I see that this is your first Forum post. Good work!
Did you know that Open Philanthropy, the largest grantmaker guided by EA principles, funds a lot of scientific research? Their page says:
We believe scientific progress has been, and will continue to be, one of the biggest contributors to improvements in human wellbeing, and we hope to play a part in this.
We aim to support research that could affect a large number of people. We primarily support biomedical research but our interests are not limited to any particular field, disease, condition, or population. Instead, we seek to identify scientific research that has the potential for high impact and is under-supported by other funders. We are excited to support high-risk and unconventional science when the potential impact is sufficiently large.
Besides funding scientific research directly, Open Phil is exploring ways to accelerate scientific and technological progress through better institutions and policies (while trying to avoid increasing catastrophic risks from frontier technologies).

I didn’t know that, thanks for pointing that out!
