What happened to the Global Priorities Institute? Given that they published an updated research agenda ~8mo ago, seems somewhat abrupt.

Depends on the cause area!

Alakazam for aligned superintelligence

Blissey for movement building and/or GHD

Would nominate N (human) for animal welfare

Worst forum take of all time, mostly due to this: https://www.cgdev.org/million-lives-risk

This is really awesome! I was hoping someone from EA would implement something like this.

That's right! It seems like only PEPFAR has been waived, not other life-saving programs! I am working on PEPFAR right now but would urge other EAs to contribute to other aid-related causes

Update: Seems like PEPFAR is back for at least 90 days.

Update 2: The waiver only applies to PEPFAR, not other crucial aid programs.

Maybe, though if the pause itself will cause lots of harm, might be too many frictions to do so. Would work better if the ask is "restore PEPFAR after the pause." The other audience to target is pro-life evangelicals, which might be slightly easier on short notice

Thanks for the pointers!

I agree that a permanent stop is worse. Thanks for clarifying the situation during the pause; that sounds reassuring. Please keep the EA community updated!

Ok thanks, that matches my prior belief. However, I don't know if receiving organizations have the funding runway to keep programs running during the pause. Do we have good (back of the envelope) calculations about the effects of the full 90 day pause (even if it is reinstated)?
