Episode Topic: Evaluating Impact
As service providers around the country take on poverty in all its complexity, too little is known about what is working and why. Notre Dame’s Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO) helps service providers apply scientific evaluation methods to better understand and share effective poverty interventions. Join LEO’s Senior Associate Director of Policy and Impact Rachel Fulcher Dawson as she uncovers LEO’s unique approach to improving the lives of the most vulnerable members of our communities, as well as hear from a panel of poverty researchers and providers.
Hosted by King County (Seattle, WA) & The Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities at Notre Dame, Evidence Matters is a series of virtual events designed to engage and inspire community partners, researchers, and policymakers as they work together tackling the biggest issues those in poverty face. This partnership pairs top researchers with passionate leaders in the social service sector to conduct impact evaluations that identify the innovative, effective, and scalable programs and policies that help people move permanently out of poverty.
