Body
View the webcast here

In January 2019, President Trump enacted the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act, which Congress passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. The new law allows for major reforms to federal evaluation policies in the coming years. Agencies are expected to expand their capacity for engaging in program evaluation, including by designating evaluation officers, developing learning agendas, producing annual evaluation plans, and enabling a workforce to conduct evaluations. Join experts from across federal agencies to learn strategies for effectively implementing the Evidence Act’s evaluation provisions and why these provisions matter for the American public.
