In collaboration with our partners, we administer fellowships and research grants that create new relevant knowledge, support emerging fields of study that illuminate and address new societal challenges, produce and translate timely, accessible, and actionable research, convene innovation networks connecting researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders, support new generations of researchers and innovators, and provide efficient and responsive fiscal sponsorship for mission-adjacent projects.
