Notes
[1] The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 ("Evidence Act”) emphasizes collaboration and coordination to advance data and evidence-building functions in the Federal Government. Title I of the Evidence Act mandates a number of activities related to evidence building and evaluation; other titles focus on open government data and confidential information protection and statistical efficiency. The Annual Evaluation Plan describes the significant evaluations the Department will conduct in each fiscal year, many of which are conducted by NIJ.Learn more about the U.S. Department of Justice activities in response to the Evidence Act.
