Overview
Results for America is helping policymakers at all levels of government harness the power of evidence and data to solve the world’s greatest challenges. Its mission is to make investing in what works the "new normal," so that when policymakers make decisions, they start by seeking the best evidence and data available, then use what they find to get better results. Over the next three years, Results for America is working to: (a) establish widely accepted "standards of excellence" for evidence-informed policymaking at all levels of government; (b) secure commitments and support for evidence-informed policymaking from the majority of influential policymakers; and (c) develop examples of successful implementation of evidence-informed policymaking across social issues and levels of government.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Results for America’s mission is to make investing in what works the "new normal," so that all government leaders use evidence and data to inform important policy and funding decisions that significantly increase the impact of the over $1 trillion that governments spend annually to address the needs of the most vulnerable Americans. Over the next three years, Results for America will: (a) mobilize policymakers to embrace the use of evidence and data; (b) promote the wide acceptance of "standards of excellence" for evidence-informed policymaking at all levels of government; and (c) help governments at all levels implement evidence-based policies, programs, and practices, and shift dollars to what works for more Americans.
for Results for All
Results for America helps policymakers at all levels of government use evidence and data to make and improve policies and outcomes for citizens. This planning grant will support the Results for All initiative of Results for America to develop practical tools and guidance for strengthening evidence use in government, and to explore strategic partnerships for bringing these tools to decision makers in low- and middle-income countries.
for Results for All
Results for America helps policymakers at all levels of government use evidence and data to make and improve policies and outcomes for citizens. This grant will support the Results for All program of Results for America to assess, develop, and test a strategy for a global evidence network for government officials. Through consultation with government representatives and other partners, Results for All will assess the demand and need for a global evidence network; identify the countries and relevant organizations to help launch the network; test potential network activities; and prepare a strategy for a potential future global evidence network.
