This book tells the story of how the Obama administration planned
and enacted several initiatives to fund social programs based on
rigorous evidence of success and thereby created a fundamental
change in the role of evidence in federal policymaking. Using
interviews with the major players from the White House, the Office
of Management and Budget, federal agencies, Congress, and the child
advocacy community, the authors detail the development and
implementation of six evidence-based social policy initiatives by
the Obama administration. The initiatives range widely over
fundamental issues in the nation's social policy including
preschool and K-12 education, teen pregnancy, employment and
training, health, and community-based programs. These initiatives
constitute a revolution in the use of social science evidence to
guide federal policymaking and the operation of federal grant
programs. A fascinating story for everyone interested in politics
and policy, this book also provides a blueprint for policymakers
worldwide who are interested in expanding the use of evidence in
policy.
