News and Reports
News & Reports is the Evidence Act Hub's dynamic section tracking ongoing developments in federal evidence-building capacity and implementation of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act. This section highlights announcements about updates to agencies’ strategic documents (such as learning agendas, evaluation plans, and open data plans etc.), personnel changes (such as new designations of Chief Data Officers and Evaluation Officers), new guidance from the White House, and significant policy shifts affecting evidence infrastructure. This page serves as the primary source for time-sensitive information about the state of federal data and evidence activities.
The section is also home to reports from Data Foundation staff and fellows. These include:
|
Rapid response reports that provide timely information on changes to federal data and evidence infrastructure, such as the monthly Evidence Capacity Pulse Report series and 2025 Shutdown RIF Impacts Tracker.
|
Surveys on federal capacity and progress in implementing evidence infrastructure, such as the Chief Data Officer survey series and the Evaluation Officer survey series.
|
Publications reflecting on the Evidence Act’s implementation across different sectors of government, such as in agency learning agendas, or in education and workforce data.
