OPRE Evaluation - Building Evidence on Employment Strategies for Low-Income Families (BEES) [Impact, implementation, and descriptive studies]

The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) has funded the Building Evidence on Employment Strategies (BEES) study. BEES will include separate studies of up to 21 programs (or “sites”) aimed at improving employment outcomes and economic security for low-income individuals and families. OMB initially approved data collection instruments for this project on November 8, 2019. Since approval, BEES has begun formally planning evaluations with some programs while continuing recruitment of additional programs. This request is to make minor updates to the standard Baseline Information Form and to tailor versions of the form that will be used for five individual BEES studies (seven total sites). The BEES Study Team plans to launch five RCT studies this upcoming January and February 2021, with a total of seven sites.

The latest form for OPRE Evaluation - Building Evidence on Employment Strategies for Low-Income Families (BEES) [Impact, implementation, and descriptive studies] expires 2022-11-30 and can be found here.
