    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $8,000,000 over three years to the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) to support its biosecurity program. NTI is a nonprofit global security organization focused on reducing nuclear and biological threats imperiling humanity. This funding is intended to support NTI’s work to reduce Global Catastrophic Biological Risks, enhance biosecurity, and advance pandemic preparedness.

    This follows our October 2017 and November 2018 support and falls within our focus area of biosecurity and pandemic preparedness.

    The grant amount was updated in August 2020 and January 2021.
