Partnerships

Our Partnerships

Collaboration is crucial to GovEx’s ability to achieve its mission. We work with a wide range of partners, both within Johns Hopkins University and with other universities, government entities, and non-profit organizations.

Johns Hopkins University

Since its founding, GovEx has partnered with a range of schools and departments within the Johns Hopkins network, including Johns Hopkins Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Applied Physics Laboratory, and the Whiting School of Engineering, among many others. The most prominent collaboration, working with a wide range of university partners on the Coronavirus Resource Center, demonstrated GovEx’s ability to create highly impactful data models and visualizations and has led to a wide range of additional collaborations.

GovEx is also closely aligned with two significant new Johns Hopkins University institutions.

The new Data Science and AI Institute, announced in 2023, is hiring 80 new tenure-track faculty, 30 new endowed chairs as part of the Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships, and 30 AI-focused research scientists and engineers, all of whom will contribute to an enormous new body of knowledge that GovEx will draw from.

 

The School of Government and Policy, also announced in 2023, will be the university’s first new academic division since 2007, based at the university’s new Washington D.C. campus, the Hopkins Bloomberg Center. Continuing to function with autonomy, GovEx will operate as part of the new school, benefitting from robust academic resources while delivering on-the-ground experiences, research, and analysis to students, faculty and partners.

Bloomberg Philanthropies

Outside of the university, Bloomberg Philanthropies has been GovEx’s primary partner since the organization’s founding. GovEx collaborates with Bloomberg Philanthropies on a range of projects, including serving as the delivery partner for the Bloomberg Philanthropies City Data Alliance (CDA), where we provide executive coaching and delivering the program’s central curriculum, called the City Data Alliance Accelerator.

GovEx also works closely with the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University, home of the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative (BHCLI) and other national organizations such as Results for America.
