Evidence-Based Policy
Driving Impact through Evidence
The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act was signed into law to encourage the use of concrete, data-backed evidence to inform decision making on federal policy and programming. To fully deploy and realize the benefits of evidence-based policymaking, the federal government and agencies require additional resources and support to advance their use and uptake of data to drive policy outcomes.
The Day One Project is working directly with leaders across federal agencies to identify opportunities to further the use of evidence, improve systems to support access and integration of data and data systems, and explore impactful pathways to fortify and strengthen the federal workforce tasked with leading the implementation of the Evidence Act.
Through a series of initiatives, we hope to surface impactful policy ideas and drive progress on implementation in partnership with federal agencies and leaders.
