Overview

Note: Applications are open until further notice and will be assessed on a rolling basis.This is a wide-ranging call for applications, seeking to fund programs and events in a variety of areas of interest to Open Philanthropy — including effective altruism, global catastrophic risks, biosecurity, AI for epistemics, forecasting, and other areas. In general, if the topic of your program or event falls within one of our GCR focus areas, or if it’s similar to work we’ve funded in the past in our GCR focus areas, it may be a good fit for this program. If you’re unsure about whether to submit your application, we’d encourage you to err on the side of doing so. By “programs and events” we mean scholarship or fellowship programs, internships, residencies, visitor programs, courses, seminars, conferences, workshops, retreats, etc., including both in-person and online activities. We’re open to funding programs or events aimed at individuals at any career stage, and with a wide range of potential purposes, including teaching new skills, providing new career opportunities, offering mentorship, or facilitating networking.
