Overview
A grant to the University of California at Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity would support the development of a detailed study of the privacy policy implications of the Internet of Things. It would fill a gap in the current literature and inform public debate by: (1) developing a contextual understanding of the IoT ecosystem; (2) identifying open research questions; (3) providing a taxonomy and framework for thinking through potential policy interventions; and, (4) separating actual risk from alarmism.

Grants to this Grantee
for big city district and university social studies professional learning community
UC Berkeley, in partnership with Loyola University Chicago, is facilitating the Big City Social Studies Group, a collective of large city school districts and university partners that meet regularly to address common challenges in the teaching of social studies in K-12 schools. This grant will support the development of internal capacity to formalize membership, establish protocols, collaboratively identify strategic projects, and publicly communicate learnings. The group will examine large urban district social studies departments’ and university partners’ current and future directions as they seek to create a model of networked expertise and district-university partnerships that can influence the broader field of social studies education. (Substrategy: Sustainable Systems)
for a joint initiative to explore inclusion in global development research
The East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative enables East African researchers to conduct impact evaluations of social and economic programs, generating evidence for public policymaking. Researchers receive fellowships and grants from the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California at Berkeley to carry out field studies, build capacity in African universities, and engage with governments. This supplemental grant will enable CEGA to work with African researchers and research institutions to encourage equitable partnerships between scholars across continents. Its aim is to change norms and practices across the field, not just in its own work. (Strategy: Evidence-Informed Policymaking)
