The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $1,500,000 over three years to the Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN) to support the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium (SSGAC). Approximately 20% of this grant is intended to support work on bioethics and the public discussion of these topics.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s August 2016 support for IFN and falls within its interest in scientific research, specifically within their interest in advancing tools and techniques.
