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

    The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a planning grant of $25,000 to Professor Percy Liang at Stanford University. This grant was recommended to enable Professor Liang to spend significant time engaging in our process to determine whether to provide his research group with a much larger grant. We did end up recommending that larger grant, which we have written about in more detail here.
