Abstract: Federal evaluations in education contributed in numerous and important ways to changes in law, regulation, and management. Information about implementation contributed most often, but information about outcomes, cost, and federal administration also made contributions. The findings of the present study are surprising in light ofprevious research that concluded evaluations do not often contribute to decisions.
