Overview
The Center for American Progress is an independent, nonpartisan institute that develops progressive ideas, critiques policy, and seeks to shape media coverage of—and foster a national discussion on—educational reform among other issues. Its proposed research project will address how states and districts can (1) fund education standards, tests, and curricula for college- and career-readiness; (2) provide the technology supports required by new standards and assessments; and (3) assess the full range of skills and knowledge demanded by new standards. This project will result in a report, and related outreach, that will give states and districts a useful, supporting framework for discussing and implementing plans that advance these goals.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Public Lands Program
The Center for American Progress is an independent, nonpartisan policy institute dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans through advancing bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action. This grant supports its efforts to ensure that America’s public lands, waters, and wildlife are protected for everyone to experience and explore; that America’s natural resources are developed wisely, safely, and with a fair return to taxpayers; and that public lands are being managed for sustainable economic growth — from creating jobs in recreation and clean energy industries to delivering the quality of life that attracts employees and businesses to Western communities.

for the China climate and competitiveness programs

for the Energy and Environment Program
The Center for American Progress’ Energy and Environment Program is charting an equitable and just path to a 100% clean economy. Over the next two years, the center will support swift implementation of federal legislation to ensure effective deployment of federal climate investments and ambitious fulfillment of the regulatory requirements of the Clean Air Act. It will also continue to demonstrate to Americans that bold climate action will produce tangible benefits, in addition to decarbonization. The center plays an important role in building consensus around priorities for decarbonization among environmental, environmental justice, and labor organizations.
