OPRE’s Evidence Capacity Framework outlines five key dimensions of capacity: Evidence Culture, Evidence Infrastructure, Engagement, Human Capital, and Leadership. Examples of evidence capacity-building activities include learning agenda development; performance measurement design or improvement; analyzing administrative data and conducting targeted collection of data to answer operational questions; and providing training and technical assistance on evidence-related topics such as rapid cycle evaluation and continuous quality improvement. -The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) administers the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program in collaboration with ACF, which oversees the Tribal MIECHV program. The Tribal MIECHV program provides grants to tribes, tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate home visiting programs in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The MIECHV Program carries out a continuous program of research and evaluation activities in order to increase knowledge about the implementation and effectiveness of home visiting programs. OPRE, in collaboration with HRSA and with the Tribal MIECHV program, oversees a majority of the MIECHV-funded research and evaluation projects. +Many OPRE projects support the development of evidence capacity within ACF and among its grant recipients.

ACF’s goals related to data governance are to make data more usable, accessible, and protected to meet the operational and evidence-building data governance needs of ACF; meet the operational and evidence-building data governance needs of ACF offices; and promote the reuse of ACF data for evidence-building purposes at the state, local, tribal, territory, and grant recipient levels. -The home visiting field has engaged in research and evaluation for decades, generating a rich literature on the effects of home visiting. Studies have found home visiting impacts on child development, school readiness, family economic self-sufficiency, maternal health, reductions in child maltreatment, child health, positive parenting practices, juvenile delinquency, family violence, and crime. While effects have varied across studies, overall, the research indicates that home visiting has had modest benefits for families on average. However, there are still significant gaps in our understanding—and even more still to learn if we want to keep improving the effectiveness and efficiency of services.
