The Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED) in Washington, DC has designed and is guiding ADD. The Center for Social Development (CSD) at Washington University in St. Louis has designed the evaluation" -- Executive Summary (p.[iii]).

"The evaluation of ADD is the first major study of IDAs.

This report includes information on IDA programs, participants, and saving patterns through June 30, 1998. Two more annual monitoring reports are planned, covering the periods through June 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001" -- (p.[iii]).

"The data for this report come from the Management Information System for Individual Development Accounts (MIS IDA), a software package and monitoring tool created and supported by CSD" p.[iii].
