Hire a Research Director who would spend most of their time absorbing and communicating the evidence for our and GiveWell’s recommended charities in order to i) drive up membership through talks, media, etc ii) drive more of our members’ donations to our top recommended charities.
The research director would not actually be directing research into which charity was best?
They would be making these decisions but would mostly be relying on primary data collected by others. GiveWell is producing so much information these days that this seems a better way to contribute.
This could be different if we hired someone who was better suited to doing charity evaluations from scratch themselves.
