Description:The 2018 Foundations in Evidence-based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-435, “Evidence Act”) emphasizes the need for incorporating data into decision-making, including program evaluation, such as evaluating NOAA’s research and development portfolio. To that end, NOAA has institutionalized several resources for collecting and archiving information (i.e. data) about its research and development (R&D) portfolio at both the agency (e.g., the NOAA Research and Development Database or “NRDD” and the NOAA Institutional Repository), line office (e.g. the National Weather Service Customer Satisfaction Database), and program (e.g Sea Grant’s Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation Resources System ) levels. NOAA staff use these resources to conduct organizational analyses at the request of both external (e.g., Congress) and internal (e.g., NOAA staff offices) entities. Often called portfolio analysis, these systems are valuable tools in analyzing and characterizing an agency’s R&D portfolio (Grossman et al, 2022).
