HEADS UP| CALL FOR PROPOSAL

The Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) is now accepting proposals for Collaborative Research and Capacity Building Initiative in HIV and Schistosomiasis.

One of the strategic objectives of the Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS) for 2019-2022 is to strengthen the capacity of the network to support health research. To address this objective, the PNHRS Capacity Building Committee (CBC) created the Collaborative Research Capacity Building Initiative which will integrate the capacity building efforts of the implementing agencies, regional consortia, and member institutions. Harmonizing the efforts in research capacity will result in better use of resources which will contribute to the development of evidence-informed health decisions, programs, and policies.

The deadline for submission is on 30 APRIL 2020
