Rita Allen Foundation donations received

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.

Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses

Intended use of funds: Grant to provide three years in flexible support to three scholars identified by the American Pain Society in collaboration with the Rita Allen Foundation as excellent researchers in the fields of pain, neuroscience, anesthesiology and neurology. The scholars are: Jordan McCall, assistant professor, Washington University St. Louis; Peter Grace, assistant professor, MD Anderson Center Texas; and Vivianne Tawfik, assistant professor, Stanford University.

Donor reason for donating that amount (rather than a bigger or smaller amount): Amount likely determined by the number of researchers being funded and the total cost of funding them for three years. No explicit discussion of reason for amount on the grant page

Other notes: Intended funding timeframe in months: 36; announced: 2019-06-26.
