The DOST-PCHRD - Gruppo Medica Award gives recognition to relevant and innovative research work on herbal medicine undertaken by undergraduate students. The Award highlights research that can lead to practical and/or commercial applications. The Award expects to provide the motivation for students with the technical guidance of their faculty advisers, to view undergraduate thesis not merely as an academic exercise, but as an excellent opportunity to contribute to national interest.

Who can participate

The Award is open to all undergraduate students of Colleges of Pharmacy, Chemistry, Nursing, and Arts and Sciences who have completed thesis projects on medicinal plants. The projects must have been completed within the current school year.

Who can nominate

Nominations must be made by the students' faculty adviser and should be endorsed to DOST-PCHRD by the College Dean and the region-based health research and development consortium. Each institution can endorse a maximum of three (3) thesis projects.

How to nominate

Nominations should be made in a prescribed nominations form stamped with the college seal. Submitted entries must also include the following: (1) Soft and hard copies of the thesis report (2) Plant authentication certification, and (3) Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) certification for researches involving animals and/or Ethical clearance from an Ethics Review Committee for researches involving human participants.

The criteria for the selection are:

The Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) recently approved two health research projects from the Central Luzon Health Research and Development Consortium (CLHRDC) for FY 2015.

The health research projects are entitled: “Canine Rabies Vaccination Outcome Monitoring and its Implication to Rabies Control and Prevention Program in Pampanga” and “Isolation and Molecular Identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) from Nile Tilapia (Oreochomis niloticus) as Potential Pathogen Antagonist”. Both projects have a one-year project duration and are from Angeles University Foundation and Pampanga State Agricultural University amounting to P499,445.00 and P445,372.50, respectively.

The assistance is through the Regional Research Fund (RRF) Initiative which is viewed as a way to encourage beginning researchers to be actively involved in health research activities without having to compete with more experienced researchers. These RRF projects are intended to build up the capabilities of individual researchers in designing, implementing and managing health research projects.

CLHRDC continues to accept and review research proposals which address priority health problems/issues identified in the Regional Unified Health Research Agenda (RUHRA) and/or National Unified Health Research Agenda (NUHRA) of the Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS). Regular staff and faculty members of research institutes, medical and paramedical schools, hospitals and other health related agencies may submit proposals to the consortium, properly endorsed by the head of the agency.

Qualified proposals may also be endorsed by the consortium to other funding agencies such as the DOH-RO III, CHED-RO III and DOST – III.
