Medical Expenses for CHAI PhD Student, Oct 2023

Read more ▾

**Main points in favor of this grant**

I don't have a strong take on how good Rachel's current research is, but she's clearly doing relevant work and it seems high-impact to cover medical expenses to let her keep doing that if doing so is cheap.

**Donor's main reservations**

I am more confident that covering medical expenses is good than I am that other timesaving services such as a PA will be good.

**Process for deciding amount**

I have committed $10k for now, but would be willing to commit more if @rachelfreedman identifies to me that the current amount is insufficient to cover her medical expenses. Based on current committed funding, it looks to me like she may or may not have enough to do that depending on how much buffer is necessary. If the current amount is insufficient, I would likely be willing to put in more.

**Conflicts of interest**

None.

I saw this a couple weeks ago and thought it was a really good idea. Main reason I didn't fund it is because there are things I want to do more. Would be a real shame if the EA community couldn't step in and do this.
