Building and using evidence to better serve the public

OES makes government better by helping agencies build and use evidence to learn what works.

The Office of Evaluation Sciences (OES) is an interdisciplinary team that works across the federal government to help agencies build and use evidence. We partner with federal agencies to answer priority questions with rigorous evaluation methods and administrative data. We design and conduct evaluations of existing programs and evidence-based program changes.
