Does the merchandise store, which will cost USD 311000, have an ROI
published somewhere?
I think some 'Research' is needed in WMF core, however any funds under
'Research' should be granted to, and administrated by, an academic
institution. Preferably via a competitive program.

Hi,
As agreed, the WMF is also sending their non-core program to the
FDC approval, you can see their proposal here:

But I'm asking myself, that's all what we consider as non-core? I didn't
really done a deep research in the WMF budget (as every item in the WMF
budget is like the whole big chapter budget and there are no breakdown),
but for example what jumped in my mind immediate: Merchandise store
(311,000$=Wikimedia Magyarország + Wikimedia Israel + Wikimedia Argentina
annual budget) - what make it core? or research (324,000$) and others
(again, can't go deeply with that as the items in the budget are
general..).
