Good Ventures, with input from GiveWell, awarded a grant of $1,104,259 to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley (“UC Berkeley”) to support the Kenya Life Panel Survey Round 4 (KLPS-4), a follow-up study to assess the long-term impact of deworming on consumption. This grant was made as part of GiveWell's work to support research to further its understanding of its current priority programs, and is considered a GiveWell Incubation Grant.
The KLPS-4 project will follow up on the study that is most central to GiveWell's current view of deworming. GiveWell hopes that the results will provide a useful update to the evidence base for deworming, which could influence the amount of money that it recommends donating to deworming charities.
