On October 1, the Foundation hosted a virtual panel titled “Critical Race Perspectives on
the Use of Research Evidence,” featuring researchers Jamila Michener, Janelle Scott, and
Fabienne Doucet discussing ideas about how to center race in efforts to improve the use of
research in policy and practice. As Senior VP of Program Vivian Tseng remarked at the
outset of the event, the Foundation's work on the use of research evidence "has
often neglected to account for the ways in which race and racism matter for what research
is produced, which research is used, and who benefits from the ways research is deployed.
… It is our hope that that a critical race lens can help us envision ways of bringing
research to bear on policies, practices, and movements that disrupt racial hierarchies.”

INSIGHT & ANALYSIS
President’s Comment: Anti-Racist Education is Essential for Research Universities

By Adam Gamoran
As the President of a Foundation whose research grantees are almost uniformly also funded
by the federal government, I am appalled by the recent OMB directive and presidential
executive order prohibiting anti-racist training for federal agencies, contractors, and
grantees. In a new post for the NYU Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the
Transformation of Schools, I've issued a statement on these actions: “For a nation
founded on principles of equality which have never been fully realized, nothing could be
more patriotic” than cultivating in researchers a deep understanding of injustice and
encouraging them “to carry out studies that develop and test strategies to dismantle
systems of racial and economic inequality.”
