| 2001 | November | Fouding | The Center for Global Development is founded by former senior U.S. official Edward W. Scott, director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, C. Fred Bergsten, and Nancy Birdsall. Scott provided $25 million in funding, of which $5 million was provided to the IIE (under Bergsten) to help the CGD get off the ground; Birdsall would lead the newly formed CGD.[1]:20 |
| 2002 | Team | After finishing his Ph.D. at Harvard University, Michael Clemens joins CGD as a Research Fellow.[2][1] Clemens was originally considering continuing in academia, and his joining CGD is partly attributed to the strong footing for the institution created by funder Ed Scott and president Nancy Birdsall.[1] Clemens would go on to become a Senior Fellow and Research Manager in 2010.[2] | |
