What Works Clearing House
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviews the existing research on different programs, products, practices, and policies in education. A part of the Institute of Education Sciences, data collected includes literacy, early childhood, k-12, English learners, charter schools, behavior, postsecondary, children with disabilities and more. Their goal is to provide educators with the information they need to make evidence-based decisions, focusing on results from high-quality research to answer the question “What works in education?"
What Works
YouthPower is an USAID-funded activity and set of projects expanding the evidence base for what works in positive youth development and applying improved approaches across programs and sectors. YouthPower uses a positive youth development approach to implement programs within and across sectors, to engage young people, their families and communities so that youth can reach their full potential.
Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness
The Clearinghouse Continuum of Evidence (Continuum) is an interactive, searchable database of evidence-based programs that address a wide variety of family and mental health issues, such as healthy parenting, financial literacy, nutrition and physical activity, stress, anxiety, and depression.
Youth Evidence-Based Program Directory
The youth.gov Program Directory features evidence-based programs whose purpose is to prevent and/or reduce delinquency or other problem behaviors in young people. The site also describes risk and protective factors, recent research and how factors are relevant to youth programs.
Crime Solutions
The National Institute of Justice’s CrimeSolutions data can be used to help policymakers inform funding decisions, trainers improve their training programs, and researchers become more informed on criminal justice research. CrimeSolutions is comprised of two components — a web-based clearinghouse of programs and practices and a process for identifying and rating those programs and practices. After the programs and practices undergo rigorous evaluations and meta-analyses, the site assesses the strength of the evidence about whether these programs achieve criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services outcomes in order to inform practitioners and policy makers about what works, what doesn't, and what's promising.
