    The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has reorganized its Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) by establishing a new Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE) and the Office of the Chief Data Officer (OCDO). This reorganization aims to enhance guidance, research, and data management related to programs designed to improve the lives of children and families. The OPRE will now focus on strategic planning, research, and evaluation while maintaining and supporting other divisions related to economic independence, child and family development, and family strengthening. The OCDO will handle data governance and enhance data usage to improve program effectiveness and efficiency.
