Introduction to Linux for Scientists

This training course aims to equip scientists and researchers with the basic knowledge of the linux operating system. Nowadays, most of the research tools, for example those used in sequence alignment and visualization, are developed for the linux operating system because of its power and open source nature. Basic knowledge of linux is thus very important for scientists. This course is targeted to principal investigators, project leaders, and research staff. Resource persons are researchers themselves who have used the power of linux in their own researches.

Mainstreaming gender and development (GAD) for a gender responsive research, extension and instruction programs and projects

The passage of Magna Carta of Women (RA 9710) and its subsequent Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) instructed all government agencies, including state universities, colleges and educational/ academic institutions, to mainstream GAD in their policies, people, plans, programs, activities (PPAs), and enabling mechanisms as entry points to make the agencies gender responsive.

More, these agencies must build the capacities of its people, particularly the GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) to lead in gender mainstreaming efforts within the agency. Strategies to mainstream GAD within an organization through capacity building may include the following:

Gender Sensitivity and Understanding Basic GAD Concepts
Identifying Gender Issues through Gender Analysis
GAD Budget Attribution/ Gender Analysis using Harmonized GAD Guidelines (HGDG)
Gender Analysis using Gender Mainstreaming Evaluation Framework (GMEF)
GAD Planning and Budgeting and Preparation of GAD Accomplishment Report
Agency GAD Framework/ Agenda Preparation
Gender Audit and GAD Monitoring and Evaluation

The proposed training program will provide knowledge on basic GAD concepts relevant in mainstreaming gender in research, extension and instruction. It will provide awareness and appreciation on how to be gender sensitive in the workplace and at home.

Duration: Depending on the need of the agency, the training can be packaged into a one gender sensitivity training (GST), two (GST ++), or three days or more training to include GST++, gender analysis for GAD planning and budgeting ( use of Harmonized GAD Guidelines and Gender Mainstreaming Evaluation Framework, and other gender analysis tools relevant for project design and implementation), and in preparing agency GAD plan and budget

Venue, course fee, and other requirements:Based on requesting party; rate is government rate based on Magna Carta for Science Workers and DBM Budget Circular 2007-01 to be charged to agency GAD Budget

Course coordinator:DR. BLESSHE L. QUERIJERO, (Asst. Professor 6, IBS-UPLB, Certified Member of the Philippine Commission on Women National GAD Resource Pool (Batch 1) and former DOST-wide GAD Mainstreaming Coordinator (2007-2013); project leader of the DOST-PCW-CIDA Gender Responsive Economic Action for the Transformation (GREAT) Women Project entitled Assessment on the gender responsive of DOST Technology Transfer Technologies and Technology Transfer Programs )
