From mid-2018 through early 2024, the BHP Foundation--a charitable organization that works to address social and environmental challenges--supported the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution in its efforts to accelerate global educational progress. CUE's funded work included several initiatives that were characterized by collaborative innovation to address shared challenges across different educational systems and applied research about how to scale effective interventions across different geographic and organizational contexts. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in the United States, CUE is a well-established actor in global educational policy research and systems change work. Developing and leveraging networks of professional collaboration to promote evidence use in education was one goal of the BHP Foundation's funded work. In this case study--which is part of a broader RAND evaluation of the BHP Foundation's work in the education sector--the authors focus specifically on how CUE interacted with its network of international partners to help achieve mutual goals. The analysis is descriptive rather than evaluative and is aimed at summarizing how CUE uses its network and exploring what CUE staff believe to be key facilitators of their work. In this case study, the authors focus on the following three research questions: (1) What was the scale and characteristics of the global network of organizations that CUE engaged over the course of its BHP Foundation-sponsored work?; (2) How did CUE leverage that network to advance its evidence-to-practice objectives in the funded workstreams?; and (3) What lessons has CUE learned about effective approaches to developing and maximizing the utility of its network?
