Help high impact academics spend more time doing research
Empowering exceptional people
Top academic researchers are key drivers of progress in priority areas like biorisk, global priorities research and AI research. Yet even top academics are often unable to spend as much time as they want to on their research.
We’d be excited to fund an organisation providing centralised services to maximise research time for top academics, while minimising the overheads of setting up these systems for academics. It might focus on:
(1) Funding and negotiating teaching buy-outs,
(2) Providing an efficient shared team of PAs to handle admin, streamline academic service duties, submit papers, scout and screen PhD students, and accelerate literature surveys.
As AI research assistants like Elicit improve, this organisation could scalably offload work to these services.
