Also, I made a central directory for open research questions, and many of the questions that can be found via that either are behavioural science questions or could inspire behavioural science questions. (The 80,000 Hours article drew on the directory, so it contains a more curated and organised-by-discipline selection from that, but the directory provides a larger total menu.)
80,000 Hours made a list of Research questions that could have a big social impact, organised by discipline. The disciplines include psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience, economics, sociology, and some other potentially relevant disciplines.

Skimming through my directory for collections that I think might be particularly relevant, some that stand out are:

(Those categories are pretty arbitrary and quick and only for the purpose of this comment.)
This is really cool! Thanks for sharing, Michael :)
