The Federal Evidence Act: What Local Government Can Learn The Podcast @ DC

- Notícias
On January 14, 2019, the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, also called the Evidence Act, was signed into law by the President. This new law emphasizes collaboration and coordination among Federal agencies to advance data and evidence-building functions. It also mandates new federal evidence-building activities, open government data, and confidential information protection. The Evidence Act represents an important step forward in how Federal agencies approach evidence-based policymaking, something we here at The Lab @ DC work hard toward in the District every single day.
To help us better understand this law and what DC could learn from the federal government’s new approach to evidence-building, in August 2019, we talked to Dr. Diana Epstein, the Evidence Team Lead at the Office of Management and Budget, or OMB, where Diana and her colleagues are working hard to start implementing the Evidence Act. We’re also joined by Jenny Reed, the Director of the DC Office of Budget and Performance Management, to talk about what DC is doing to promote evidence-based policymaking and where we may want to learn from the Evidence Act.
