This is hard to answer without knowing the exact counterfactual. I’d value you going deeper on topics you have the most information on, and my guess is EAIF is not your comparative advantage, but if there isn’t a specific other post you’re excited about I’d much rather have EAIF than nothing. I thought it might be helpful to give ideas of posts I’d be interested in from you, specifically:
what do you want to see in the impact or theories of change section? (related)
the practicalities of living off of grants as an independent. do people ask for enough? how bad is it if you ask for too much? how do you structure work to avoid gaps between grants?
how do you evaluate results from independent researchers?
how do you evaluate the success of grants for upskilling or exploration?
how do you evaluate work from other kinds of independent grant recipients (AXRP and Rob Miles’s youtube channel come to mind, but probably there are more grants that are even harder to categorize)?

what do you regret not funding?
