Determining Levels of Evidence
AmeriCorps State & National and the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) programs both use “levels of evidence” to situate a program’s cumulative body of evidence along the evidence continuum. Detailed information on levels of evidence for AmeriCorps State & National is available in the AmeriCorps State & National Notice of Grant Funding; detailed information on levels of evidence for SIF are also available in the SIF Notice of Grant Funding and SIF Evidence Rubric.
