Overview
Evidence in Governance and Politics (EGAP) is a research, evaluation, and learning network based at the University of California at Berkeley that fosters academic-practitioner collaborations to study governance and politics with an intensive focus in the Global South. This grant supports EGAP to strengthen its partnerships with regional research hubs through three sets of activities: (a) events and research papers that take evidence on governance interventions in specific contexts and use them to make policy recommendations in new contexts; (b) the development of tools and infrastructure for improving governance research; and (c) a series of “Learning Days” events for researchers from the Global South coupled with a grantmaking program for research projects.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity
A grant to the University of California at Berkeley will support the ongoing work of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, the home of this research and engagement at the university. The center focuses on both the “cyber” and “security” components of cybersecurity, grounding efforts in a robust, flexible, and evolving understanding of the “possibility” space of cybersecurity. Research will focus on possible security scenarios and explore the technical, political, and economic intersection of these potential futures. The aim of this approach is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the center as well as to add diversity to the cybersecurity conversation. The center brings together academics from the School of Information, the School of Law, Computer Science, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the College of Engineering, among others. It also engages external stakeholders in all facets of this work, including in outreach efforts. (Strategy: Talent Pipeline)
