I don’t know whether any employees of grant-making organizations monitor the Forum. Open Phil rarely funds unsolicited proposals and has no formal process for accepting them. You can sign up here to be notified when the next round of the Effective Altruism Grants program begins, though I don’t know whether your project would be a good candidate for funding.
Have you spoken to any nonprofits that specialize in funding Crohn’s research? The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation seems to be a prominent example of that category.
Hi Aaron, Thank you very much for looking into possible funding sources. I met with the Canadian foundation six months ago (I’m Canadian). They told me they were tapped out (funding-wise) for the foreseeable future, and did not have time to look into this in detail. I did not reach out to the American foundation. In a continued attempt to fund the replication of Samuel et al 2010, I then looked for wealthy donors in the Montreal area. I did not manage to get the full sum by mid-October, after three months of trying very hard to put this sum together, and the private funding effort stalled.
