Rethink Priorities

About

At Rethink Priorities, we believe that rigorous research and strategic action can create meaningful, lasting change for both humans and animals. As a think-and-do tank, we don't just analyze problems - we work to implement solutions that improve lives now and safeguard a flourishing future. Our team combines intellectual curiosity with practical execution, maintaining the highest standards of evidence while remaining open to unconventional approaches. We focus on four key research areas: animal welfare, global health and development, surveys and data analysis, and worldview investigations. Our culture values transparency, collaboration, and intellectual honesty - we publish our findings openly and invite scrutiny from the broader research community. Whether we're evaluating interventions to reduce animal suffering, identifying neglected global health opportunities, or helping policymakers make data-driven decisions, we prioritize work that can achieve the greatest impact per dollar spent.
