Dear POLMETH Colleagues,

This is a great opportunity that several members of the POLMETH community
have taken advantage of in recent years.

I wanted to let you know that the Office of Evaluation Sciences (OES) is
currently recruiting Fellows and Federal Details (more details are
available here

It's an exciting time for evidence and evaluation in the federal government
- and OES is growing to respond to the increase in demand.

I would appreciate your help sharing the opportunity with any relevant
listservs and spreading the word on social media:

And if you know of anyone in particular who might be a good fit, please
feel free to forward this email along, or send me their contact information
so I can reach out directly. We're particularly seeking accomplished
researchers from the social and behavioral sciences who can take temporary
leave from their universities or research institutions to serve as Fellows.
The deadline to apply is January 11, 2023.

More information and our November newsletter is below. Many thanks for your
help!

Take care and have a great weekend,

our goals, strategic objectives, performance measures, and key capabilities
for fiscal years 2022–2025. The plan will guide our decisions over the
coming years, allowing the team to make meaningful contributions to and
achievements within the federal government.
[image: icon]

The plan positions our team to support federal agency leadership and
policymakers in expanding their use of evidence to inform decisions and
investments by focusing on three priority areas:

   1. Make access to federal programs easier and more equitable.
   2. Build actionable evidence relevant to federal programs and policies.
   3. Promote and support excellence in federal evaluation.

*Update on Incorporating Evaluation into Digital Forms*

The American public spends approximately 11.5 billion hours per year
filling out federal forms. Form complexity can result in lack of submission
or completion, and errors on forms can cause processing delays and affect
whether the form is accepted–which can have far-reaching consequences. This
evaluation—a first of its kind in the federal government—brought together
multiple GSA offices and the American public to learn about the feasibility
of incorporating A/B testing into federal forms and to show that form
design matters for form completion.

To generate a sample of over 3,000 participants (including participation
from many of you - thank you!), OES facilitated outreach among the general
public and federal employees. Between July 19 and August 19, 2022,
individuals who volunteered to participate in the pilot were randomly
assigned to one of two versions of the form. One version included the form
instructions on the first page, while the other version embedded the form
instructions within each page of the form.

The results offer initial evidence that form completion is affected by
instruction placement. Individuals randomly assigned to the form with
embedded instructions were 3.2 percentage points (36.2% versus 33.0%) more
likely to submit (p=0.054, 95% CI [-0.001, 0.065]) than individual assigned
to the form with instructions at the front, with this result significant at
the p<0.10 level. This evaluation represents an important first step
towards creating infrastructure and procedures for embedding evaluation in
digital forms and towards generating rigorous evidence to inform  the
design of federal forms in the future.
