Overview
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 offer virtual scholarships, with the goal of bolstering participants’ capacity to conduct and drive the use of policy relevant impact evaluations. The grant will also enable CEGA to determine whether and how to integrate virtual fellowships into its ongoing work. (Strategy: Evidence-Informed Policymaking)

Grants to this Grantee
for the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity
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)
