Many federal grants would give an edge to applicants with evidence-backed plans. Agencies would set goals, review results, and publish what they learn.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Evidence-Based Grantmaking Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Latest action on H.R. 7025: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects groups that apply for federal grants to provide services in local communities. It also affects federal agencies that write grant rules, choose winners, and review results. People who receive grant-funded services could see more programs shaped by data and past results.
Why this matters: Federal grant money pays for many real-world services, and this bill would push more of that money toward approaches with proof behind them. It could affect programs in areas like health, education, housing, public safety, the environment, labor, and small business support. It could also make grant performance more visible to the public. The practical effect depends on how OMB and each agency define “evidence-based” and how often agencies decide the rules are practical to apply.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
