RESEARCH SCRIPT (PER SLIDE)

SLIDE 1

MinSCAT’s research agenda is in consonance with institutional, regional and national priorities
concerned that are clustered based on the areas of specialization/and offerings of the different colleges
and departments. The researches that may be generated are also in consistent with the thrusts and
priorities of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the National Higher Education Research
Agenda (NHERA) of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and the Department of Agriculture
(DA). The agenda and the indicative projects illuminate the need for the conduct of multidisciplinary
research. Multidisciplinary research boosts the perspective of faculty researchers on their own discipline
as well as leads to acquire insights on other disciplines. There are various research activities being
conducted by other agencies however these can be an opportunity to forge collaboration and
partnership to fill each other’s needs as far as research implementation is concerned.
