Lab Safety Procedures/PPE/Sanitation: I think I have some ideas for where I could start on that? BSL is probably a good place to start.
I’d feel pretty weird posting about that on LessWrong, tbh? (I still might, though.)
I don’t currently feel like writing this. But, I’ll keep it in mind as a possibility.
Summary of orgs, positions, room-for-funding: I do not have the means, access, clearance, or credentials to do this. (I don’t care about me lacking some of those credentials, but other people have made it clear that they do.)
I really would like this to exist! I get the sense that better people than me have tried, and were usually were only able to get part-way, but I haven’t tracked it recently. This has led me to assume that this task is more difficult than you’d expect. I have seen a nice copy of a biosecurity-relevant-orgs spreadsheet circulating at one point, though (which I think could get partial-credit).
The closest thing I probably could output are some thoughts on what broad-projects or areas of research seem likely to be valuable and/or underfunded. But I would expect it to be lower-resolution, and less valuable to people.
Edit: Just separating this for coherence’s sake
