Information Technology
• Collaboration 1) Local
2) Regional
3) Global
• Creation of “Labor Pools”
• Database• Investigators• Panelists/researchers• Visiting committees• M&E staff

Setting Research Priorities
![Page 14: Research and leadership in the modern age](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5585ac62d8b42ae22a8b4e98/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Setting Priorities
• Government – national goals
• Funding agency – selects fields of investigation
• Institutional goals – areas of comparative advantage
• Principle investigator (PI) – project selection
![Page 15: Research and leadership in the modern age](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5585ac62d8b42ae22a8b4e98/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Collaboration
• Continuing dialogue on priorities • Boards• Advisory Boards• Visiting Committees• Peer review panels• Program managers• Workshops• International contacts• Other
