Harvard’s Strategic Data Project (SDP) works with Overdeck Family Foundation to place highly trained data professionals into Overdeck-funded organizations that aim to improve the education system. Overdeck Strategic Data Project Fellows are embedded into each agency or organization for two years, receiving training from SDP to provide guidance around data infrastructure, collection, and analysis. Overdeck SDP Fellows’ goal is to strengthen internal R&D and lead alignment on measurement and evaluation for each organization.
Current fellows supported by Overdeck Family Foundation are active in Highlander Institute, CityBridge Education, Center for Leadership and Educational Equity, and NE Basecamp, all grantees of the Innovative Schools portfolio.
