    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $210,000 to the Berkeley Existential Risk Initiative (BERI) to provide stipends for the Stanford Existential Risks Initiative (SERI) summer research fellowship program.

    This follows our January 2020 support for BERI and our January 2021 support for SERI and falls within our work on global catastrophic risks.
