Overview
The Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences is a global network of scholars and institutions committed to improving the standards of openness and integrity in policy-oriented research. This grant will enable the Initiative to address the widening research capacity gap between scholars in the West and those in the Global South. The Initiative will do this through bringing visibility to research transparency efforts in resource-constrained institutions, providing hands-on training at UC Berkeley, in-country and online, and offering seed grants to support adoption of transparency best practices. The Initiative will translate dissemination and training materials into French and Spanish to increase accessibility.

Grants to this Grantee
for the East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative
The East Africa Social Science Translation Collaborative (EASST) enables East African researchers to conduct impact evaluations of social and economic programs, generating evidence for public policymaking. Researchers receive fellowships and grants at the University of California at Berkeley to carry out field studies, build capacity in African universities, and engage with governments. (Strategy: Evidence-Informed Policymaking)
for the Labor Center’s Power and Strategy project
The Labor Center, housed at the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment at University of California, Berkeley, will launch a comprehensive project to better understand the relationship between power and strategy in the social formations in which labor markets are embedded. The project will produce a scholarly monograph, a manual, and both academic and worker-oriented training curricula to teach power structure research skills to a variety of actors, including practitioners in the field.
for planning support of a new equity-centered research, policy, and practice university center
The mission of the Berkeley School of Education at UC Berkeley is to advance excellence and equity at all levels of public education. The school encompasses diverse students and faculty who are committed to equity and excellence in education as researchers, professional educators, leaders, and innovators. Students and faculty seek to address crucial and complex problems in education that hinder students’ ability to thrive. This grant will support the planning phase for a new center focused on equity-centered research, policy, and practice. (Substrategy: Educator Capacity)
