Lincoln Network

Lincoln Network’s mission is to bring together leaders from government and technology to converse, collaborate, and affect change. Driving this effort is a community of technology and policy influencers whose experience and insight enable our efficient development of tech solutions to policy problems.

The Lincoln Network works to help bridge the gap between Silicon Valley and D.C., advancing a more perfect union between technology and the American republic. This grant will support Lincoln’s research and outreach efforts on strengthening legislative branch capacity. In particular, this work will focus on science and technology expertise in support agencies and committees, as well as open data and information technology infrastructure.

The Lincoln Network’s mission is to bridge the gap between innovators, technologists, and policymakers and to advance policy discussions. The group’s work on congressional capacity is rooted in the need to build strong institutions that support sound governance of innovation, capturing its benefits while mitigating its disruptive effects. This includes improving science and technology policy expertise in the legislative branch, as well as leveraging the Lincoln Network’s in-house technical expertise to improve capabilities and governance of Congress’ digital services and information technology infrastructure.
