Each year the Clearinghouse will produce:
Issues papers
Each issues paper (two in 2009–10, 10,000 words each) will be a comprehensive review of a large body of literature and determine the overall quality and breadth of the evidence on a priority topic.
Resource sheets
Resources sheets (eight in 2009–10, 2,000 words each) will be shorter papers that summarise the evidence collected on more narrowly defined issues. These will focus on issues for policy-makers and practitioners, and the applicability of the material collected for specific policies and/or programs. Topics for the resource sheets will align with the six COAG priority areas for the first year of the Clearinghouse.
Paper on gaps in research and evaluations
Annual papers on gaps in the available research and evaluation evidence will be available from June 2011.
