thank you for your sharing :) as somebody who experienced social mobility during the recent years, I feel extremely anxious sometimes thinking about how much of a better place I am in right now compared to my people who suffered the same things as me, my community, and every other lives. But also every other day I realize the better i treat myself, the more capacity i gain to help out more people. it's more effective that I resolve my guilt properly so I can direct more of my resources and energy towards helping others. Please remember, you're a part of the lives you can save as well!

I'm new to applying for an AIS grant, so I have some common questions that might have been answered elsewhere:

(1) what are some failure modes that I might need to consider when writing a proposal, specifically for a research project?

(2) will research expenses include stipends for the researchers?

(3) can I write a grant to do a research project with my university AI safety group? I'm not sure if this will be considered a field-building or a technical AI safety grant.

My first EAG is coming up within the next 10 days. Thank you for many helpful advice that encouraged me to go all out for my first EAG as well. This will for sure be a great test for my upper bound limits!
