Carnegie Challenge for Civic Leadership

Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program (Focus on Political Polarization) is sponsored by Carnegie Corporation of New York. This program supports scholarly research into the causes of political polarization and ways to mitigate it, aiming to strengthen forces of cohesion and fortify democracy. While primarily for individual scholars, the research contributes to the knowledge base for organizations working in civic engagement and anti-polarization.

International Program: Preventing and Managing Conflict, Movements of People, and Non-State Actors is sponsored by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Carnegie Corporation's International Program supports initiatives that prevent and manage conflict, focusing on global security and stability and the influence of non-state actors. They fund academic research, evidence-based policymaking, and international collaborations.

Polycentric Multilateralism: Reimagining the Roles of International Institutions in Space Governance and Beyond is sponsored by Carnegie Corporation of New York (awarded via Ostrom Workshop at Indiana University). The Ostrom Workshop, in partnership with Laval University, received a grant to expand their study of governance in space, specifically applying a polycentric approach to the governance of critical transnational challenges and global commons. While the specific grant has been awarded, the ongoing research and working groups at the Ostrom Workshop indicate a continued interest in this area, and future federal opportunities might arise from this line of inquiry.

Carnegie Young Leaders is sponsored by Carnegie Corporation of New York / Institute for Citizens & Scholars. This program empowers young people (ages 14–24) to create civic solutions in their own communities. It provides funding, coaching, and a national peer network to help youth-led teams tackle community challenges and develop essential civic skills like productive conversations, using credible information, and collaborating.
