Open Philanthropy recommended two grants totaling £1,298,023 ($1,586,224 at the time of conversion) to the Future of Humanity Institute to hire future scholars to its Research Scholars Programme. FHI is a multidisciplinary research institute working on global catastrophic risks at the University of Oxford.
