In an effort to improve access to credible social program evaluation research, the Laura and John Arnold Foundation is launching a new website called “Straight Talk on Evidence.” The new website aims to clarify often exaggerated evaluation study results for policy and program officials, researchers, journalists, and philanthropic funders to aid in decision making and improve the quality of distributed information. This important work seeks to instill in the evaluation research community a greater sense of accountability, in addition to providing further support for high quality research with genuinely reported results.
