At the Harmonized Full-Blown Proposal Development Writeshop, Dr. Ambrosio Cultura, Chair of NORMINCIEERD, emphasizes the need to further strengthen collaboration among consortia, expand workshops, and deepen industry linkages to ensure research addresses real community and industry needs.

Each consortium carries distinct focus areas:
Northern Mindanao Consortium for Health Research and Development for health and related sciences,
NorMin Consortium for Industry, Energy & Emerging Technologies R&D for industry, energy, and emerging technologies, and
NOMCAARRD for agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources.

If you're a researcher and want research funding support, contact these consortia or drop us a message.

More than 70 researchers from across Northern Mindanao are participating in Day 1 of the Harmonized Full-Blown Proposal Writeshop, where they are receiving mentoring and technical guidance from 11 DOST and partner institutions experts.

This year, 57 concept proposals from Northern Mindanao advanced to the full-blown proposal stage for the DOST Grants-in-Aid Program under PCIEERD, PCHRD, PCAARRD, and NRCP. This is one of the highest numbers of full-blown proposals recorded in the region to date, and reflects the growing quality and competitiveness of NorMin research proposals.

Held from May 12 to 13, at Philtown Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City, the two-day activity brings together the region’s R&D consortia to help researchers enhance their proposals for the DOST Grants-in-Aid Program. The writeshop aims to refine research ideas into well-developed proposals that meet national evaluation standards.
