Discussion here. GPI focuses on prioritization research – what to prioritize and why; how to consider this. They focus less on 'how to implement improvements and interventions'.
The 'Methodology' page provides a useful discussion and overview. 'Research briefs' are also particularly helpful, and connect to a range of academic and policy research
Psychology for Effectively Improving the Future — A Research Agenda (Lucius Caviola, Joshua Lewis, Matti Wilks, Abigail Novick Hoskin, Stefan Schubert)
Obviously longtermism focused, but many of the issues are fundamental to 'nearterm' and GCR concerns as well.

Questions, not sources of research; and lots of 'links out to other agendas'. But these may help us do queries and filters.

Link -- fairly brief discussion and overview, links to OP-funded research; little academic research connected
Some very useful links (should be an Airtable?)

Abstract: In global surveys with more than 10,000 economists, we study economists’ views about what is worth knowing. We document a coordination failure, i.e., a discrepancy between what economists consider to be worth knowing and the research they actually produce. Relative to the status quo, most economists believe that economics should become more policy-relevant, multidisciplinary, disruptive, and pursue more diverse research topics. However, economists strongly underestimate how many of their colleagues endorse these views. Because researchers follow strategic motives and pursue projects that they expect their colleagues to reward, these misperceptions can sustain the miscoordination in the production of research.

Ramsay Brown mentioned this in his talk. Seems to include both AI governance, tech AI, and AI-related work further afield
- How can we predict the next pandemic? Are there plausible candidate pathogens outside the usual suspects (flu, pox or coronavirus)?
- What economic impacts of AI do we expect to see in the next five years? The next ten? Which industries will be impacted first?
- How was Oral Rehydration Therapy developed and rolled out? Why did it take until the 1960s when the underlying mechanism is so simple?- -
- The pessimists are probably right about lab grown meat for human consumption. Is there a niche for it anyway?
- Does the typical American cow lead a life worth living?
- We're approaching the 10 year anniversary of the replication crisis: what's changed, what hasn't?
