J-PAL North America (J-PAL NA), established in 2013 with Sloan support, is a regional branch of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab, a global network of scholars who employ randomized control trials (RCTs) to evaluate policy interventions. In the decade since its founding, J-PAL NA has tested hundreds of interventions to improve the lives of low-income Americans and make government work better for all. Researchers associated with J-PAL NA have, for example, used RCTs to investigate the causes and consequences of discrimination, revealing potential levers for reducing racial disparities in settings such as healthcare delivery, education, and the criminal justice system. More such work is needed, though, as federal, state, and local governments are demanding rigorous evidence on how to increase racial equity through their programs, services, and budgetary decisions. J-PAL NA proposes to expand its infrastructure to support more RCTs on racial equity under the guidance of its newly appointed Racial Equity Advisory Committee. In addition to helping revise the organization’s project selection criteria and develop new resources to empower researchers with early-stage projects to apply for support, the Committee will publish a cross-disciplinary literature review that identifies theoretically grounded interventions in need of rigorous testing.  Examples include RCTs that explore the drivers of and solutions to structural racism as well as RCTs that examine ways to inspire behaviors that improve racial equity among groups holding power. Concurrently, J-PAL NA will launch its first targeted initiative for RCTs on racial equity, disseminating the call for proposals broadly and purposefully to increase the diversity of applicants.  It will publish guidance on new application requirements – for example, providing overviews of stratification economics and theories of race and discrimination.  They will also offer researchers skills-building sessions on proposal writing and on the practicalities of running a rigorous field test.
