Overview
This grant to the Aspen Institute will support the creation of the Aspen Tech Policy Hub. The Hub is a unique effort that will create a Bay Area-based technology policy incubator with deep ties to the Washington, D.C., policy community. The incubator will aim to (a) develop its own policy-relevant technology research agenda; (b) translate existing research into more useable pieces; (c) develop tools and other practical content that stakeholders can actually use (e.g., concrete recommendations, mock legislation, tool kits); and (d) serve as a neutral platform for government, industry, and other think tanks to engage in closed- and sometimes open-door spaces on these issues.

Grants to this Grantee
for India-U.S. Track II Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change
The Aspen Institute, in partnership with Ananta Aspen Centre in India, manages the India-U.S. Track II Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change. This sponsorship grant helped the institute assemble a group of experts from government, NGOs, academia, and the business community to help define a constructive bilateral agenda on critical energy and climate concerns. The Track II Dialogue aims to foster trust and cooperation, and uses targeted analyses to suggest concrete pathways for collaboration between the governments and relevant subnational and nonstate actors.

for the project Advancing a New Paradigm for Public Education
The Aspen Institute is a nonpartisan forum for values-based leadership and the exchange of ideas. Its Education & Society Program seeks to improve public education outcomes by informing, influencing, and inspiring education leaders across policy and practice, with an emphasis on achieving equity for students of color and students from low-income families. The Aspen Institute asserts that in today’s complex educational landscape, the country lacks a unifying vision for its public schools. This grant supports a series of exploratory conversations to reconceptualize public education’s purpose, discuss plausible definitions of success, and consider the measures of progress that would accompany a new paradigm for public education.
