The program offers two tracks: Embedded Fellows, who work with host organizations to address targeted community challenges, and Independent Fellows, who pursue ambitious, field-defining work with broad impact. Projects span areas such as user privacy, AI accountability, climate justice, creator rights, data democratization, and open infrastructure.
