6. Publication Impact to Inform Future Strategies
• Analysis current landscape of CGIAR in terms of publication output
both in quantity and quality.
• Comparative Analysis and World Benchmarking.
• Analysis of CGIAR Research Programs
– Output
– Impact
– Research Collaboration
– Research Excellence
7. Elsevier Research Output and Collaboration
Study 2014
Research outputs are a traditional
measure of research intensity:
7,929 Ag & Biological Sciences
2,378 Environmental
Sciences
1,358 Social sciences
21. Key drivers for future CGIAR portfolio
• Excellent and high impact research is resource demanding
requiring strategic allocation of resources to create critical
mass, research concentration and absorbative capacity.
• Identify synergistic CRPs that are aligned to high level strategic
goals(SLOs)
• Ensure that all CRPs have strong intellectual leadership and Institutional
commitment.
• Urgently address research tractable questions that includes work with
known and predictable applications as well as innovation that
accommodates serendipity and responds to emerging questions and
needs.
• Each CRP to produce a research and business plan that describes how
W1 & W2 funding will be allocated to address significant objectives with
global reach. In addition how bilateral funding (and others) will be used to
achieve ‘uplift objectives’.
• Incentivise the development of shared facilities e.g. SI and global HTP
genotyping platforms for global public goods.

24. Research/Science Strategy: principles
• Focus around grand challenges to foster inter-disciplinary/integrative
approaches.
• Strategic focus on selected areas..
• Innovation fund & scientific risk taking
• Reinforce the scientific excellence and relevance agenda
• Balanced portfolio supported by modern systems and processes to ensure
impact of research.
• Strong and Contemporary Partnership model.
• Clarity on the business/finance model, increase attractiveness of W1 & W2
funding.
• Expectations: criteria for assessment of new CRPs & measurement &
acknowledgement of success.
• Capacity & infrastructure
• Big data informatics
• Next generation of researchers
– Leadership & management capacity and commitment
– Research environment
– Incentivisation for shared facilities
25. Summary
• Publication output and impact for both Centres and CRPs.
– Scientific Excellence
• Portfolio review and extension proposals
– Sci2 analysis of funding in relation to SLOs and IDOs
• CGIAR SRF
– Second call for CRPs
• Mid Term Review of CGIAR reform
– Bolder ambitious programs
– Innovation
– Partnerships
• Private sector
– Governance
26. Measurement of success !!
Sydney Brenner
“Which type of science to
fund is simple:
all science is problem
driven and should be
judged by the importance
of the problem and the
quality of the solutions
provided.”
27. Strategy: principles
• Technology revolution
• Growing and Changing markets and the bio-economy.
• R&D investment trends and role of the private sector
• Big data and informatics
• Capacity and capability
– Infrastructure investment
– New generation of researchers.
