Over the last twenty years, advancing educational outcomes for all students has moved from being perceived as the responsibility of educators and administrators alone to a responsibility that is owned collectively by the community. While many approaches have sought to bring together diverse organizations and individuals to work together differently for educational change, these efforts have made only incremental improvements. Collective Change Lab (CCL) was founded based on the belief that no single individual, intervention, or organization can effect deep change to our educational system, and scale that change, when acting alone. This final grant will allow CCL to further its work to elevate concrete examples of community-led change through research, communities of practice, leadership development, and changing the narrative.

Taiwan is the most dangerous flashpoint in already tense U.S.-China relations. Many in Washington believe that Beijing is likely to use force against Taiwan in the coming decade and radical steps are needed to strengthen deterrence. At the same time, Beijing is losing confidence in Washington’s “one China” policy and believes that it is emboldening Taiwan to pursue independence. Establishing greater understanding and trust regarding Taiwan will help forestall a crisis in U.S.-China relations that might lead to conflict between two nuclear-armed states. Toward this end, the German Marshall Fund’s Indo-Pacific Program will continue its a sustained dialogue between American and Chinese experts who are both well-informed about Taiwan and well-connected to their respective governments.

Project Title
As a final grant for the Bridging the Gap Project
Date
Sep. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Scholars of international relations traditionally receive little to no training in the production of policy-relevant research or its dissemination to policymakers or the broader public. This problem is compounded by university hiring, tenure, and promotion standards, which typically discourage policy-relevant scholarship aimed at non-academic audiences. The result is that public conversations and policy debates might not be informed as they could be by academic insights. Bridging the Gap (BTG) is a flagship project of the Corporation’s work addressing this issue currently based at University of Denver (UD). During its final phase, BTG will continue to advance efforts to foster policy-relevant scholarship within universities, provide scholars with the tools and skills necessary to bring their knowledge and insights to bear on policy and practice, strengthen networks of policy-relevant scholars, and work with university leaders to identify and address obstacles limiting policy engagement.

Project Title
For a mentorship program for women of color studying political violence
Date
Mar. 06, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Women and scholars of color are notably underrepresented in academic communities focused on political violence and international security. This deficit is reinforced by insular patterns of mentorship that limit the field. The “Paving the Way” mentorship program aims to remedy this gap by cultivating a pipeline from junior scholars to the senior ranks of academia centered on women of color. In addition to pairing each annual cohort of three to five fellows with a senior mentor, the program provides peer mentoring opportunities and connects junior scholars to a growing community of alumni in the field. With Corporation support, the program will strengthen this expanding network and host a conference for fellows to receive feedback on their research, participate in professional development training, and engage with alumni.
