Project Title
For support of the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society’s research on polarization and electoral reforms
Date
Mar. 06, 2025
Duration
0 months
Description
The last decade has demonstrated the profound ways in which digital technologies have reshaped civic life and tested democratic systems. Rapid technological advancements have transformed relationships between citizens, governments, corporations, and civil society organizations in ways that challenge prior understandings of society and human behavior. With Corporation support, Stanford’s Center for Philanthropy and Civil Society (PACS) will bring together social scientists, practitioners, philanthropists, and policymakers to explore and share ideas for strengthening public institutions, rebuilding trust in democracy, and aligning technological progress with human well-being. Among other projects, Corporation support will be used toward PACS’ structural democratic reforms project, an effort to address weaknesses in American democratic systems by identifying effective, politically feasible structural reforms that promote voter participation, representation, and inclusion.

Project Title
As a one-time only grant for improving diversity in the study of nuclear security
Date
Sep. 15, 2022
Duration
36 months
Description
Calls for greater diversity resonate across the sectors of American society, including in the field of nuclear security. Addressing this challenge requires strengthening the pipeline of individuals entering the field as practitioners and creating opportunities for diversifying tenure-track scholars in academia. With these goals, a project at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation(CISAC) will recruit, mentor, and train a research assistant from a diverse background aiming for admission to competitive PhD programs or policy-relevant careers in the field of nuclear security. Corporation support will enable the university to host a research assistant through the provision of a fellowship.

Project Title
As a final grant for the Nuclear Risk Reduction Project
Date
Sep. 10, 2020
Duration
23 months
Description
Despite the dangers associated with the nuclear arsenals of the great powers, cooperation between them has declined. The Nuclear Risk Reduction project of the Center for International Security and Cooperation works to help reduce risks from proliferation and terrorism, the possibility of an arms race, and potential accidents in military or civilian nuclear systems. It also aims to increase cooperation among the next generation of nuclear professionals in Russia and in China and to help reduce the nuclear threat posed by North Korea. Over the next year, the project will engage in studies and analyses focusing on the benefits of nuclear cooperation between American and Russian nuclear laboratories, China’s nonproliferation and nuclear security efforts, and North Korea’s nuclear program.

Duration
24 months
Description
The U.S.-Asia Security Initiative (the Initiative) led by Ambassador Karl Eikenberry at Stanford University facilitates interdisciplinary, policy-relevant, research emphasizing security cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.

Project Title
For support of a project to create shortened case studies, videos, and a viewing guide to accompany the Schools to Learn From report
Date
Sep. 08, 2016
Duration
12 months
Description
With Corporation support, Stanford University’s Understanding Language program identified secondary schools across the United States that are succeeding in preparing English Language Leaners (ELLs) from a variety of language backgrounds for success beyond high school. The 2015 Schools to Learn From study has generated interested from a wide range of stakeholders, but the length of the report, at almost 250 pages, limits its ready use by the widest possible audience. This renewal grant will support Stanford to 1) develop a condensed set of case studies aimed at sharing the seven innovative school design elements found across the schools from the original report, with a focus on how these elements, and the instructional practices that stem from them, allowed these schools to serve their ELLs successfully; and 2) create a set of videos and a viewing guide to bring to life the practices from the report. The shortened case studies, videos, and viewing guide will complement the Schools to Learn From report and make it far more accessible to practitioner and policy audiences in order to increase its impact.

Project Title
For research and writing on international security
Date
Sep. 08, 2016
Duration
24 months
Description
The Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), Stanford University’s research hub, was established forty years ago when scholars decided to create a teaching environment in which students from different disciplines could examine international security matters and understand how government policy is formed. With foundational Corporation support, CISAC brought mid-career scientists to Stanford to work on international security issues and inform the peace and security policymaking agenda in the United States and abroad. As global threats evolve and emerge, that knowledge takes on increased importance. Renewed support will allow scientists, social scientists, and policy experts to continue to work collaboratively at CISAC to help carry out its mission to produce policy-relevant research on international security problems, teach and train the next generation of security specialists, and impact policy making.
