ILINA Junior Research Fellowship

What this project is

We would use the funding to pay more competitive stipends to our Junior Research Fellows (in line with the kinds of stipends other AI x risk fellowships give) and support their travel to conferences, etc.

Theory of impact

This would expand the ability that talented Africans (who we carefully select) have to learn more about AI x risk and then potentially do high-impact AI x risk work in future. For context, ILINA Program has a creditable record of helping talented Africans to get into AI x risk work, join top fellowships and work at leading AI governance organizations.

How the money will be spent

The money would be spent to pay a 12k USD stipend to each ILINA Junior Research Fellow that we select, and to support conference and co-working travel for each Junior Research Fellow that we select.
