Unfortunately we are unable to sponsor visas, so applicants must be eligible to work in the US.

Isn't it possible to simply contract (rather than employ) those who have or can get an ESTA, such that there's no need for a visa?

We're definitely not experts on this. It looks like contracting is not allowed, but "independent research" is. So citizens of VWP countries or those obtaining a B1 visa should be eligible to participate, but we would be unable to compensate them beyond incidental expenses (travel, food, and housing). I've updated the website to reflect this.

calebp·2d ago·8m read

The current Long Term Future Fund (LTFF) fund managers and I have decided to step back from our work on the LTFF. Because we believe LTFF donors trusted the fund managers to ensure that the funds would be used in line with the purposes of their donation, we've decided the right move is to close the fund. While LTFF is closing, note that EA Funds has launched a new fund...
