The status quo

Social and education interventions have as much potential for good or harm as health interventions – or more.

An evidence renaissance? • "First, more money is proposed for promoting the adoption of
programs and practices that generate results backed up by strong evidence [the "top tier"].
• Second, for an additional group of programs with some supportive evidence but not as much, additional resources are allocated on the condition that the programs will be rigorously evaluated going forward. Over time, the Administration anticipates that some of these programs will move to the top tier, but if not their funds will be directed to other, more promising efforts.
• Third, the approach encourages agencies to innovate and to test ideas with strong potential—ideas supported by preliminary research findings or reasonable hypotheses.“
