The Evidence to Action project (2019-2021), led by MDRC and the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEO) and supported by Arnold Ventures, initiated a body of work designed to disentangle the barriers that exist between research and state-level higher education policy and partnered with state higher education agencies to develop solutions. For the Evidence to Action project, MDRC and SHEEO partnered with four agencies across three states: the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE), the Montana Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education (OCHE), the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV), and the Virginia Community College System (VCCS). The research team interviewed staff within these agencies and other key decision-makers in higher education across Indiana, Montana, and Virginia to understand how research and data were used--or not used--to identify policy priorities, inform policy design and adoption, and implement and later refine policy within the domains relevant to those states (for example, financial aid, developmental education, and career and technical education). As the final step in the Evidence to Action project, this brief proposes promising strategies found to address the factors that state-level postsecondary leaders have observed to have the most impact on evidence-based policymaking in higher education. This brief also provides recommendations and resources for state- and system-level decision-makers advocating for greater investment in evidence-based policymaking as well as for researchers and intermediary organizations hoping to produce relevant research that they can translate into policy.
