Overview
A grant to the New America Foundation would support the establishment of an interdisciplinary center to convene thinkers around international security, technology policy, human rights, and social justice in the field of cybersecurity. This program is an important step in raising awareness about cybersecurity and its implications for international, national, economic, and individual security. If funded, the New America Foundation will create the "Cybersecurity for Everyone" Initiative, which will produce a body of research in areas of cybersecurity that have not been fully explored, build networks of thinkers focused on cybersecurity issues, and reach out to the media, policymakers, and citizens to increase understanding of cybersecurity.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Better Life Lab’s entertainment-focused narrative and culture change initiative
The entertainment-focused narrative and culture change practice at New America’s Better Life Lab seeks to influence TV and film storytelling by sharing data and research that encourage creatives to tell stories about abortion, pregnancy, and parenting in the context of people’s full lives. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)
for bridging open education and equity in pre-K-12 learning and teaching
New America is a nonpartisan think tank dedicated to renewing, reimagining, and realizing the promise of America in an era of rapid technological and social change. New America’s Education Policy program builds on existing efforts to elevate the importance of equity and inclusion and the role of high-quality open educational resources and practices in ensuring academic excellence and well-being for all students. This will be accomplished through research and policy analysis, case making, community building, and the development of open tools and prototypes that can be piloted in districts and communities.
