Evidence Capacity Pulse Reports

Tracking America's Evidence Capacity

The Data Foundation manages key initiatives and provides objective analysis tracking how public and private sector activities impact the nation's ability to collect, analyze, and evaluate government program effectiveness. The Data Foundation's SAFE-Track portal and #MyDataStory initiative are ongoing efforts to help all stakeholders understand the evolving landscape of federal evidence infrastructure.

Every month, the Data Foundation releases Evidence Capacity Pulse Reports on the patterns emerging in America's evidence-building capacity in both the public and private sectors. By taking information gathered through confidential SAFE-Track submissions, Data Foundation research, and engagement with our community, we are providing objective analysis that seeks to help all stakeholders understand the evolving landscape of federal evidence infrastructure.

Resources from the Community

The Data Foundation recognizes that we are not alone in monitoring these changes. We are committed to sharing resources, methodologies, and findings with other partners across the community who are also tracking developments in federal evidence infrastructure. This collaborative approach will help ensure the most comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape. The Data Foundation is aware of the following initiatives related to "data rescue” efforts and tracking ongoing administrative decisions and impacts to the data and evidence ecosystem:
