add and incorporate the parts of other recent reviews that are most relevant to effective giving, meta-analysis, and curation work (including yours)
work to find, build, and improve systems for assessing the state of the evidence on each barrier/motivator
summarize these into key ‘action points’ for our market testing project (in our gitbook/wiki)
But this part of the project is a bit distinct, requiring particular skills and focus. It might be worth trying to organize a way to divide things up so that this ‘literature synthesis and meta-analysis’ is ‘owned’ by a single member of our team. If we are ‘all doing everything’ context-switching can really be a drag.
Yeah, in hindsight, I that offers a better initial source for picking ideas to prioritise than the database which is just individual papers. I like the ideas you mentioned about the website and I think that there is definitely a need for more work on it—ideally with a single product owner who can improve the presentation and user experience and so on. I think it has a lot of promise!
Ah, just getting this turn of phrase—“Many Labs Project + EA”. That would be very nice to engineer and organize.
I’m glad to see that this is coming along; we’ve discussed it before. I’m working continue to update and build the “Increasing effective charitable giving: The puzzle, what we know, what we need to know next which works to outline the theories and evidence on the ‘barriers to effective giving’ and promising ‘tools’ for surmounting these.
