I am so happy to read this post, knowing Jake is working on this makes me glad. For sure I will be nudging more people I know to apply. I hope Coefficient gets really high quality applicants in this round.
In fact whenever I am asking for help to pivot towards contributing to the field I use the OP’s technical AIS RFP as a resource to get people to think about what kind of experiments they would want to do or upskill to be able to do. so “But grantmakers don’t just evaluate proposals; we elicit them.” is really powerful and true.
If there’s something you wish we were doing, there’s a good chance that the reason we’re not doing it is that we don’t have enough capacity to think about it much, or lack the right expertise to tell good proposals from bad. If you join cG and want to prioritize that work, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to make a lot of work happen in that area.
This definitely makes the role highly impactful and the main update I had from this is that it is more fun/motivating than you would have imagined. Thanks for sharing.
