In this report, we present a framework for developing evidence-building plans and describe the experiences of evaluation leaders from seven agencies who delivered presentations in the HHS ASPE-sponsored webinar series from July to August 2019. The report summarizes the steps for developing evidence-building plans and highlights lessons learned for those interested in or currently developing such a plan. The report describes: 1) infrastructure and processes to support data collection and analysis, including the development of an evidence-building plan; 2) the approaches that federal agencies participating in the HHS ASPE webinar series used when implementing their learning agendas; 3) lessons learned from these early experiences; and 4) recommendations for future work and exploration in understanding the use of evidence-based planning and approaches in federal agencies and other organizations.
To solve their most pressing challenges, organizations turn to Mathematica for deeply integrated expertise. We bring together subject matter and policy experts, data scientists, methodologists, and technologists who work across topics and sectors to help our partners design, improve, and scale evidence-based solutions.
