I am hugely grateful for the opportunity and participation award, but I’m sure like many other contest entrants, I submitted my entry in the belief that my cause area (TB) met and even exceeded the neglectedness, tractability, and cost-effectiveness criteria.

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to Open Philanthropy for taking this initiative. I would welcome another like it in the future.
