I think that’s only barely true. The closest thing might be the LTF-Fund and BERI. MIRI has done a bit of support of independent researchers in their work on MIRI-X and operational support for AI Impacts, but neither of those two projects is trying to directly incentivize independent research.
I think EA-Grants has given away some money for research, but not super much and I don’t really anything for AI-Alignment related things.
Well, I think there are institutions offering money to independent researchers, just not actively seeking them out and recruiting as such.
