NIH-UPM National Institutes of Health, University of the Philippines Manila NRCP National Research Council of the Philippines. The formulation of the HNRDA is consistent with the DOST's mandate to provide central direction, management and coordination of the scientific and technological efforts in the country. Comments and recommendations made during the 1st NRDC were taken into consideration in the final version of the HNRDA which was presented to stakeholders during the 2nd National R&D Conference on 15 February 2017.
One of the outcomes identified in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 is to increase the country's potential growth by building the foundations for a competitive global knowledge economy where accelerated technology adoption and stimulated innovation are expected to be achieved. HNRDA is organized in 5 sectors: Basic Research; Agriculture Water and Natural Resources; Health; Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology; and Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation. The agenda was formulated by the National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP), the Philippine Council for Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD), the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD), the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Research and Emerging Technology Development (PCIEERD), the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) in collaboration with stakeholders in the respective sectors.
The National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP), a collegial body of more than four thousand researchers, scientists and experts, is mandated to promote and support fundamental and basic research in the country as stipulated in the 9th Philippine Legislature Act No. . NRCP's National Integrated Basic Research Agenda (NIBRA) will prioritize fundamental research in support of the Philippine Development Plan, the National Security Plan and the Science for Change Program led by the Department of Science and Technology.
