Fellows will also get an exclusive opportunity to apply for full PhD funding. About Global Priorities Research Global priorities research is an academic discipline in the intersection of economics, philosophy, math and social sciences. Its aim is to determine how individuals and institutions should spend their limited resources in order to improve the world as much as possible. Global priorities research aims for this deliberation to take the long-term future of humanity into consideration. For more information on global priorities research, please see our research areas section, or visit the Global Priorities Institute website.
