Overview
This grant to New York University would assemble a database of research by the World Bank and Innovations for Poverty Action that assessed programs intended to foster women’s empowerment. The University would work with scholars from low- and middle-income countries to assess, harmonize, and re-analyze the studies to answer questions of how, for whom, and under what conditions programs work, and to harvest lessons to guide future research, interventions, and policy development.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Center for Social Media and Politics
The Center for Social Media and Politics at New York University supports lab-based, interdisciplinary research in three core areas: (a) the relationship between social media and politics, with particular emphasis on the production, flow, and impact of information on social media; (b) innovative ways to use social media data to study politics; and (c) the development of open-source tools that facilitate the use of social media data for the study of politics. By disseminating the lab’s research to those outside the scholarly community — including the media, government, and civic and philanthropic organizations — the center will inform ongoing discussions about the effects of social media on democratic politics.
for the Tax Law Center
Launched in January 2021, the Tax Law Center at the NYU School of Law seeks to build a stronger and more equitable tax system. Recently passed federal legislation leans heavily on tax policy to accelerate decarbonization. This grant will support the center’s efforts to inform tax policy in the public interest through rigorous, high-impact legal work. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
for the Initiative for Community Power at NYU School of Law
The Initiative for Community Power at NYU is an ambitious, multifaceted project to catalyze understanding, innovation, high-impact work, and social change. The initiative combines scholarship, field-building, experiential education, academic convenings, internships, and fellowships to examine how inequality functions, is exacerbated, and can most effectively be disrupted — in our economy and democracy. The initiative is sponsored by the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law at NYU School of Law and NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.
