I suspect that there will be some good opportunities to leverage the EA behaviour science community for some of this work (as I am sure you already know). Particularly if you can connect good data/research opportunities with upcoming academics keen to for publications. I’ll mention this initiative in the next edition.
I agree, and thanks for mentioning this. Perhaps a major part of our task, to make this work, is to come up with good systems and easy frameworks and ground rules for facilitating and enabling these cooperations. E.g.,
How can researchers/academics sign up and indicate their interests and suggestions? How is this information shared?
What must the researchers provide and promise (and commit to sharing with the community)
How do the partner organizations specify their interests and the areas they are willing to test and experiment with?
What must the partner organisations agree to do and share?
We provide some templates, generally-accepted protocols, tools (both statistical, ‘standard language’ templates, and IT/web design tools), and possible sources of funding (and coordination) for advertisements
Maybe we also organize some academic sources of value and credibility, like a conference

Agree! However, I’d personally avoid putting in much effort into any of that until there is clear evidence that enough researchers will get involved if you provide that.
