As a university student, I have no idea whether this would work, but maybe a faculty member could advertise and run an introductory EA fellowship for academics, maybe modified to be more research-focused and offering a competitive stipend for participating.
Yes. I think we can essentially nerd-snipe academics. Maybe get a bunch of social scientists and have a mini-conference about what other EA researchers are doing: say AI governance, forecasting, etc.
It gives them a network, an idea of what others are doing, and accelerated intro into EA.

Does seem like the ROI could be large.
