The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension is now accepting research proposals for funding under the UPLB Basic Research Program (UPLB BRP) for 2025 implementation.

The proposals must fall under one of the five UPLB AGORA focus areas: (1) Food Security and Sovereignty; (2) Resiliency and Sustainability; (3) Future Communities and Institutions; (4) One Health; and (5) Social Justice and Cultural Flourishing.

The guidelines and proposal template were revised (Annexes A and B) to strengthen the implementation of the UPLB BRP.

In line with the strategies and objectives of the Department of Agriculture to boost farm productivity and minimize production and postproduction costs, the DA-Bureau of Agricultural Research sets their thrust and priorities for the Call for Proposals (2025 funding).

To facilitate timely endorsement of proposals to the funding agency, UPLB researchers are required to submit documents (with document ID) endorsed through channels to OVCRE on or before 18 March 2024.

The Department of Science and Technology is calling for mutually beneficial and collaborative project proposals for implementation in the 1st Quarter of 2025 in any of the identified priority areas.

Interested parties are advised to coordinate with prospective counterpart/collaborator in Taiwan to craft the capsule proposals. The Filipino researcher must submit the capsule proposals to the respective DOST Council while the Taiwanese counterpart will submit the same to NSTC for review and evaluation.

The CAFS-IPB Analytical Services Laboratory (CAFS-IPB ASL) offers chemical analyses at a minimal cost to researchers in government and private institutions and provides free consultations to undergraduate and graduate students of the University.

The DOST - JSPS Joint Research Program is a bilateral exchange program that provides support for research to be conducted jointly by Filipino and Japanese researchers in accordance with their mutual agreement on international scientific collaboration.

It aims to contribute to scientific advancement by conducting bilateral research and to provide opportunities for young researchers to meet and exchange ideas.

The University recognizes the significant contribution of its employees in pursuing programs and projects toward our collective vision of becoming a future-proof research university. However, it is essential to acknowledge that each member of our personnel possesses unique appointments and responsibilities, which may result in varying degrees of official involvement and appointment in research and extension programs and projects.

In line with this, the University releases this memo regarding the program/project appointments of UPLB personnel for UP System- and externally-funded R&E programs and projects.

UPLBFI-implemented and core-funded projects and studies under the UPLB Basic Research Program are not covered by these guidelines.

This memo supersedes OC Memo No. 066, s.2019: Research Implementation in Relation to Retirement issued on June 18, 2019. This memo took effect on July 24, 2023.
