When we report on our recommended charities such as the Against Malaria Foundation, we try to add to what Givewell has already researched and believe that they’ll hopefully take this into account in their future reports. For instance, here’s our new report on AMF:
where we cite research that hasn’t been taken into account by Givewell as of yet.
We’re also in contact with Givewell about their reports when we uncover errors (conceptual and factual). So far I’ve only had one email conversation with Givewell’s Jake Marcus about what I perceived as a misinterpretation about the decline in worm burden with age—but we ended up agreeing that we have different interpretation of the statistics.

a lot of the research cited in this report has not been taken into account by Givewell I believe.
Also look at our recent report on SCI here:
