Project Overview
Summary
This was an opportunity for state agencies to apply for funding to support a research partnership that would generate evidence needed to inform its policy-making, programming, and/or operations. To learn more about the process application - and to sign up for office hours to get help, if you're a current awardee - visit the North Carolina Evaluation Fund webpage.
In 2022, $1M was awarded to eight research projects related to the topics listed below (further details about projects and the partners involved can be found in this OSBM Press Release). Six Evaluation Fund grantees representing five state agencies with research partners from five North Carolina academic institutions and research organizations have published research design plans and analysis is underway.
