    Grant investigator: Lewis Bollard

    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Cynthia Schuck and Wladimir Alonso also reviewed this page prior to publication.


    The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a contract with researchers Cynthia Schuck and Wladimir Alonso for $100,000 to continue development of a model for evaluating disability-adjusted life year impacts of animal welfare reforms. This funding follows our February 2018 pilot support, and falls within our focus area of farm animal welfare. We expect to evaluate the merits of a longer renewal of our support in early 2019.

    This project was supported through a contractor agreement. While we typically do not publish pages for contractor agreements, we occasionally opt to do so.
