Grants to this Grantee
for the Transforming Evidence Network Conference and Transforming Evidence Funders Network meeting
The Pew Charitable Trusts is an independent nonprofit organization that draws on research and analysis to improve public policy, inform the public, and invigorate civic life. This grant supports the continuation and expansion of the Evidence Project, which will formalize a research funders’ network. The network cultivates information-sharing and collaboration between funders in fields such as education, health, international development, and environment to fill knowledge and resource gaps in the evidence-use arena. The goals of the network are to (a) facilitate learning between funders, (b) coordinate efforts and funding to identify and make progress on critical needs for the field, and (c) grow the field of evidence use and inspire more funders to support evidence initiatives. This grant supports the organization of the 2024 Transforming Evidence Network Conference and Transforming Evidence Funders Network meeting, to be held consecutively from November 19-22 in Cape Town, South Africa.
