Research on predicting interest in EA/longtermism
Effective altruism, Research that will help us improve
In order to help movement-builders better target their efforts, research on how to identify people who are more likely than average to be receptive to EA/longtermism could be quite impactful. Facilitating this research in the behavioral sciences can be done by funding fellowships, grants, and collaboration opportunities on the topic.

Lucius Caviola and colleagues are working on this. Doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be more efforts like that or that they don’t need help. :-)
