As a centerpiece of the Year of Evidence for Action, launched at the White House Summit on Evidence for Action, the Biden-Harris Administration is co-hosting a series of events – The Evidence Forums – over the course of the year with non-profits and academic organizations to co-develop concrete strategies for mobilizing research-based evidence that can make life healthier, safer, more equitable, and more prosperous for the American public.
These organizations have demonstrated expertise in translating research evidence to practice and policy, and include: the Data Foundation; the Evidence-to-Impact Collaborative at the Pennsylvania State University; the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy at the University of Illinois-Chicago and the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability; Pew Charitable Trusts; the Policy Lab at Brown University; Results for America; Stanford Impact Labs and the Urban Institute.
The Evidence Forums will contribute to advancing the goals of the Year of Evidence of Action to;
- Share leading practices from Federal agencies to generate and use research-backed knowledge to advance better, more equitable outcomes for all of America;
- Strengthen and develop new strategies and structures to promote consistent evidence-based decision-making inside the Federal Government; and
- Increase connection and collaboration among researchers, knowledge producers, and decision makers inside and outside of the Federal Government.
Please check back for updates on upcoming events.
