The Millennium Prize Problems are an example of an agenda pushing for progress in specific areas of mathematics.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by Clay Mathematics Institute's own statements and independent Wikipedia coverage; consistent framing across multiple sources that the problems were curated to guide mathematical research, modeled on Hilbert's 1900 list.
