Nevada

The Nevada P-20 to Workforce Research Data System integrates data from the state’s PK-12, higher education, and workforce agencies. With a commitment to data privacy, the system leaves all private data behind agency firewalls and uses an algorithm to de-identify data during the matching process. A wide variety of reports provide agency leaders greater insights into Nevada’s education and workforce programs, initiatives, and outcomes.

​​Three Nevada grant programs require evidence-based approaches to secure funding. The Nevada Department of Education’s Addressing the Impact of Learning Loss grant, focused on mitigating COVID-19 learning loss, awards up to 10 points for evidence of effectiveness, following ESSA standards. The Nevada Volunteers’ AmeriCorps State and National Grants prioritize community health and wellness initiatives, granting up to 20 points for evidence quality, per AmeriCorps guidelines. Lastly, the Nevada Department of Education’s Title IV-B Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers funds educational and enrichment programs, with up to 20 points awarded for evidence alignment with ESSA’s four evidence tiers.
