Desc	Texas 2036 focused on sustaining and expanding economic opportunity and quality of life for all Texans by engaging in data-informed, long-term, pragmatic policy development. In 2020, despite the challenges wrought by COVID-19, Texas 2036 made substantial progress towards its goals. In June, Texas 2036 released Shaping Our Future: A Strategic Framework for the Future of Texas, the culmination of more than two years of research and evaluation. The Framework establishes 36 goals for Texas to accomplish by 2036. Each goal includes multiple indicators measuring where Texas is today, sets measurable targets for 2036, compares the state's performance to peer states, and identifies some of the challenges the state will face in meeting the goals. The organization prioritized policy goals relevant to the 2021 Legislative session and completed research and resource development in support of those priorities. Additionally, Texas 2036 was actively engaged in many statewide efforts to improve the lives of Texans including: the Task Force to Reopen Texas, which advised the Governor on the state's response to COVID; Operation Connectivity, which worked across agencies, school districts, and local communities to ensure students have internet access and devices to continue learning from home when schools closed during the pandemic; and the Tri-Agency Commission, which worked on common and aligned strategic planning between the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and the Texas Workforce Commission. Additionally, among many other efforts, Texas 2036 launched Digital Texas, a coalition to ensure broadband access across the state and Aim Hire Texas, a multi-partner, multi-year effort to increase the number of Texans earning a living wage and ensure the Texas workforce is a strategic advantage for the state. Additional significant research efforts in 2020 included modeling the impact on coverage eligibility, federal funds access, and state expenditures for more than 500 health coverage policy scenarios; the monitoring of federal fund allocation, particularly COVID-related stimulus funding that was/is available to the State of Texas; and consideration of how future changes in global oil markets could impact education funding in Texas.

Desc	Texas 2036's commitment to developing novel, high-quality data tools to inform policymakers and practitioners as well as to help educate and empower Texans remains central to the work and mission of Texas 2036. In 2020, Texas 2036 continued the development and expansion of the Texas 2036 Data Lab, a robust store of Texas-oriented data. Additionally, the organization launched the Strategic Framework Indicators site, which houses the indicators identified in the Texas 2036 Strategic Framework and enables users to explore the indicators in greater depth (including disaggregation), to see Texas' performance on secondary indicators the organization is also tracking, and to learn more about the underlying data sources. In response to the spread of COVID-19 in Texas, the organization rapidly built and launched the COVID-19 Tracker, which displayed not only health-related data like test positivity rates, ICU bed availability, and mortality rates by county and trauma service region in Texas, but also integrated economic and mobility data to give a more holistic picture of the impact the pandemic was having. The site has been visited hundreds of thousands of times since its launch and continues to be updated, including with vaccination data. Additionally, Texas 2036 supported the research and piloting of efforts to improve data analysis and utilization to support rapid and equitable access to COVID testing and vaccinations. Texas 2036 also worked on the development of data projects for release in 2021. These projects include an interactive modeling tool which builds on Texas 2036's work on health coverage expansion modeling and allows users to make their own selections of policy options and see the estimated impact on coverage rates, federal funding access, and state expenditures in real time. The organization also worked on the development of a tool that will allow users to explore critical health issues facing Texans across life stages and the clinical and policy implications of these challenges. And the organization continued its work to make education and workforce data more accessible and user-friendly to improve the educational achievement and employment outcomes of Texans.	Desc

Desc	Texas 2036 believes that the engagement and involvement of Texans from across the state is critical to shaping a vibrant and prosperous future for all. In 2020, Texas 2036 focused on expanding its reach and ability to communicate with Texans and to share the informative, accessible, and helpful policy and data resources it was developing and releasing. This included engaging in hundreds of conversations, presentations, and interviews regarding the Texas 2036 Strategic Framework; the creation of Straight Talk Texas, an interview series with a diverse list of expert guests talking about some of the most interesting and pressing issues facing our state; and the launch of regular email updates to tens of thousands of Texans. Additionally, Texas 2036 significantly expanded its presence and activity on social media, resulting in continued growth of followers across all platforms who are learning about the biggest issues facing Texas and what thoughtful, pragmatic solutions to these challenges could look like. Texas 2036 also participated in conferences, presentations, roundtables, and meetings with policy makers, business executives, community leaders, and Texans across the Lone Star State to share our data and research and to encourage thoughtful, sensible, long-term solutions to the systemic challenges the State of Texas will face over the next decade and a half.
