Thanks for this, Kevin. I’ll let Lewis and Toni or Jamie address your other questions, but would like to clarify how Effective Giving uses research. While we do draw on the work OpenPhil and ACE when advising some donors, I conducted independent research and worked with external advisors and researchers when shortlisting potential grants for the EA Animal Welfare Fund (external to OpenPhil, ACE, and Effective Giving!). I hope this is helpful.

Thank you!
Thanks Josh. I agree our approach was ‘hits based’, and I expect we will follow up on the grants informally within 6 months or so of making them. As Lewis mentioned, we hope to be able to share what we learn from the follow-up at some point.
