Do you know if GiveWell or any other charitable orgs are funding research that could get us to a release day faster? This seems like possibly one of the most cost-effective public health interventions of all time.
EDIT: I realized Google is a thing, so I googled it and it looks like Open Phil made at least two grants for gene drive research.

Looks like they sponsored a $1.2 million grant all the way back in 2016 for research on gene drives.
Here’s another grant for $17 mil from 2017
And it looks like the Gates Foundation has donated at least $10 million as well.
Yes, they are funding the Crisanti lab and others.
