Executive summary: Open Philanthropy has updated its career development and transition funding program to broaden eligibility and clarify the range of supported activities.
Key points:
The program now supports career development for later-career individuals, not just early-career.
A wider range of activities is explicitly supported, like unpaid internships, self-study, career exploration, and obtaining certifications.
The Biosecurity Scholarship program has been merged into this broader career development program.
Examples show the program funds transitions into technical AI safety research, policy careers, journalism covering existential risks, and more.
The updates reflect what Open Phil has already been funding in practice through this program.
See the program page for full details on eligibility and supported activities.
