Overview
This grant to Stanford University will support a project centered on observing bat bioindicators whose population fluctuations provide an early warning system for environmental degradation from disruptions such as climate change, herbicides, and urban encroachment. Stanford’s Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve comprises 1,190 acres and has been protected and used for environmental observation and experimentation for over a century. The project will assemble an instrument on the preserve’s land that will observe responses of bats to environmental change at details not currently attained. The planned instrument will eventually be suitable for deployment across the globe, providing an international network for observing the health of agricultural regions.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of a neuroimaging study of racial bias and professional investors
SPARQ, a research center at Stanford University, seeks to reduce societal disparities and social divides using behavioral science. This grant will support research to examine racial diversity in the financial services industry. It is expected that this information will be used to develop strategies and practices to reduce biases that contribute to racial disparities.
for support of the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society
The Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society is an interdisciplinary research center for students, scholars, and practitioners to generate knowledge and share ideas that contribute to social change. The center provides research fellowships for students, funding for faculty research, and an array of courses and gatherings for different audiences. It is also home to the Stanford Social Innovation Review, one of the social sector’s preeminent magazines and online journals. This grant provides general (program) support as part of the Knowledge for Better Philanthropy strategy.
