I’m not aware of anyone doing precisely this. But here are a couple quick pointers to potentially relevant things:
ALLFED coordinate volunteers to do research, and I believe some/many of these volunteers are “amateurs”, and I’d guess that some of this research occurs in groups and could be called “cause prioritisation” (though I’m not certain)
I’d guess ALLFED would be happy to talk to people about what they’ve learned from this
There’s a group called READI coordinating a mix of amateur and professional researchers to do EA research, though not necessarily precisely “cause prioritisation research”
The various EA research coordination efforts related to COVID might provide useful evidence on how successful this sort of thing is in general, and how best to do it
This wouldn’t be about cause prioritisation, but some lessons might generalise
I think someone is planning to or already providing country-specific EA career advice in France, similar to what Brian Tan describes for the Philippines
If people want to hear more, I can message the person who I think was planning/doing this and see if they’re happy to give some public update or get in touch

There’s some info on their volunteer program here

Here’s their site
One of the coordinators is Peter Slattery, and I expect he’d be happy to talk to people about their work
I think Edo Arad has been involved in some relevant efforts
See their comments here

Thanks so much! I’m checking out these references now.
