                Description
                Explore a curated list of short-term (under 15 hours) biosecurity projects designed to help individuals test their fit for work in biosecurity—no prior experience or lab work required.
                • Choose from a variety of research and writing projects, such as literature reviews on infectious disease surveillance, biosecurity policy analysis, or supply chain resilience.
                • Projects are accessible to those with only a computer and internet access, making them suitable for remote participation.
                • Each project is structured to be completed in 10–15 hours, with clear guidelines and resources provided for self-directed learning.
                • Ideal for those considering a transition into biosecurity or seeking to build relevant skills before committing to longer-term roles.
                No visa requirements are mentioned. For more details and project examples, visit the original post: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/xnBF2vcQaZgmhidyb/list-of-short-term-less-than-15-hours-biosecurity-projects
