There are lots of challenges in managing research programs and projects. How to ensure that researchers with diverse personalities, perspectives, and opinions will work cohesively and productively as a team constitutes a perennial problem among program and project leaders. No researcher is completely prepared to handle all these. In reality, understanding the scientific rigors of research is not enough to guarantee successful implementation of research plans and activities.
The seminar, scheduled on December 12, 2020, addresses research management related issues and concern and how to overcome them.
Prof. Eva Maria Cutiongco-De La Paz, M.D., will keynote the fourth and final session of our four-day colloquy series “Researching the Researchers for the 21st Century: Needs, Challenges, and Productivity”. Specifically, her address will focus on the topic “Managing Research Programs”. Dr. De la Paz is a professor from the University of the Philippines-Manila and at present the Executive Director of National Institutes of Health and Director of the Health Program of Philippine Genome Center.
Moreover, selected leading researchers in the country–Prof. Raymond Girard R. Tan, Ph.D. (Natural Science, De La Salle University), Dr. Jaime C. Montoya (Health Science, Philippine Council for Health Research and Development), Prof. Ma. Mercedes T. Rodrigo, Ph.D. (Social Science, Ateneo de Manila University), and Prof. José S. Buenconsejo, Ph.D. (Humanities, University of the Philippines-Diliman) — will share their experiences and insights on research as well.

The Philippines is not short of brilliant and patriotic researchers who are willing to study, do research, and use such knowledge for national development. However, lack of funding and support is a hindrance in maximizing research potentials of both seasoned and budding researchers in the country. For academic researchers it is a constant struggle to obtain funding. They wonder how they can pursue more relevant and impactful research when research is not even a priority in their institutions. Our next webinar session this coming Saturday, December 05, 2020, is a conversation on this important issue.
Undersecretary for Research and Development Rowena Cristina L. Guevara, Ph.D. of Department of Science and Technology will key note the third session of our four-day colloquy series “Researching the Researchers for the 21st Century: Needs, Challenges, and Productivity” and will speak on the topic “Research Grants and Funding Opportunities.” Selected established/leading researchers from different universities/institutions and research areas will also share experiences and insights on their research activities.
