This award contributes to list-serv activities, the development of a new website and social media strategy, and meetings to determine a future funding stream.

Based at Columbia University, the Declassification Engine is a new multidisciplinary initiative bringing together social scientists and data scientists to help break the logjam within the U.S. government over how to manage official secrecy in the age of "big data." By developing new computational methods and creating open source tools, it seeks to demonstrate how technology can ensure maximum efficiency, transparency, and accountability consistent with national security imperatives, with the aim of helping to improve and expedite the declassification process. At the same time, this technology will help citizens take ownership of the public record and hold government more accountable on the choices made about secrecy.
