| Organization Description | Evidence‐based criteria are often used to evaluate and increase funding for public programs (e.g. Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV), i3, Workforce Innovation Fund, etc.); however, this criteria and protocol currently varies widely at the state and federal levels, thus inhibiting efficient policy-making and implementation. Avance has brought together an independent and nonpartisan task force with expertise in policy, advocacy, research, and program delivery to make recommendations for effectively streamlining and standardizing the process for service delivery programs to meet evidence-based standards at both the state and federal levels, with an emphasis on maintaining rigor, to ultimately expand the reach and impact of two-generation programs. |
