We're excited to welcome @dan_litwok and @HannahBetesh to Kerwin Hall this weekend for their SPA Analytics & Management Institute Course "Implementing and Evaluating Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT)." Watch Dan and Hannah talk about the course, donuts & surprises. #SAMI

Don't miss @dan_litwok and @HannahBetesh's Analytics and Management Institute class this weekend! Read more below. 👇

What’s considered the gold standard of evidence-building? You got it, randomized controlled trials! We’re excited for @HannahBetesh & @dan_litwok, who’ll be teaching a class on implementing & evaluating #RCTs at @AU_SPA this weekend. abt.associates/3IEcd8N

Bring me all of your policy research career questions and angst Friday from 12-2 at #2023APPAM, I will be staffing the @abtassociates booth like this but MPP instead of doctor obviously. (Related: ask me about my favorite topic, masters-level career paths in policy research!).

If you’ll be at #2023APPAM, set up a time for a one-on-one chat with our experts in Research, Monitoring & Evaluation and Equity to gain invaluable insights for career success. Sign up for Abt’s Career Connections office hours: abt.associates/3Q2rGDA

In our latest @abtassociates blog my colleagues weigh in on an area we’re prioritising in our research: rebuilding our workforces to be more equitable post-COVID. Thanks @HannahBetesh, @SchwartzDeena & Radha Roy! #workforcedevelopment #inclusion #globaldev abtassociates.com/insights/persp…

#NAWRSWorkshop @NAWRSWorkshop Day 2! Our experts are eager to meet you at the booth or during one of our sessions. Here’s what’s on deck today: View our complete schedule: abt.associates/46vLSEg


This afternoon’s plenary on government-academic partnerships has the best line yet from @NAWRSWorkshop #NAWRS2023: “government agencies are not particularly known for being fast, but they’re still faster than publishing in academia.”

Do you thrive on collaborating with others working to connect research to practice?  Are you working to build the evidence base in human services?  Or are you applying evidence to the design of human services delivery?  If so, register now: cvent.me/40mqxw

One chart that shows in perfect clarity the effect of policy on poverty. SPM includes non-cash and post-tax gov transfers -- SNAP, Medicaid/CHIP, EITC, CTC -- that the official poverty measure leaves out. Poverty is a policy choice.

holy moly, child poverty rate rose from all-time low of 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% (!!!) in 2022, reflecting end of temporary child allowance and other programs.



“Real-world settings are contextually diverse, & the most relevant scientific questions must position answers to make sense within these contexts…rather than apart from them.” We have to *plan* to capture variations in barriers & facilitators so we understand why they vary.

Starting your #ImpSci research journey? Check out this article for expert tips on formulating research questions. A must-read for aspiring implementation scientists! #ImpSci101 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…



"[T]he kind of research use most people think of, wherein a piece of research helps someone solve a problem...is likely infrequent because problems are rarely simple & the available evidence rarely is a perfect match to the problem." ❤️this breakdown of other evidence use types!

Excited about the next blog in the evidence use series -- what if we broaden our lens on what it means to use evidence in the government? acf.hhs.gov/opre/blog/2023…



Yes, and—this holds outside of academia as well, independent IRBs and IRBs within research institutions/firms can vary so widely it is 🤯

Fascinating slide deck on IRBs. It notes something that is widely known but rarely discussed in academia: IRBs at different institutions vary widely in how difficult they are to deal with but **these differences have nothing to do with actual research ethics**

"Ultimately policymaking has to be responsive to political constituencies. That’s natural. That’s how politics works, and that’s how policymaking works. But I do think that if we make a strong case, evidence-based policy can ideally become a constituency itself." 🤞🤞🤞

How can we ensure good intentions match actual impact in policy? 🤔 Justin Milner (@jhmilner), Arnold Ventures' new EVP of Evidence and Evaluation, shares his insights in a Q&A with our Director of Communications @evan7257 Read the interview here: arnoldventures.org/stories/arnold…



This tool makes a (credited!) cameo in every #ImpSci presentation I give, because nothing makes abstract concepts concrete like capitalizing THE THING 🤩🤓

Implementation science can be overwhelming, with numerous theories, frameworks, and strategies to consider. But what is implementation science really trying to do? In this paper, Geoff Curran shares a simple teaching tool that he has developed. #ImpSci

What a delight to have @LJDamschroder join @ellenchilds & me & our whole @abtassociates implementation research group today! Laura, we had such a blast talking with you about customizing the CFIR 2.0 for our work!

I love demystifying conferences generally and @APPAM_DC’s Fall Research Conference specifically! Come hear about what makes a good session, what I look for in reviewing, and more!

SAVE THE DATE: Join @donmoyn, @HannahBetesh & more of the #2023APPAM program committee on March 22 at 2pm ET for a live Twitter Space to learn more about submissions for the Fall Research Conference this November!



Thank you to our wonderful class of @AU_SPA students for an engaging weekend and truly excellent elevator policy art 😍
