I just published this, and it’s not immediately clear to me whether or not I put it in the right place, as a personal post. I expected to be asked “where do you want to publish this” when I clicked “publish”. I’ll try to make sure it’s in the right place but this interface is not transparent to me.
(based on the retracted state it looks like you’re no longer confused about this, but for the benefit of anyone else: all posts go to the personal blog section initially, and mods move posts that are a good fit for the frontpage to the frontpage. I’m leaving this on the personal blog section since it deals with EA/rationalsphere internal politics which is something we avoid for frontpage.)
I do agree this is a pretty important question. I agree with Elo you may want to post on the EA Forum. It also may be a good use of the ‘question’ format.
I think there are basically several organizations (OpenPhil, CEA, BERI, EA Funds) that have various grant programs, with varying degrees of “this seems like it might fit their mission”, and a good next step would be to do a breadth first search of their admissions process.
(something I’m hoping can happen sometime soon is for those grantmaking bodies to build more common infrastructure so applying for multiple grants isn’t so much duplicated effort and the process is easier to navigate, but I think that’ll be awhile)
