Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
36 months
Description
Through its work over the past five years, the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP) has shown that new empirical evidence and analysis can help policymakers re-examine long-held assumptions and myths. NPIHP has helped revitalize the field of nuclear history by providing support and training for researchers through an interlinked network of research institutions across thirteen countries. NPHIP procures, disseminates, and archives new evidence and sources by organizing workshops, making requests for archival documents, and supporting research collaboration. NPIHP will engage the policy community through workshops, briefings, and media outreach. This grant consolidates and expands the partner network, building on past investments in capacity building, archival research, and outreach activities.

Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration

Description
The nuclear security field tends to be long on research and short on communications capacity. Yet strong media outreach is essential to ensuring that sound analysis is heard above the din. ReThink Media (“ReThink”) fills this gap by working with policy organizations to hone their media skills and develop a strong shared narrative that can influence policymaking priorities. ReThink will conduct research on public opinion and assess current messaging and media coverage. It will then provide training to help organizations within the sector communicate more effectively. One focus will be on enhancing the sector’s capacity to create digital, video, and infographic content. ReThink will also provide targeted training and support for the Fissile Materials Working Group (FMWG) in advance of the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit.

Description
Civil rights advocates in the United States are at a pivotal moment. The country is about to enter its first presidential election campaign without the full protection of the Voting Rights Act since the law was partially struck down by the Supreme Court in 2013—and many state and local governments have introduced bills to limit access to the polls. And although the 2020 census is five years away, efforts to defund it and exclude underrepresented groups from the decennial tradition are already underway. With Corporation support, as the leading expert on civil rights research and education, the Leadership Conference Education Fund (the education fund) will continue its public education, outreach, and communications campaign to educate the public about the importance of voting rights; the 2020 Census; and redistricting. It will also undertake strategic planning, which includes ensuring a sound plan for succession of the organization’s leadership.

With renewed Corporation support, State Voices will continue to grow and strengthen its network of state tables, and support their shared efforts to increase civic and voter engagement, especially among those least likely to vote.

Project Title
For support of the voting rights working group
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
24 months
Description
The historic 1965 Voting Rights Act was enacted at the height of the civil rights movement to combat discriminatory practices used by state and local governments to restrict the rights of minorities to vote. For almost fifty years the law has prevented hundreds of voting changes that would limit and reduce the voting power of underrepresented groups from taking effect and also likely deterred the consideration or adoption of countless other discriminatory voting changes. The Supreme Court’s June 2013 ruling in Shelby County v. Holder significantly undercut the strength of the Voting Rights Act, opening the door to renewed efforts at voting discrimination by state and local governments. Given the threat that the Supreme Court’s ruling poses to voting rights, ten of the leading voting rights litigation organizations in the country have come together to form the Voting Rights Litigation Working Group and deepen their ongoing collaboration in response to the Shelby County v. Holder case. With renewed Corporation support, the working group members will leverage their collective expertise by consulting and collaborating on litigation efforts to defend new challenges to voting rights in the wake of the Shelby County v. Holder case.

Project Title
For support of the Four Freedoms Fund, a donor collaborative on immigrant civic integration at the state level
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
12 months
Description
With the 2016 Presidential elections looming, it is generally accepted that there will be no movement on federal immigration reform by policymakers until 2017, at the earliest. But while progress remains stalled at the federal level, there is plenty of movement at the state and local level, where policies often have much greater impact on the day-to-day lives of the public. Established in 2003 with Corporation support and housed at NEO Philanthropy (formerly known as Public Interest Projects ), the Four Freedoms Fund (FFF) is a donor collaborative that supports state-based and regional immigrant-serving coalitions across the country. FFF serves a hybrid role of convener, grantmaker, and strategist, connecting grassroots organizations with national immigrant integration groups. With renewed Corporation support, FFF will continue to support state and regional groups across the country through grants that build institutional capacity, strategic collaboration among grantees, effective communications, and alliances with other constituencies.

Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
8 months
Description
The new Center on the Future of American Education (CFAE) at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy is being founded with the goal to make American education more effective, equitable, and efficient by breaking the ideological log-jam in education policy circles and by making the complexities of education policy clear and compelling for policymakers and practitioners. It will bring together leading researchers, policy experts, and professional writers under an innovative staffing strategy to promote sound, pragmatic solutions to the nation’s education challenges. With support from the Corporation, CFAE will launch in early 2016 and build its capacity to share important new research and analysis on education reform with multiple audiences, in support of the Corporation’s efforts to build public and professional understanding and will for school reforms that raise student achievement.

Project Title
For support of its immigration policy program
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
24 months
Description
In recent years, more and more state legislatures across the country have introduced policies intended to help integrate immigrants and provide them access to services, such as drivers’ licenses, health care, and in-state tuition at public universities, among others. The proliferation of these policies—a dramatic shift from the period before 2012 when most state immigration bills deterred integration efforts—has been due, in some part, to the research and analysis provided by policy organizations. These trusted groups can accurately assess the impact of proposed legislation—helping to inform policymakers and the public during such debates. Among the organizations working to advance state and federal immigration reform, the Center for American Progress (CAP) has acted as a resource for policymakers, a hub for new research and much needed facts on immigration, and a coordinating entity for research, communications, and policy work. With renewed Corporation support, the Center for American Progress will continue to drive the policy debate through research, analysis, and collaboration with key players; and monitor the implementation of new policies at the federal, state, and local levels.

Description
Across the United States, schools and school systems continue to struggle to advance educational equity so that every child, regardless of circumstance, has access to high quality teaching that prepares them for democratic citizenship and participation in the global economy. The Common Core State Standards (Common Core) represent both a great challenge and immense opportunity for our nation’s public education system, possessing the power to better prepare students for postsecondary school success but requiring a fundamental change for teachers and school leaders. For nearly ten years, Achievement Network has helped schools improve teaching and learning through effective use of data. With the advent of the Common Core, Achievement Network, with the Corporation’s support, has expanded its services to address the full teaching and learning cycle and tackle persistent challenges faced by schools and systems in the implementation of new and higher standards. Achievement Network requests support to execute the next phase of their growth, including the refinement and expansion of their core services—coaching, professional development, and assessments—and further development of emerging work to strengthen alignment between district systems and schools.
Project Title
As a final grant for network collaboration to support state adoption and implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
24 months
Description
The effect of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS or Standards) on improving science instruction and bolstering STEM education across the country is beginning to show significant promise. The final version of the NGSS was released in April 2013. This achievement was led by Achieve, joined by the National Research Council and a broad-based network of science, technology, engineering and math advocates in business and industry, academia, and the scientific community under the leadership of twenty-six state teams. These Standards represent the scientific and education communities’ best, and most current, thinking on what K–12 students need to know and be able to do in science to be prepared for college and career in the 21st century. But developing the NGSS was just the first step. Implementing the standards in K–12 classrooms across the nation is the challenge that still remains. To date, fifteen states representing almost 33 percent of the public school population have already adopted the NGSS. With renewed support from the Corporation, Achieve will continue working with states as they move forward on adoption and implementation, often helping states assess when and if they are ready for adoption and what steps and conditions they need to have in place to ensure successful adoption, implementation, and sustainability.

Duration

Description
There are many components that contribute to an excellent education system in which students achieve high academic results. As a nation, we have reached a critical juncture in education reform where most jurisdictions have adopted new, strong learning standards, yet instruction and, thus, student achievement, remains suboptimal due to misalignment of policies across multiple levels, including in the areas of human capital management, instructional leadership, and academic strategies. With the launch of its 2016-2017 strategy, the New Teacher Project (TNTP) is undertaking an ambitious plan that marks an important evolution in the organization’s strategy and that of the education community. Since it was founded in 1997, TNTP has focused on elevating human capital in education, recruiting or training nearly 50,000 teachers for high needs schools, catalyzing large scale reform through studies, and pioneering new teacher evaluation systems. Under its new strategy, TNTP moves to an integrated approach that maintains an emphasis on human capital while expanding to advocate for policies that optimize learning environments and to support school systems to implement academic strategies that improve outcomes for low-income students. This approach targets and integrates the key leverage points needed to achieve results for students. Support from the Corporation will contribute to the development of these new services and the implementation of activities under TNTP’s new strategy.

Project Title
For continued development of the Next Generation Science Standards learning ratings
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
12 months
Description
In the vast sea of digital content available, one of the biggest challenges for educators is to find high quality digital products that truly enhance and propel learning. Common Sense Media (Common Sense) has answered this challenge by creating Graphite, a K-12 learning ratings platform that helps teachers discover, use, and share the best quality digital media products for learning in the classroom and at home. Since launching in June 2013, Graphite has received an enthusiastic reception from educators with over 250,000 teachers signing up to use these free resources over the last two years. With support from the Corporation, Common Sense was able to build the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Explorer along-side their Common Core Explorer. With renewed Corporation support, Common Sense plans to launch the NGSS Explorer and build a library of content to help teachers understand how digital learning products can help them create the kind of investigative and hands-on science learning envisioned by the standards.

Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
30 months
Description
Georgetown University’s Institute for the Study of Diplomacy (ISD) and Mortara Center for International Studies’ joint proposal weaves the experience and outlook of the practitioner and academic worlds into a mutually supportive whole. It supports the expansion and improvement of ISD’s well-established diplomacy case studies program, used by academics and students globally as teaching materials, and the return of a series of ISD working groups on emerging global diplomatic challenges. It also enhances two outlets where academics can publish their research in ways accessible to policymakers and the broader public: The Monkey Cage, a blog published by The Washington Post, and a new peer-reviewed journal, Research & Politics (R&P) published by SAGE. Finally, it supports early career academics by shaping their professional trajectory to focus rigorous, policy-relevant academic work on global and diplomatic issues.

Project Title
For a project to address international finance, energy, security, and climate change among the United States, Russia, China, and India
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
24 months
Description
Recent breakdown of communication among key international players, most especially between Russia and the West, threatens the global peace and security environment. With Corporation support since 2003, the Financial Services Volunteer Corps (FSVC) has administered a multi-year Track II effort to provide a forum for leading scholars and practitioners from the United States, Russia, China, and India to exchange ideas and build networks. The dialogue is the only one that brings together experts from all four countries to deliberate on topics that are more often discussed bilaterally. Through symposia, participants share insights and frame complex policy issues in new ways and help policymakers address world security challenges. This renewal also would ensure that the FSVC network that has been built with Corporation support will continue to grow and bring in the next generation of thought leaders and policymakers.

Project Title
For the Working Group on the Future of U.S.-Russia Relations
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
36 months
Description
The deterioration of the U.S.-Russia relationship from the time of the 2008 Russia-Georgia war through the Obama Administration’s attempt to reset the relationship led a group of Russia experts at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies (Davis Center) to create a working group of experts from the two countries. The objective of the group was to cultivate fresh ideas and innovative approaches to problem solving about the U.S.-Russia relationship, which the group’s organizers considered crucial to international peace and stability. Despite the current aggravated bilateral relationship, the Working Group on the Future of U.S.-Russia Relations (Working Group) has accelerated the flow of ideas, generated engagement, and provided regular interaction among its members. We recommend this proposal for support so that the Working Group’s biannual meetings and resultant publications can continue.

For support of the International Association for the Humanities Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (MAG-ASEEES) convention
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
24 months
Description
The work of transition from Soviet practice has been set back by armed conflict in Ukraine and, in Russia and Belarus, by escalating propaganda and repressive measures against independent researchers. In this context, the June 2016 Lviv convention planned by the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies and co-sponsored by the International Association for the Humanities (MAG) will gather 300 participants for 80 panel sessions on a theme of “Images of the Other.” The convention will comprise interdisciplinary, international discussion of ongoing research projects related to contemporary problems and their roots in the histories, cultures and societies of the region. The American Council of Learned Societies is seeking funding to provide coordination, oversight and support to allow MAG to assure participation of fifteen humanities scholars from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.

For Learning from the Arab Region and the Balkans: policy development related to transnational crises
Date
Dec. 10, 2015
Duration
30 months
Description
A renewal is recommended in the frame of the new program area, seeking to build upon the success of Boston Consortium for Arab Regional Studies (BCARS) and expand it beyond Boston and the Arab Region to the Balkans and Europe. Project leaders will establish a transregional network to examine and refine policy related to three particular crises: the Syrian civil war and its refugee crisis; transnational militancy (aka, “violent extremism”) and its links between the Arab Region and Europe, via the Balkans; and religious conflict and sectarianism, again emphasizing links between the Arab Region and Europe. Evolving trends in the Arab region suggest that a transnational approach would produce greater impact in knowledge production and policy development moving forward.
