OSPB and the Governor's Operations team encourage departments to apply for a State and Local Innovation Initiative grant from J-PAL. The goal of the J-PAL State and Local Innovation Initiative is to support US state and local governments in using randomized evaluations to generate new and applicable lessons about which policies and programs work, which work best, and why.
OSPB has previously partnered with J-PAL to provide training to state agency staff on program evaluation. This grant is another opportunity to build department capacity to use data and evidence to improve decision making. The Governor's Office is happy to support grant applications from departments.
More information can be found here. Please contact Aaron Ray at the Governor's Office (aaron.ray@state.co.us) if you would like their support.
