National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC)

New public: this program's focus is on inspiring and connecting designers and technologists to build more flourishing, public-friendly digital spaces at a time when digital public space matters even more in peoples' lives. This team engaged experts across a wide variety of disciplines to understand what makes "public-friendly" spaces work. With that knowledge efforts shifted to helping inspire and shape new public platforms that will emerge in the years to come.

Census quality reinforcement task force: the census quality reinforcement (cqr) task force, created in 2019, is a non-partisan, multi-disciplinary learning community originally focused on helping to improve the accuracy of decennial census data, and fitness for three primary use cases: congressional apportionment, redistricting, and the distribution of federal funds. Following the 2020 count, the focus shifted to investigating processes for strengthening and improving the accuracy of annual population estimates, which determine the flow of $1.5 trillion a year in federal funding to communities.

Algorithmic transparency initiative: algorithms govern almost every facet of our daily lives. Personalized flows of data are generated by black boxes that we cannot interrogate, but that can significantly influence our decisions about what to buy, where to live or work, with whom to interact, and even what to believe. The algorithmic transparency initiative (ati) seeks to improve the transparency of algorithms that shape society by providing tools and data that can be leveraged by all to hold the powerful accountable.
