Maryland is embedding evidence into grantmaking so public dollars fund programs that work. Across agencies, solicitations define evidence and award points for proven approaches. The Governor’s Office for Children’s ENOUGH grants include a clear definition of “evidence-based” and give priority for interventions backed by experimental or quasi-experimental studies. Children’s Cabinet Interagency Fund NOFAs direct Local Management Boards to invest in evidence-based models and name specific eligible interventions. The Department of Health has several funding streams and targeted prevention RFAs, that require evidence-based or evidence-informed strategies. The Community Health Resources Commission prioritizes evidence-based practices, and AmeriCorps Maryland assigns up to 20 points for evidence tier. Together, these practices steer grants to effective solutions for Marylanders.
