| Summary: | This Brief Primer on Tools to Prioritize a Research and Innovation Portfolio in a Complex System Involving Multiple Decision Makers equips System Council and CGIAR leadership with ISDC tools (2020-2025) to guide difficult funding and research allocation choices amid shrinking resources and expanding global challenges. It outlines methods to make prioritization transparent, consistent, and defensible, integrating both top-down and bottom-up perspectives.
Drawing on ISDC’s previous publications, the Primer consolidates tools such as comparative and absolute advantage assessments, foresight and trade-off analyses, and systems-based boundary setting to help define where CGIAR can deliver the greatest impact across its five Impact Areas.
