What happens after I submit my best practice, lesson learned, or innovative idea?
To maintain the quality and reliability of the shared information, all submissions undergo a rigorous vetting process before being added to the CLEAR Database. By subjecting submissions to a vetting process, we ensure that only the most relevant and valuable ideas are included in the database. This careful evaluation helps us maintain a record of the knowledge shared, allowing personnel to search and explore these ideas when seeking to implement them in projects or programs.
