I’m not sure what other groups you have in mind, but I’ll answer this with regard to longtermism-oriented EA-affiliated research groups.
We’ve collaborated a lot with the Future of Humanity Institute and the Forethought Foundation and have even shared staff and research projects with them on occasion. We have also talked some with people at Global Priorities Institute and other organizations.
I’d guess right now the biggest bottleneck is just finding ways to get more researchers working on these most important questions. There’s a lot more talent out there than there are spots open. More funding would help, but we also need more management and mentorship capacity.
I’m optimistic that our internship program will be a help for this, but it is still funding constrained.
