To support early-career investigators.

Good Ventures awarded a grant of $195,000 to the Life Sciences Research Foundation to support young investigators in the life sciences. Good Ventures, with support from the Open Philanthropy Project, has been investigating how best to fund scientific research that might help reduce the future burden of Alzheimer's disease.

This grant is intended to support the one Fellow this year working on Alzheimer's-relevant research.
