Open Philanthropy recommended two grants totaling £1,298,023 ($1,586,224 at the time of conversion) to the Future of Humanity Institute to hire future scholars to its Research Scholars Programme. FHI is a multidisciplinary research institute working on global catastrophic risks at the University of Oxford.
This grant follows Open Philanthropy's July 2018 support. While Open Philanthropy sees the basic pros and cons of this support similarly to what it has presented in past writeups on the matter, its ultimate grant figure was set by the aggregated judgments of Open Philanthropy's committee reviewing the grant proposal.
