- Has anyone found out where Longview's Nuclear Weapons Policy Fund grants to? I'm having trouble get a good picture of their grants, evaluation process, and of the larger space.
- Related, how do folks think about / evaluate organizations in this space? Like, how do you compare Nuclear Threat Initiative vs Center for Arms Control & Nonproliferation vs Arms Control Association?; the best I've got is a backwards-looking "have there been many/any alums of this organization going into government"?
- Unrelated - https://erictopol.substack.com/p/long-covid-mitochondria-the-big-miss - the author makes the case that the RECOVER Long Covid grants didn't fund worthwhile work and there's unlikely to be more funding. Is this a space for a 'Fast Grants'-type structure or other backstopping?
