In the pursuit of advancing healthcare in the region, the Cagayan Valley Health Research and Development Consortium (CVHRDC), under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Region 02 and led by the Regional Director Dr. Virginia G. Bilgera, has undeniably contributed to nurturing and guiding health research projects.
CVHRDC Executive Director Dr. Julius T. Capili, along with Ms. Lori Shane Busa, the Chairperson for the Research Management Committee, and members took center stage in providing mentoring and coaching to researchers yesterday, July 19, 2023, fueling the growth and impact of health-related studies in the region.
The CVHRDC is a regional consortium in the Philippines that focuses on promoting health research and innovation. Its primary goal is to build a strong and responsive health research system that addresses the region's health needs, supports policy development, and improves the overall health and well-being of the population.
This team comprises experienced researchers, subject matter experts, and industry leaders. They act as a guiding force for research proposals, ensuring their quality, feasibility, and alignment with the region's health priorities.
One of the primary tasks of the RMC is to identify and nurture promising health research projects in the Cagayan Valley region.
Meanwhile, the committee invites researchers to submit their proposals and assists them in refining their ideas. Through one-on-one interactions and workshops, the RMC provides valuable feedback, helping researchers develop well-structured and scientifically sound projects.
Furthermore, the consortium organizes training programs and capacity-building activities to ensure that researchers have access to the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their respective fields.
Through guiding researchers in the application process and providing insights into crafting winning proposals, the consortium increases the chances of project approval and success.
Overall, the CVHRDC continues to empower researchers to address the health challenges of Cagayan Valley, ultimately contributing to the betterment of the community's health and well-being.
