MANILA —<\/strong>\u00a0The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is seeking collaborative research and development (R&D) proposals from higher education institutions (HEIs) and Research and Development Institutions (RDIs) and their partner industries.<\/p>\n

The approved proposals, which need to be completed from one to three years, will have at most PHP5 million funding, according to a leaflet released by the DOST recently.<\/p>\n

The collaborative R&D funding will be made possible through the DOST’s Collaborative Research and Development to Leverage Philippine Economy (CRADLE) Program, which is also part of the agency’s Science for Change Program (S4CP).<\/p>\n

DOST Undersecretary Rowena Cristina Guevara earlier told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) that the S4CP aims to identify areas that need enhanced R&D investments and innovations.<\/p>\n

Thus, collaborative proposals must be in line with the DOST’s priority areas for R&D, such as agriculture, fishery, and forestry; semiconductor and electronics; agri-processing; integrated circuit design; renewable energy; creative industries; information and communications technology and artificial intelligence; industrial waste treatment; food and nutrition; infrastructure and logistics; manufacturing; and environment and climate change.<\/p>\n

With such collaborative work, the partner industry will identify a problem, while the partner HEI or RDI will do the necessary R&D to find solutions.<\/p>\n

An HEI or RDI must have at least one partner industry, which the DOST requires to shoulder at least 20 percent of the total project cost.<\/p>\n

Counterpart funding may be in cash, in kind, or person-hour support in the academe, according to DOST.<\/p>\n

The DOST believes that R&D collaborations between the academe and industries will help gain an edge in the market, and produce products or services that respond to the changing local and global needs.<\/p>\n

Just recently, the DOST awarded the funding to three R&D collaborators that sent their proposals last year.<\/p>\n

One is Technological Institute of the Philippines Manila for the National Capital Region, with Pascual Pharma Lab as the industry partner. Its project is called ” PCOPEIA: Predictive Chromatography of Organic Plant Extracts with Intelligent Agents”, which got a total budget of PHP5,179,399.<\/p>\n

Another is University of San Agustin from Region 6, with Del Monte as its industry partner. Its project, “Metabolomics as a Tool for Discovery and Target and Untargeted Hypocholesterolemic Natural Products from Pineapple”, got a budget of PHP4,999,138.<\/p>\n

The third grantee is the University of Southeastern Philippines from Region 9, with Hijo Resources Corporation as industry partner. Its project, “Synergize Academe-Industry Research Undertaking to Improve Productivity through Development of Banana Diseases Surveillance System”, got a budget of PHP4,999,438.<\/p>\n

Interested parties may inquire about the requirements and submit their proposals to the Office of the Undersecretary for R&D, 2nd floor, ADMATEL Building, DOST Compound, Bicutan, Taguig City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
