Research and Evaluation Clearinghouses

In addition to building evidence through a broad range of rigorous empirical studies, OPRE catalogs, reviews and disseminates evidence related to ACF programs. OPRE conducted systematic reviews of the evidence for early childhood home visiting services, and for services to low-income couples and fathers. We also sponsor the Self-Sufficiency Research Clearinghouse and Child Care and Early Education Research Connections.

The following evidence reviews also address topics relevant to ACF’s programs:

• Education Department Institute of Education Sciences What Works Clearinghouse – Early Childhood Education
• HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health Teen Pregnancy Prevention Evidence Review
• Department of Labor Clearinghouse for Labor Evaluation and Research
