For supporting America's educators in the era of higher standards
Date
Sep. 17, 2015
Duration
12 months
Description
An emerging organization, currently part of the Achievement Network, whose mission is to help educators negotiate the transition to higher standards and close the student achievement gap, has been founded by a small team of education professionals who provided the intellectual leadership behind the development of the nation’s highest impact Common Core open educational resources effort to date, EngageNY.org. The team developing this work believes that the way to closing the achievement gap is through changes in curriculum and instruction across the country—to affect “smart demand” (the decision making, instinct, and needs of teachers targeting the standards) and “smart supply” (the quality, rigor, and alignment of what gets made, reused and remixed, and made available for free). The Corporation’s grant will support the creation of high quality Common Core materials, aligned professional development opportunities, and direct intervention and ongoing support in districts and schools.
Project Title
For the Leverage Leadership Institute program
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
18 months
Description
To prepare all students to be active in a democratic society and the global economy, schools and school systems require leaders capable of implementing and strengthening instructional and cultural practices that support teachers and advance student learning. However, recent scholarship indicates that traditional teacher and school leader preparation programs, which emphasize credit hours and course completion over practical experience and student achievement, are not adequately preparing candidates for the challenges of teaching in the real world. Furthermore, there are very few programs that support school and systems leaders in their work, leading to and exacerbating challenges recruiting and retaining top talent. Launched in 2014 with support of the Corporation, Relay’s Leverage Leadership Institute (LLI) is designed to address this acute need for more highly effective school leaders across the country. The year-long fellowship builds the skills of twenty to twenty-five exceptional district and charter school leaders per year, equipping them to train and coach others to achieve the same results in their schools and districts. By disseminating best practices in school leadership, LLI aims to directly impact K-12 student achievement in schools and districts across the country. Having entered the second year of the program, Relay requests support to extend, refine, and codify the program model, including training and certification; recruitment and selection; and learning and evaluation.

Project Title
For the work of the Congressional program
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
12 months
Description
Although Congress plays a central role in the formulation of U.S. policy, the lawmaking body is not as effective as it could be. The wide-ranging responsibilities members of Congress face and the massive demands on their time leave little opportunity for in-depth study of issues. The Aspen Institute Congressional Aspen Program (the Aspen Program) is an educational initiative designed to improve how Congress works and provide lawmakers with a deeper understanding and background on critical issues. The Aspen Program convenes breakfast meetings and high-level conferences in which legislators from both parties and both houses are brought together with internationally recognized academics, experts, and leaders. The politically neutral agenda is devoted to explaining ideas and exploring various policy alternatives, providing lawmakers a safe place to have meaningful dialogue on the issues of the day.

Project Title
For continued support to identify, incubate, and scale promising Next Generation Learning school designs
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
36 months
Description
As program staff argued in the Opportunity by Design challenge paper, redesigning American high schools to create more powerful, personalized learning environments is a necessary step towards ensuring that more students graduate college- and career-ready. The Charter School Growth Fund (CSGF) is an important partner in this work. CSGF is committed to accelerating the creation of innovative school models in the charter sector and has a proven track record of selecting, investing in, and supporting high-impact charter operators, including “next gen” models that use time, technology and talent in innovative ways to personalize learning. This proposed grant to CSGF will provide support for their Fund III, in which CSGF will launch and scale innovative school models designed to prepare students for college and career success, as well as for participation in the changing global economy.

Project Title
For a project to strengthen graduate training and research in Russian and Eurasian Studies
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
21 months
Description
The current crises in U.S.-Russia relations raise questions about how prepared the U.S. analytical community is to understand Russia now and into the future. A recent Corporation-sponsored survey noted strong features in the Russian studies field but emphasized the dearth of recently trained political science scholars in Russian and Eurasian studies. It also cited challenges emerging in maintaining ties between the Russian and U.S. academic and policy research communities, including restrictions placed on Russian academics and policy researchers as the space for independent expression continues to shrink. Georgetown University’s Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies (CERES) will undertake steps to strengthen its research and training activities and outreach to policymakers about Russia’s relations with the West.

Project Title
For archival programs on nuclear security and cooperative threat reductions
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
24 months
Description
Since its establishment in 1985 to check rising government secrecy, the National Security Archive (the Archive) has challenged national security privacy by advocating for open government, utilizing the Freedom of Information Act to compel the release of previously secret documents. With continued support from the Corporation, the Archive will address the documentation deficit and lessons-learned challenge through research focused on the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction initiative. In partnership with former Senator Sam Nunn and his Nuclear Threat Initiative organization and with the help of partner institutions in Russia and Kazakhstan, the Archive will build on its existing body of research over the next two years to acquire currently inaccessible documentation and accumulate lessons-learned through an innovative oral history program.

Project Title
For support of web-based analysis and outreach, international collaborative training and research and Track II dialogue on North Korea
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
24 months
Description
The Korean peninsula—perhaps more than any other region of the world now that a nuclear deal has been reached with Iran—has become central to efforts at building a strong international nonproliferation regime. However, as a result of the international community’s failure to halt North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, the North is emerging as a small nuclear power with a projected arsenal of 20-100 nuclear weapons by 2020. The North Korean challenge is likely to grow, requiring more effective diplomatic efforts to end its programs or, if these fail, limit their adverse impact. The U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), seeks to promote informed debate over the challenges presented by North Korea in policy circles, the mainstream media, and the public, through expansion of its authoritative 38 North web site, continued Track II efforts, and a comprehensive review of U.S. policy toward North Korea.
