    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Biosecure staff also reviewed this page prior to publication.

    The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a contract of $25,000 with Biosecure Ltd to support research for a campaign against biological weapons. Biosecure Ltd intends to use these funds to explore different models for strengthening the societal norm against biological weapons and reducing the likelihood of an arms race involving biological weapons, as well as investigating the feasibility, costs, and potential benefits of the various models.

    This funding is discretionary and falls within our focus area of biosecurity and pandemic preparedness. This project was supported through a contractor agreement. While we typically do not publish pages for contractor agreements, we occasionally opt to do so.
