In the five years since the implementation of the Foundations for Evidence-based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act), a lot has changed. In response to the law’s mandate, cabinet-level federal agencies are developing, expanding, and incorporating evidence building activities into policy and budgetary decision making. As these processes have evolved, so have the tools that make them possible.
TIE contributor, Elsa Pearson Sites, recently wrote about the Evidence Act and the strength of evidence checklist developed by the Partnered Evidence-based Policy Resource Center (PEPReC) and used by the Veterans Health Administration. Earlier this month, PEPReC published a new brief exploring how the checklist has changed since its inception, how it has been deployed, and how it might be used in the future.

PEPReC, within the Veterans Health Administration and funded in large part by the Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI), is a team of health economists, health services and public health researchers, statistical programmers, and policy analysts who engage policymakers to improve Veterans’ lives through evidence-driven innovations using advanced quantitative methods.
