FABBS, the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences, is a non-profit coalition of scientific societies focused on advancing the sciences of mind, brain, and behavior. The organization emphasizes understanding human factors across health care, conservation behavior, conflict, and economic decision-making as a means to improve individual and societal welfare. Based in Washington, DC, FABBS brings together researchers and related stakeholders to support basic biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research through advocacy, education, and collaboration. The target audience includes scientists, health care providers, and communities connected to mental and behavioral science, with recent initiatives such as launching the Friends of NIMH to align organizations around the National Institute of Mental Health’s mission. Over the years, FABBS has expanded its activities to publish policy-related content through its journal and related projects, and to recognize contributors through awards, reflecting its role within the broader field of behavioral and brain sciences.
