Mission
    
 

The Institutional and Human Resource Developement Sub-Committee facilitates and expand scholaship, research and health development by providing leadership, resources, coordination, oversight and innovation in research capability building in Region I

    
  Vision    
 

The Institutional and Human Resorce Development Subcommittee will achieve national prominence in research and promote health development by:

  • Providing and environment that fosters intellectual discovery, creative problem-solving and the dissemination and application of knowledge in the conduct of research;
  • Conducting research capability-building programs that contribute significantly to health and eventually, social and economic development;
  • Exposing students, health care workers and higher eductaion institution faculty researchers to nationally recognized researchers who are leaders in their disciplines;
  • Offering superior support services to health research clientele; and
  • Establishing national and international partnerships in research
    
  Goals    
  Goal 1. Expand and strengthen research capability and enhance capacity of the region's health researchers.    
 

Medium-term strategies

  • Foster commitment among consortium and institutional members and their trainees and trainers' and research writers' trainings
  • Promote transfer of knowledge and skills in health research from experts to trainers through training, coaching and mentoring
  • Develop a pool of health research experts and consultants in the region
  • Assist the member-institutions in the enhancement of promoting a culture of research in their respective agencies
    
Short-term Strategies  
  • Update the directory list of trainees (and eventually trainers and pool of experts) on health research from the region
  • Promote peer mentoring between senior researchers and students among the consortium members
  • Continue to conduct trainings/writeshops both for trainers and research investigators in the region
  • Tap/Invite experts in the field of reseach capability building and actual conduct of researches by research investigators
  • Expose trainees to ongoing researches of experts in the actual research site for experential learning.
  • Suggest to heads of institutions a review of tenure procedures and incentives given to their researchers and the balancing of teaching, scholarship, research and service especially among higher education institutional members of the consortium
