Hi Peter. I’ll be joining GPP in January. Niel and Rob have both said exactly what I’d say on the point of GPP. I’d perhaps add that GPP has been experimenting with a number of avenues towards impact using the outcome of its research. We’ll be deciding exactly what approach seems most promising early in the new year, and that will be really important for shaping the organisation. My current hypothesis is that out biggest comparative advantage as an EA org is in tools for policy rather than for EAs, though obviously many things useful for one can be made useful for the other. From your comment it sounds like you had some specific ideas for things you thought GPP could be bringing to EAs, PM me and I’d love to chat about it.

Yeah, that sounds like fun. I’d be happy to expand on this some, but it’s not relevant to the discussion here. It would be good to chat regardless. Feel free to reach me at peter@peterhurford.com.
I think that a lot of what GPP could do is also well covered by GiveWell Labs.

I absolutely agree with this (and am delighted by it). GPP is likely to look for things which are either very distinct from or complementary to the kind of work OPP does.
