Building Evidence on Employment Strategies for Low-Income Families (BEES) is a project to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative programs designed to boost employment and earnings. MDRC is looking for innovative employment programs that serve low-income families to participate in the project — particularly programs that serve people whose employment prospects have been affected by mental health issues, substance use disorder, or justice involvement.

What are some of the benefits of participating in BEES?

• Learn about your program’s impact through a rigorous evaluation
• Get technical expertise to improve your program model
• Receive funding for research costs
• Get support for your efforts to grow your program
