This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
John Merck Fund | 35,000.00 | 2 | Environment | https://www.jmfund.org/program-grants/ | -- | To draw on the best available research and coordinate leading scientists to develop a clear and compelling record on the sources, environmental effects, and benefits of reducing mercury pollution; inform and educate the media on the science of mercury pollution; and promote scientifically-sound public policy at the state and national level. | |
John Merck Fund | 5,000.00 | 4 | Environment | https://www.jmfund.org/program-grants/ | -- | To call attention to air monitoring sites in New England to protect against biological agents in air and water. | |
John Merck Fund | 60,000.00 | 1 | Environment | https://www.jmfund.org/program-grants/ | -- | To increase understanding among policymakers and heighten public awareness of the damaging ecosystem effects from nitrogen pollution in the Northeastern US; and to make scientific information more readily usable for nonscientists who are determining environmental policies. | |
John Merck Fund | 35,000.00 | 2 | Environment | https://www.jmfund.org/program-grants/ | -- | To launch the Science Links project, which aims to improve the flow of information about environmental issues between scientists and policymakers. With an initial focus on acid rain and a subsequent expansion to other air emissions from power plants, Hubbard Brook’s research foundation will make scientific information more readily usable for nonscientists who are determining environmental policies and, at the same time, facilitate scientists’ involvement in public discussions about environmental issues. |
