Like other members of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), it faced the challenge of a changing external environment where funds for research were declining, and therefore, a pursuit of a focused research agenda was imperative. This change motivated stronger accountability and a search for an objective research priority setting and resource allocation process. Significantly, it prompted awareness among scientists and research managers about the impact and payoff of research....... publisher: National Center for Agricultural Economics and Policy Research and International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics date: 2000 type: Book Section type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/6352/1/Linkage_among_Bantilan_2005.pdf identifier: Bantilan, M C S (2000) Linkages among measurable Criteria and Sensitivity analysis for Research Priority Setting: Learning from the experiences of ICRISAT.
