National Integrated Basic Research Agenda
In accordance with the 9th Philippine Legislatory Act No. 4120 of 8 December 1933, the
National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) is required to promote and support
scientific and basic research in the country. It is also required to advise on national concerns
and problems.In this regard, the NRCP supports research aimed primarily at developing new
and more comprehensive scientific knowledge or understanding of any topic which may have
practical applications or may have no practical applications. Simple study results from
intellectual curiosity to prove the unknown or to discover new information needed in future
practice
The National Integrated Basic Research Agenda (NIBRA) of the NRCP will give priority for

HEALTH Research and Development Agenda 2017 - 2022
The Philippine Council for health research and development (PCHRD-DOST) is recognized
and retained, as a National Coordinating Body for Health Research in the Country, by
Republic Act no. 10532 or the Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS) Act of
2013. The National Unified Health Researcher Agenda (NUHRA) has been established in
partnership with core PNHRS agencies: the Health Department (DOH), the Higher Education
Commission (CHED) and the National Institutes of Health - University of Manila (NIH-
UPM). The NUHRA serves the following purposes: it is the Philippines' National Roadmap;
provides a health research and development emphasis and direction; Focusing and directing
health research and development activities; guiding policy-makers, funding agencies and
scientists; providing evidence-based solutions to pressing health problems; and as a
framework for maximising the use of resources and minimizing research efforts.
Health research and development (R&D) research priorities are the result of meetings with
public and private experts and stakeholders and other government agencies, universities and
industries. Meetings, seminars and focused group meetings have been held in consultations
(FGDs).The priority research activities have been driven by the DOST's S&T thrusts, health
challenges existing and emerging and other national and global issues. Priorities in health
R&D include the NUHRA health S&T portion.

In addition to information from various parties concerned, the Harmonized National R&D
Agenda in AANR (HNRDA-AANR) 2017-2022 incorporates the current R&D agenda of the
government agencies in AANR. A multi-sectoral consultation has been carried out on
HNRDA-AANR 2017-2022. A Roundtable Consultation with members of government
agencies conducting R&D functions was initially held on 13 October 2016 at PCAARRD,
Los Baños (Laguna) by the Philippines Council for the Agriculture, Aquatics and Natural
Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD).
An initial draft agenda was then presented with the output of the consultation
The Crowne Plaza Hotel Galleria will be held during the National R&D Conference on

The town of Quezon. Representatives from the government, academia, the private and civil
society organizations participated in the meeting. During the joint regional R&D consortium
meeting of chairmen and directors held at PCAARRD on 28 November 2016, the draft
HNRDA-AANR was also sent to the R&D Regional Consortia. It was also sent to R&D
agency heads at AANR and further debated at the 2nd Round Table Consultation conducted
at PCAARRD on 10 February 2017The AANR industry promotes the use of advanced
technology, including biotechnology, genomics, bioinformatics, nuclear, spatial, electronics
and automation and ICT, as a method for research and development to solve the AANR
problems or create new products with a major potential effect on the business. The AANR
sector also supports the modernization of the sector and increasing production, quality, and

INDUSTRY, ENERGY AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGY Research and
Development Agenda 2017 - 2022
The Philippine Council for Manufacturing, Electricity and Emerging Technology Research
and Development is responsible for 17 sectors covering different sectors, energy and
transportation as well as high impact fields such as biotechnology and nanotechnology.
DOST-PCIEERD has as its overarching aim the strengthening of these industries by means of
R&D support, human resources, organization growth, information and technology
dissemination and policy development. These programmes, along with the advancement of
market prospects in the frontier industries, contribute to the strategy of the Department of
Trade and Industry for fostering productivity - support for the tremendous growth of the
services and production industry over the past six years. The aim is to achieve genuine and
inclusive growth in the long-term target for the government
In the industrial sector for 2017-2022, the Harmonized National R&D Agenda (HNRDA) is
developed through focused consultations with the private sector, national government
agencies (NGA), and academia. The conference was discussed at the 2016 National R&D
Conference and concluded in February 2017. The HNRDA is based on the individual DOST-
PCIEERD field map which was drawn up in collaboration with key stakeholders and aligned
with NGA priorities. Each R&D roadmap is regularly evaluated and updated in 2017-2022 to
ensure its continued relevance with quick technological developments and an increasingly
global economy.
To achieve a genuinely harmonized research and development policy in government, DOST-
PCIEERD has signed a range of Memorands of Understanding with NGAs to mainly
strategically and also fiscally seamlessly incorporate R&D efforts (through co-
implementation and cofunding of projects). By mid-2017 more than a dozen NGAs, including
the Energy Department, the Department of Public Works and Highways and the national
Defense Department would have formed partnerships.
Competitiveness in the manufacturing sector would concentrate on micro-, small- and
medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Many research & development initiatives would exploit
current resources and concentrate on the use of waste, added value of conventional goods and
efficient production processes. Finally, it must be remembered that the focus areas for 2017-
2022 should be four new areas of study. These industries are considered emerging and
important for domestic growth
Applications of Space Technology
Intelligence and computer science artificial
Research into human protection and security
Creative manufacturing industries
RESEARCH PRIORITIES for INDUSTRY, ENERGY AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGY
Protection of food and food

CCA) Research and Development Agenda 2017 - 2022
In line with the local and international development programs aligned with the 2017-2022
Harmonized National Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Agenda (HNRDA DRR-
CCA) the goals of government agencies and stakeholders involved in the DRR and CCA.The
HNRDA DRR-CCA consolidates the goals of multi sectoral DOST Sectoral Boards, DOST
agencies and DOST regional offices. Research goals were evaluated and brought into line
with relevant national programs, including the national disaster risk mitigation and
management strategy, National Climate Change Action Plan as well as global initiatives, such
as the Philippine Institute of Volcanic Seismology (PHIVOLCS) and Philippine Atmospheric
Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
In September 2015, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly approved the 2030
Sustainable Development Agenda. It sets 17 Sustainable development goals (SDGs) with 169
related objectives and outlines a range of international implementing support structures.
.The Sendai Disaster Risk Mitigation System (2015-2030) deals with "a risks of natural and
manmade hazards, and the associated risks, environmental, technological, biological and
frequent sudden and slow disasters." Climate change is considered one of the danger drivers.
It aims to direct disaster risk management at all stages of growth and in all industries.
By subscribing to the four priority acts defined, DOST supports the System,
In other words:
priority 1. Priority Comprehension of disaster danger
Priority 2: priority 2. Enhancing the governance of disaster risk management
priority 3. Priority 3. Disaster risk mitigation investment for resilience
