Open Philanthropy recommended a gift of $100,796 over two years to Stanford University to support research led by Dr. Jenna Forsyth to develop and demonstrate a new reference method for measuring lead in paint, using portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) devices. We’re also supporting this project with grants to Mercer University and the Lead Exposure Elimination Project.

This falls within our focus area of global public health policy.
