In addition, the Federal Standard of Excellence captures the significant progress these nine federal agencies have made in implementing the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDEyMDQuMzE1NzcxNDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3Jlc3VsdHM0YW1lcmljYS5vcmcvZXZpZGVuY2UtYWN0LXJlc291cmNlcy8ifQ.CscSeOKvQszJdKzJGn3TqXrI2dKbtIGVKA0uGGUeBv4/s/1261364167/br/91095645685-l> (Evidence Act), which took effect in 2019.

Susan Jenkins, Director of the Office of Performance and Evaluation in the Center for Policy and Evaluation at ACL noted: "As we compile the information for the standard, I am amazed at how much we have accomplished in the previous year. This year we are particularly proud of having published an agency learning agenda, evaluation plan, data governance primer, and series of toolkits supporting the use of evidence."
