To investigate the feasibility of conducting a high-quality follow-up study to prior deworming studies.

The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a GiveWell Incubation Grant of $18,000 to the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the feasibility of conducting a high-quality follow-up study on a deworming evaluation conducted in Tanzania in the mid-1990s. GiveWell Incubation Grants are recommended by GiveWell staff, and support the development of potential future top charities.

The project will be led by Professor Edward Miguel and the funds are intended to cover the costs of a summer research assistant to support the investigation, including travel to Tanzania.
