    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $250,000 to the Center for Population-Level Bioethics at Rutgers University for general support. The Center for Population-Level Bioethics was recently launched by Professor Nir Eyal, a professor of bioethics at Rutgers University, who co-authored a paper earlier this year on the idea of and preconditions for employing human challenge trials to accelerate a COVID-19 vaccine. This funding is intended to support the Center for Population-Level Bioethics’s efforts to analyze paths to testing vaccine safety and efficacy that could best combine speed, safety, and high ethical standards.

    This falls within our focus area of biosecurity and pandemic preparedness.
