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.
