“What strategies can the PACS Institute adopt to attract funding from EA funding bodies?” and “Are there any specific projects or research areas that the PACS Institute should prioritize to align with EA principles and focus areas?”
I think the big one would be prioritisation, either along the lines of EA’s “Importance, Tractability and Neglectedness” framework or by prioritising conflicts that pose an existential risk to humanity.
For example, you might focus your institution’s work on the most unstable countries where war or civil war is most likely to break out, or on countries like Indian and Pakistan where conflict could quickly escalate to nuclear war.
“How can the PACS Institute collaborate with existing EA organizations and initiatives to maximize its impact?”
Perhaps getting in touch with Nuclear Threat Intiative would work well—they focus more on WMDs rather than conflict generally.
