Rethink Priorities

Rethink Priorities is a think-and-do tank that carries out research and implements solutions intended to improve the lives of humans and animals. The organisation prioritises work on the basis of impact per dollar spent, directing its effort towards problems where additional resources are expected to achieve the most.

Its research spans animal welfare, global health and development, surveys and data analysis, worldview investigations, intervention evaluation and data-driven policy analysis. Rather than limiting itself to analysis, the organisation also puts findings into practice, combining academic rigour with execution. Its stated aim is meaningful, lasting change for both humans and animals.

Rethink Priorities publishes its findings openly and invites scrutiny from the wider research community, describing intellectual honesty, collaboration and the highest standards of evidence as core to its working method. It reports an openness to unconventional approaches, alongside a focus on curiosity and practical delivery.
