Stanford Impact Labs just awarded $4 million in Stage 2: Test Solutions investments. It's going to teams of scholars and practitioners working together on misinformation, polarization, and democracy; racial bias in healthcare, housing, and schools; and tax havens and global financial risks. Michael Eddy and Pallavi Trikutam manage the investment process and share three big takeaways.
In June 2022, eleven faculty members from our design fellowship presented ideas in progress for new research partnerships. Those partnerships aim to reduce disease in California prisons, increase school choice in Chile, improve gender representation in parliamentary politics in India, enhance postpartum mental health care, reduce harms from racial stress and trauma for students, and build new evidence and tools for asylum seekers and migration policies. Panelists with experience in government, private philanthropy, venture capital, tech start-ups, and community and advocacy organizations offered insights and advice to inform the fellows' next steps.
