In 2021 and 2022, the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services used a tiered evidence framework to allocate funds through its AmeriCorps Arkansas program. This program requires evidence of effectiveness for proposed services and defines such evidence by referencing the AmeriCorps Evidence Exchange. In 2022 the program specified that evidence of effectiveness represented a meaningful share of the points awarded within its “Program Design” rating category (worth 50% of total points). Applicants were encouraged to use interventions assessed as having ‘Moderate’ or ‘Strong’ tiered evidence, and to use the Mandatory Supplemental Guidance offered that further defined evidence of effectiveness.
