Best I've come up with so far:
The Institute for Advanced Sanity
I like this. Or more generally, I like having "Advanced Sanity" in the name.
Of course, I then wondered if anyone else was using the phrase "Advanced Sanity" (and if I'd taken it from somewhere). The first few hits were all Eliezer on LW, and other people only seem to put together those words accidentally.
I like that name in the abstract but worry about associations with mental health.
Even actual mental health gets "who are they to tell us what's sane and what isn't" reactions every now and then. An organization that doesn't start out with a massive positive reputation might fare worse.
"Advanced Sanity" matches a strong comparative qualifier to a basic trait. While "sanity" has problems, as mentioned below, I think the phrase derives much of its power from its underlying pattern, which can be used in other suggestions.
First ones that come to mind with this structure:
Intelligent Winning
Calculated Success
Acting for Success
Intelligent Change
Rational Success
Purposeful Rationality
Purposeful Wisdom
Purposeful Thought
Purposeful Strategy
& whatever institute, foundation, center etc. bits people want to add on.
Super Sapiens! ...I mean sapience.
Adroit Acumen
Elevated Erudition
Superb Sagacity
Crack Contemplation
