for two years and during that time, I became even more engaged in the organization and saw up close all the good APPAM does. I am proud to be part of this great group of people doing meaningful work.

Membership Dues & How to Join
APPAM defines an institutional member to be an entire organization, or any specific unit within an organization that might pay the annual institutional dues. Multiple units within an organization may join as institutional members so that they are listed individually in the Membership Directory, have their own representative, and own membership benefits.
Please note that institutional membership does not include individual membership benefits for all persons employed at an APPAM institutional member. To enjoy individual membership benefits, the institution must set up the complimentary memberships, or an individual can join as a professional member.
Institutional Membership: $2,500/year
Please email membership@appam.org with any questions or to renew your Institutional Membership.
Thank you to our current institutional members!
