TAC paper prepared by the Continuing Sub-Committee on the Role of CGIAR Centers in the Global Context. It deals with IARC collaboration with outside research institutions as a means of accommodating changing systemwide priorities and capitalizing on the comparative advantage of specialized research organizations. TAC offers principles to guide IARCs in their relations with external counterparts, including international centers not supported by the CGIAR, and touches upon funding arrangements.
