Overview
A grant to the University of California at Berkeley will support the ongoing work of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, the home of this research and engagement at the university. The center focuses on both the “cyber” and “security” components of cybersecurity, grounding efforts in a robust, flexible, and evolving understanding of the “possibility” space of cybersecurity. Research will focus on possible security scenarios and explore the technical, political, and economic intersection of these potential futures. The aim of this approach is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the center as well as to add diversity to the cybersecurity conversation. The center brings together academics from the School of Information, the School of Law, Computer Science, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the College of Engineering, among others. It also engages external stakeholders in all facets of this work, including in outreach efforts. (Strategy: Talent Pipeline)

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Political Psychology of American Democracy project
The Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) at UC Berkeley is a graduate school that engages in research and analysis while also training students to deploy a broad toolkit for problem-solving. This grant supports GSPP’s Political Psychology of American Democracy project, which will launch a three-wave national public opinion study that tracks and analyzes the public’s political attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors toward democracy.
for support of the CEGA Global Networks Program
The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California at Berkeley works to produce rigorous evidence about what works to expand education, health, and economic opportunities for people living in poverty. This grant supports CEGA’s set of interconnected activities, including hosting fellowships for social scientists from East and West Africa, organizing convenings that connect African scholars to global networks of faculty and Ph.D. students for mentorship and collaboration, and increasing access to research, dissemination, and policy engagement opportunities for African researchers.
