Thanks for writing the post! I think we need a lot more strategy research, cause prioritization being one of the most important types, and that is why we founded Convergence Analysis (theory of change and strategy, our site, and our publications). Within our focus of x-risk reduction we do cause prioritization, describe how to do strategy research, and have been working to fill the EA information hazard policy gap. We are mostly focused on strategy research as a whole which lays the groundwork for cause prioritization. Here are some of our articles:
We’re small and relatively new group and we’d like to see more people and groups do this type of research and that this field get more support and grow. There is a vast amount to do and immense opportunity in doing good with this type of research.
I’ll give a +1 for Convergence. I’ve known the team for a while and worked with Justin a few years back. It’s a bit on the theoretical side of prioritization, but that sort of thinking often does lead to more immediate value.
My impression is also that more funding could be quite useful to them, if anyone is reading this considering.

Heuristics for cause prioritization and assessing interventions
A case for strategy research
How to find interventions and measures
Components of strategy research (one of which is cause prioritization and it is dependent upon the others)
A research agenda for longtermists
