Project Title
For the publication of the Mitchell Papers, Volumes V and VI
Date
Sep. 12, 2019
Duration
37 months
Description
State University New York (SUNY) Old Westbury is a diverse public liberal arts college that fosters academic excellence, community engagement, and global citizenship through its academic programs and campus life. With Corporation support, the University will publish Volumes V and VI of the Papers of the Clarence Mitchell, Jr. Project, a nine-volume series that seeks to increase scholarly interest in the legislative phase of the modern civil rights movement. Clarence Mitchell Jr. (1911-1984) was a civil rights activist who helped secure passage of civil rights legislation in the 1950s and 1960s. The volumes will include some of Mitchell’s most important writing, including the reports he prepared for the Fair Employment Practice Committee and as a chief lobbyist for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from 1950 to 1978.

Project Title
For planning for the development and implementation of a linked education data center for evidence-based change in New York state.
Date
Mar. 08, 2018
Duration
9 months
Description
Efforts to improve education systems at the state and local level are often thwarted by the fragmentation and lack of comprehensive data that characterize these systems, in which different institutions fail to take responsibility or clearly see how the children and youths in their care progress (or fail to progress) from their first years through their entire educational experience and their encounter with the workforce. The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government, established in 1981, is the public policy research arm of the 64-campus SUNY system and they aim to tackle this problem for New York state. The Institute’s mission is to bring rigorous, objective evidence to bear on policy and administrative decisions in state and local governments—and disseminate relevant, politically neutral knowledge to citizens and public officials on key public issues. The proposed project—to build, use, and make available to others a state-wide longitudinal data system, from pre-school through K-12, higher education, and the workforce —will be a cornerstone of the Institute’s newly established Center for Education Pathways Systems Change. This grant is for the first phase of planning for the design and implementation of the data system.

Project Title
For continued development of the New York Consortium for Research on Education and the Workforce
Date
Dec. 06, 2018
Duration
29 months
Description
The absence of comprehensive, linked data on how students and young adults interact with New York state’s education and employment systems makes it difficult to observe and understand how its children, youth, and young adults fare as they proceed, or fail to proceed, through the state’s public pre-kindergarten, K-12 schools, postsecondary colleges and universities, training and licensure programs, and into the workforce. To remedy this problem, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government (the Institute) is working with five state agencies to establish a consortium for research on education and the workforce. The consortium will construct a P20W statewide longitudinal data system (SLDS)—while ensuring the privacy of all personally identifiable information. It will conduct and support research and analyses aimed at improving education and workforce experiences and outcomes for all New Yorkers. It will also disseminate findings to students, parents, policymakers, educators, workforce investment boards, regional economic development councils, and other stakeholders through reports, briefings, forums, and online tools.
